US Political News and Trump’s China visit

Fair enough, any people can need a leg up sometimes.

It still is a bit of a stereotype, I have no lived experience of it myself, but like I said.. it seems to be common perception there that certain groups do end up 'taking' more. There probably are individuals who game the system, from across racial/political groups.

I understand that some groups may end up “taking” more than others. However, it is important to recognize that we are not just talking about low-income individuals trying to game the system for a few hundred dollars.

We are confronted with modern-day robber barons and big corporations who have been exploiting the system and continue to grow richer and more powerful. They have been able to significantly increase their wealth by taking advantage of tax policies that favor them.

According to data from the Economic Policy Institute, between 1979 and 2019, the average income of the top 1% grew by 160%, while the average income of the bottom 90% grew by only 26%. This disparity in income growth has contributed to increasing income inequality in the United States.

May or may not be true. New presidents get a selection of very famous historic resolute desks to choose from, I read.

Didn't you read the New York Post article I posted? Just for your information, the New York Post is a pro-Trump newspaper.

Below are some excerpts from the article:

Trump swaps out Resolute Desk in the Oval Office days after Elon Musk’s son X appeared to wipe a booger on it

“President Trump ordered the iconic Resolute Desk removed from the Oval Office for refurbishment after Elon Musk’s 4-year-old son, X, appeared to pick his nose and rub the desk on live TV last week.”

“At one point, the tot — whose mom is pop star Grimes — wiggled his finger around in his nostril and then seemingly wiped the resulting bounty on the famous desk, first used by John F. Kennedy in 1961 and later used by presidents including Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden during their time in office.”

Trump, a known germaphobe, revealed in a Truth Social post Thursday that the Resolute Desk had been temporarily replaced with the C&O desk, one of six available to the sitting president.

“This desk, the ‘C&O,’ which is also very well-known and was used by President George H.W. Bush and others, has been temporarily installed in the White House while the Resolute Desk is being lightly refinished—a very important job,” Trump wrote.

“This is a beautiful, but temporary replacement!”

It would be better (and more truthful) if it read:

JUST IN: Elon Musk approves the idea of the United States leaving NATO.

Pretty sure after this, when Dem get back in power, they will have the Secretary of DHS have a good long look at Musk immigration form, specifically the time around 1995 when he formed his first company while still a student with UPenn. And anything even remotely not up to status, they probably will denaturalise his a$$, which quite a lot of people think he probably was not in any immigrant visa when he start his company

Musk had probably gone too far this time.
 
Russia’s greatest military asset is not any bomb, tank, plane or ship. It is the Republican Party.
