The governor of New York was reduced to begging the wealthy to move back to the high-tax state in order to help fund its social programs.

Kathy Hochul made the comments during a Politico forum in Albany on March 11 after the state legislature called for higher taxes.

"I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state," said Hochul.

"There are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. OK! Cut me the checks. If you want to be supportive, then maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home, because our tax base has been eroded," she added.  

The United States has flown more than 8,000 combat flights and struck more than 7,800 targets in Iran since the conflict began three weeks ago, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said on March 18, as Iranian state-run media warned of imminent strikes on nearby countries' oil refineries.

I was relatively strongish as a supporter in 2016, 2020, and even a bit in 2024. I loved the way he shut the borders and put illegals on notice... started negotiations to bring back manufacturing jobs to the US, getting rid of woke shit, and fake crony green industry shit. I still do... 

...but the attacks on some of his prior ardent supporters because they disagreed with the manner and rationale of his policies really poisoned my well...particularly when we can easily pull up footage and transcripts of him pre 2015 ridiculing the mentality which has ironically driven his choices into this new term of his.

5-6 fumbled and changing reasons why Iran is an existential threat now, and that's why the time was now to attack unprovoked? Yeah, nah... Trump can go fuck himself on that one. And now the panhandling to NATO and semi aligned nations to sacrifice their military men and women plus the ships they're on in a narrow shipping lane TRUMP lit on fire? Yeah nah, Trump can go fuck himself again on that one. All those nations basically said the same.

Then there's the almost constant EO's to get his shit done. I understand he's got PTSD from a decade of false accusations, activist judges, and treasonous bureaucrats... I've often feel real empathy for the crap he's had to endure and continues to endure, but the US isn't his company. He has to make his best case and not his best iron fist.

Venezuela, Iran, potentially Cuba or even Mexico.... with quips about Greenland? Ok, I did find his Greenland stuff entertaining, but the rest never should have happened or shouldn't happen.

Double tap strikes on 170+ children and rescuers? Fuck Donald Trump.

Saying nothing about Israel pulverizing tens of thousands of Gazan civilians, while illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank divert water, cut down trees, and in some cases murder the lawful residents? Yeah nah... fuck Donald Trump.

Removing armaments stationed in bases throughout the Middle East from reliable partners who just got their infrastructures attacked in retaliation for what the US and Israel did, then giving it to Israel? Taking components out of South Korea and giving it to Israel? Yeah nah... fuck Donald Trump.


Continuing to subsidize Israel to the tune of billions per year while US citizens have a lower standard of living? Yeah nah... fuck Donald Trump.


There's a whole slew of things we should say fuck Trump for... but if he regains his balls and changes course, I will forgive him but not forget.

He's killing REAL MAGA and turning the US into an even bigger pariah on the international stage where the US's word means nothing and people are sick of it... even former supporters like myself.

Trump was not my first choice for the Republican nomination. Kamala was not even an option. She was part of the intentionally worst administration in US history.

There are many policies of the current administration I like and others I disagree with. One idea I think is a vote buying gimmick and a waste of money is tariff dividends. The hundreds of billions collected through tariffs should be applied to the deficit.

Not to mention how many of them are accusing Trump of being a Ped?

Know what they say about pointing a finger and four pointing right back at you?

Present me ONE scripture that proves conclusively there is a place of fiery torment where people are sent to suffer unimaginable pain for all eternity

And if you go the cheap route ie the Lake of fire referenced in the book of revelation I'm going to laugh at you even harden than I am now

go with something a little more robust -- like -- the Valley of Hinnom ... that way I know you are at least semi literate on the matter.

go. 

I'm off to bed, lads. Please condense your posts to me in one burst with the lead word being FROOD in all caps so I can weed out distractions and diversions when I get back to it. 

Quote from: Frood on March 19, 2026, 12:22:35 AMI name specific instances of criminality. Ie an illegal alien. You tar and feather whole nations worth of people's, civilians, old men, women, children... 

No contest, mate. You're fully delusional.

Anyone who supports my enemy whether they are doing so willingly or through coercion is my enemy by extension

why is that so difficult for you to understand? 

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on March 19, 2026, 12:21:34 AMI'm sorry, but your attempts to box me in will continue to fail. I don't even know what "new age" is. Is that a tiktok thing or something?

Let's just say I'm highly informed as to what the bible says and does not say, needn't be a "christian, a jew or any other religion to pick up the book and read it.
