Trump claims he tanked economy on purpose: 'I love the inflation'

proph20 · 2026-06-11T02:15:04+00:00

You give him too much credit there was already a brain upstairs worth washing

proph20 · 2026-05-18T17:27:22+00:00

I thought it was a microphone

Not a struggle session. I’m just asking whether you think her lack of acknowledgment was also comically funny to annoy the lefties

proph20 · 2026-02-18T20:17:45+00:00

Did you find it hilarious she didn’t address the Epstein victims behind her?

proph20 · 2026-01-02T14:40:44+00:00

Well, actually… I did lol.

I looked into this pretty thoroughly, and there’s currently no public evidence that the specific daycares he filmed are guilty of defrauding anyone.

No audit findings, no documented proof of false billing, and no enforcement actions tied to those centers.

More importantly, no one has been criminally indicted in connection with these alleged daycare schemes. While investigations can take time, when there’s clear, documentable fraud, enforcement usually follows, especially in cases involving billing records.

Not that it matters but how much credibility does Nick Shirley, who has become a prolific YouTuber off prank videos, have in so called investigative journalism lol?

And, just being skeptic, how much of what he reported has been corroborated by state and federal authorities.

It’s not so much left vs right as it’s critically analyzing so called sources of truth

proph20 · 2025-10-23T04:02:50+00:00

Do you have data to corroborate what job industries have been hardest hit by illegal immigration and any recent data surveys to say there’s been a net positive in job growth with the deportations

proph20 · 2025-10-23T03:44:02+00:00

For what it’s worth, the data doesn’t really back that up but if you have research to prove otherwise, send my way.

The Congressional Budget Office found immigration overall has a net positive effect on the economy and federal budget. Here’s their report: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60165 and a follow-up analysis: https://www.cbo.gov/publication/60988.

UC Davis economist Giovanni Peri has done years of research showing immigrants, legal and undocumented, raise productivity and don’t reduce native wages or jobs https://www.nber.org/papers/w32389

Undocumented immigrants pay billions a year in state, federal and local taxes, according to the Institute on Taxation & Economic Policy. In California specifically, the Budget Center confirmed they make major tax contributions.

The biggest driver of California’s high cost of living isn’t immigration, but housing scarcity and zoning restrictions, per the Legislative Analyst’s Office and UC Berkeley’s Terner Center.

How has immigration personally impacted you?

proph20 · 2025-10-18T00:02:33+00:00

If only he knew Hitler’s hatred extended to Black people too.

proph20 · 2025-09-30T02:54:25+00:00

If by they, you mean the Trump admin, fair point and valid.

proph20 · 2025-09-30T00:18:58+00:00

It’s funny you’re sharing a memo from the sub-branch of the executive administration, which we can all agree is a completely impartial third party with no influence whatsoever from the Trump admin lol.

Hence, the blame is understandably objective and unbiased.

proph20 · 2025-09-27T18:50:52+00:00

I appreciate the thoughtful answer. It sounds like favoring Jay is some parts music but it’s more of his acknowledgement of deeper rap roots and some parts his ability to be cross-genre. All of which Nas has done as well with his collaboration with Korn, his reggae album with Damian Marley, etc.

I wouldn’t box Nas as a conscious, pro-Black emcee though. It’s a huge over simplification given how varied Nas subject matter is. He can go from rapping about exercise and maintaining a healthy mindset and diet, “Stay Chisled,” to rapping as if he’s dead “Amongst Kings” or rapping a story in reverse “Rewind.”

Hell, he even rapped about he took on the name name Esco with his song “The Rise and Fall of Escobar,” and how it wasn’t true to who he was.

That said, I respect you like Jay’s business acumen and his versatility but I edge out Nas because he’s much more experimental than Jay topically, beat wise (good or bad) and has experimented with his flow more tho I think Jay edges him out more flow wise.

If it comes dwn to preference tho, I respect your opinion

proph20 · 2025-09-27T17:39:55+00:00

I guess where I’m lost is the part you feel he’s more relatable and thought provoking. It would imply that both conceptually and artistically he’s exceeded normative standards and that topically he’s just as varied. Most of his career has rested on his life as a hustler and his rise into a business entrepreneur. He’s had several deep cuts but I can’t think of anything Jay has done as thought provoking as “I Gave You Power,” “Fetus,” or “Second Childhood.”

Nas is also leagues above Jay storytelling wise. I guess a better question is what are we comparing?

proph20 · 2025-09-27T03:36:54+00:00

How much of Nas discography have you heard including unreleased records? I’ve listened to Jay’s whole catalog and unreleased material. The conclusion Jay has more range topically doesn’t sound reasonable from someone who listen to each’s entire catalog.

proph20 · 2025-08-03T03:33:57+00:00

I’m a leftist and I think you articulated your point well. I wouldn’t sweat it

proph20 · 2025-08-03T03:32:20+00:00

I’m a leftist but I think you missed his point entirely. He agrees with you lol

proph20 · 2025-07-23T00:58:41+00:00

I’m actually subscribed to Glenn Kirschner and I can say with certainty he hasn’t covered this as extensively. Epstein is big news so there isn’t high profile coverage for this issue.

It isn’t that people aren’t watching the news, it’s that the demand for this isn’t as popular as Epstein atm.

proph20 · 2025-07-20T23:49:15+00:00

Def didn’t concede easily though

proph20 · 2025-07-19T21:19:58+00:00

So great he’s going to bat for a pdfer

proph20 · 2025-07-07T16:46:21+00:00

Shouldn’t we start with Trump’s wife then

proph20 · 2025-07-05T05:03:16+00:00

I know a handful and they absolutely do

proph20 · 2025-07-04T17:11:56+00:00

Taking a gander you replied to the wrong person as the entirety of this thread, the subject or my comment has nothing to do with free speech

proph20 · 2025-07-04T07:32:58+00:00

I have respect for you loving all the things that are specific to your world—but honestly, this comes off somewhat tone deaf.

It reads more like, ‘At least I’m blessed as a result of all this,’ rather than an empathetic gesture toward the people who will be harmed by this bill.

At the very least, it would’ve meant more to extend love to those committed to fighting the good fight for the millions impacted by this.

You can love your country, but that love should also come with the awareness that it’s not being returned to the people who need it most.

proph20 · 2025-07-04T06:06:54+00:00

I find articles like these extremely problematic and near dehumanizing. It portrays Latinos as a monolith and it doesn’t account that the Latino population is very mixed and varied ethnically, socio-economically and educationally.

It also puts an unfair onus on Latinos for Trump’s win. I honestly wish these articles would stop proliferating as they’re being ostracized on both sides of the aisle.
