All went well. Here is what my wife has been sending out: He's done and in recovery. The nodule is "consistent with squamous cell" (what he's had before). She took some more lymph nodes but they looked normal. They will test them. He'll be in recovery for "a while". She said his lungs look great. Funny, we always hear how healthy he is other than the cancer. So, while expected, it being cancer sucks. We'll figure out a plan in the next few weeks.

Tim guy and all these other liberal idiots irrationally sky screaming doom and gloom 4000 times a day? Is that why they finally shuttered their windows and locked their doors? I've never been accused of calling a liberal intelligent, but today's liberal has got to be the dumbest in history.

Kamala was right all along, and so were her supporters. We knew what was best for America, you guys did not. That is now apparent to everyone. Too late now though.

Sorry for your son being brainwashed.

Normally I'd give an incoming POTUS a grace period of 6-9 months in regards to "owning" the economy; but Trump was so intent on a Hundred Days blitz that he kind of negates that grace. If he had sunset more Federal employees and gave a further out deadline for the tariffs (both to allow American businesses and other countries in line), his outlook would be much more rosy. He owns any failures of this economy. There's no real tie back to Biden....but to be fair, if it succeeds...none of the Dems can ride on his coat tails. He would own the success as well.

I had nothing to do with the Political forum being shut down. I wasn’t even around when it happened. It’s bullsh!t. I think it mostly happened because conservative posters reported everybody. It was pretty rare of me to report anyone; you had to be really offensive. But the Trumpers did it all the time. On purpose I think to get the whole thing shut down. There were a few libs too but it was 90% comservatives who were the problem.

Fock them. We can remove our tariffs when they remove their tariffs.

Of course, MAGAs go right to the whole voter-fraud crap when they get their ass kicked in a key race that their beloved oligarch threw millions of dollars at. Just take the L and STFU. The blue wave has begun.

Maga reaction: FATHER TRUMP SAVES US FROM DEPRESSION. ALPHA MOVE. ART OF THE DEAL.

Biden blamed all bad things on Trump for 4 years. Trump has had less than 100 days to fix the disaster he inherited. This is Biden’s economy still. Own it. Trump is the way and he will lead us to a Golden Age. Patience.

Surgery is tomorrow, report time 5:30am, surgery 7:30 (west coast time). Good news is I'm the first surgery so I don't have to wait for some indeterminate delay. Bad news is I need to drive 45 minutes for that report time. My wife is wigging out more about this than I am. Probably because her uncle had this procedure -- albeit in his 70s and a heavy smoker all his life, whereas I'm in my 50s and never smoked, but... um, he died during it. I presume his lung wouldn't re-inflate? Anyway, I don't expect to die, but wish me luck anyway, especially about the nodule being benign. Also the not dying part.

How do ya know they were all paid? Got any evidence or is that just a knee-jerk response ya learned from Foxnews? Sorta like "fake news" whenever there's news that doesn't flatter Trump.?. I would've gladly joined their protest, and I fully support them... yet I wasn't paid - by the lefties or anyone else. Here's something ya need to learn as ya grow up kid, not everyone lives in this "us vs them" world like you've been trained. Some just want whatever works best, regardless of party affiliation. And many think Trump's policies are dog-sh*t.

@peenie have you removed the bush in your front yard?

And shonuff

Uhm, yeah. Tim AND Squiz are the main reasons the politics forum was shut down. No lie.

Gay much?

The "Nazi" reference wasn't about mistreatment of Jews. They use it to describe a leader who acts like dictator. Odd you didn't understand that, because only a complete moron wouldn't.

President Donald Trump is doubling down on his controversial tariffs program and has called on Americans to "hang tough" amid stock market turmoil over the last few days. Trump, in a post on Truth Social Saturday morning, wrote that his plan is already working with trillions of dollars already being poured into the U.S. economy. "We are bringing back jobs and businesses like never before. Already, more than FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT, and rising fast! THIS IS AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION, AND WE WILL WIN," Trump wrote. "HANG TOUGH, it won’t be easy, but the end result will be historic," Trump wrote. "We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!" Trump wrote. Trump took aim at China after the communist country clapped back to Trump’s Liberation Day tariff announcement with a reciprocal 34% tariff on U.S. imports. "China has been hit much harder than the USA, not even close," Trump wrote. "They, and many other nations, have treated us unsustainably badly. We have been the dumb and helpless "whipping post," but not any longer." "China played it wrong, they panicked — the one thing they cannot afford to do," Trump wrote Friday on Truth Social.

It's crazy to me that these people don't give a sh*t about the Billions in waste and fraud and trade imbalances that Trump/Musk are trying to fix but just want to complain about all of it. They're actually OK with all this wasted money. We could do so much to make our country better if we had all the extra money these endeavors should yield. Woudln't it be better for all these politicians to work together instead of continuing to divide? Just blows my mind.

If Biden hadn't been such a sh*tshow and created all these emergencies, Trump wouldn't have had to declare them to try to fix them.

The scale of this is so massive. We won’t know the consequences for months, possibly years to come. Smoot-Hawley led directly to the economic instability that caused all the dictatorships in Europe, including the Third Reich. We are creating a similar economic instability, and poverty, not just in Europe but…frigging everywhere. We take the stability of certain nations for granted: Japan, South Korea, Western Europe, etc. what happens to those countries when we create 15% unemployment or higher? And we haven’t even discussed Latin America. What do you guys think the result of higher unemployment down there will be? Gee I’ll let you guess….

It’s in your best interest to keep them at a distance and only engage if you have to
