My own impression is that 1) parts of Chicago, like most big cities, has a crime problem and it occasionally spills over into other parts of the City, causing citizens to rightfully be concerned; and 2) Trump is using that as an excuse to further exploit his base into supporting "we are just fighting crime" to justify harsh treatment of predominantly black neighborhoods.

water carrier here.....Biden Adm GAVE about 11 billion to Intel with part coming from Chips Act passed by Biden. Money goes to Intel from Biden with taxpayer getting nothing in return out of this give away. Trump at least redirected how the money will be used where taxpayer will have some common stock value on the Biden give away. I think the 11 billion represents about a 10% stake in Intel.

let's think...how many billions did Obama and Biden give to "green" or woke companies that soon went bankrupt/out of business enriching leftists owners?


(AI Google):

Obama administration bankruptcies
The most well-known example of a failed green energy company is Solyndra, a solar panel manufacturer that went bankrupt in 2011.
  • Solyndra: A solar panel manufacturer, Solyndra received a $535 million federal loan guarantee and filed for bankruptcy in 2011, putting more than 1,000 people out of work. The government (taxpayers) took a $528 million loss.
  • Abound Solar: This solar panel maker received a $400 million loan guarantee but filed for bankruptcy in 2012. Taxpayers lost between $40 million and $60 million from the roughly $70 million the company had drawn down.
  • Fisker Automotive: This electric car company received a $529 million loan guarantee but only drew down $193 million before filing for bankruptcy in 2013. The government sold the debt for a much smaller amount.
  • A123 Systems: A manufacturer of defective electric car batteries, A123 Systems received $132 million in DOE loan guarantees before going bankrupt in 2013
Biden administration loan issues
Under the Biden administration, the DOE's Loan Programs Office (LPO) has expanded significantly due to the Inflation Reduction Act. While there have been no high-profile bankruptcies on the scale of Solyndra yet, some projects have been cancelled, leading to taxpayer losses.
  • Grain Belt Express: The DOE terminated a conditional commitment for a $4.9 billion loan guarantee for this clean energy transmission line project in July 2025, with officials citing that the necessary conditions were unlikely to be met.
  • Cancelled clean energy grants: In May 2025, the DOE terminated 24 awards totaling $3.7 billion in taxpayer-funded assistance for projects under the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations. A review found that the projects were not economically viabl

Govt needs to stay out of this. Doubling down on the CHIPS Act ClusterF isnt the way to go. IRA was a shitshow too but irrelevant here.Especially for a dinosaur like Intel....

You aren't drawing any distinctions. The allegation of mortgage fraud is coming from a Trump lackey. No charges have been brought (though one would think given the circumstances, they soon will be, just for political cover for Trump et al).

Point is this:

1) If the allegations are true, she should resign, on her own accord.

2) If she is charged and there is anything to it at all such that it would distract from her duties or undermine the institution, she should resign on her own accord.

But Trump purporting to fire her for cause, based on allegations by a Trump political operative of financial fraud by her, is just too thin. Especially in context of Trump's other efforts to gain control of the Fed. And especially since Trump has actually been found guilty of financial fraud.

Was funny, Howard Lutnick was on CNBC this morning going on and on defending this based on how any person who has committed financial fraud should not be allowed to serve in any capacity in the federal government. No one asked him the obvious question about good for the goose, good for the gander, which was a shame.

My understanding is the lackey has produced papers with actual signatures...all signature matching.....



Were charges brought against Kaplan, Rosengren or Clarida for suspicious trades? They all resigned over "suspicions" as there are suspicions over MTG fraud..and signed papers.

"Dink, what a dumb ****ing expression. Did you get hit with a baseball bat? Please tell me you're asking on behalf of someone else. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Yikes. I guess the new 5.0 update is less forgiving.

How isn't this essentially a bailout? Intel is struggling mightily to keep up with its peers. Its losing the AI race.

Why not just go through subsidies with the horses that are winning the race?

The CHIPS Act that Biden passed was a bailout to Intel and so is this. Intel is so far behind its peers and yet, this is the company we choose to invest in...

You are missing the larger point, which is that Trump did far worse. And was convicted of it.

Attacking a flag representing a social group =/= protesting our sh*t government.

I disagree that it should be a hate crime, but don't try to remotely equate the two, especially when you so easily label every single person in the LGBTQ community as mentally disturbed.

It's a deeply emotionally driven opinion for you, obviously. You should take that into consideration.

Not really. It is more forum banter than anything. I couldn't care less about the gay community except when they want special privilege, then they can go **** themselves.

This is why “hate crime” is the most slippery of slopes. I’ve found several examples where people have been charged, but usually is tied to stealing someone else’s property or damaging adjacent property, i.e. fire. Sounds like if you buy a flag, burn it in your fire pit, you’re fine. Do it in front of a gay nightclub, school, etc., then you can have a hate crime charge tacked on. To that point, the same should stand for burning an Israeli flag, American flag, Palestinian flag or any other flag that represents a cross section of people in public around other persons, buildings, etc. I think you’re correct that it’s not applied evenly, although I haven’t looked up instances of people being charged with hate crimes for burning the flags I’ve mentioned.

Yeah, because billions and billions and billions to the Immigrant Detention Industrial Complex is so much better than giving it to people who actually produce **** with economic value.

How about don't do any of this stupid **** and stop comparing yourself to who you think was the worst president of all-time. How about we try comparing Trump to Ronald Reagan, or someone halfway ****ing decent?

Stop settling for the bottom of the barrel. You don't even have someone with an ounce of conservative principles in the WH. To own the libs, you elected a socialist authoritarian.

the money Trump spends on getting illegals out will save even more billions in welfare checks and human life now and down the road to taxpayers

So was it ok in the chips and save act under Biden that so much taxpayer money went to Intel. If the USA owning a part of it now is it bad for the USA to make money back from Intel if they can?

I think I was pretty clear. If they want to do what they do in the privacy of their own home, have at it.

I. don't. care.

If I have to adjust my life to accommodate them in some way, I have a problem with that.

Literally no one here is saying the CHIPS act was a good thing except for the people defending Trump essentially doubling down on it.

You are caking yourselves in clown makeup.

Oh I was kidding there, making fun of AppVol's sub-2nd grade grasp on his native language.

Though you can say you don't care, but you're still throwing your 2 cents. No one brought up the pride flag until you did.

Like it or not, it is without any doubt that you are emotionally invested in your opinion, and that's normal.
