@johnbentlegs.bsky.social admits he is a lying sack of dogsh!t π€£
Keep on lying. That's all you're good for. π₯±π€
So you admit to lying by calling Trump a r@pist without proof. LOL
π₯±π€
TL:DR Likey fake AFπ₯±π€
Also the picture of Trump with a kid. FAKE and not among the thousands of real Epstein files the DOJ released in December 2025 or January 2026.
Try again little man.
And we'll send them to God's spam folder too.π€£

Prove it. π
If you got proof Trump did awful things to children by SAing them, that somehow the big news media don't have, please show it. π₯±π
New: DOJ Busts 11 Illegal Aliens in U-Visa Scam Using Fake Armed Heists #RedState
No no, I agree. Pretti was showing he isn't the pinnacle of cerebral stimulation, and lashes out like a wild hog at anything he disagrees with.
Anyone with enough neurons to make a fire with two sticks know bringing a deadly weapon to a hostile place while being hostile is asking for trouble.
That's exactly why American steel output jumped 3% in 2025 to 82 million tons, the first time we've beaten JApan in 26 years, & mills are restarting with new hires.
Thank the lord my orders are finally rebounding because of it. π
They are targeted, especially the 50% steel & aluminum tariffs (doubled in June 2025 under Section 232) & the heavy ones on China. Those are explicitly aimed at stopping dumping & protecting US. production.
That's enforcement of existing laws, not 'bigger government.'
The 73% 'no convictions' stat only looks at actual convictions (not pending charges). even the latest TRAC data in February 2026 shows basically the same split. Meanwhile, ICE arrests have doubled, detention is at record highs, & we're deporting criminals faster than before.
THat's exactly why the official DHS numbers I quoted say ~70% of arrests involve criminal charges or convictions. -
I did read the article (NOv 24, 2025 post using Oct 2025 book-in data, very early in the ramp-up)
Cato itself points out the key distinction in the piece: DHS and ICE count people with pending criminal charges as 'criminal arrests, even if they have no conviction yet.-
-I supply parts to new labor regs on independent contractors that slowed down their operations & all the extra paperwork burdens like beneficial ownership reporting. Those combined with high inflation really strained my machinery orders for a few years, that's the squeeze I actually lived through.π€
As for the regulations: I'm talking about the Inflation Reduction Act's $80 billion extra for IRS audits (which hit small businesses & pass throughs hard), EPA emissions & energy rules that drove up costs for the bigger manufacturers -
Yeah, tariffs add some short-term pressure on imported stuff like steel and parts, but they're also protecting U.S. manufacturing jobs and bringing in extra revenue. THat's the trade off for long-term strength instead of just kicking the can down the road. π΅
Inflation was high under Biden, it peaked at 9.1% in 2022 and stayed painful for years. It's now down to just 2.4% as of February 2026 (flat from January), even with the new tariffs rolling out.
And no, increasing ICE agents & budget to actually enforce the immigration laws Congress already passed isn't 'bigger government.' That's the opposite of what we had under Biden when enforcement was gutted. We're finally doing the job, arrests have doubled, and criminals are being deported faster.
No, that's not completely incorrect, the Cato link is from November 2025 (old data from the very start of the ramp-up) and only counts convictions in current detainees (not arrests).
Now the cuts are finally permanent under Trump and relief is rolling out. Federal tax collections are still up 11% year-to-date per Treasury data, not crashing as you claimed.
I hope this clears up a few things for you to understand.
On top of that, inflation and regulations slowed down the bigger manufacturers I supply parts for, my custom machinery orders dropped sharply and it strained my shop. That's the 'higher taxes' squeeze I actually lived through.
What Biden did pass was the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. That added real new taxes: a 15% corporate minimum tax on big companies, a 1% stock buyback tax, and $80 billion extra for the IRS to ramp up audits (which hit small businesses and pass throughs hard).
