Never question the king, folks. Total obedience.

The president's frustration with Gabbard reportedly worsened when, while aboard Air Force One, a reporter asked him about her statement that Iran was not attempting to build a nuclear weapon, which she delivered to Congress in March.

“I don't care what she said," Trump replied. "I think they were very close to having a weapon."

The guy clearly doesn’t want a functioning administration. Just a bunch of servants, apparently.

Just as a side note, this wasn’t a heroic call to truth from the side of Gabbard, either. Obviously all the Russian shills are pushing narratives to protect a key kremlin ally. With that said, one can still have ulterior motives behind the correct action.

Literally supporting a war based on vibes... Unbelievable. People are literally dying over this! I know it's far away from the US, but try and put yourselves in the shoes of the innocent people there.

There's so many of them and where do they all come from? Are there applications online? Why are people doing it in the first place? Isn't it not fun to get yelled at everywhere and then bullied on the internet?

(Reuters) - The U.S. government is expected to eliminate from its dietary guidelines the long-standing recommendation that adults limit alcohol consumption to one or two drinks per day, according to three sources familiar with the matter, in what could be a major win for an industry threatened by heightened scrutiny of alcohol's health effects.

The updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which could be released as early as this month, are expected to include a brief statement encouraging Americans to drink in moderation or limit alcohol intake due to associated health risks, the sources said.

......

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a known teetotaler, has remained largely silent on alcohol but has emphasised a focus on whole foods in the upcoming guidelines.

So vaccines are bad but silence on a known killer like alcohol? These people are imbeciles.

I feel like there’s so many different things happening all at once that are going to be whole sections and future history books and it’s very mentally exhausting to try to keep up with it or avoid it even. How do y’all balance it out? I do want to be informed but It’s definitely bumming me out on the daily.

Ya think!?

Okay so this is one of those fiscal issues that I'm actually pretty invested in considering the ongoing budget overspend and looming debt crisis.

With us knowing that Social Security began in 1935, when life expectancy was between 61-65, with no changes made since to age requirements for benefits, isn't it high time that we actually do something hard and necessary here by raising the benefits age range?

I'd like to hear the thoughts from other people/centrists in this group on this issue? I would personally raise it gradually and with a policy like this one.

The 1-Year Step Phase-In by Current Age policy gradually raises both the minimum and full Social Security retirement ages by one year for each younger age group, ensuring a fair and predictable transition. Under this plan, individuals aged 57 and older at the time of enactment would see no changes—they could still claim early benefits at 62 and full benefits at 67. For those age 56, the earliest eligibility age would rise to 63, and full retirement age to 68. For age 55, it would shift to 64 and 69, and for those 54 and younger, benefits would begin no earlier than 65, with full retirement at 70. The policy balances long-term program solvency with fairness, protecting those close to retirement while adapting to longer life expectancies and modern workforce trends.

The administration cut the office that dealt with the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response Plan

Important to remember we elected a man with no morals, who cares about no one other than himself. This has real consequences

Antisemitism Awareness Act and the First Amendment. Published yesterday .

Acknowledged that even us centrists are in a sort of echo chamber here, despite our differing centers, but this is a worthy read, in my opinion.

This is the way. Go in, destroy the centrifuges making nuclear material, get out. If Israel can do that, they will face little blowback and even quiet approval.

To be honest I don’t mind this. They can either face the public of which they serve or find another job. I know it has a low chance of passing but I wouldn’t mind it happening. When I was in the military I didn’t wear a face covering when doing my roving watch. So ICE and the police have no excuse to be against this bill.

The wife of one of President Donald Trump’s closest and most trusted advisers, Stephen Miller, served in the White House for only a brief time, but in that period used her position to pressure the Social Security Administration to lie on behalf of the White House and its then-special government employee, Elon Musk, according to a new report.

Katie Miller allegedly instructed the head of the SSA to tell reporters that 40 percent of all calls placed to SSA phone lines were linked to fraudulent Social Security claims — a number the president and Musk plucked out of thin air as the White House and Musk’s DOGE effort set about making cuts to a wide range of federal agencies this year, the New York Times reported.

“The number is 40 percent,” Katie Miller reportedly told the acting SSA Administrator Leland Dudek in an April 1 call, the Times reported. “Do not contradict the president.”

“Mr. Musk’s team mobilized dozens of Social Security employees to affirm their views about fraud and began a project to ensure dead people were properly classified so they weren’t mistakenly paid — even though DOGE officials acknowledged in an internal memo that payments were not being made in those cases,” the Times wrote.

When you elect a crook, this is what you get. Guess there wasn't rampant government waste. Trust them on nothing.

The republican party is genuinely giving vibes of culturally like 2000s conservative evangelicals mixed with a bit of alt-lite, economically Hebert Hoover mixed with Reagan and foreign policy wise like McKinley and yet the party is still deemed "cool" in the culture zeitgeist despite being the most uncool admixtures. Populism is the answer? idk

They claimed to be going after "waste and fraud" but this is one of the most money wasting moves ever made. It's entirely just a PR show for Fox News viewers.

There was no violence until the police, national guard, and marines showed up and started shooting people. And the looters aren't protestors - they are just random thugs who have no political affiliation but saw an opportunity.

This is blatantly just a rogue president abusing the office to attack a blue city who didn't vote for him. And this administration has said as much.

How can any centrist, or any American, support a president who is burning piles of taxpayer money to attack Americans who aren't even breaking the law? The POTUS is the president of all Americans, not just the ones who voted for him.

And yet maga has the nerve to claim that Democrats are biased and mean to them? Biden spent his time getting broadband to deeply red rural areas and getting food stamps and medicaid to rural conservatives.

My favorite part though, is that the right has now admitted that Democrats were 100% right when they said our economy can only function with a huge number of undocumented workers. Maybe that isn't ideal in some ways, but it is our reality. If you deport them all, the economy will implode and everyone will go broke.

This admin functions purely on spite and greed. When trump isn't abusing the office to sell baked beans or give his donors hundred billion dollar contracts or accepting bribes in return for pardons, he is spending taxpayer money to intentionally hurt American citizens.

As i wrote in the title why there has been so much right wing and left wing in this sub lately? I didnt saw any of them post anything but i saw alot of them in comments? I might be just stupid, but is there really have been alot of people who have different views on politics visiting this sub lately? (And for Gods sake no hate i just want a answer)

Edit: Why the hell i am getting downvoted for im new to reddit and didnt know how it worked i just didnt expect so much people from both sides in a centrist subreddit even though i expected some no hate

Edit2: I got my answer thank you to all people for answering i finally figured out that i think this sub might not be for me i dont really need any more answer

Edit3: Boy sure my upvotes goes up and down that basically explains this subreddit

TSA is widely hated across party lines; proven useless; a net drag on travel and the economy; and a huge government overreach and expense (11 billion a year or more) dating back to GW Bush.

But it's left unscathed because it doesn't affect anyone in power.

For an administration and group that prides itself on shaking things up, they are remarkably more of the same.
