What I’ve gathered is he wants the same Republicans in charge who created forever wars, hollowed out the US manufacturing base, sat on their hands while Democrats took over US institutions and not just the education system, and also had zero answers for the illegal aliens, border security, drug trafficking, Latin American gang activity in the US, etc. Trump needs to be blamed for our deficit despite every other President in recent memory running significant deficits and Congress voting for debt ceiling raises with regularity...but it's all on Trump. Somehow it’s Trump’s/MAGA’s fault the Republicans will lose the mid-terms. Doesn’t the party in power tend to lose seats in the mid-terms? This doesn't seem like sound reasoning to me considering the pretend Republican he voted for and supported in Texas threw the Texas Republicans under the bus by endorsing the transgender children pushing, vegetarian fake meat eater DSA Democrat. Who needs Democrats when you have Republicans like Cornyn, Tillis and Massie? How does one complain about Republicans losing the midterms while going out and voting against Republican candidates?

Are we not currently fighting a war in the Middle East? The only thing that unites Tillis and Massie is skepticism of Trump. Separately, “forever wars” were largely designed to stop more 9/11s.

And yes, I think populism is stupid ideas packaged for stupid people. Populism isn’t attacking the deficit, but Paul Ryan did. I was for lower spending for 20 years, and most Rs agreed, and then Trump came.

Trump is better for you on immigration. He’s basically less conservative on everything else.

DOGE was KABUKI theater, a complete fraud.

While DOGE claims hundreds of billions in revenue savings, verified, realized savings are far smaller — likely in the single‑digit billions range for contract cancellations alone, and even less when factoring in legal reversals, disputed methodology, and the difference between “ceiling” and “actual” spending www.us-debt-clock.com www.us-debt-clock.com+1.
In other words, the confirmed revenue saved by DOGE cuts is a small fraction of the agency’s public totals, and independent reviews caution that the headline numbers are not reflective of actual fiscal impact.

Trump Admin Paid Federal Workers Nearly $10 Billion Not To Work In 2025​

One Democrat called Trump’s cuts to the federal workforce “the most expensive way imaginable to make government worse.”
The federal government paid employees nearly $10 billion not to work last year under cuts led by President Donald Trump’s infamous Department of Government Efficiency, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office.
The GAO found that $6.7 billion of that money was paid out under the Trump administration’s “deferred resignation” programs, which encouraged workers to quit under the promise they would remain on the federal payroll for several months.

You act as if he is unfortunately stuck with the consequences of the war due to no fault of his. He started the damn war for no good reason.
Also why are you so sure the Dems wouldn’t ever nominate Shapiro?
You need to study the results of radioactivity.

Guys, I know it hurts when someone points out that you participated in the destruction of something you purport to care about.

But you did exactly that. It’s just truth.

Enjoy November. Enjoy 2028. At least there’s still time to salvage the latter.
List what he has destroyed ?

Looks like the Texas senate race is heating up

I doubt it although FOX is doing their best. The drag Queen is old news. FOX today is hitting Telarico with being corrupt for some consulting fee he may or may not have been paid. FOX should be named as Paxon Campaign Chair.

The clip is from a recent campaign event. As the article says he has been involved with drag queens for a long time; here is their link from 2021 where he headlined a drag event.

Those stories are without effect. No one reading Amuse or the Free Beacon or watching Fox are voting for Telarico. Those that follow those sites/news, like you, will be voting for whomever Trump tells them to vote for.

The whack jobs on this site now believe the lone juror with any sense is the problem. The woman clears the deck (premeditated) so that she can murder HER three young kids and the hormonal types on this site including the lawyer believe the black MAGA juror is the problem. LOL.

That woman she put to death for her heinous act.

It is absolutely insane to believe that person didn’t know what she was doing. She is guilty as hell.

I am always amazed the level of certainty people have about a month long trial they weren’t in.

I tend to think, especially in criminal cases (where they aren’t particularly favorable to the defense), juries are pretty good.

Juries in 95% plus of criminal cases convict.

You’re a joke. It was funny because you’re a joke. Now you’re arguing that the joke wasn’t factual, which is also a joke.
So your trying to post a punch line about the actual current pricing at a big box store W of WP, but the store you mention is not within easy driving distance isn't a joke on you ?

I beg to differ.

My Presbyterian Minister Grandfather was first a Minister at what was a Church in Brooklyn that was part of the underground railroad before the Civil War.

He eventually moved to upstate NY which was where people with a touch of TB in those days were sent for "the cure".

This list is a pretty good start and it’s presented in a fun way even you can understand.


Have you been there ?

My Son, John would jog around that area and complain about the poor condition of the various monuments.

I haven't been to DC as a tourist since the Ford admin.

Spent some time researching what Trump has improved in DC, not just the crime rate !

A person with non TDS will be amazed.

Do you have a Diesel motor vehicle.

I used to have several Diesel motor vehicles, when diesel fuel was cheaper than regular gas in the 80's and 90's. But then various Federal rules came into being that priced diesel higher than regular gasoline.

I owned diesel VW Rabbits, Peugeots, Fords, Mercedes

Plus Trump requires voter ID so I can't vote 5 times. I wonder if the Dems have a better deal.
My current voting after moving from Florida has been NJ than NY, various districts.

Both States I had to confirm my Identity by having a poll worker confirm my signature on their record.

I was fine with that ID check.
