I have been saying it for months and months but the Republicans are going to get trounced in November. People are voting with their wallets not their 401s. The economy sucks unless you are already rich and getting richer off the high prices.

And Trump will blame everyone but himself.

Then we will get 2 years of him crying on social media because he can't get anything done and the Dems will try to impeach him every other month. So nothing will get done at any branch of government for 2 years.

On a plus side, hopefully the Dems trying to play lawfare against Trump will cause everyone to want to get rid of them and we can get a sane R back in the White House.

---

Sane R??? There are none left. They are now all Independents or out of politics. Trump did long term damage to the GOP. They brow beat all the rational people out. We may get an Independent.

---

There are plenty left. They just keep mostly quite right now. But that will change once Trump is lame duck. They will start to speak out against him.

Desantis is the first to come to mind.

---

We do not want DeSantis as President. Great job with COVID, good on the operations. Competent, intelligent and driven. But, Authoritarian and vindictive as hell.

You want one person in each Department having 100% power, he is the guy. If you want the checks and balances, no way.

Disagree. I think most of it is show. He would t be anywhere near as vindictive or spiteful as Trump.

I would bet that somewhere around age 40 and above most could name all 3. Below that the number that can name them would drop dramatically every 5 years. By 25 and below it is probably 3/4.

Same for going up. Go to the boomers and they are probably at 90% able to name them.

I agree with POTUS that several media outlets covering the WH are biased and unfair.

Banning them from the WH is not the solution. Open the pool and the briefing room to conservatives. Challenge liberal reporters. Argue and defeat them.

Don’t ban them.

Or one day they’ll ban…

Ari is right for the most part. I'd take a look at the press pool and see what news outlets are under common or cross ownership. Drop some of those and add others to diversify the pool.

The Dems have wanted socialized medicine for decades because they gain more power. They have been pushing for it at least since Truman and the late 1940s. Then there was Hillarycare, their next big push. Thank God we dodged that bullet. Obamacare is basically the same thing but they passed it anyone through their usual tactics: lying, cheating, stealing, back room deals, and unconstitutionality.

The insurance companies got into bed with the corrupt politicians and bureaucrats to create a huge unwieldy behemoth that was never going to succeed. It's impossible. And it was not meant to. It was designed to create a bigger mess they could use to call for "single payer" (Obama was saying that from the start) or "Medicare for all" and here we are.

The problem is that the more government controls anything, the more government destroy it. We must always remember that government is parasitic and does not create anything. It only destroys wealth, innovation, prosperity, success, and especially freedom. Socialized medicine, by whatever label (Marxists are very good at propaganda and we always have "useful idiots" who believe the lies), is all of this and more.

You have to get over this everything is a power move, you have been hanging around MAGA too long.


Cancer treatment is not a power move. Not being able to get a drug because you can't afford it is not a power move. My sister in law can ONLY get the pancreatic cancer meds as part of a study, if she is accepted, because it is too expensive. The great pancreatic cancer drugs the fake news reports, none of us common folk can't afford. Bet Jared and Ivanka can... And don't tell me it doesn't happen. I sat in the office with the oncologist.

My medication is up to $480 a month with insurance, not cancer med. While the CEO of the hospital make 2m a year. The ER is full because there is no option for them without insurance or a credit card. That is happening everyday, it is not "Fake News". That is private health care. Government has nothing to do with it, Insurance companies and peope like Sen. Rick Scott. Read up on him, the great conservative stalwart...

---

I have an antibiotic that is $3000 per bottle with Insurance. However, my concierge dr in the US can magically find a coupon for Free. Explain that to me.

---

Sorry, if my government is going to err in a direction of irresponsible spending, spending to make the lives of US citizens better is preferable to spending on blowing **** up or other Nations...

---

You don't feel like your life, or the lives of other American citizens, is better after the government spent trillions on tying to culturally reconstruct the Islamic world into Berkeley?

"The U.S. government has appropriated and spent an estimated $8 trillion on post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."

At least the Taliban is not running Afghanistan and girls are finally back in school learning about modern art.

---

You're not wrong about failed nation building attempts. But over the same period about $45 Trillion has been spent on SS/Medicare and Medicaid. And that's against about $27 Trillion collected for it. It's politically palatable to fix the first problem. It isn't palatable to fix the other.

"I am currently tasked with investigating the 55,000 vaccine adverse event reports filed on individuals identified as members of the U.S. Armed Forces, this includes 2544 deaths."

"I had one servicemember die of rapid onset and progression of esophageal cancer after COVID vaccination and one in which a student pilot who had never been COVID positive, who experienced sudden cardiac death at the controls of a helicopter during a training flight."

"I have first hand knowledge of over 29 deaths of service members after vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccines."

"While establishing definitive causation in every case is complex, the existence of these safety signals, combined with known risks such as myocarditis in young males, means that claims of vaccine-related harm cannot be dismissed as having no medical basis."
