Hammerskin Hank and the rest of you MAGAturds best get ready. It's gonna be a blood bath for ole Maggots! Well deserved. I just the Republican Party didn't evaporate into the ether . Turned into the party of Piggy!

No doubt, you'll be happy with all the liberals that win office.

what what is a "liberal'? I'm confused. Last I checked, I was a Reagan Republican, unfortunately, you magaturds how blown up everything and send us pragmatists packing to Independent. Pathetic. Don't give me the better than the alternative crap. I don't buy it. Don't freaking vote! I didn't. Hope you and your maggots enjoy what fat ass has done to our country. He is a pathetic excuse for a human and he's not very smart. Just ***** chasing Bronx con man. Enjoy, you weirdos.

I thought we dispelled the fiction that you are in any way conservative. You are no Reagan Republican. You've admitted you are socially liberal. Reagan was not socially liberal in the least.

You're a lot closer to AOC and Bernie than you are to Reagan. That being the case, it's no wonder you're such a drama queen about all things Trump, just like them. You have no policies on which you align with Trump.

good news is I don't need to justify anything to you and anyone else.

Forgone conclusion that the Dems will regain control of the House.

Suspect Trump has realized this since Day One.

At the rate Trumps stormtrooprs are killing probable democrates I would say the Repubs chances get a little better everyday.


Trump would be more effective in killing your associates by legalizing fentanyl, LSD , meth, speed, cocaine and heroin.

Your dream legislation would result in enough overdoses to give the Republicans an additional 25 house seats.


I have no assiciates in the drug trade. It took several years to realize prohibition only created mobsters and made ordinary people criminals. Alcohol kills more Americans than all the illegal drugs you named put together. Fentanyl doesnt come to America through Venezuela. Trump was just looking for a way to get at oil.


You sure want meth, heroin , LSD and fentanyl to be legal and more accessible. The fact that these drugs are far more toxic than alcohol means nothing to you.

The fact that overdoses would increase dramatically means nothing to you.


Glad you live overseas. Are those drugs legal in your new country.



he is correct. Alcohol kills much more folks than illicit drugs. I find it curious that we are going around the world with the pretense stopping drugs. The REAL problem is the US demand. No demand, no product. We can blame ourselves.

I love how because thing one kills many people, but not as many as thing two, curtailing the use of thing one is unimportant. And one other thing. Why was there no demand for fentanyl in my youth?

if people weren't buying and using, there would be NO market. No clue on Fentanyl, it was't around during my days either. we just had, booze, X, Coke, Crank, ect. No problem with US grown weed.

Heroin and opioid law enforcement has intensified in the last couple of decades, causing dealers to switch to fentanyl as a cheaper, more easily smuggled alternative. The surge in overdose deaths was an indirect but entirely foreseeable result of the drug war.

Illicit drugs are far more toxic than alcohol. No one disputes this.

Make these drugs more available by declaring them legal.......overdoses will skyrocket.

Cases of drug induced brain damage....will increase.

Mental illness.....homelessness.....will increase.


I recall having this discussion with one of our clients at the homeless shelter. ( he was high so we wouldn't permit him to sleep there )

He wanted all drugs to be legal.....agreed the damage would be huge.......but ' cancer kills more people '.

So feel free to use his logic.

The world in 1980 and 1984 was radically different than it is today.

No doubt that he was a great president, but even he had his faults (the Amnesty for Illegals deal he made and the legalization of corporate stock buybacks in 1982 that allowed c-suites to short circuit the market's mechanism for price discovery of public corporations).

Also no doubt that 12 years of Bushes + 8 years of Obama + 8 years of Clinton + 4 years of Biden pretty much allowed advancement of Democrat governance with no serious opposition except for the effort mounted by Newt Gingrich when he was speaker. By the way, he was probably the only effective speaker we've had when it came to advancing Republican policy.

America is in a much worse place today than it was in 1980 when Regan pulled us back from the brink and the GOP - promoting Bushes, Dole, Romney, and McCain for president - has been part of that problem.

Donald Trump is president because of that original field of 17 GOP candidates in 2016, he was the only one to champion an America first agenda. I like Rand Paul, but libertarianism cannot effectively combat the authoritarian socialism of the left. Austrian economics cannot fight off threats to the country posed by a political party that wants to import millions of violent gang members and foreign workers to replace legacy Americans. Free trade policies cannot secure the future of your country when it transfers the production of most of your medications to a geopolitical rival.

There was no demand for fentanyl back in the day because it didn't yet exist. No supply, no demand. Ergo, keep interdicting, by whatever means, as many drug shipments as humanly possible.

Truer words were never spoken.

All the Democrats need to do is find just ONE sane, left of center candidate not infected by all the crazy culture
$ h ! t and they could easily take back the Presidency in 2028.

Does this person exist in the Democrat Party? I think Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is the closest thing I see but I believe his Jewish faith will be his undoing. The anti-Semitism in our country is shocking and spreading like cancer. It is running rampant on both ends of the political spectrum.

My point is that no one today is Reagan, and the memory of Reagan ignores his own mistakes.

That happens in hero worship, and I say that knowing Ronald Reagan was our best President of the 20th Century.

We are in a different world where media not only has tremendous influence but picked a side long ago. The media people who Reagan could shame have since abandoned shame, so Reagan's tact and courtesy are not effective today as they were in his day.

Democrats have also changed. There were Democrats of good conscience in Reagan's day, and he built good relationships with many of them. Trump has always been viciously attacked by Democrats, even when he says things which they themselves said in the past.

Add to that Trump's experience in Real Estate, where he learned to be a shark because anything else gets eaten by the sharks, and a lot of what we see now makes sense.

I do wish Trump controlled his words better, and I wish he let his team handle some of the sparring. But comparing anyone to Reagan is mythology, not logic.

Yeah, back then. Today Reagan would literally be called all the same things they call Trump.

Suspect Trump has realized this since Day One.

Have said so here many times. History instructs that the 2026 mid-terms were lost the day he was sworn in. The only question is, can the GOP manage to avoid it. So far, the answer is....maybe. They're not in bad shape at all. As the economy improves and Trump starts to engage in campaigning.....the numbers could get better than they are today.

The below is an example. If the election turns on these numbers, GOP likely retains House by a narrow margin. This is a poll by NBC, mind you. No MAGA cheerleaders there....

Republicans are in horrible shape.

And Trump probably knew from Day One these necessary economic changes were going to cause political damage in the short term.

I admire his willingness to do the right things even at the risk of unpopularity.

That is real leadership.

yes. Unlike GOP moderates, he actually tries to do what he was elected to do....to get as much accomplished while in power as possible. that's what wise leaders do.

He knows the history on what happens in the mid-terms to the party holding the WH = loss of one or more houses of Congress. Moderates typically try to avoid that risk by simply not doing anything. And they still incur the historical result. Trump tried to cram as much of his agenda thru as he could, as soon as he could. That at least gives him a fighting chance to get the economy turned around enough to defy history and retain one or more houses of Congress
