WTF is even happening in the Senate? How many Senators besides Thune are nuking their careers just to protect the parliamentarian?
Tin-foil: I recall Brendan Herrera of all people mentioning politicians being pissy at the 2A crowd shortly after they didn't settle for the original $0 tax proposal.
How much of this is being done out of spite for their voter bases wanting actual action instead of hollow promises? Either way, at least it can be sued out of existence now (unless the courts argue some BS like the $0 tax is still a tax just one that costs nothing). I really hope Trump declares Total Rhino Death for the Senate, and Elon actually goes through primarying as many people as possible since their replacements will be extremists.

Thune isn't even running in 2026, he's retiring. He was chosen for the sole reason that Trump has zero leverage to replace him.
 
We're one of the only Capitalist industrialized countries that does not have public health care.
And that's a good thing. Have you taken any look at what's happening in Canada and the UK? The NHS is swamped with patients that they can't care for at a reasonable time, and Canada is recommending MAID to anybody they possibly can that's a burden to their healthcare system. MAID is already nearly 5% of all deaths in Leafistan. The Scandinavian countries that have the "best socialist healthcare" all for the most part have tax rates above 50%

Sure our healthcare system is shitty, but at least we don't get recommended MAID for broken bones and have to pay over 50% of our income to a retarded government that lets shitskins flood into the country.
 
I dunno but it seems the people most upset (at least in my social circle) are all spoiled white people who have had their parents gib them houses and shit while the people who are excited about the bill are all hard workers who have been forced to be on government gibs before.

I'm too lazy to think all that too deeply into it, but it's funny.
 
Insofar as a voter has any input, it's either red team or blue team.
Not really. Party caucuses have significant influence in the parties. Look at how the Progressive Caucus has taken over the Democrat Party in the last 30 years. They went from not existing in 1990, to having 77 seats in the House in 2010, to having 100 House seats in 2022. Look at how the Freedom Caucus holds up the GOP. It's easier to think of it in terms of Red vs. Blue, that is 100% true, but the details are far more complicated than that.
Hope this encourages more sobriety too!
That's a major problem, too. Lots of people soak up bennies because they're high and/or drunk all the time. How many cows have threads on the site who are addicts and collect government checks for nothing? It's not hard: get a job. Do community service. Do something other than sit around all day.

Everyone I know bitching about it are either leftist glitterati, trolls, or lazy. All the people who actually work are fine with it.
 
Nigga, your god is on the Epstein flight logs like Musk said.
>believing a word that Musk says while he's on ketamine, cocaine, whip its, and weed laced with the most obscure, diabolical drugs known to man, all at the same time

Sure thing. Just don't think about the fact that they could've released that supposed fact while Biden was in office. Trump is the most hated man on the planet by the deep state. If that kind of dirt existed it would be released in an instant.
 
Are you... not familiar with the times historically that central banking, fractional reserve systems, or debt... have nearly ruined countries? I'm not a fiscal conservative but you may want to look into those examples a bit. Sooner or later there is a chance it'll melt down. It nearly did in 2008 and again in 2019.
Nobody truly knows how it works. And by the time you think you have a handle on global finance, it changes. Again.

Imagine a giant crystal shattered into a hundred pieces. Someone finds a shard and says “I have the whole picture!” when really, nobody does.

I’m content to know it can never fully be known.
 
Yes, we know, from a flight between Florida and New York. He's not on the Lolita Express, this isn't news, it's been known about for almost a decade.

I'm sorry you need to defend pedophiles.

Yeah, it would be nice if Trump ordered the release of the Epstein files. Not sure why he isn't doing that. Hmm.
 
It's amazing that right wingers like you correctly see the deteriorating conditions in America and still simp for the pedophilic elite that did globalization.
Trump isn't a pedophile or pro-globalization. Do you really believe the Trump haters are hiding that he's a pedophile after all this time? If so, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.

The globohomo communists are the ones pushing infinite spending, tranny kids, pod buglife, and Maoist struggle sessions in every facet of life. The only exception would be the Curtis Yarvin libertarians who got mugged by reality and instead fell for the "we can make society better" trap that leftists sell. Trump is many things, but he believes that the US is still great and that makes him leagues better than the present alternatives. Everyone else just dooms and that is not productive.
