Hunger problem?

I'm being entirely serious when I say that while I don't agree with a lot of what you say, that is entirely irrelevant to my comments about your inability to think. I considered Luciom's opinions far more dangerous and hateful than yours but I could still tell and admit that he was a generally intelligent person despite disagreeing with him about almost literally everything. Yo

No your memory is fine. What your saying is if you go back 6-7 years I was a Liberal and than it was all good. What Changed a leader called Justin Trudeau that pushed me back to the right.

Oh just so you know its spelled maybe not myabe

Lucion spent hours and hours on his posts sadly I do not have the time

Sell an aircraft carrier to china to fund snap. Maybe cancel order on a few stealth bombers.

We gave Ukraine over $60B in 2024.

Stop all aid to Ukraine at once so we can fund SNAP for at least six months.

ZERO foreign aid until Congress approves a balance budget.

Y'all will thank me later.

1. Gave Ukraine $60b in a biden year to hold off russia a little while longer

2. Gave Argentina $40b in a trump year as a bailout to pretend Leon’s wet dream works

3. Focus on the Ukraine thing

4. Ignore the Argentina thing

5. ?????????

6. MAGA

Somehow you missed the most important sentence in my post:

ZERO foreign aid until Congress approves a balanced budget.

And I'm no longer MAGA, and haven't been for a while.

Have fun finding a recent pro-Trump post from me.

Denigrating folks who disagree with him

Wait a minute, all those things were what MAGA was campaigned on, wtf ?

It's rather fascinating to try and investigate what truly lurks inside of us humans.

It occurs to me that many people simply can not cope with the truth of their own motivations.

My hypothesis is that we are largely tribal zombies. We support our political tribe the way we support our favorite NFL team. That tribal affiliation transcends any philosophically logical foundation.

I agree that most people act that way.

Luckily, I don't support any sports teams and have no interest in who wins or loses any athletic competition.
Seeing so many who do has made a strong contribution to my ideas about the low intelligence of the vast majority of humans.

Trump wants to do this like it had been done on Federal Judge appointees and supreme court nominees but its a line the GOP does not want to cross as they know when the Dems get in power they will use it as well .
Will we ever see a party get 60 seats I doubt it with all the gerry mandering going on

They should realize that Democrats are going to nuke it the next time they can do so regardless. Or at least I hope they will.

If the senate really wants to keep the filibuster, they need to return to the way it was done for most of US history. Debate will stay open, as long as the senate is actually debating.
Which means that someone has to stay in the senate chamber actively arguing the issue.

Huh???

Trump campaigned on RELEASING the Epstein files. Are you even paying attention?

Trump campaigned on 'America First.' Turns out he's a toady for Israel just like all the other bought-and-paid-for politicians.

I don't recall Trump campaigning on effectively conjoining ICE and the National Guard. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.

I changed my mind about tariffs. That's not Trump's fault obv.


Well ..... the Trump Administration is going to court in order to try and deny SNAP benefits to needy Americans.

He's literally the antichrist. Jesus tried to feed the poor. Trump tries to starve them.

One wonders how Christians support this guy.

This is hilarious.

The only thing on that list that is different is Epstein. Everything else on that list you should have known based on Trump's first term, yet you still voted for him another two times after his disastrous first term, lmao.

You wanted massive deportations despite knowing how aggressive and intrusive they are; therefore, you can't complain about the methods he's using for something you wanted.

Yes, this is pretty startling but not unexpected, as he wants civil unrest so he's doing his best to manufacture it.

I get the general sentiment, but it's not at all surprising how a sect of people who blindly worship a man wind up blindly supporting a different man.

Mike Johnson is the epitome of the terrible person one can become once they have convinced themselves that they're a good person.

Cite please. Thanks.

I agree. That's one reason I don't like him no mo.

Well said. (Ofc, I never 'worshiped' Trump and never had a strong opinion about Johnson.)

No he was not. Jesus favored communalism along believers, which is quite different from communism.


SNAP has been reinstated for November, per a court order.


by geezerchess

Dude, that was his main campaign agenda - to round up thousands and thousands of undocumented people per day. I'm not going to keyword search your history for the smoking gun, though.

by geezerchess

So you're saying the dude who instigated thousands to storm the US Capitol Building to hang a sitting vice president and refused to call in the National Guard to stop them was not going to do the same kind of chit again once president?

Come on... if Bannon and crew are able to get him on 2028, you'd vote for him again. But hey, you probably have too much class to write his name in, but you're not above filling in ovals, lol.

Let me paste my quote with some added helpers since I obfuscated my point by bringing in Johnson:

I get the general sentiment, but it's not at all surprising how a sect of people who blindly worship a man (Jesus) wind up blindly supporting a different man (Trump).

by geezerchess

No he was not. Jesus favored communalism along believers, which is quite different from communism.

Yeah, bro, that's called communism back in Jesus' day.

I've always supported securing the border and deporting illegal aliens, but not achieving that by draconian means like ICE raiding businesses.

I even said at the time (on Unstuck I believe) that there was no practical way to deport ten million illegal aliens.

So you're saying the dude who instigated thousands to storm the US Capitol Building to hang a sitting vice president and refused to call in the National Guard to stop them was not going to do the same kind of chit again once president?

I thought (hoped) that Trump had learned something during his four-year hiatus. Just call me [strike]naive[/strike] stupid.

Come on... if Bannon and crew are able to get him on 2028, you'd vote for him again. But hey, you probably have too much class to write his name in, but you're not above filling in ovals, lol.

I suspect I won't vote in 2028 if Trump is the GOP candidate. The only Presidential election I ever sat out was 2008 (Obama vs. McCain).

Yeah, bro, that's called communism back in Jesus' day.

Huge difference between voluntarily (Communalism) and compulsory (Communism).
