I think the GOP has a very good chance to wipe the floor in the mid-terms. They are working the narrative that the world wide inflation and world wide high gas prices are the democrats fault. I am sure plenty of people know which policies could halt all of that. i have no idea what you mean. inflation in Spain is pretty much the same as the US. is Spanish inflation Biden's fault too? i really don't get the assertion being made. but i do get that the GOP is loving the inflation. which is kinda perverse. don't you think? I do, I often wonder, with all things being the same, but Trump had been elected, what his message would be.

Does not have to be just here in the states.

I almost used cynical. But I see it as blame is easy to assign, harder to justify, and too often people can't offer concrete actions that can be taken to solve a situation.

Can’t wait for the next government shutdown. The prior ones were so popular

Does that study take into account Marjorie Greene might not be allowed to run for office again because she’s a fucking traitor?

The only traitor I see is the one whose ass crack you have your nose buried up into. But please, if you have any factual truths that show any of the squad to be traitors please show out for discussion. The only look-aid I see here is the powder yo snorted that propelled you into a sick fealty for coup d’etat Don.

There are quite a few Trump supporters both in Congress and out who are also traitorous in most things they do.

Just trying to dumb it down, for he struggles so with acknowledging Trump’s culpability in all things coup.

The idea that the economy was so much better under trump is laughable. Just goes to show how misinformed and ignorant most republicans are. Just like trump, they are fact challenged

The idea that the economy was so much better under trump is laughable. Just goes to show how misinformed and ignorant most republicans are. Just like trump, they are fact challenged I remember how they bitched continuously about how horrible the economy was under Obama, ignoring the financial cliff Obama inherited from Bush and gradually dragged us back from. Then a month into Trumps term that very same economy became the best economy we ever had, up until Biden took over, at which point it became the end of the world again. GOP no longer has a platform, they just fixate on the memes they think will get them elected. Reality isn’t a thing for them. The economy is the worst in 200 years, the child molesters are writing children’s books to groom kids for abuse, all Dems are demons, and schools are making white kids feel bad through critical race theory. And the libs want to make us communist, which is weird because the only friends Putin has in this country are in the GOP party.

Just like trump, they are fact challenged i base my facts on personal experience. I received higher pay raises under Trump than Obama. I haven't seen a pay raise under Biden. Lets not even mention the gas prices. from Obama to Trump to Biden.

Lets not even mention the gas prices. from Obama to Trump to Biden. Unemployment rate is 3.9%. Inflation and gas prices are up worldwide due to a myriad of factors. Wage gains have been higher overall despite your personal circumstances. Jobs report continues to outpace job gains under trump. What exactly did trump do that made the economy wonderful? And do we give Obama credit for having good results that trump walked into?

Based upon your post, it seems you took another refresher course at the SpaceCoast School of hyperbole. And what's it like being a confirmed follower of Republican Jesus?

I don't keep track of any of them, but I guess they are still an obsession in the news you consume? I don't always agree with Rep. Omar, but I understand why she recently made comments on the airplane video. I do not get why the media reports it as two people singing when you can clearly see more people than that singing with the guitarist and its audible too in the video.

OT, but has anyone noticed how the shared Judeo-Christian heritage talking point has disappeared to be replaced by Christian? I'm still sad and disappointed that Christian is used not to denote faith, but social political talking points such as hatred of gays and criminalizing abortion. Only the former being in any way biblical.

Yeah, I don't want to listen to a bunch of people singing on a plane when I am travelling. I went to church with my Mom on Sunday and I was reminded of just how bad my own voice is. It's not like those people are professional singers. They can sing in their church. Don't disturb people on a plane. The last time I flew our flight was a red eye, and many people were sleeping. They need to be respectful of the others around them. They seem to think that because they are Christian they can do whatever they want whenever they want, and everyone around them should shut up and be happy about it.

If you've watched the video, I think the white guy's look sums up many people's opinions. I didn't ask for this, please go away.

I do not get why the media reports it as two people singing when you can clearly see more people than that singing with the guitarist and its audible too in the video. I live in a far right Trumplandia area and yesterday someone wrote a letter to the editor of our little local paper advising people to vote only for true patriots like MTG - because the Democrats are all demons who want to drive this country to communism and sexually abuse the children. Simply put, if you’re a pro Trump MAGA head you’re a true patriot, everyone else is not. Note that I’m speaking for my local MAGA minions and not speaking for Value. Used to be anyone who voted Democratic around here liked to kill babies, but since The Trump dumpster fire began, anyone who votes democrat is now apparently a horned monster loyal to the anti Christ. Bi partisan is an extinct word.
