Seems like you've moved on; miss your posts. Always thought provoking, sometimes humorous.

Why aren't all 52 Republican Senators calling out Leader Thune for not allowing President Trump to make recess appointments? @SenateGOP

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

Everything about the Left is fake.

Once you understand it, everything makes sense.

>Eat the rich... from your mansion
>Save the planet... from your private jet
>Everyone is racist... while you fund the racism.
>Billionaires are evil... unless you fund our candidates.
>Words are violence... but my violence is actually speech

>Wrong pronouns are assault... but burning a courthouse in a protest is mostly peaceful

>We love immigrants... unless you send them to Martha's Vineyard then we call ICE too

>Democracy is sacred... unless we lose, then it was stolen by Russia, misinformation, or Elon

>Diversity is our strength... unless you're a Black conservative, then you're a race traitor who needs to be destroyed

>Tax the wealthy... while your foundation, your trust, and your three LLCs are structured specifically to avoid paying a dime of it

>Capitalism is oppression... posted from an iPhone, on a platform worth a trillion dollars, while wearing merch sold through the your merch store linked in your bio

It's all fake, it's all performative and should be endlessly mocked into oblivion.

Give them zero comfort.

The doctrine is always designed so the cost lands on someone else.

The cashier pays for your protest. The suburban parents pays for your sanctuary city. The trade school kid pays for your student loan forgiveness. The taxpayer pays for your foundation's tax shelter. The working mom pays for your gas stove ban. The factory town pays for your Green New Deal. The girl on the swim team pays for your pronouns. The cop's widow pays for your bail reform.

It's a massive, evil, cost-transfer operation that pretends the evil they are pushing, is moral.

...and it's just evil

I see Democrats showing up in droves at ICE facilities, loudly demanding better treatment for those inside. Yet I’ve never once seen a Democrat visit a VA hospital to check on our wounded veterans and their care. That tells me everything I need to know.

[TMK @themagaking]

Dear Republican Senators,

If all you do is post on X about wanting to pass the SAVE Act, while refusing to use the legislative tools necessary to actually get it done, then you do not truly want it passed.

You are just talking.

So if leadership is standing in the way, then replace the leadership.

Otherwise, stop insulting the intelligence of the American people. We can see through the lies.

[Sassafrass84 @Sassafrass_84]

Let me say it loud for the retards in the back who keep rewriting history:

President Trump was advised to lock the country down for two weeks to slow the curve. He listened. Republican-led states reopened and got back to work. Democrat-led states stayed shut down for over a year.
Trump repeatedly pleaded with those blue-state governors to reopen their economies. They refused. Their goal was clear: tank the Trump economy so they could blame him for the damage. Millions lost jobs and livelihoods because of it.

Democrat governors chose to send sick COVID patients into nursing homes — a decision that killed thousands of our elderly. That was their choice, not Trump’s.
They lectured him: “Don’t tell me how to run my state, Trump! Don’t overstep your authority!” While encouraging people to snitch on their neighbors for not following the rules.

Operation Warp Speed happened under President Trump. The vaccines were developed a few years prior. Democrats originally scoffed: “I’m not taking a Trump vaccine.”

Then Biden and Democrats stole the election, forced vaccine mandates, and suddenly, it was “safe and effective” — take it or lose your job. Blue states cheered and reopened.

Don’t twist the history. Those of us who lived through 2020-2024 remember exactly what happened.

@catturd2 No they do not...

@harryjsisson Brother...

This is an actual district in Chicago.

[C3 @C_3C_3]

GOP Senate is using…

Zombie Filibuster to stop POTUS Trump from securing elections.

Blue Slip tradition to stop POTUS Trump from filling judicial positions.

Pro Forma sessions to stop POTUS Trump from making recess appointments.

Denying their constituents.

It’s Treasonous.

[Carol Roth @caroljsroth]

@SenWarren @JetBlue @SpiritAirlines @JusticeATR @USDOT Always wrong and never in doubt.

[Paladin @BLT303]

@GuntherEagleman They're not hypocrites, because they don't believe half of what they say. They are just willing to spew any talking point that will get them what they want, even when they're the exact opposite of their position from a few minutes ago.

[Kareem Aweet @keefer1536]

@JonathanCohn Funny how the survival of Democracy is tied to liberals getting what they want.

[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

You notice not one of these noble Democrats is also calling for Swalwell to resign from Congress. This is about the California governor’s race. They don’t want Democrat candidates splitting the votes in the primary because of California’s weird ranked voting scheme.

[Left Handed Righty @bgovern]

@Pro__Trading The fact that they are only calling for him to drop out of the governor's race and not give up his seat in Congress tells you everything you need to know about what's happening.

[Sassy Devil Dog 🔥 @VinoNStrosGal]

We’re being told this country is broken beyond repair.

And then this happens.

An American Olympic gold medalist, bloodied and grinning, wrapped in the Stars and Stripes, after decades of waiting, sacrifice, and belief, reminding the world what it looks like when America rises again. 🇺🇸

Two kids on a quiet sidewalk, watching Artemis II tear through the sky, like history reaching forward and backward at once, reminding us we are still the nation that dares to go farther. 🚀

And an American Air Force colonel, shot down over enemy territory, alone in the mountains of Iran for 48 hours, hunted, wounded, waiting,

And America came for him anyway.

Through the dark.
Through the risk.
Through the fire.

Because we don’t leave our own.

Same year. Same country.

Not spin. Not noise.
This is real.

They can keep selling division.
They can keep feeding the noise.

But this?
This is different.

This is who we are when it matters.

Not perfect. Not polished.
But still capable of courage.
Still capable of wonder.
Still capable of loyalty.

The darkness is loud right now.

But the light?

The light doesn’t ask permission.

It just shows up.

GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸❤️
HAPPY EASTER 💜

I’m detecting a real — what is it? — sense of disappointment this morning that the U.S. search and rescue mission succeeded.

Sorry for your loss.

[Cynthia Holt @Ghostofcynthia]

A word to the wise:

Democrats will gladly trade your life for a vote from an illegal alien.

These treasonous pieces of shit don't give a single fuck about American citizens.

They're more than happy to let you bleed out if it means securing one more ballot from someone who shouldn't even be here.

Remember that when you go to vote.

@EndWokeness I always murder people who startle me. Totally understandable.
