DuPage Illinois. Centrist. Someone without a sense of humor will be condemning your post soon. #Libertarian

@SenatorDurbin In Illinois my adult children, who have been registered to vote in other states for over a decade, still received unsolicited absentee ballots. You really think that Illinois Democrats don’t cheat in elections?

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

@TrumpsHurricane I think this is hilarious. But to be true the white guy should be balding!

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

2/2 The beauty of a republic is Checks and balances. The house and the senate. The executive, congress, and judiciary. This allows a minority (Ds) to say to the majority (Rs) we have a point.
Our republic is not a democracy where 6 wolves and 4 sheep vote on what is for dinner.

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

1/2 I dislike failures of integrity. @chicagotribune blames Trump for the shutdown. It takes 15 paragraphs to get to the point that the Senate has to pass the bill, and that senators are in negotiation.

@RepThomasMassie Me: cut 30%

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

@SenatorDurbin We are approaching $38Trillion in federal debt. Illinois is $160 billion in debt. STOP SPENDING our money and our future

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

@ewarren Why is the blame on the Republicans when the Democrats are the only ones voting for the shutdown?

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

@beinlibertarian That Illinois toll roads would become freeways after the initial bonds were paid off

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

@SenatorDurbin Where were you when it was the Biden DOJ and Democrat AGs going after Republicans.

Both are wrong and you were complicit.

@SenDuckworth @SenDuckworth is misrepresenting the (house-passed) CR with 6week funding extensions adding $5-7M in preserved funding for rural hospitals, per Am Hospital Assoc estimates. W/O CR, rural facilities could face 10–20% revenue drops, among ~1,800 U.S. rural hospitals (per KFF data)

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

@SaveAmericaNew More! Cut more employees, contractors, and vendors at the Department of Education.

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

The Democrats say that cutting #taxes is for "the rich": Of the Forbes top 200 Billionaires, ChatGPT said that 39 (20%) were right leaning, 31 (16%) left. Why shouldn't we think that trimming the budget is the right thing to do? #FiscalResponsibility

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

@SenDuckworth Forbes top 200 billionaires:
39R, 31 D, 17 centrist, 113 unclassified.
Rs = 20%
Ds =16%
Trump is doing this to ≈ both parties' large donors.
This doesn't really pass the believability test.

🚨BREAKING: Ford CEO SHOCKS markets - backs Trump's tariffs & drops MASSIVE news about "employee pricing"

Let me break this down for you...🧵

An important element of #China's strategy is "a system of high #tariffs, gaining direct control ... designed to build up a nation's monetary reserves." - The Hundred-Year Marathon by Michael Pillsbury, 2016. page 39

@SenatorSlotkin @SenatorDurbin @SenDuckworth
I 100% support the efforts of @DOGE to trim federal spending. Drastic measures are required to get spending under income. We are way too far in debt.

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

@JBPritzker Maybe @Doge has some more 20 year old data scientists who can review Illinois spending?

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

@JBPritzker Most of my city government is also volunteers. A very good thing. I would rather have a volunteer look at the books than a corrupt auditor who needs another contract to feed his bank acct.

[BernardoOReilly @BernardoOReill2]

@SenDuckworth No. They are doing the job you should have been doing @SenDuckworth. Congress is supposed to control spending. Too much spending. Time for drastic measures and if that is from a govt volunteer then so much better. Keep going @elonmusk @DOGE
