Posted this a few years ago, and reposting now since apparently we have to continuously detail our opposition to unconstitutional federal spending. I'm open to more items being crossed off this list โย this was just a first pass.
I watched all 138 minutes of Joe Rogan's interview with @calleymeans. Calley's logic is as follows (my comments are in parentheses):
1. President Trump and RFK Jr. are heroes, the best people on the planet.
2. They keep getting bamboozled by staffers who know the system better, are secretly working for industry, and are demons.
3. Trump and RFK Jr. are completely unaware of these machinations by staffers (in spite of the fact that the details are in the news every day and activists are explaining to them exactly what is going on).
4. When Trump and RFK Jr. find out after the fact that they have been betrayed they are furious (and then do nothing).
(At no point does Joe Rogan ever ask why these betrayals are not met with firings of the people involved.)
5. Trump and RFK Jr. care deeply about these issues but this pattern just keeps happening because this is a structural problem and there is nothing Trump and RFK Jr. can do so we'll just have to pass a Constitutional amendment some day to address the problem of lobbyists. (The details of this proposed Constitutional amendment are never described.)
That's the interview. 2 hours and 18 minutes of this logic over and over again.
Heidi Overton! Plots with the DOJ to get the Supreme Court to take the glyphosate case! Writes the Executive Order to protect Bayer/Monsanto! Trump and RFK Jr. didn't know! Her punishment? Nominated to be the head of the FDA.
What!???
And that's how you know the interview is a psyop.
In point of fact, Trump or RFK Jr. could pull the Covid shots tomorrow. Trump or RFK Jr. could have stopped the approval of the Moderna mRNA flu shot or flavored vapes but refused to use their legal authority to do so. Both men know EXACTLY what is happening but they do nothing because THEY are captured by industry.
The Informed Consent Action Network even sent a letter to @SecKennedy back in June listing twenty things he could do with the stroke of a pen (no Congressional approval or committee meetings necessary) to reform the vaccine program to make it safer and none of those reforms have happened.

Meanwhile the White House, HHS, and MAHA tell the base to shut up so that industry can continue to get away with murder and the money will keep rolling in.
I'm sick of the lies. I'm sick of the fact that the government is engaged in iatrogenocide and Calley Means thinks that the problem is soda pop. I'm sick of the endless psyops that keep the killing on schedule and the profits thick. I'm sick of pretenders who have not done the work. I'm sick of fake heroes who refuse to use their power to protect the citizenry.
Listen to the moms. Pull the shots. Shut down these vile agencies. We don't need a Constitutional amendment. Everything necessary to stop the chronic disease epidemics can be done right now by President Trump and Secretary Kennedy with the powers that they already have. No more excuses.
๐จ WOW! Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just dropped this truth nuke: "You take all the debt Florida's accumulated in its history, I've paid off 54% of it just in my tenure as governor!"
"We've reduced our budget 4 YEARS in a row! Inflation has been happening, population's been growing, our budget's LESS *TODAY* than it was four years ago"
"The size of government in Florida is SMALLER today than the day I took office."
"We have the smallest government per capita of any state in the United States."
"And what has that led to? More economic growth than any state this decade during my tenure as governor."
Florida is CRUSHING IT and thankfully held the line on Tuesday โ๏ธ
Sadly, Texas is about to go the opposite direction. They voted blue, and they will slowly begin looking more like California unless things change there, FAST
@BlazeTV@SteveDeaceShow Agree that everyone is tired of all the things. But the biggest rebuke? I'm old enough to remember the Republican Revolution in 1994 that absolutely repudiated the Democrat's socialist first two years in office (Hillarycare especially). Let's have a little perspective here.
As the next chair of the Social Security Subcommittee, a top priority will be to expand Social Security benefits by at least $2,400 a year & extend Social Securityโs solvency for generations.
How? By scrapping the cap & demanding that the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes.
The big problem in American politics is that voters expect the government to solve their problems. Our country was founded on the principle that the people should be left alone to solve their own problems. When government is empowered to solve problems, it creates them instead.
This isn't even counting payroll tax, which is 7.65%. And for those of us who are self-employed, we get to pay double that. So I get to pay these ridiculous income taxes PLUS 15.3% of my income. PLUS 7.65% of all my employees' income.
Entrepreneurs are especially getting raped.

@Polimom@IanHuyett This is a core issue for their base. Will they be able to fend off the more radical activists (not to mention radical elected reps) in their caucus?
๐จAmong White Male Voters, the number preferring a candidate who advocated Trump-like policies fell from 49% in January 2025 to 32% in October 2026.
โ Roughly half of those White Men leaving the Trump base now prefer Traditional Republican policies while the other half prefer Traditional Democratic policies.
โ The decline in Trump support included 25% among White Men without a college degree, 6% among those with a Bachelors Degree, and 3% among postgrads.
โ Among White Male Evangelical Christians, the decline was 25 points (from 69% to 44%).
โ Among White Male Bible Believing Christians, the decline was 28 points (from 67% to 39%).

@Polimom@IanHuyett@JasonSorens I understand. But you tried to make a distinction between a "choice" bill and abortion legalization, but there is no distinction between those two.
95% of the caucus is a high bar @IanHuyett. I imagine they might play more politics with it, given their extreme majority. Have people in more conservative districts (Goffstown, Merrimack, We are, etc) vote against knowing that final passage is assured. They may not be able to do that on a veto override, if that ever happens, but on initial passage I wouldn't put it past them.
But it's not just "the government making decisions for individuals." A unique, living, innocent human would be killed as a result of that "individual decision." Would you allow theft because it is an "individual decision"? Or slavery? Even murder of a born human is an "individual decision." Every single human action, good and bad, is a decision.
@darkerwaves00@IanHuyett@JasonSorens This is retarded. Some guy seeking to get in the good graces of influential Epstein MENTIONS Sununu and that somehow implicates Sununu of something? And what does this have to do with Kelly Ayotte and whether she would veto an abortion ban repeal? Please go touch grass.
@darkerwaves00@IanHuyett@JasonSorens Gov. Chris Sununu didn't lose a gubernatorial election. He decided not to run again.
Low information voters who don't know the difference between Gov CHRIS Sununu and his brother Sen. JOHN Sununu on a ballot is emblematic of our entire electoral problem.
That would preclude any parties that may be started after these rules are put in place. And if it didn't, what would prevent a major party from siphoning off a few members to "start a new party" to gain a seat on this imaginary board so they can skew the ideological makeup of the board in their direction? That likely wouldn't happen at a town level, but it could definitely happen at a state level and certainly at a national level.
