If you are someone who is undecided about voting, I would like for you to consider this before casting your vote.

France is practically the progressive wish list come to life.

Universal healthcare. Heavily subsidized college tuition. Public insurance covering transgender healthcare. They even recognized Palestine.

And somehow, rioters are STILL burning the place down.

Progressives are constantly saying that America needs
government programs, more benefits, more taxpayer-funded everything.

Well, France has a whole lot of what American progressives keep demanding. And a violent fringe just torched a historic city hall.

At what point do we admit that throwing more government benefits at people won’t magically produce a peaceful society?

You can subsidize practically everything except personal responsibility.

And frankly, I’d rather America learn from France’s mistakes than pay to repeat them.

@TMinchiata At this point, he one of the more saner democrats.

I swear, these people could watch Washington set a pile of money on fire and suggest throwing more money on it to put it out.

🚨 Carville: Democrats need to RAISE TAXES

@JamesCarville_: “They need to raise taxes on these high-income people.”

“If you raise tax on people over $500,000 a year and you open rural hospitals, it’s going to create a lot of jobs and it’s going to do a lot of things for a lot of people.”

[The Undercurrent @NotTheirScript]

The most fascinating part of this argument is that it requires everyone listening to forget the single most consequential national security failure in modern American history.

If your vision for America's future requires everyone to forget its past, perhaps you're not quite ready to help govern it.

EL-SAYED: “I believe that we don’t need ICE. In fact, we can go back to INS [pre-9/11] back when we were a lot more safe and secure…and then we need to make sure we have a clear pathway to citizenship.”

It’s precious how much this little tater tot wants people to think he’s tough.

[The Undercurrent @NotTheirScript]

There’s something revealing about people who seem to get satisfaction from tearing others down. Belittling someone offers a temporary feeling of superiority. It’s a convenient substitute for confronting your own insecurities and shortcomings.

I intentionally left the author’s name out. She’s easy enough to find, but I’m not interested in rewarding this behavior with more attention.

[The Undercurrent @NotTheirScript]

I have a revolutionary idea. Before anyone gets to vote on spending billions of taxpayer dollars, perhaps we should establish whether they understand where their own paycheck goes.

@CrystalSmallen @MisfitPatriot A stylist can fix an outfit. I’m genuinely curious who you hire to fix whatever this performance is.

@MichaelOxlong22 Accurate. He’s become more and more unhinged.

@Mod2Severe Concepts are consistent with adults and children….
Although, I’m sure your 4 year old has better ability to regulate emotions than some adults.

When you reward a tantrum, don't be shocked when it becomes someone's preferred method of negotiation.

[The Undercurrent @NotTheirScript]

@N0taTwitB0t @spencerpratt Agreed.

[The Undercurrent @NotTheirScript]

I think @spencerpratt needs to be the future of common sense candidates.

He spent his young adulthood on reality TV. Every embarrassing moment, every nasty accusation, every character flaw has already been picked apart publicly. Good luck digging up dirt on someone whose twenties were televised.

And he’s genuinely entertaining. That’s a HUGE asset.

Politics has always required a certain level of showmanship. Social media has only amplified that.

Reality TV might actually be one of the best proving grounds for political talent.

@alabasterangel2 It is so simple… but people love to avoid confrontation.

You've had 33 years in the Senate to address rural healthcare. But congratulations on discovering the problem just in time to blame Trump.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Cutting Medicaid doesn’t save money. It closes rural hospitals.

Democrats will push to repeal Trump's $1 trillion health care cuts.

@amandatalks__ There’s not a thing wrong with her style. She is in jeans and a shirt. She has bracelets on. I bet one of her kids made the one with the beads. She looks good for almost 40. Women are jealous and spiteful.

[Sarah Adams @sarahadams]

For those who do not understand what this means, I want to pull out some highlights from a HPSCI briefing below to show you:

This was a session talking about inadequate vetting that now is unfortunately our burden to fix. Abdul wants you to ignore these facts, WE WILL NOT!

-There are now 18,000 known and suspected terrorists on U.S. soil.

-Approximately 190,000 Afghans were admitted even though there were gaps in available identity documentation and biometric information.

-An estimated 15–20 million people entered our nation, most without proper vetting.

We have a serious problem. Pretending it doesn’t exist or making it worse won’t solve it.
