@Willie700WLW Billy, you are way too intelligent for this. We saw it with our eyes. It was the wrong call. It happens throughout play. This is not an isolated incident.
@Matt4VA If GOP loses Senate, then it will be hard for them to get the Justices they want in place. Unfortunately, Thomas has turned out to be one of the weaker Justices as he has aged.
Republicans have had full control of the federal government for the past 18 months.
Here is how they govern:
-Enacted broad tariffs that took an economy called the envy of the world and slowed it to a crawl.
-2024 had 2.9% inflation. Today it is 4.2%.
-The lowest earners had been seeing the largest wage gains. In 2025, they reversed that: not only did they have the lowest gains, but they were also losing ground to inflation.
-Now the average wage is also losing ground, with a 0.8% decrease due to the high inflation.
-2023 and 2024 combined averaged over 165,000 jobs created each month. 2025 and 2026 combined are only 40,000 per month.
-GDP growth dropped from 2.8% in 2024 to 2.1% last year, and down to 1.6% so far this year.
-An ill-planned, pointless war was started in Iran. Then, the US gave up because the war was so bad for the economy and gained nothing for the loss of life and equipment.
-Our allies are moving away from us. Our trading partners are looking elsewhere.
-The president has used the White House to enrich himself and his family with billions through grifts.
-Republicans don't even talk about their one major piece of legislation anymore, the "One Big Beautiful Bill, because it kicked a million kids off of food assistance, made millions lose their healthcare, and accelerated the deficit and debt, all so that corporations and billionaires could get more tax breaks and loopholes.
-The top 1% now hold as much wealth as the bottom 90%.
-They pretend they gave you a tax cut, too, but they actually taxed you more. The average income tax refund increased by ~$300, but the average household paid over $1,500 in tariffs. Then there are the higher prices from inflation, making it even worse.
America is worse off today than it was in January 2025, and Republicans are to blame.
It’s not “Socialism” it’s common sense.
According to the 2026 Index of Economic Freedom, there are 27 countries that are truly and fully capitalist.
Every single one has universal healthcare, 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐔𝐬.
Every single one has paid parental leave. 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐔𝐬.
Every single country has unionization rates above 10%. 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐔𝐬.
Every single country has job protection laws. 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐔𝐬.
Every single country has mandatory employer provided PTO. 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐔𝐬.
We have the lowest literacy rate of all the developed Capitalist countries.
We have the lowest life expectancy of all developed Capitalist countries.
Tucker Carlson: I would not support the Republican party, there's no chance I would support the Republican party. How could I support a political party that is not loyal to the United States. I voted Republican my entire life, I have been a consistent defender for 35 years of the Republican party, but there is no defending this. I'm out
Tucker is not the only one who is done supporting the Republican Party.
There is A LOT of us that are absolutely fed up and will not support a party that betrays its voters and country.
That does not mean we are turning into Democrats either.
But we are DONE with the America LAST Republican Party.
