I’m getting grief for ripping the 38 Republicans who voted “no” on the CR Trump wanted approved. “Muh principles…” Do you know how you got Obamacare? Do you know how you got a bloated federal bureaucracy that seeks to control every aspect of your life? Do you know how you got insane laws on ridiculous social matters like transgenderism? Do you know how? BECAUSE DEMOCRATS VOTE EN MASSE IN FAVOR OF WHAT THEIR LEADERSHIP TELLS THEM TO VOTE FOR AND REPUBLICANS HAVE “MUH PRINCIPLES.” Yes, principles and morality are good. Dissent is good. But not always—not when small principles destroy bigger principles. SOMETIMES you have a brief window where uniting behind a visionary leader is absolutely necessary even if he/she deviates from your principles in certain areas of lesser importance. In American history, transformational leaders rarely arise, and when they do they usually have a brief window to effect meaningful change, and that window rapidly closes. Donald Trump is such a transformational leader. His window is right now until about a year from now, then it closes. Those 38 Republicans and their apologists? They are not thinking strategically and they are blowing our window to pieces. Donald Trump just accomplished the political equivalent of turning water into wine. Trust the man. Give him what he wants. At least for the next 12 months or so. Then if it’s not working, have at your principles. Or else enjoy always losing in the long run while the Democrats always win in the long run. And oh yeah. I have principles. My #1 principle is turning back the Neo-Marxist onslaught of Democrat policies. Why is that not your #1 principle too? Geez Louise. How is this not obvious?

Let me explain the debt ceiling to you since it's pretty clear most of you have no idea what is going on. As of now, there is no debt ceiling. Let me repeat that for all of those "true conservative" supporters. As of right now, there is no debt ceiling. The debt ceiling was suspended back in Jun of 2023. As things stand now, as of Jan 1st, 2025, the debt ceiling will return, and it will be whatever it was when it was suspended plus whatever spending Biden and the dems did since June of 2023. That new debt ceiling is estimated to be hit by June of 2025 if not earlier. What the CR wanted to do is push the redemption of the debt ceiling back for 2 years. This would allow massive tax cuts that Trump wants to make. Things like no tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime, a 15% tax bracket for companies who built here, and to stop the Trump tax cuts from expiring. You see, the government idiots consider tax cuts as government spending. So if you do $4 trillion in tax cuts, the government considers that $ 4 trillion in spending. The debt ceiling redemption on Jan 1st will make Trump have to figure out how to pass the tax cuts without going over the debt ceiling and triggering a default. Do you get it now? By not moving the non-existent debt ceiling back two more years, the "true conservatives" just stopped you from getting more of your money returned to you by tax cuts and they kept more money in the government for a bigger gov. In effect, they just voted for the exact opposite of what they tell you they want and don't for a second think they don't know that.
