I come only for your tears.

@prchovanec And now you're back? 👍

It's so funny how everyone was like "You say you'll leave X but you'll never leave X" and then I left X.

I found a fortune cookie for @MarshaBlackburn.

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

I feel like I should periodically reappear on this site just to say one thing: "I told you so."

We don't need Chinese propaganda, we've got a President who just regurgitates whatever Xi tells him.

Trump on Taiwan: When you look at the odds, China is very, very powerful, big country. That's a very small island. Think of it, it's 59 miles away. We're 9500 miles away. That's a little bit of a difficult problem. Taiwan was developed because we had presidents that didn't know what the hell they were doing. They stole our chip industry.

Congratulations to everyone who helped get us here.

It took a bit longer than two weeks, but I see Trump finally release his health care plan.

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

Oh gosh, time to post so I don't get closed out.

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

Keeping my account active to prevent it from being closed. See you elsewhere.

Because legally qualified American voters don't want to be harassed and intimidated by masked gunmen as a condition of going to vote. Is that really hard to understand?

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

If noncitizens don’t vote, then why are Democrats worried about ICE agents going anywhere near a polling location?

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

I am not "back". These are my periodic posts simply to keep my account here from being shut down for inactivity and my handle stolen. I regularly share my thoughts at the other place.

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

Here's a basic American idea: the country is filled with people who are different from me, in all kinds of ways. And they all have the same rights, same as me.

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

They denied her medical care for 15 minutes, until their own medics could come. Maybe it didn't make a difference, but it's an awfully inhuman thing to do.

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

My one-year anniversary of leaving this hellhole came and went, and I didn't even notice.

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

Just posting so Elon doesn't take my handle and give it to someone else.

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

That's my 2 cents to keep X from shutting down my account from disuse. See you on the other side.

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

Republicans continue to posture on "free markets" and "pro-business", yet it would be hard to find an Administration more actively interventionist or politically punitive towards markets or business than the Trump White House. It is statist and personalist through and through.

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

The notion that this is what "limited government" looks like - armed masked men accosting people in the streets, using the army to bully state and local authorities, arbitrary tariffs determining what you can buy, the President setting taxes and spending w/o Congress - is absurd.

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

Every time I post, it's like "ha, he couldn't stay away!" To the contrary, I post every once in a blue moon simply so they don't shut my account. That's all. My life is way happier without this place.

[Patrick Chovanec @prchovanec]

I'll break my vow of Twitter silence for a moment just to post this:
