Never flying @Delta again. How do you mess up our 11:00am flight so badly that it gets delayed SIX HOURS? causing us to also miss our international flight FOR OUR WEDDING?? Now, you’ve lost all our checked bags so we cant even go home and plan for our rebooked flights tomorrow

You forced Obamacare through 16 years ago while Republicans warned it would make premiums skyrocket? 

“Yes Dave.”

And then premiums skyrocketed?

“Yes Dave.”

Then under Biden you passed additional subsidies to pay for these high premiums?

“Yes Dave.”

And now these subsidies are largely corporate welfare driven by fraud?

“Yes Dave.” 

And now you’re shutting down the government to continue these subsidies? 

“That’s correct Dave.”

🚨 LMFAO! President Trump has just unveiled the Presidential Wall of Fame at the White House, and Joe Biden’s portrait is an AUTO-PEN

🚨NEW: MSNBC gave Ilhan Omar TOTAL PASS on her *DISGUSTING* Charlie Kirk comments — and focused on backlash she is facing🚨

Here are some of the questions they asked instead of holding her accountable:

"How are you holding up?"

"What do you think is the animating factor behind why they come after you with such venom and vitriol?"

"Have [your Democratic colleagues] done enough to defend and protect you?"

Hard-hitting journalism, folks.

@JasonJournoDC Keep doubling down on the “threat to democracy” and “hitler” name calling. You’re not even a politician at this point, just an ignorant asshole who is very much part of the problem.

@MediasLies @DanaBashCNN Two of the most unintelligent grifters and race baiters in politics. The hypocrisy is astonishing.

One of my biggest regrets was voting for President Obama in 2008 as a medical student & celebrating the passage of the ACA

Little did I know the carnage it would wreck on the medical profession and my future patients. I had no idea then that the ACA was written to strip physicians of their autonomy, boost insurer profits & drive healthcare consolidation

End result 15 years later is a more expensive healthcare system with less competition resulting in lower quality, less efficient care for patients. Coverage is not care!

RACISM: Over 75% of Democrat voters believe that Trump refuses to condemn white supremacy, racism, and the kkk. Watch 4 minutes of Trump condemning it and Democrats lying about it.

WHY TRUMP WON

While the legacy media has a meltdown searching for hitherto undiagnosed psychoses in the electorate to explain its embrace of a Hitlerian strongman, the truth is much simpler than their fictions.

This election is a reminder that after all the manufactured drama and overheated rhetoric, politics is still about issues. Whether you agreed with him or not, Trump ran a substantive campaign based on issues like the border, inflation, crime, and war.

Harris ran on vibes, celebrity endorsements, name-calling (“convicted felon”, “fascist”), debunked hoaxes (“very fine people”), and platitudes (“democracy”). She would neither defend the Biden-Harris record nor say what she would do differently. When she did talk about specific issues, they were often stolen from Trump (child tax credit; no tax on tips; border funding).

On the one issue where Democrats had an advantage, abortion, Trump deftly got ahead of the issue by rejecting a national ban and removing problematic language from the GOP platform. Harris wore out the issue by blatantly lying about Trump’s position and by exhibiting her own party’s extremism (nobody needed to see an abortion truck at the DNC).

While Trump expanded his coalition with MAHA (health) and DOGE (government efficiency), Harris concluded her ersatz campaign by going all in on demonizing her opponent, pretending Madison Square Garden was a Nazi convention.

The fact that voters saw through it should be reassuring, even if you don’t agree with the result. Voters want to know how a candidate will give them a better life and, increasingly, they have learned to tune out the rest as noise.

While the legacy media creates excuses and impugns the motives of voters to explain why Trump won, the reason is simple: Trump is the candidate who spoke to voters’ concerns directly.

It’s the issues, stupid.

[Alexandros Marinos 🏴‍☠️ @alexandrosM]

If you voted Democrat and you are feeling that the election result is truly horrifying, do this one simple thing for your mental health:

Write down your fears of what might happen in the next 4 years on a piece of paper.

Re-read and check in on them every few months.

It will be a constant source of relief to you when you see that your fears will not, in fact, come true.

Then start asking why you had those fears in the first place and how you can prevent them from forming the next time.

[Defiant L’s @DefiantLs]

To the people voting based on abortion,

If Trump wins, you are not going to lose your rights because it’s up to the states.

If Kamala wins, she can’t change anything because it’s up to the states.

Hope this helps.

@JStaatsCPA Any recommendations for automating company/employee credit cards for construction entities? I’ve looked at several services/softwares but none so far have shown the capabilities needed to code to specific jobs (HIGH trx volumes) in a way we could integrate with our G/L software

No, Musk did not make $36 billion this week. Unrealized market gains are not earnings. What happens if Tesla stock goes down next week? Will you be returning the tax?

The fact that you don’t understand how investments and earnings work suggests you have no business legislating.
