Paul Ryan is moving to DC FWIW. Guess he is a fully committed swamp creature.

i think you know the answer to that man. republicans havent had a genuine argument not based on racial/sexual grievance in like...20 years.


Now now ... Rand Paul held up the budget & debt ceiling bill a few weeks ago because it increased the deficit. But you know he had zero issues with the tax cuts last year that inflated this whole problem.

If the Dems aren’t running ads that are a split screen of Hitler and Trump discussing the disloyalty of Jews....I give up.

Hot take.....his comment today is the biggest mistake of his presidency (in terms of re-election).

I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty

Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner swiftly brushed aside a Republican congressman’s inflammatory comments about Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) on Tuesday, briefly expressing shock when Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) said Tlaib “hates Jews more than she likes her grandmother” before ultimately moving on.


We are truly living in a garbage time.

At a fundraising luncheon this week in Jackson, Wyo., headlined by both Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney acknowledged the risks to the GOP elite behind closed doors. If the U.S. were to face a recession, it would be “moderate and short,”


What an asshole. Today is absolutely a promise that cannot be made. Anyone who believes it is an idiot.

Was at a town hall centered on gun violence tonight. About 15 nra folks came. They were mad they weren't on the panel of elected legislators and community action groups. Their arguments are so predictable. One guy said hands and feet kill more people and that gun deaths are statistically insignificant.

I'm sure you all saw where Trump canceled his trip to Denmark after the Prime Minister informed him that Greenland wasn't for sale and the idea was idiotic...

Saw a funny tweet tonight where someone said "Bet that's the first time Trump has turned down a Danish!" :lol: :lol: :lol:

With the trending hashtag #disloyaltotrump there are multiple explanations that all ring out to 'knowing who he is and what he represents'. Any chance evangelical "Christians" figure this out? (I know, that group is more interested in bargains with the devil and a fascination with the end of the world).
