I voted for the Prohibitionist Party in 2008

If we still had paper ballots, I'd just stamp this every 4 years until a worthy candidate arrived:

Why didn't you link that NYTs article?


quote:

The budget is unlikely to have much effect on actual spending levels, which are controlled by Congress.



Is it because even the NYTs says the above?


quote:

It also contains what White House officials called a total of $1.9 trillion in cost savings from mandatory safety-net programs, like Medicaid and Medicare, the federal health care programs for the elderly and the poor.



Why did you leave that out?

Why did you not give us the itemized list like a 1 time shot for the border wall thT would not be in the next budget, but the cuts in welfare would be?


We all know why Roger.

Freedom Works wasn't the Tea Party. The Tea Party has been dead since at least 2010. By the end of 2009, Political operatives had monetized it for their own PACs. The individual groups were mostly taken over by nutters, all Ron Paul supporters in 2009, driving membership away. The only real Tea Party group which remained active in Louisiana was Northshore Tea Party though I'm not sure how active they were after 2015.

Using Michelle Bachman as your "proof" only solidifies my point. She was promoted by the MSM as the face of the Tea Party. Hope that bait tastes good.

This is cute and all.But in reality, Trump wanted to spend MORE on COVID than Congress would approve. Trump even threated to primary republicans over it. Hell, some democrats were against his additional round of "stimulus".

His record pre-COVID didn't include any significant cuts, nor did Trump propose any. Zero leadership. Zero coalescing of political support. Because in reality, his supporters don't want anything cut. Sure, they all say "we need to cut spending". Then ask them "what". And they'll list somethings that add up to maybe $100B

What 's the first word in FISA? I can understand Gaetz being for it, if it was FISA on it's face. But when you turn that first word to include American citizens, and without needing a warrant to do so, why is it hard to understand why he hates it now?

On here by proto-Patriots as well

I don't read MSM much so I wouldn't have known that until you just said so.

The Tea Party was always just a blip. The GOPe existed before it, they used it to propel undercover swampers during it, and they've all been compromised/converted after it.

Don't worry., I'm sure there will be another bill coming soon that will give another 50 billion dollars of my fricking money to Ukraine that my retard GOP reps will be beating off over. Because the Uniparty demands it. Those campaign checks Boeing and Northrup wrote them had plenty of strings attached.
