refugee from X cesspool. hopefully a surviving witness to Trumpocalypse 2.0. I block MAGA, if you voted for Trump you have nothing intelligent to say and I have no desire to waste a moment of time engaging with you. I don't care if it bothers you.
Some posters just like to fight and refuse to ever admit the possibility that they're wrong. I just can't believe we had to rely on the crazy caucus to get this petition signed and all the rest of the Republicans chose to bury the evidence.

if Dems take the House they can subpoena them and question them on what they specifically said to her. it sure as hell isn't privileged information.
November 13, 2025 at 7:27 AM
exactly. politically, at least in the short term, there is no upside for the crazy caucus to go against Trump and the rest of the party. but whatever their reasons are long term their actions, IN THIS INSTANCE, are absolutely correct. What kills me is all those GOP who don't. cynical and soulless
November 13, 2025 at 7:18 AM
goodbye, were you even on the planet in 2018 or 2020???
I mute silly posters.
November 13, 2025 at 5:05 AM
of course. that is what libertarians would do. do you even know what libertarianism is?
i have come to the conclusion you are not a serious poster if I have to explain to you that libertarians are for laizzez faire capitalism and maximalist speech (ie money is speech)
now go to bed child.
November 13, 2025 at 5:04 AM
oh FFS. SCOTUS will get rid of that soon enough. the Constitution clearly gives Congress the power to levy "duties" ie tariffs.
and MTG, Boebert, and Mace are not Club for Growth pols. they are right wing populists and also all crazy.
November 13, 2025 at 5:03 AM
how the hell does this advance the Club for Greed's agenda?
if Trump is crippled because of Epstein 2026 will be an absolute massacre for the GOP. no one is "praising" Massie, just thankful that the crazy caucus aligns with the Dems on this issue. and sickened that 95% of GOP didn't sign it
November 13, 2025 at 5:00 AM
again, this vote doesn't help him with the Club for Growth or corporations because turmoil at the top roils through society.
didn't you notice it is the crazy caucus that put their name on this petition? I think they are crazy, but they aren't cynical and soulless.
November 13, 2025 at 4:58 AM
that poster just wants to pick a fight. Massie is a true believer libertarian, I think that is crazy but I would take someone like that over the soulless, cynical Republicans who didn't put their name on this petition. you can't make the bar any lower and they still couldn't clear it.
November 13, 2025 at 4:56 AM
you are seriously flailing here.
November 13, 2025 at 4:53 AM
no, he is a true believer. I don't believe in 99% of the things he believes in but sometimes conspiracists are right. he is a genuine libertarian. i think libertarianism is truly awful but most are just emotionally stunted individuals.
November 13, 2025 at 4:51 AM
but it is the crazy caucus that is doing this. sometimes crazy conspiracists are RIGHT, even paranoid people can have real enemies. what is most obnoxious is only 4 Republicans signed on to this. it should be virtually all of them but they are all so cynical and soulless.
November 13, 2025 at 4:46 AM
the most bizarre thing it is the craziest Republicans in the House; Boebert, MTG, Mace, and Massie (though his craziness is of a different sort) are the ones doing this. all the rest are cynical, soulless politicos who don't care what Trump is guilty of as long as they remain in power.
November 13, 2025 at 4:44 AM
sorry, BUY insurance because I am not a selfish bastard.
but this is what Trump is advocating right now. the sick will be ruined, the healthy do better. it would be a total disaster for a huge portion of the population but they DO NOT CARE
November 12, 2025 at 5:25 PM
i am not advocating for this at all, simply saying this is the GOP way of viewing healthcare. they only think of themselves. 50% of healthcare is used by 5%, 50% of US population uses only 3%, so half population uses 97% of healthcare.
even knowing I never needed healthcare I'd still by insurance
November 12, 2025 at 5:23 PM
if you are young and healthy you can run the odds and likely be successful if you go without insurance. if you put $10k into an HSA and only paid out of pocket for yearly checkup you'd statistically make out well. if a catastrophe happened you would simply declare bankruptcy.
November 12, 2025 at 5:20 PM
except that isn't true, by law you have to have car insurance to protect OTHER drivers if you are at fault in an accident. if I were young and single no way I'd pay that out of pocket. I never went to Doctor for decades only Dentist. I still had insurance. Only when I got older I did yearly checkups
November 12, 2025 at 5:17 PM
sure, but I understand his frustration and he is basically saying he can risk going without insurance and save the money taking someone who would contribute into the risk pool, benefitting those with conditions. it is a LOSE LOSE situation for everyone. only winner is him if he stays healthy
November 12, 2025 at 5:12 PM
beyond his immaturity, why the hell is he so effing weird? he is by far the worst Sec of Defense in my lifetime.
November 12, 2025 at 5:07 PM
these were 13 seats Republicans held prior to this election, as an example
2025 Elizabeth Guzman (D)
20,297 54.89%
Ian Lovejoy*Incumbent (R)
16,624 44.96%
2023 Republican Ian Lovejoy 16,032 52.19
Democratic Travis Nembhard 14,616 47.58
that is a huge swing in 2 years. Never say never.
November 12, 2025 at 5:05 PM
Before Election Day, in VA Democrats held 51 seats in the House compared to Republicans’ 49, a slim margin. Democrats now hold 64 seats compared to Republicans’ 36 — the best position the party has held in decades.
this is what wave elections means. yes, no gerrymander but Dems flipped 13 seats.
November 12, 2025 at 4:59 PM
but look at the map, look at district 11 with Asheville as an anchor for the Democrats. The GOP completely ignored the area after the historic flooding. I think it is prime for a flip.
And never say anything is uncompetitive. in VA Dems flipped 13 Assembly seats, many in "uncompetitive" districts
November 12, 2025 at 4:56 PM
Districts 5 6 7 9 11 13 14 are all under R+10, meaning a wave election could place a few in jeopardy, especially district 11 which has Ashville in it and this is the district GOP ignored after flooding.
November 12, 2025 at 4:55 PM
but some can win. the GOP in NC might have created a dummymander. they are relying on the map of 2024 when Trump way outperformed 2020 when Dems got 50% of popular vote. in 2024 they only got 42.80%. if Dems get over 50% they will flip a few seats and hold onto district 1.
November 12, 2025 at 4:49 PM
he should have said "we have the talent but not enough workers to fill certain jobs available"
