How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?
Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion
Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion
Now he’s down to $150 billion
And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion
So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services
This clown will cut $58 billion
Maybe

It's wild every four years when the Midwest or the South get blamed for the rightward slant of American politics. Talk to a Boston or New York Democrat sometime, you'll find yourself right of anywhere cheaper to live than the East Coast
And folks are sadly mistaken if they think that social issues like that are not very clear cut for the average American voter.
Just look at the data.
Ppl in leftist and progressive bubbles want to believe so badly that most democratic voters are where we may WANT them to be.
They are NOT.

Whether the left went too far is up for debate.
But at a certain point it helps to be willing to consider something that might make you uncomfortable.
The right manipulated the fact that the left, including congressional democrats, could not answer simple questions like “what is a woman”.

Hegseth told Fox News the U.S. mishandled China’s rise, noting its push to control the Panama Canal. He said the U.S. is responding with a naval deal. Panama left China’s Belt and Road in Feb. Trump warned Iran of “huge danger” if no nuclear deal is reached.

This is footage of my Great Uncle Gordon MacNeil on Sept, 4, 1939, the morning after war was declared. He put on his uniform and called on the young men of Iona, Cape Breton to go fight tyranny. And they went.
Many still lie in the fields of Italy or northern Europe.
