    Talk is cheap. Worthless even when it comes from liars. Btw, how is that big beautiful Foxconn plant doing?

    But everyone knows they can play the MAGA cultists by making some bogus investment announcements. It doesn't mean they'll actually invest what they claim but it doesn't cuz the MAGATs eat it up.

    Qatar entire sovereign wealth fund is 600b yet they announced they're investing 1 trillion and the cultists eat it up. Somehow a government is going to invest 2x their budget and they eat it up

    How do you make sure that the best is secure? Also it doesn't seem to make sense longevity wise. I wouldn't trust dmoneybangbang with cleaning a litter box let alone an internet bet

    We can have a contract that lays out the terms and get it notarized? @raining threes wants to talk **** and make a claim then back it up.

    If he doesn't want to put up money then whoever loses the bet asks the mods to perma ban them from the site. I'm sure we can get a mod to agree to do this? I'm down for either or.

    I'll wager any sum of money or a permanent ban that the deficit will be higher in 3 years than what it is now. He brought up the wager and I'm just taking him up on the offer.

    The GOP has lost the battle for the ideas of this country and is now brought in people that have been LOSERS their entire life in power, guys stuffed in lockers, girls that were the Carrie's of their school - this is who Trump has picked to be in power, losers and trolls - this country is fading into NAZI germany territory, this is going to get very ugly.

    But why? He offered to wager with anyone that the deficit would be smaller in 3 years while they're passing 5 trillion dollars in tax cuts + gutting the IRS which the CBO says will cut revenue by 400b a year.

    This is the easiest wager I've ever made. I know he wont follow through cuz like most MAGATs they're full of **** when push comes to shove.

    Massie is one of the few Republicans who's a sincere individual who believes what he believes. I have massive respect for him and wished more Republicans were principled like him.

    The cosplaying libertarian should take notes @Space Ghost @StupidMoniker

    and of course he should be voted out because if you don't march in lockstep with Dear Leader, then you're just a RINO

    I agree, unfortunately I think the 5 holdouts will cave at some point. The high school bully will bad mouth him and the ass kissers will join in because they can't think for themselves

    No individual who care about the debt should vote for the bill..... adding 5 trillion dollars of debt just to give billionaires another tax cut at the expense of kicking out 13 million off insurance and taking food from millions of low income individuals.

    Its just sick stuff and it blows my mind away that these people view themselves as populist. Its such a cult

    Massie won't cave. He'll get primaried before he votes for it. I've met him before at a fundraiser and hes a legit libertarian. He's a good guy personally as well

    Insanity. Adding a trillion dollars in interest payments alone to give tax cuts to the top 1%
