    This country went 4 years with a president who has full onset of dementia and leftist idiots are going in full meltdown before the 1st day of an insignificant gov shutdown took place.

    Space Cadet is a vivid eg of someone whose elevator doesn't go to the top floor



    btw, this is the inconvenient truth.

    even tho the infrastucture bill was one of this top stated priorities, as POTUS,
    the convicted felon never got it done. not even a plan

    as POTUS, Biden, in his first year in office, got the infrastructure bill signed into law​

    I was a child of the 60s/70s in a HS with almost 800 in my grad class. I used to think that everyone smoked pot because everyone I hung around with did and that seemed like the whole world to me. But going through the HS yearbook made me see that 1) The world was a whole lot bigger than who I hung around and 2) More people didn't smoke pot than those that did.

    My point is there is a much bigger world out there than just who you enjoy hanging out with. And just because you want something, doesn't mean that it's what everyone else wants.

    Until we get rid of the party system, we'll never get rid of the political cliches that we have created. If it's a good idea, vote on it. If it's not a good idea don't vote on it. 1 term and get back to work. Our government is riddled with lifelong politicians lining their pockets while pushing the country in a directions that we know is broken - but they don't care, What's in it for me and my party beliefs. Also there should always be a balanced budget. If you can't afford it, you can't buy it.

    The ONLY way to balance the budget is to tax the rich and corporations and get rid of the loop holes.

    Best way is to grow the economy -- which is why Trump is working so hard to cut taxes to stimulate growth and promoting corporations to invest in America.

    Raising taxes is fool's gold -- as it will de-motivate work and value creation (Dems just don't understand incentives/motivation at all... I do, as a leader).... but furthermore America doesn't have a revenue problem.... it has a SPENDING problem. And Democrats seeking to spend $1.5 trillion on health care, including for illegals, is highly representative of the problem.


    GOOD DAY

    See, this is funny, and patently false.....has proven to fail time and time again, but stupid poeple like El Cuckstador keep on repeating the same dumb lies, it is pretty clear that this person is more than likely a troll or paid to just spout the same lines.

    Not someone that cares about the USA, or it's people.....keep on flapping that chicken.....boy.
