The politicians serve as the straw man for the oligarchs. Since the Citizens United case, division has increased almost exponentially. The politicians are bought and paid for by the ruling class, and they gladly take the heat for the real villains as long as their trough remains full. Never forget the value of the straw man to rulers.

Well, since all you seem to want to do is come in here and take your pot shots and me and Reagan, you can have it, Porter. Feel free to reuse “pot shots”. Simple Google search: Representative Thomas Massie voted to block President Trump's 2019 national emergency declaration regarding the southern border. [1, 2] He was one of 13 House Republicans who broke party lines in February 2019 to support the resolution overturning the declaration. Massie later joined 14 Republicans in March 2019 to vote with all Democrats to override President Trump's veto of the measure. He justified his votes by asserting that the Constitution grants the power of the purse exclusively to Congress and that a president cannot bypass this by reallocating funds when Congress refuses to approve their spending requests

I asked you about your comment on late spring early summer and this is what you responded with? You lied again. When will the people meaning all people? Wages have not kept up with cost of living. Go back and read your comments on this particular subject. I'll wait and I can admit when I'm wrong. AI Overview: Alternative truth (often referred to as "alternative facts") is a term used to describe a false, misleading, or unsubstantiated statement presented as the truth to manipulate public perception or serve an ideological goal.

This was is what I posted: "Wages rising. Manufacturing surging. Construction booming. Markets hitting record highs." What part of these don't you understand?

The defense hoping for a White guilt liberal member of the jury. There is no plausible defense however juries can be quite idiotic. Having sat on three juries, I have heard some really strange discussions. It’s where you can’t even figure out where another person’s thought process is even coming from. In other words, juries don’t always follow the law. Going by Texas law, Anthony needed to reasonably believe that Metcalf was about to kill him or cause serious bodily injury AND Anthony did not provoke the incident.

I think it will come down to the economy. Blame may be part of it. There is a saying that all politics are local. That is probably not 100% true, but there is certainly a lot of truth in it. An example is that Nancy Pelosi in some polls has shown to be the most unpopular politician in America, yet the Democrats had her as the Speaker. The country haters her but unlike the president, she is not on the national ballot. She is only from one district in San Francisco and she wins there by landslide. Politics is local. The national news media can talk about good times or bad times but people tend to vote on what is happening in their area. Politics is local. To expand on that, the Democrats are notorious for shooting themselves in the foot with their issues and campaign strategies. They choose hills to die on like taking away firearms, having schools teach and facilitate gender change without parental consent or knowledge, throwing the borders open, etc.Nationally some of that may play well but does it play well in southeast Texas or northwest Missouri? So if the economy is down or there is some other major issue going on and the Democrats give up on their identity politics, they have a good shot at the presidency. Hopefully they will hold to their strategy like the movie Idiocracy. If it seems utterly ridiculous, do it!

You just continue to lie. Still waiting for your so called late spring early summer. You know alternative facts. Google: trump's economy President Donald Trump’s economy is currently characterized by a resilient labor market clashing with severe inflationary pressures and geopolitical headwinds. Despite the labor market exceeding expectations, voters remain largely pessimistic as surging gas prices and a broad cost-of-living crisis weigh on households nationwide. [1, 2, 3, 4] Labor Market and Employment Job Growth: The labor market has surprisingly outperformed expectations. The latest data shows non-farm payrolls growing by 172,000 in May, significantly higher than economists’ forecasts. [1] Unemployment: The national unemployment rate has held steady at 4.3%. [1] Labor Force: Sweeping reductions in immigration policy have slowed labor force growth, effectively changing the breakeven rate for employment. [1] Inflation and Cost of Living Surging Prices: Inflation remains a prominent challenge, rising to 3.8%—its fastest pace in nearly three years. Wage Stagnation: Wages and paychecks are failing to keep pace with the rising cost of living, growing by roughly 3.4%. Energy Costs: Households are feeling the pinch at the gas pump. Due to the ongoing standoff and conflict in the Middle East, the national average for a gallon of gas spiked to $4.22. [1] Policy Shocks and Economic Drivers Trade Wars: The White House implemented sweeping trade tariffs that drove the average tariff rate up significantly. While this initially led to domestic manufacturing front-loading, it has also sparked concerns regarding global supply chain disruptions. [1, 2] Debt Levels: The U.S. has continued to take on high levels of government debt, and there is ongoing friction regarding the Federal Reserve's interest rates and the administration's fiscal policies. [1, 2] Consumer Sentiment Voter Dissatisfaction: Despite steady job reports, consumer confidence and approval ratings for the President's handling of the economy remain low, with roughly 75% of adults viewing the economy as "poor" or "not so good".

Since you actually didn’t address what was posted, it appears that facts tend to bore you!

. Food, gas, and groceries are all high. Sleepy Don can't stay awake, and the Republican-led House can't pass a bill. MAGA Mike has lost control and respect from his Republican colleagues. You are correct, in 5 months it will get better. Texas may be blue in November. [Hidden Content] But, but Joe actually did better.

Massie has backed border wall funding before, like over $5 billion in 2019 through regular appropriations and co-sponsoring a 2023 bill for $15 billion more per Grok. This sounds just like you Baddog. Lol

Texas-1st Troy WV

I have not been able to watch anything, but I from what I remember: --He brought a knife to a track meet. --He went and sat under another teams tent. --Refused to leave when asked to leave. Is this accurate to what has been going on with the case?

It’s been nice conversing on an adult level. You‘ve used the phrase “get the hook out of your mouth” several times, which tells me how you operate. I guess you forgot about voting against border wall funding in 2019 when Trump declared national emergency. It wasn’t disingenuous. Have a good evening.

I’m pulling for: 1. Texas 2. Oklahoma/North Carolina

No bait, just admit saying he didn’t vote for the border wall bill was disingenuous knowing his history of voting. I have one Savior which is Jesus Christ. I know that bothers you that he’s not a Trump puppet. Our 40 trillion debt is more of a threat to our country than Iran imo. But hey keep agreeing with every single thing Trump say or does that’s your right.

I did my research. It was a baited question and I didn’t bite. I knew about the bill. At least I can converse with you without referring to Massie as your savior. I know better than to make that reference. It’s all good.

It’s not bait, you’re being a little disingenuous by saying he voted against the border wall bill. There was a whole lot of nonsense in that bill money wise. Keep in mind we are almost 40 trillion in debt. Let’s give it a little context why don’t we. Here’s what Grok has to say about it which is pretty accurate. Yes, in a sense, but it’s nuanced. Thomas Massie voted against the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in 2025, a major spending package that included border security and immigration funding often tied to border wall efforts. He was one of only two Republicans to vote no, mainly because he opposed the bill’s massive impact on the national debt, which he said would fuel inflation and higher interest rates—not because he opposes a border wall itself. Massie has backed border wall funding before, like over $5 billion in 2019 through regular appropriations and co-sponsoring a 2023 bill for $15 billion more. But he’s consistently pushed back on executive overreach, like Trump’s 2019 national emergency declaration to redirect funds, arguing Congress should control spending. Trump and critics have hammered him for voting against the border wall because of that big bill, but his record shows he’s supported physical barriers when the process follows Congress’s constitutional role. It’s more about fiscal hawkishness and separation of powers than being anti-wall.

I got West Virginia winning the Jello Shot Challenge.

Good bait.

Pulling for them only. I don't bet baseball.

So Massie voted against a stand alone Border Wall Bill?

What honorable person would have a knife at a high school track meet?!
