I can believe you, I can remember when medical costs for having a kid were almost zero.

He’s just angry, like all liberals, that the dems don’t have any real men to offer.

Nobody believes me when I tell them this, but here goes…. Back in the late 70s, my company offered full coverage for zero dollars. There was no such thing as copay. If I went to the doctor, like I said, no copay, no 80/20, nothing. I owed nothing. 100% coverage with Blue Cross/Blue Shield just for being an employee. Before I left, it was as bad as yours or worse. Deductibles as high as $5 grand.

What are you actually trying to say? 1. Men beating a woman is easy because they are inferior? 2. Trump is now young because he beat someone 3 years older than him? Make that make sense because Trump is the oldest President to take the oath🤣

Agree about the loss of trust in both parties but if you even lean a little conservative the choice between the two is a no brainer, imo. And I don’t agree that the Republicans have an anti immigrant problem, they’re simply anti illegal immigration.

Obama really did a number to our health insurance. I went from paying $85 a paycheck with a $250 deductible to now $130 a paycheck with a $3200 deductible....and that is the lowest deductible the company has. We do get about $1000.00 a year on a HSA card provided by company, but that still leaves you with a $2200 deductible before they pay 80% Healthcare is broken

Keep trying, lol.

Fact President pedo won against 2 females and lost to a old guy... D's only have themselves to blame for handing the election ova... seems he can only beat women (pun intended)

Agree.

Getting people to believe......if you look at the investigations, the Russia Hoax, the lie after lie on impeachments.....the lawfare against him from multiple Democratic states.....it was not a hard sale.

Didn't you say multiple times no way Trump will win again........ Also, "Normal people don’t spend time on message boards engaging in political discourse… but with the exception of Reagan" AND OBVIOUSLY YOU........and the 600 million active users on "X" You focus on the stuff that don't matter. Trump administration is passing bills and wining in the courts.....things that DO matter

Wouldn’t even know where a meeting was held. Besides, I align more with libertarian beliefs. Usually, those align more with conservatives as it relates to scope of government. But, not necessarily Republicans. My beliefs on scope of government are the polar opposite of Democrats. Also, most voters supported (by a 2/3 margin) the school voucher program. [Hidden Content]

I don’t agree with you. Most voters oppose the school voucher program here in Texas, but the local leadership of the Republican Party made sure that any candidate who opposed the vouchers got an opponent, and the local party leadership rallied around the candidate who supported vouchers… we’ve never seen local party leadership at sitting local rep like this area went after Dade Phelan last fall. The local party went as far as censuring him. How does that even happen? They’re out of control ideologues. They literally pick the most extreme candidate other because he/she most closely aligns with their own radical beliefs. To put it frankly, moderates don’t feel strongly enough about moderate stands on issues to devote their lives to fighting for the middle. Extremists do. Most of us here are more interested politically than 97% of the population. And we’re not interested enough to get involved locally. Those people who DO care enough to attend meetings, etc… are just mean, hateful people who devote their lives to fighting “the other guys,” whether they be of the the same party or not. And they’re the ones who pick the candidates we vote for. You seem level headed. Go down to your local Republican Party meeting and tell them how you feel… you’ll be a dirty RINO in minutes.

Not over. My belief is that most people are actually more Independent voters than tied hardcore to one of the major Parties. That’s a major reason why there’s low primary turnout. But, in a national election, one of the major Parties will win an election because that’s how the system is rigged. Local elections allow for more moderate/representative candidates to have a realistic chance of winning. The change back will take time.

The problem is that the most hardcore extremists are who populate the local party machines. The masses don’t pick the candidates that we vote on in the fall…. The whackjobs who actually vote in the primaries keep selecting the most extreme candidates on both sides of the aisle. Normal people don’t spend time on message boards engaging in political discourse… but with the exception of Reagan, I don’t sense the type of dedication from any of yall that would indicate a willingness to participate in the local party from either side. The truth is that most people don’t vote general elections. And only a fraction of that fraction also vote in the primaries where general elections candidates are chosen. The candidates are handpicked by the most fervent ideologues among us, and it shows by the way we keep getting dog crap candidates like Trump. And it was worse than that when the Ds circumvented their primary voters to pick VP Harris to run against Trump in 24. We need to wrestle control of the parties from the whackos or the American Experiment is over. Who am I kidding? It’s already over. We’re just waiting on the credits to roll.

Possible negatives to plan for after passage of OBBB. [Hidden Content]

Both Parties have no one to blame but themselves for the public’s loss of trust in our institutions. In their attempts to ‘win’ politically for control of the people—who they’re supposed to be serving instead of ruling—they’ve both fabricated conspiracies that have been very detrimental. Now, the Dems have an anarchist, Socialist/Communist problem, and the Reps have a radical protectionist, conspiracy believing, anti immigrant problem. Both have a lack of trust problem, and it shows in every poll. They have created the decline we’re seeing by their own respective desires for power. There’s no going back now. The best thing that can happen now is a delegation back to more local control where the people have more direct input again. As it was intended from the beginning. JMHO

I’m pretty sure you’re wrong. I think he’s scrambling to put the genie back in the bottle.

Not sure a judge is going to want his/her handling of their case under the scrutiny this will receive. I just don’t see much being released. Self preservation and CYA mode from the judges. I also believe Trump has invested a lot in getting people to believe in corruption & the Deep State. People are always ripe for conspiracy theories. They’re like mysteries people want to solve. He created this mess himself and it blew out of his control. I don’t believe he anticipated his own turning on him after he fed them the conspiracy bait all this time. Nothing will come of this except for a few books down the road.

With the Republicans MOSTLY on the same page, there is not much Dems can do.......

I'm not sold on that, but now, whatever comes out was from the pressure of the media and the democrats.....If that wasn't the plan, it should have been....lol

Nice. How about this one? Democrats wahhhhh. Lmao. [Hidden Content]

He should be singing about Guam capsizing.
