I honestly believe that ship has sailed...... Besides, none of the victims implemented Trump. The Epstein files democratic talking point has faded - it's hardly ever mentioned on X anymore

The defense funding bill — including a military pay raise — fell far short of the 60 votes needed to advance. All but three Democrats opposed the move by Republicans to open debate on the bill. It failed in a 50-44 vote, as many Democrats argued the Senate should instead focus on a deal to end the shutdown. So the Democrats don't want to fund the Military......That is a great look..... Remember - Every vote of NO, is a vote not to the end the shutdown...... [Hidden Content]

That would be AWESOME!!!!! A couple things could happen...... 1. They could impeach - but would never have enough votes in the senate......not to mention he has done nothing impeachable. His popularity increases every time they try to go after him. That gives Vance the advantage. 2. He could say screw it, step down, Vance takes over, Trump tells all of MAGA how badly he was treated and his last wish is for everyone to vote for Vance...... I can't believe Democrats don't see that Trump is not the threat, he is out in 2028.....it is Vance that they need to worry about. He is a masterful debater and will retain the entire MAGA base......

Do you know the definition of a lame duck? He is winning in the Supreme Court, a couple governors races are getting very close that have current sitting Democrats, and usually win big when the opposition is President..... Plus, the shutdown is not looking good for Democrats......

Funny you grasp that novel, no one has ever been charged with it before conviction - that actually helped get him elected. I hope you feel better about him when those charges are dismissed at appeal......

Remember when Eggs gave you high cholesterol...........

I believe there is many more coming. I personally believe there was some coordination between many people trying to prevent Trump from being successful his first term and some heavy coordination from preventing Trump from running and winning his second term. I think their flaw was being too confident he would not win his second term...... I have no idea what is criminal versus just morally wrong, but it appears it is coming out fairly quick.....Trump has only been in office 9ish months

The Democrats and liberal left while Trump is in office remind me of my Grandfather who could not stand change. JFK is questioning every thing, and why not? Just because we have been doing the same thing for 50 years does not mean we can't make it better. Look at Trumps approach to the middle east? Short term or long term, He got people in a room that hated each other and they made a deal.......Obama and Biden didn't do that because "that is not how foreign policy is done"........yet it worked

Thick or thin skinned - it is an outright lie.

It is a clean resolution to keep the Government open....adds nothing

We have bi-partisan support on the yes vote in the senate. I believe 3 Democrats have came over..... So Republicans and 3 Democrats vote yes to open the Government, the rest of the Democrats vote NO It takes 60 votes in the house......

The strange part.... She makes this ridiculous claim that black people are disabled ( that no black person on this board to my knowledge has challenged) Yet - She was born in Washington DC, and raised in Miami Fl......Mother was a teacher and principle, and Father graduated from Miami school of law and was the chief attorney for the Miami - Dade county School Board........This is in the 70's and 80's - Does not seem like THIS black family was disabled......So, is she full of it (my opinion) or is her family some black super race we don't know about and all other black people are below her?

It is looking like Dem's are going to get smoked at mid-terms and who knows what the DOJ is going to release between now and then...

So we just pay 10 people to do the job one person could do? Private companies can't do that..... In my job, I better be successful to they will find someone who will be. Cutting out the fat in the Government is never a bad thing......we finally have a President that understands how a business works.......and while the Government will never be able to run like a business, it is possible to improve how far our tax dollars go

That is the thing, if it was life/death, I have the money.....it just seems wasteful to do it now and have to start over in a couple months. What is strange to me, is what ACA did. In SE TX, before ACA, we had at least 6 hospitals in the area and only a few quick clinics. After ACA, we have 3 hospitals, well 4 if you count the one in Lumberton, and it seems like 700 quick clinics. They started popping up everywhere. Was there something in the ACA that set those things in motion or was it private businesses that realized the ACA was making everything expensive and people need a cash option......

If the state governments could protect the Federal buildings properly we would not need to send troops. May I remind you of Seattle and the "Chaz" - took over several blocks, vandalized businesses, ran off police, rape and couple murders happened. All those businesses in that area were vandalized and closed for business. Do you recall in Minneapolis on 2020 protestors ran an entire police dept out of their building and burned it down. Would you rather your tax dollars send in troops to keep all of the above from happening or spend who knows how much more rebuilding parts of a city that if local law enforcement would have been able to do their job would of never happened?

I know everyone's situation is different. I, by choice, have put off a cat scan/MRI, whatever they were gong to do, on my chest because it's the end of the year and I have not came close to meeting my $3300 deductible. (not too serious, checking to see if I may have asthma). It makes zero sense to have the procedure this year, when if I have it in January the rest of that year all of my medical care will be free or close to it. Good thing it is not too urgent. It shouldn't be that way.....

Looks like your confusing your stories........ 5 hours ago it is now 7.00 which is ridiculous 3 hours ago it is $11.00 now It WAS 7.00 At this rate it is going to be $30 by nightfall......lol

Where are you shopping? Here is Degree Advanced MotionSense Antiperspirant Deodorant 4 Count 72-Hour Sweat And Odor Protection 4 pack - comes out to $4.98 a piece......You're welcome.... [Hidden Content]

I went last 10 Years......this better?

I'm not trying to gotcha.... Economy is strong and inflation is not 9% like under Biden..... The GDP is up over 4% from a year ago....Here is the last 10 years to show you what impact Biden had on it. Economy is fine. Trump is commanding a world stage. Once these trade deals get finalized, look out.

So you think people are being deported and coming back in......like during the Biden administration?

It is based on income, if she does not make much money - you and I are subsidizing her premiums. When it initiated, I went on to see if it was cheaper than my work plan.....and it was not - back then I would of paid over $800.00 a month with a ridiculous deductible. It is a low key form of socialism

@DCT -1991 - Helped us in Gulf War -1996 - Let us set up an airbase in their country (largest we have in the middle east) -2001 - after 911 they were a key player in counterterrorism..... Why can't we set up a training base for them like we have done for other ally countries?

Building a relationship with an ally in the middle east is not a bad thing. They built an air force base and let us use it. That would come in handy if we needed it due to a conflict. Also training their military would hopefully put less of our troops in harms way if something broke out in the middle east. Lets face it, the middle east is a time bomb.
