How do these ranting lunatic haters think we will get one iota of influence from them, they, who advocate terrorists in our lands and all else. They contribute nothing. What do I mean??

Here is their little girl AOC's platform. Notice No Mention of improving our country,, she is the exact opposite of Maximus Trump.

Free Medi ...[text shortened]... Leaving job creators to create jobs. Add some more if you like, all Maximum Trump ideas, of course.
I forget the exact figures for yearly US aid to Puerto Rico, but it's enough to make every man woman child very well off by their standards. trouble is it just gets swallowed up by graft and incompetence, and all they do is scream that it's not enough and they want more.
Just like Africa. ...Or should we call that continent African't?

Forget the distinction that Puerto Ricans are all US citizens?

US states most reliant on federal funding are largely GOP-run states.
In 2021, Montana led the states with the highest proportion of federal funding to the overall budget at 31.8%, followed by New Mexico (30.7% ), Kentucky (30.1% ), Louisiana (29.8% ), and Alaska (29.0% ).

I don’t get your question. Actually, when it really starts to be painful I do kinda let up and go get a nice glass of water and watch the news. So not real pain in the true sense of the word, but exertion, enough to know I will be rewarded with unexplainable satisfaction. It definitely improves my state of mind, kind of like a little pain in our country will improve our state of the union. I think I said that right.
I'm surprised you're still saying this out loud.

Oh, if the Bill does NOT pass? He will have done all he can do....he (and you) need a few democrats to get it passed. He will have FAILED! You will get your wish. Y'all can celebrate through the night, but be sure to catch the next day's news.............................that your taxes will have no recourse but to INCREASE.

Geez
You are insane, do you know that?

I saw no benefit from his first tax cut for the rich, and I'm not gonna see any benefit from this one, either.

You're selling something that will never get delivered.

No, thank you.


I'd rather see him release the 400 billion or so that Congress has already appropriated. Fund the agencies, already.


Why doesn't Hakeem , instead of playing Patty Cake on the steps, set about creating an alternative budget to run on? Why do y'all do nothing but go after Trump. Or, stop the move to put boys in girls showers Or stop railing on about sex changes. Or not put Garcia on your bingo cards. Or figure out a way to support sheriffs and law enforcement???
My granny rode by the Capitol, and sure enough, he sat there for 12 hours. Drawing a salary, I think.//Now THERE is a waste that DOGE should go after.

To be fair, he's not saying it out loud, he's writing it on an anonymous internet forum.

All the trumpers I know are having second thoughts. Not Joe though. Joe would believe the 10 under par scorecard from Trump's recent golf outing as legitimate and say he was getting work done at the same time.

This is the behavior we used to laugh at north Korea about, happening here now.
