This might be the worst take I’ve ever seen. If your government goes over budget the tax payers bail them out, if your average Joe goes over budget… he’s completely fucked with no help. I think your average joe off the street could budget better than the government.

@Billybobwalter1 @AlishaLoui95487 @A64291666A Not true. Your average Joe has zero idea how to manage a 6 billion dollar annual budget, how to work with departments, or how to navigate political procedure. It would be a train wreck.

@marklevinshow Or, Republicans could grow a pair and pass legislation, given they control every branch of government. The problem isn't Democrats. It's Republicans.

ADVICE TO SENATE REPUBLICANS No compromise with the Democrats.  They intentionally defunded and seek to shut down the TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, and Secret Service. Republicans should turn to their biggest donors to raise the funds to run NONSTOP television, radio, and internet ads exposing the Democrats for what they're doing -- intentionally creating chaos, eliminating transportation security, eliminating protection on our coastlines, and so forth.  This should be very easy to do.  The Democrats are actively trying to confuse the public, with the help of their big media, claiming they want to fund these agencies but are blocked by the Republicans.  ENOUGH of their lies and propaganda.  TAKE THEM ON AND EXPOSE THEM!  They must not get away with this kind of horrendous blackmail and war on the public.

"Female bodies are just as strong and fast and capable as male bodies." - State Senator Lindsay Williams in PA today If this were the case, why were women's sports created in the first place? They just say words and expect us to nod along.

In America today, you could miss your flight because Democrats want to make it harder to stop deporting illegal aliens who commit crimes against Americans. Democrats’ priorities are truly shocking.

@mitchellvii Nancy Pelosi managed to navigate the establishment. This is a Thune problem, or he's taking the fall because @POTUS wants it to fail.

What people don't seem to understand is that John Thune is not the problem in the Senate. John Thune is the symptom of the problem in the Senate. The problem in the Senate is that we have too many establishment senators that have been there for decades and they don't like Trump. They're owned by the multinational corporations and don't want MAGA nationalism. If we get rid of Thune we'll just get someone else just like him.

@bennyjohnson Why is @POTUS so weak on this. Thune looks like the alpha dog. He's either lost his edge, or he doesn't want the SAVE Act passed and wants Thune to take the heat. In either case, he's bleeding support daily.

DHS Secretary Mullin says reconciliation can be used to finally secure our elections as U.S. citizens have overwhelmingly demanded: “There’s nothing more important than the SAVE America Act. That’s what the American people want. 80% of the population say they want only Americans voting.”

Democrats are going to have another chance tomorrow to support election integrity by implementing a commonsense photo ID requirement. Will they stand with Americans? Or will they continue to oppose any meaningful ID requirement at the polls?

I think if Robert Wessels becomes the republican candidate for governor he could actually sway moderate democrats. He’s grass roots common fucking sense. He’d get more spotlight. I think old school democrats are actually looking for common sense and grass roots right now.

@jimiuorio They already raise the age and contribution limit on that cohort. Definitely not fair to do it again.

I’m not opposed to adjustments to social security. Raise the age slightly is fine but you can’t do it to anyone who is already within 15-20 years of retirement…they made plans and participated in the system they were given…

@ChrisMartin1961 You created and left us with a pile of shit that was created on your watch. You offshored our jobs, ran up 39 trillion in debt and left Social Security insolvent. You're right,vwe need to solve it. Now, get out of the way.

@Billybobwalter1 No, but I know that the candidate with the most money is most likely to win. He's not even in the game with $16k. That's just the reality of politics. You don't have to like it, but it's true.

@Billybobwalter1 I agree with you on that, but that's not what you initially said. The fact he has no money is a reflection of experience. He doesn't know how to raise money and money wins elections.

@cat_barnes30 Apparently, @POTUS is weaker than @LeaderJohnThune. Not a good look for Trump. He's lost all but the hardcore MAGA at this point, after abandoning America First.

I just got home and did a quick read of this unfathomable situation, so feel free to correct me if I get anything wrong. The deal being considered right now is absolutely abhorrent. Congress would reopen the DHS, but WITHOUT a penny of funding going to ICE. (UNACCEPTABLE) Then, they're talking about passing a watered-down version of the SAVE America Act under the "reconciliation" process, where the govt. would provide (now get this) "financial incentives to states" to implement voter ID requirements.... WITHOUT requiring registration to prove you are a citizen of the United States! This is all theatrics and nothing more. At least they get their 14-day vacation this way.... rather than spending it on the Senate floor debating the issue with the democrats! I'm done.

@Billybobwalter1 You'd attract a lot more competent people into politics, if it paid well, and you'd have less incentive to accept money from special interest. Not sure how that's relevant to this discussion. I stick by my assessment. Wessels won't be the candidate. We'll see who's right.

@toddstarnes You mean to tell me Trump can strong arm Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba, but the master of the deal can't handle Thune? I didn't think he was that weak. Trump must want this and Thune is taking the heat. I'm not turning up for a party that won't turn up for us. Trump made his bed.

Senate Republicans never had any intention of passing the Save America Act. And there will likely not be any other votes of consequence between now and the midterms. Make no mistake, John Thune and his leadership team have betrayed the American people and their president. And they don't care - not one bit. They sabotaged the president's agenda - from day one. Their behavior may likely cost Republicans the House and the Senate. And they deserve to lose. However, President Trump does not deserve to be impeached and that's exactly what would happen if the Democrats regained control. So, we can't let that happen -- for Donald Trump's sake. Let's spare President Trump and the First Lady the agony of endless investigations and trumped up charges. Reelect the gutless guttersnipes. We can deal with the jackassery of Thune and his cowardly band of traitors in 2028. Our president deserved better. And so did America First voters. We got screwed by the Republicans.
