A reminder that these fucking people will do anything other than their actual jobs or pass a budget on time and in balance.

🤣

Don't blame me for your shitty candidates that can't win clear majorities despite all the structural and financial advantages they have. For most of this century, elections have been close and control of the federal government has gone back and forth among the Democrats and Republicans because both parties offer less and less to fewer and fewer voters. Trump is not Hitler and Harris is not Madame Mao, but they are incredibly mediocre and uncompelling. Neither has a compelling vision for America that does not revolve around spending gobs and gobs more money; intervening in the wars they prefer; building up the businesses they like; fucking over the people they don't like; propping up insolvent and unjust entitlement programs that steal from the young and poor and give to the old and the rich; and fueling culture wars by lying about immigrants eating cats, threatening to pull licenses on TV stations, colluding with social media and legacy media, and forcing mandates on this or that. Dems and Reps, who are losing market share with every passing year, exist only to fight over the dwindling number of dead-enders in their increasingly awful tribes. Either party could have easily won my vote by seriously talking about cutting the size, scope, and spending of govt rather than giving away even more money we can't afford; unequivocally supporting free speech in all its expressions; slashing business regulations (including existing and future tariffs); maximizing individual lifestyle freedom; and promoting more legal immigration. I'm happy to have written in @LPNational @ChaseForLiberty, whose platform most closely resembles the government I want to live under. He has no chance of winning of course, but every ballot for him is a marker on the eventual future of smaller, leaner, more effective government that will come when our overblown, unaffordable, and ruefully incompetent government finally collapses under its own weight.

Ok Trump, your turn to drop out. We could start over.

Idiocracy wasn't a comedy. It was a prophecy.

If the Democratic Party takes Trump as a threat to Western democracy as seriously as they say, they should put up their absolute best candidate. They have not.

Post an album cover containing no words, that ISN'T Abbey Road, The Dark Side Of The Moon or Led Zeppelin IV.

Hey @AppleNews. This is not a great user experience.

This is the fucking dumbest thing I've read in a long time. wfla.com/news/politics/flori…

Our government spends nearly a trillion dollars a year in "defense", and is paralyzed in fear over a balloon. This is who you think will protect you against invasion?

Click the whole thread. End qualified immunity. Require police have liability insurance, paid for by themselves, not the taxpayers. If you can't get insurance, because of too many incidents, you can't be a cop. End police unions.

I have no words…

For four straight years, the longest streak in history, Speaker Pelosi has not allowed a single amendment to be offered from the House floor. Democracy didn’t die in darkness; it died right in front of our eyes, in the Capitol, with so many in the media watching and applauding.

There are already countless reasons to oppose the NDAA. Here’s one more: Congressional leaders can’t even muster the courage to repeal the 2002 AUMF against Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq, a government that was defeated and dissolved a generation ago.

Concentrated power has decimated the House, turning legislators into actors. Here’s how many votes the speaker has allowed on floor-offered (not prescreened) amendments/year: 2011: 414 2012: 153 2013: 61 2014: 96 2015: 94 2016: 29 2017: 0 2018: 0 2019: 0 2020: 0 2021: 0 2022: 0
