Just a reminder. This is going to take more than 1 year of Trump to fix.


We have a lot of work to do. Some of you have unborn children that will need to vote the right way too.

Woodrow Wilson did a number on us during his terms in office. Consider that these amendments were ratified here as the communists were building up to depose the czar and create the Soviet Union. That makes me wonder what, exactly, we had running our country in actuality during that same time period.

Then, in less than 20 years, FDR begins putting forward a multitude of social(ist) programs that have performed exceptionally well at emptying our nation's coffers and the pockets of the working American citizens.

Wilson got in office in 1912 because T. Roosevelt and Taft split the conservative vote when Roosevelt ran as a "Bull Moose", then defeated former associate justice of the Supreme Court Charles Evans Hughes by a very narrow margin in 1916. Needless to say, he was not as popular a president as people seem to think.


Communist have been playing the long game. This has been in the works for over 100 years. No one will change it back overnight.

Meanwhile, Congress passes involuntary draft registration, during a war no less. They can’t find the time for the SAVE act, but they can send our sons off to wars of choice.

They are the enemy of the people.

I hope so. I put a wager on it on Kalshi.
I stand to make a nice little chunk if it passes.

ETA: the betting odds have been hovering around 11% for awhile now. The highest I saw it go was 14%.

Trump endorsed Kennedy. Trump is endorsing Letlow. Where are these radicals and why didn't Trump endorse them?

But here's Kennedy on the SAVE Act

These people on this list have cheated their way into their positions. There is no other explanation.

The other explanation is that they think the filibuster is important as a hedge against extremism and the tyranny of the majority. The filibuster - and two democrat senators opposed to bypassing it - are what prevented Biden’s $3 trillion BBB.

So, once again, the Republican party successfully duped the people that voted for them by putting Democrats in these roles to pose as Republicans.

I wonder how much they are being paid to keep supporting non-citizens.

No, these people are against forcing a filibuster. Not doing away with the filibuster. They don't want to make the Democrats stand up there and debate it until they drop.

So right now we supposedly have 50 Senators who want to pass this, but if it were to go to a filibuster we would have several turncoats. These people do not want to pass this under any circumstances. They're all frickin crooked.


Like I have been saying. They sacrifice a couple of "republicans" on key votes. People complain "oh, it was so close _______ screwed us". True he did screw us, but guess what there were many others waiting in the wings if _____ hadn't voted against the people. It just so happened _______ was the one singled out to take all the heat.

I laugh when people say "republicans" have both houses. Nope the dims still control both.

Been arguing for years that the filibuster was only to provide shade and it needs to be done away with.

Louisiana is on the bottom of almost every list of what is good. But, we require i.d. to vote and our voting results are complete by the next moring after election day.

If we can do it, other states can.

I certainly hope it could be leveraged against him. It's beginning to become apparent that the GOPe is just biding time and stalling on SAVE until they can throw the midterms and then complain about how they can't pass SAVE because Democrats have the majority.

And as an aside, unfortunately it won't get any better from my great State of Oklahoma. If Mullin gets the appointment and leaves the Senate, I'm hearing that the frontrunners to campaign for his seat are Kevin Hern (R-OK) and Stephanie Bice (R-OK). Hern has a "low B" liberty score, and Bice (my direct representative) maintains a "low C" grade.

We are the reddest State in the Union, but we keep putting RINOs and the equivalent of blue-dog Democrats in D.C.. James Lankford is an absolute atrocity.
