Hopefully we get a federal government that finally has real gridlock and Trump grows a set of balls to become a veto machine like Grover Cleveland was.

Dude loves spending, though, so the optimism isn't all that high.

We’re putting it all on Michelle Tafoya.

So you're excited about no funding for ICE & DHS?

And what else? Throw another trillion or two on top of funding those things?

At some point, we're going to need to wake up and realize government isn't going to save us.

You’ll definitely get gridlock.

This might be the craziest thing anyone's ever said here.

Exactly who is it you think is supposed to be enforcing our federal borders, if it isn't the federal government?

Isn't ICE funded through '29?

But, let's say they aren't. Then it's up to the states and the people w/in those states.

Democrats just won big time. Do you think this is a good or bad sign of the direction this country is headed down?

I get that it's no fun to think about, but we're clearly on the wrong track and the more influence Democrats have, the worse things are going to be.

The federal government will want to further stomp on our throats.

They are already fully funded for the remained of Trump's term.

Texas just went blue. They aren't going to be defending the border.

Honestly way more disheartened by the men on an LSU football board celebrating a Talarico win than the results themselves

If that's a barometer we are well beyond screwed and election outcomes are irrelevant

We're gonna find out who Trump really is. It's all on his shoulders for sure now.

I can't imagine calling yourself a man and voting for someone like Talafreako. What a disgusting piece of garbage. Talk about voting for an abomination.

Yep, which is why I also said "and the people w/in those states".

I mean, this is just the reality, bud.

I get that the pendulum swings, but that pendulum is inside of Overton's Window which is almost always moving Left.

No one's going to risk going to prison or getting killed by our own troops to defend the border.
