The Republicans need to win both sides of Congress first. Which percentage wise they'll likely keep the Senate so. You're probably right, there won't be one

Democrats promise free stuff that never happens to win votes, absolutely Trump should do the same. If you are too stupid to fall for it then that’s on you

Remember when we made fun the Dems for making false promises?


Good times.

When do the R's start adopting their platform too? I guess if republicans want to be the next democrats, that frees up the democrats to be communists.

There probably would not be one anyway. It would make the deficit and inflation worse.

Good.

What would be an ok idea is invest 5000 in the market instead of giving people 5k. The investment is made in the name of the person but they cannot access it. Then, later, the government cashes it out back to the treasury and splits the gain with the person. Like a supercharged savings bond. Except it's funded in reverse and the gains are market gains.

Nah, he will deliver, he knows if he doesn`t it will ruin the 2028 election.

Trump knows, money talks and BS walks and will have great support base on that come election time, even with people that don`t agree with some of his policies.
