quote:Oh look. Shapiro parroting the talking point. As SFP has continually asked: "on what?" There's a reason Obama ran on "Hope and change". Because it's vague, and literally anything you want can be projected on it. It's literally a Bernay's technique.
but Massie changed this second Trump term.

Trump can just declare the debt fraudulent and it goes away with no impact on anything.

How is the small government libertarian trying to turn our country into a communist country, and how is big-government, big spending Trump who has floated literal socialist policies, further away from Communism than Massie?

quote:Yep. That’s true.
Massie lost because we are in the middle of an ideology war with people who hate what our country represents. They have been trying for a decade to turn our country into a socialist communist country.
quote:
On "The Daily Show" Monday night, the liberal comic told self-described democratic socialist Bernie Sanders that Trump is carrying out the Vermont senator's "revolution."
"You could almost make a case that the true inheritor of the Sanders revolution is Trump," Stewart said.
"He is the most socialist president of my lifetime."
"Taking a percentage of companies to do business? That's a Bernie Sanders idea. Doing TrumpRx where the government is involved in selling pharmaceuticals? That's a Bernie Sanders idea."
Then Stewart doubled down.
"Is it frustrating that the thing that you fought for your whole career, Democrats are the ones who run away from scared and Trump has embraced some of it?" he asked.
quote:We have two DS parties now. Which one you want?
People are sick and fricking tired of these communists trying to overthrow our country

I agree with Loomer. Get these pseudolib RINOs out of office NOW! I would take a hundred Lindsey Grahams before a Rand or a Massie. The former cares about our country, the latter care about themselves.

It’s why i’m so entertained when they throw
out the “you hate Trump and have TDS” It’s so similar to when VegasBengal or BamaATL would throw out “you’re just a racist!” with any criticism of Obama back in the day. Exact. Same. Pathology.

That wasn't the claim. I claimed that Massie voted FOR the bill. Mo Jeaux said I was lying

Trump has ever made the claim of being a "principled conservative" like the Ivory Tower Massie.

SFP forgives. No need for self-immolation.

That's a much bigger deal than the rejection of fiscal conservatism. Trump's always spent like a Democrat and has no plans to deal with the deficit/debt.
It’s been around long enough I might have been defending Trump in it. :lol:

quote:I’m not sure where to start. The claim has consistently been that Massie provided the tie-breaking vote for the bill. He did not. (sorry I didn’t ELY5 rhe 314 votes quip) I clearly overestimated you.
No, no, no, no! I was called a LIAR because I said Massie voted for Biden's Spending bill, which he did.
Second, it wasn’t a “spending bill” it was a debt ceiling bill.
quote:Oh the horror! Meanwhile, Trump backed CR’ing Biden’s budget 3x Remind me again who voted for “Biden’sspending”?
Budgetary Impact
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that the act would reduce projected budget deficits by roughly \(\$1.5\) trillion over the 10-year period from 2024 to 2033, primarily by capping discretionary spending and scaling back certain government programs.
quote:Of course not. No one expects him to have any ideological consistency. :lol:
This ain't about Trump.
quote:Still more principled on spending Trump had :lol:
Your boy Massie was only principled when it came to Trump.

Yeah. There's this other chamber called... the Senate. Policy has to pass that chamber too.

Rand is too "principled" for productive compromise. He is just another controlled opposition puppet put in place to prevent any progress.
