I'm in the burn it all down camp. If that means secession so be it. If it also means Civil War that'll suck but at least this crap will end.

Yeah, that was hilarious,
but to be honest, that could have happened to me too, and I suspect a lot of you.
Especially Anthony. (Hows that injury healing up Anthony)?
I tend to see a glimmer of optimism in the social wars.
Gay men in particular are coming out rejecting the trans movement, particularly with respect to grooming children.
San Francisco voters recalled a Soros-funded DA and kicked him out of office before the end of his first term. In San Francisco!
Ron DeSantis incurred slings and arrows in fighting the social wars, but still got a 6 week abortion ban passed in the state.
Conservatives have been nothing short of successful in rejecting the tranny lobby in killing Bud Light, and severely damaging Target. When has that ever happened before?
Oh shit. Sorry Rush!! I was just scrolling down on Tapatalk and thought to myself it was an awfully long post for Anthony, but I went with it.
Now it makes sense! Lol
Anthony, this is an outstanding post, and you read the room very well.
The only slight correction is I don’t mind that he has a “mean” personality if it is directed at the left, AND brings voters to his camp. If he pushes voters away, including those in the important middle, then it is simply self-destructive narcissism. So far his outright lies have been primarily directed at DeSantis, and they violate Reagan’s 11th commandment. If he thinks those things will galvanize us populists to him, he is sorely mistaken.
Otherwise, well done.
The RNC was on its last leg in 2016 when they thought everyone wanted Jeb!, yet another Bush.
Trump expanded the party to a level never seen, and invited many in. His “what have you got to lose” in telling minorities after years of democrat abuse brought even more in.
Of course the RNC wanted the voters, but in their true to form ideology they expected these new voters to go Jeb! and toss Trump aside.
In the meantime, we're now screwed as there will be no debt ceiling in place for a year and a half. Crank up the presses and the inflation and the interest rates.
The Senate approves it with a vote of 63-36. It passed with 46 Democrat and 17 Republican votes. So basically 65% of Republicans voted against it.
Balancing the budget would be a start. Spending above the budget incurs debt. The budget needs to address paying down the debt while remaining balanced.
This can easily be done. Stop sending money to countries that hate us. Stop funding meaningless grants in which there is no accountability. Stop sending money to other countries to build their border walls, or provide their infrastructure.
Stop funding proxy wars. Stop paying for other countries defense. Just those few things with a balanced budget would start paying down the debt.
Speaking of Corvettes, Mark just finished painting the body. He is fully restoring a 1980 model. I’m really proud of him, he’s worked very hard on it. Well I say finished, but it has to cure now, then I guess he polishes or some other step. He’s already done the frame, the brakes, the engine, I think the wiring harness is next.
Thanks! Short term, not much. But medium to long term a significant change to my standard of living. I appreciate the perspective at the very local level. I was having trouble caring about all the shouting.
Oh come on. He’s what, 30 points ahead of DeSantis and all the rest are jokes. He’s got the nomination in the bag. Apparently most Republicans think he’s the best for the country. As for winning the general, it’s not a sure thing DeSantis can win the general more than Trump can. They’re laying in all the plans to cheat, do you really think the Dems will say, “Oh, it’s DeSantis, well then he’s acceptable, we’ll stand down and let him win.”
I understand that this bill really sucks and does nothing to ensure that this country endures. It's a bad bill and the Republicans could have done much better if they had the stomach to actually fight for what's right.
But with the big picture out of the way, here's another question... How will this affect me? Really, how will all this budget crap in Washington do anything positive or negative for my life? Inflation goes up. Inflation goes down. Stocks go up. Stocks go down. In the small, so what? In the very VERY narrow focus of just me and my family, what will change?
Hahahahahahahahaha……
Oh my gosh.
It just gets stupider.
Hahahahaha…
