MAGA R.I.P. need America First Party

[Bitterhook]

I agree that the more we send to the states, like Education money and delete the Department of Education, the better.

It could be done in phases, weaning the states off Federal dollars, but it would be a Battle Royale.

Oh, it is too big of a job to all be done at once, and the Department of Education would be a decent place to start. It's just an overreach of the federal government and not a specific task given to the federal government in the Constitution. But then again neither is healthcare, poverty, working conditions and wages, along with a much greater list of overreaching. There are many issues that cause problems, and the people could have more say and be more satisfied with the results when handling them in the democracies of the states instead of the federal government of our republic.

It's been allowed to progress and worsen over time due to a misinterpretation of the General Welfare Clause. They put the word general in there for a reason. General welfare is welfare for all. like roads and infrastructure, but it in no way should be assumed it makes one person liable for another person's debt or burden and thus become individual welfare under the disguise of a general good.

However, I am not foolhardy enough to believe that everything can be rectified, although that is no excuse to not to properly address some things we can in the appropriate manner.

How about the Democrats getting serious with America?

I think the last one to sail that boat was JFK.

I think he was the last democrat to cut taxes. I could be wrong, but I think I'm not.

Iran was not a war, it was a removal of their nuclear weapons program
Israel/Gaza was not a US war either
Ukraine was giving military aid to weaken Russia without risking US lives, but not a war.
Venezuela could be a necessary regime change of a narco-state, but not a real war

That's exactly the kind of mealy-mouthed, Clinton-esque semantic fudging crap that's turning off the younger voters....2026 is lost without them.

2,000,000 illegals deported is action.

When over 20 million are here, that's rookie numbers.

Michelle Obama is a woman, isn't she?

I ain't no biologist.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Well Trump pretended that’s what he was but we learned the hard way he wasn’t

Astronomical amount, perhaps $2 Trillion in Medicaid sent overseas, $4 Trillion in untraceable payments sent last year, hundreds of thousands illegally received, an entire taxpayer funded infrastructure dedicated to transporting illegals from all over the world to America, HHS knowingly trafficking children, and so on…

And no one held to account

Got a link to any of those fantasies? Your numbers exceed the annual federal budget, you dipshit!

I think he was the last democrat to cut taxes. I could be wrong, but I think I'm not.

Under President Clinton there was the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 which cut the top long-term capital gains rate (from 28% to 20%), created the Roth IRA, and introduced the child tax credit and home-sale exclusions, among other provisions.

Edit:
However, I should include it is more the result of Speaker Gingrich's efforts in House in achieving a 90% approval in what was a simple majority vote, with only 42 Democrats voting 'nay'. It probably wouldn't have made a difference if President Clinton vetoed it because it most likely would have survived a super majority vote if returned to Congress.

That's what I thought, still peddling your smut.

Destroyed your own premise.

Are you suggesting that our founding fathers were not concerned with the problems associated with foreign influence, or that they didn't take the sovereignty of our republic seriously?

250 years ago has nothing to do with a wide open border in 2028. And that's going to be the choice, elect the democrats and the border is thrown open again.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The number, from DOGE, was since 2003

You’re welcome

 

[Bitterhook]

Yeah, but controlling the border and protecting our sovereignty is not conservatism, it is the government exercising the power it has been granted doing a job it is entitled to do. It protects our republic and its citizens foremost, and not the liberty and freedom of foreign nationals.

That doesn't change no matter when you look at it, just like border issues are not the only concern of modern conservatives or progressive liberals, most of which are neither conservative nor liberal by any classic definition, and more authoritarian in nature.

So where is the link?

True but unlike the D Party who never turns against party leadership ever, at least some Rs are turning away from Dumb Don.

Slight distinction between the two sides of the uniparty, but somewhat commendable.

"Dumb Don", who rescued us from the potential presidencies of two of the worst people in American political history, Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, who won two and very possibly three national elections?
That "Dumb Don"?

 

[kyzr]

That's exactly the kind of mealy-mouthed, Clintonesque semantic fudging crap that's turning off the younger voters, 2026 is lost without them.

We'll see. I see Turning Point having very well attended rallies.
I see NYC college protests with Palestinian flags and chants "from the river to the sea Palestine shall be free"
The military had a ground-swell of volunteers to fill out the ranks after years of missing goals.
Young people aren't falling for the democrat nonsense.

When over 20 million are here, that's rookie numbers.

Biden's open borders just added 12,000,000. People want them gone. 2,000,000 a year would set a record, plus the border is closed tight, no new entries.

Voting for the lesser evil has never worked.

 

[Lockback]

Voting for the lesser evil has never worked.

Actually, it does.
I cannot fathom having Kamala Harris as our President right now.
It makes me nauseous.
Or Hillary?
Please. That corrupt, horrible person??

 

[Billiejeens]

Please explain what a “serious GOP” looks like to you….

Democrats

 

[Billiejeens]

You're right, the GOP has never been a serious party.

It would have been nice if they had been less serious regarding subhumans

 

[Billiejeens]

they were serious enough to end slavery

Everyone makes mistakes.

 

[gipper]

Many say the exactly the same things about Donny. At any rate, you’re still voting for evil either way.

When I voted, I voted for the lesser evil as you dummies still do. I’m ashamed to admit who I voted for over the years but I was stuck in the uniparty matrix, like you dummies still are.
