    What a great guy! So glad he finally spoke up for the regular people! I really hope he’s elected again and maybe even becomes president! or even better he just kills himself!

      he spoke up in concern for his own job, if the grease stops flowing in he may actually live in the state he’s supposed to be representing.

    Senator Rand Paul said something similar earlier.

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/04/05/rand-paul-trump-tariff-canada/82943622007/

    “Tariffs have… led to political decimation. When (President William) McKinley most famously put tariffs on in 1890, they lost 50% of their seats in the next election,” Paul told reporters a day after Trump’s announcement, later adding “So they’re not only bad economically; they’re bad politically.”

        McKinley is actually Trump’s idol. On his very first day back in office one of his first EOs was to rename Mount Denali to Mount McKinley. it isn’t a coincidence that Trump also loves tariffs.

    We vote out all Republicans because they destroyed the economy. Democrats set economy on recovery path. We vote out all democrats because the recovery wasn’t near fast enough, republicans undo all recovery. Rinse and repeat.

      We vote out democrats because they only care about their stock portfolios, the rich, and israel. they did nothing about food prices, rent prices, education prices, healtcare prices, or anything else that affected the everyday person. But hey! the stock market was GREAT!

      The dem establishment are losers - they appeal to no one but milquetoast centrists. NOTE: I held my nose and voted Dem. I wont be wasting my time with that anymore.

        I don’t think dems are amazing or anything. But you can go back and look at the economy dems vs rep and see what I said is true.

        We don’t vote for democrats because we like democrats.

        We vote for democrats to exterminate the modern republican party.

        We are not the same.

          except they don’t. They appoint lapdog republican AGs and do NOTHING about the extistential crisis the R represent.

            I think they make the mistake of assuming the Dixiecrats are human, which is stupid.

            But a lot of people make that mistake, we think they’re just normal Americans, even when they’re basically worse than the nazis and were only held back because they never had that much power (till now).

    If you listen to Ted Cruz more, things will slowly begin to make sense, as you lose your sanity.
