Minnesota is a national embarrassment.

Disrupting the efforts of agents trying to make our country safer should result in a bad outcome and it did. I do hope the dog was ok in the car though.

I completely agree that prancing around with signs or even worse actively interfering is NOT the way to get what you want.

And messing around its cops trying to do their jobs might get you hurt. And even if you are really, really right, dead is really really dead.

And just like I said a couple days ago, it’s the judges. If this woman had been arrested, 99% of the judges make some bs excuse for her and apologize to her for the inconvenience. Emboldening more bs in our little culture of non-compliance. And before someone says it, this wasn’t free speech.

I don't even think it would be that difficult. The middle majority is tired of the chaos. The first party to give us a charismatic candidate who appeals to the middle majority will win. The Democrats are a bunch of disparate groups who generally hate each other. The republicans have a chance to permanently pull the unions out of the Democratic party while keeping the national security republicans in the GOP. But my god, they are doing everything they can to screw it up. The Dems are in total disarray, and this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the GOP to build a solid majority that can bulldoze the radical left and start to repair the damage they've done.

We tried the middle repubs. Bush, Romney, Mccain. Give me Trump every day.

I hate to be this guy…but Trump is more socialist than conservative. His stance on government intervention on business is staggering. Between government ownership, telling military contractors how much the ceo can earn and how they can structure their shares to telling credit card companies they need to pause their rates at 10%, etc, he’s more aligned with mandomi than a true conservative.
Oh all of that was things he’s done this week alone.

 

[Mortenson]

Aren't military contractors basically govt companies?

I can tell you JD Vance will be tough to beat, and another possible candidate is Marco Rubio …He (Marco) has the best overall approval rating of any politician!

Vance has an impressive resume. Yale grad, author, movie about his life, military experience, Senator, VP, extremely successful in debates.

He’s going to be tough. He beat Walz so bad in the debate Timmy looked like a deer in the headlights ! He actually said “I’ve become friends with school shooters” !

Trump won, twice. Bush won, twice. Romney would have been a great president, but he was about as charismatic as a dishtowel. I was living overseas during the McCain election, so I didn't see much of his TV presence. I think Trump won because he is charismatic and appealed to the middle majority, but he can't run again. And I think his message is a bit incoherent compared to what is needed to solidify a voter base and a political party.

Most Americans just want stability and the ability to afford a comfortable life. The next charismatic candidate to offer a coherent message and a clear plan to give us that will win the election, regardless of the party. Both parties were shattered in the 2016 election. A lot of voter groups are up for grabs, and the parties are reshuffling. So far the Republicans are winning, but just barely. I'd like to see them solidify their new base and keep power for at least the next decade.

I don’t think anyone would be able to beat JD in a debate.
He is amazing at it and crazy smart with lighting fast facts.

Desantos would make a good running mate and he is a veteran.
One of these days eight or ten years from now I could see Caroline Levitt making a good running mate.

No but they have powerful lobbyists. I don't like that Trump is trying to force them to upgrade facilities and cap CEO pay. But I get it the are almost as behemoth as the federal government. I sold components to all the big ones. Raytheon, General Dynamics, Lockheed etc. They are all the same as far as military programs and contracts go. Always way behind on promised delivery dates and excessively over budget. I swear they planned over budget into the profit center.

Been a minute since I've been involved but I doubt much has changed.

I totally disagree. We absolutely need this kind of regulation and forward thinking.

Government ownership of company shares is not new at all, and it's a fantastic way for the government to have a sovereign wealth fund to draw from instead of taking more taxes from the people.

Military contractors make insane amounts of money off the government, and we are getting screwed by it. Limiting the inflated salaries of the CEOs is good for the American taxpayers.

Pausing credit card rates at 10% prevents predatory lending on the most financially vulnerable Americans.

None of this is socialist. It's populist, and Trump is a populist president. And all three of these examples are good for the American people.

I think he has a decent chance. Unfortunately, the memory of him that stands out most to me is his embarrassing behavior during that Zelensky visit way back when. But he definitely has enough time to polish himself up and be a solid candidate.

I don't know much about Desantis, but holy jeez is he popular in Florida. His numbers are amazing.

I'm far from a sympathizer but I did watch the first vid that came out and even the other officers freaked.No attempting to get out of the way when it takes half a step and you walked in front of the vehicle and then shooting that driver is BS and I would bet that a regular police officer would and has been charged.I also don't hardly believe any picture anymore with AI whether it's something I'm for or against.So you can call me what ever you want but lets stop the criminals first.

 

[buckdeer1]

What! Your whole statement borders on the ridiculous

Yes look at the entire vid it was a totally unorganized road blockage,are you really saying with 10 ICE guys in the road she didn't have to stop. Also yes her tires were turned away from the ICE officer that was by her car but the other guy came from other side and walked in front of her.He walked away but they said he was transported to hospital,Didn't look too injured
