Kentucky Senate Democrat switches parties to GOP in major blow to Dem Gov Andy Beshear


"First and foremost, I’m a mother, a rancher and a lawyer with deep personal and professional roots in Kentucky’s coal country," Webb explained. "As the Democratic Party continues its lurch to the left and its hyperfocus on policies that hurt workforce and economic development in my region, I no longer feel it represents my values.

This is simply awesome, and will get plastered all over my social media pages.
 
I'll bet you remember Reagan, don't you. I guess you got a special thrill when you hear Trump telling the West Point cadets about trophy wives-the one subject he may actually have some expertise. I suspect he was talking about himself, but who knows with someone that unstable. Again, none of that is relevant to a discussion on Trumps heavy handed attempts to undo our constituion.

You hang on his every word.
But Democrathy!
Hahahahahaha!

So, according to you, Trump is a drooling vegetable while simultaneously running circles around all the levers of power to turn himself into a dictator.


I get all that right?
 
hahaha look who suddenly cares about the debt
I didn’t state that I care or don’t care about the debt, I’m just stating that a large and growing debt comes with the tradeoff of higher interest rates. I took money and banking to get my BS in Economics. I’m just explaining to you and others what is going on and why interest rates will rise in mortgages and auto loans regardless of Fed action if the gigantic deficits continue to grow and the trade deficit is purposefully shrunk. It’s just a fact. You can make your own opinion on whether or not you like that tradeoff.
 
But what makes one "qualified"? Being a lifelong Politician? We got where we are today because we let career politicians run things. Ploitics was never intended to ba a career path. it was intended to be a civil service job with an expiration date. but we failed in putting term limits in place to fix the problem of people making a career out of it and being allowed to amass great wealth by grifting.
IKE was a decorated General. JFK was a Senator, but war hero. I don't know what the magic formula is, but Kamala didn't have "it" and Trump? IDK, but remain glad Kamala is out.
 
Good Lord. The act specifically gives him the right to do what he’s doing. He doesn’t have to specify which act he’s issuing them under. That’s ridiculous. If he refers to them as reciprocal then this act applies. You know, rule of law.
Actually you’re wrong. The President has to invoke which law they are using to impose tariffs. Im
Not sure why you’re arguing this.

This is in fact the executive order signed by Trump on Liberation Day (linked below from Whitehouse.gov). Paragraph 1 sentence 1 states the following:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)(IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.)(NEA), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,

The International Emeergency Economic Powers Act is not the Repricol Tarrifs Act. You know the rule of law and all.

I do love how confidently wrong you are though. You should look up a lot of things you believe to be true. Might learn a few things.

 
Instead of reciting the party line back at me, where is your list of convictions? How about the many indictments for all this fraud? After all, we were told that there was well over a trillion in waste, fraud, and abuse. Surely there must hundreds since Elon and Big Bals have been been in all of our data bases for the past five months or so.

I mean, call me names all you want..but it until you show some receipts, it's pretty hollow.

You delusionally believe everyone not lock step with your fake news "reality" are all in agreement with some imaginary tribe mandate. You are merely splashing around at the surface with zero comprehension of the true depth and complexity of everything at play. Just because no rational person plays along with your TDS driven extreme exaggeration of every criticism and accusation doesn't mean anyone is claiming him to be perfect.
 
No one is hyperventilating, champ, and the only rage posting I see, outside of the rightwing nut jobs on this board is your seemingly adderall addicted bleating in the wee hours of the morning about the country he pretends to love, enough though over half of us disagree with his horrible behavior

But then, you have to cover your tracks somehow if you support a sexual assaulter and felon, so I understand you have to make sh*t up.
More unhinged tantrums. I can almost see the spittle.
I sincerely hope you are young and can grow out of this hysteria.
Oh and
happy lemon cake GIF

My best guess is that she'll be a solid RINO.

I know you love to play word games, Counselor, is a concern worth declaring a national emergency and to give the President more power than he already has? We have trade deficits with many countries, because-here's a shocker-We are a richer country than most and we buy more from many countries than they buy from us. Not only that, in the 80's we started shipping our jobs to south east Asia and Latin America so that our CEOs could make even more money by paying their new employees slave wages, and not having to worry with those pesky environmental issues. Again, not close to a national emergency.
We need to be closer to self-sufficiency in technology areas & production thereof for security. Since we're richer as you say, we should spend here on these things & to hell with cheaper goods from elsewhere in these areas.

I have to believe there is some sort of stunted emotional development at work here with a lot of the extreme left. It's a textbook temper tantrum mixed with politics. Tantrums are a way of not only venting frustration, but a means of emotional manipulation in lieu of the ability to persuade through reasoning. If I can't convince you of the superiority of my ideas, I must demonize yours. I will shriek about Hitler, fascism, and race ad nauseum as those are the typical far left canards when all else fails. It need not have any resemblance to reality. But if I pound and scream, and yell about it enough, maybe I can emotionally manipulate someone into believing it might be true if I'm acting this way. Maybe if we are actually attempting to murder our political opponent on rally rooftops or golf courses, it's because he must be that bad. Maybe if we are waging lawfare to incarcerate our political opponent, it's because he must be a criminal. Maybe if we try to frame him with foreign collusion, it must be true. With the modern day left you are either dealing with emotionally stunted children, or pure psychopaths and seemingly not too much in between.
 
Today is true Decoration Day for me. All my ancestors called it such.

Also FIL's 111th birthday. He's not with us any more. Served in 45th Medical Evac Unit in Europe in WW2 as X-ray technician. They were at Buchenwald when it was liberated and treated survivors. The pictures he had were quite disturbing. Had a Nazi insignia knife. All those things went to his son.

And as I pointed out earlier, DOGE has ZERO power to make the actual cuts. They were tasked with finding savings. They found savings. It’s up to Congress to make the savings happen, and they simply don’t want to do that. You know that, but you don’t care.

I love when people reject their own words and claim foul.

You accuse people of demonizing your ideas and then call those same people emotionally stunted children and psychopaths. Hypocrisy knows no bounds when it comes to politics 😂

Not that it's any of my business, but am I the only person that thinks he is a closeted homosexual, or is it just me?
He might be, but he's at least been married to two different women for most of his life, which is more than I can say for Lindsey Graham. And if he is some percent homosexual, then at least he's not in your face about his sexuality. At a minimum, he's very flamboyant, and it's really the only reason that he's "famous."

Is it possible that DOGE wanted to go after Medicaid and Medicare but was put off by Trump? So far they have both been spared any serious cuts but both are rife with fraud, especially Medicare. That would certainly account for their estimates.

Perhaps try reading more carefully before responding. " If I can't convince you of the superiority of my ideas, I must demonize yours." I'm accusing them of the rote demonization of Trump (you can insert Musk or whomever in here as well), not my ideas. Which was kind of the point. Slander and demonization of individuals, not an argument against concepts or ideas.
Do you honestly believe the last firebombing of a Tesla dealership was a reasoned reaction to the attempt to save American taxpayer money from and or corruption? An action carried out because of ideas, OR the actions carried out by an angry and immature person whipped into a Pavlovian frenzy? And yes, some of these people are psychopaths as well, unless you think trying to assassinate your political adversary is perfectly normal mental behavior.

"RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions." Alinsky (12 rules for radicals) <------another psychopath.
 
Yeah...I don't like this at all. I thought that I understood Musk's motivations for what he is doing, but Theil and company's motivations were more of a mystery. I guess this was it, or part of it anyway.

Minority Report becoming reality.

Kamala was just an abject moron. She needed to be nowhere near the Whitehouse. Trump is an established businessman who runs a billion dollar empire and who has had a keen interest in American politics and foreign affairs. He isn’t bought and paid for by lobbyists. To me that qualifies him for the job. I would go so far to say that the fact he’s so vilified and hated by the left and the media proves and exposes what’s been our government and media’s problem for so long. The Government was no longer of, by and for the people. Trump is trying to fight through all the obstruction to get the Government back to where it belongs. And tell me who’s been better with foreign policy than Trump?
