Wow. There's stupid and then there's those that broadcast to the world. You people would literally vote for a head of lettuce and bottle of dressing if they put a (D) behind it.

Hard to say it’s MSNBC when a guy is rallying for his political enemies to be investigated and sentenced for simply disagreeing with him It’s just stupid rhetoric he keeps putting out there for no reason



He’s already been president once. He wasn’t a dictator then and won’t be this time. Only idiots believe MSNBC.

A current member of the House of Representatives sincerely believes that the weather is manmade. She wasn't taken out of context, she wasn't being sarcastic or tongue in cheek, and she didn't simply misspeak. She straight up, undeniably believes that some sinister cabal of government scientists can create and manipulate a goddamn hurricane. I'll give you three guesses about which party she belongs to.

So you’re saying if she believes this then anybody that’s a republican believes this also?

I’ll do you one better than that. Anyone that believes a biological man can be changed to a woman is way more fricking crazy imo, and we all know what party supports that insanity.

Trump 2019 was much different than Trump 2024, so it doesn’t make sense to compare the two. He wasn’t openly calling to bar his enemies and vehemently denying factual election results. Brash, sure. But it’s completely disingenuous to act like they’re remotely the same person.

Most of America would vote for a head of lettuce if it was D or R at this point, so long as it isn’t Trump. There’s a reason Nikki Haley kept winning 40% of primaries months after dropping out

Personally I’m tired of him hijacking the party and using the RNC to pay for his legal bills while promoting family members to position of power. The party needs to move on

Then vote for JD in 2028. 4 more years of this shite is ridiculous. Nobody on this site with any common sense can say they are better of now than they were prior to the end of Trumps 1st term.

The last thing I want is the guy propping up Trump's ridiculous statements, who flip flopped harder on being a never Trumper than Kamala ever has on her issues

I dislike Kamala but Trump really screwed the pooch picking Vance over Burgum from a political angle

That’s all I need to hear.

A vote for nobody is a vote for Kamala.

No matter the candidate. We can not lower taxes without cutting expenditures.

We gonna be fricked if we don't cut spending and cut income.


The trouble is with picking what to cut. Reality is we need the vast majority of the government's spending. Like we have a party that is supposedly the champion of small town America but I have no clue how you are supposed to keep small towns around without governments subsidizing rural industry to some degree. How much money has been spent on running fiber in rural areas where similar dollar per linear foot could have served far more people in urban and suburban locations? For whatever its worth, I think it is a great thing having grown up in a rural Alabama town. But in a utilitarian sense, the people's money could have done more for more people spent somewhere else.

I feel like the majority of modern US politics is essentially each party's base operating under the recognition that everything is getting worse but the least we could do is make sure that the people who we don't like are disproportionately the ones who get the worst of it. Neither of the parties actually ends up being fiscally responsible in a broad sense. Their fiscal responsibility is only extended to those they imagine outside their conception of people who matter.

One side is talking about taxing unrealized gains and the other is talking raising tariffs across the board. Both of which are horrible fricking ideas that would hurt the American people.

You act like tariffs disappeared after Trump left office. They didn’t. The current administration didn’t remove all of Trump’s tariffs and have put some in place of their own. What are Tariffs only bad when a republican wants to put them in place?

Tariffs can be useful when used strategically. He's talking about raising them 10-20% across the board and 60% on Chinese goods. That would be disastrous. Also he doesn't seem to understand how they work.

Would rather keep politics off this board regardless of affiliation.

Its times like this when you start thinking that the US of A is on the wrong end of the Cooked-Cooking Continuum.

His use of them seemed to have a positive economic impact during his first term. I’m sure he has no idea how the economy works though, especially if you listen to MSNBC every day.

He clearly showed during his first term that he knew better how to use them than any president since the income tax amendment.

When he first announced he was going to use tariffs, I was completely opposed to it, but he proved to me that the real problem is we were never using them correctly. Trump proved that using tariffs to level the playing field for American industry is the only effective way to use tariffs. Placing tariffs on things we MUST get from other countries is a losers game we'd been playing for generations.

The Florida board had a thread titled "If you have something political to say, say it here." Sounds like a pretty good idea.
