I’m late getting into this interview/post, but I would ask: for that concentration camp, what are they going to do when a hurricane comes? It’s a complete cage of steel wire and no roof. It’s in a swamp which is going to flood instantly. Oh well, when the alligators float up, at least they won’t be able to get into the cage with all of these drowning souls. Another policy decision without thinking of unintended consequences.

The other interesting part about this is the Alcatraz can only withstand a Cat 2 Hurricane. They took all that money and they put up tents. Tents don't work in Hurricanes (or floods). All these decisions are NOT rooted in Common Sense not even an iota of sense. Nope I would say the Republican party is NOT the party of Economic responsibility!

The Medicaid cuts may not hit until Dec 2026. But the nursing homes will be notifying families b4 then that they’ll need to start private pay in Dec or make other arrangements.

My LPOS MN MAGA CD7 Representative MICHELLE FISCHBACH voted for it. To SCREW everyone in CD7! Our MN Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith did NOT vote for it. - not like the cowards Murkowski and Collins and Thune and Rounds and Johnson from South Dakota. Kristi Noem is a SADIST. I wonder how she treats her husband? Great people from South Dakota sticking it to America and Americans.... REPUBLICANS need to be NAMED and SHAMED and BLAMED for ALL of this and NEVER let them ESCAPE from under it!! Hang this around their necks and NEVER let them escape..... And NEVER let DOGE off the hook either. Every single one of them must have a BRIGHT LIGHT shined on them and show everyone who they are and the DAMAGE they are doing to EVERYONE!!!

NEVER TRUST THE MUSKRAT

The Muskrat is floating the idea of a third political party in the country using his money as leverage to essentially cull votes away from the Democratic party and thereby give the Christian Nationalist Party(CNP) aka Nazis or GOP an even greater voter advantage in future elections

There is no question that the DNC and the Democrats have policy problems but a division in party politics could be disastrous if the CNP gains further leverage On top of all of this is the fact that Muskrat's affiliation with the CNP is clear and that by doing a third party does nothing but weaken the Democratic party Muskrat is like the Orange Cheeto A LIAR

Ragoo--is or Ragu---Like it. As to Josh Hawley running down the road. Remember his sissy run on Jan. 6, 2021? Yep--50 Ragu Senators made it happen. Shame on them.

Regarding messaging....Drumpf and MAGA know that Democrats are incapable of communicating/messaging and as I've said repeatedly they neither fear nor respect Democrats. They take a calculated 'gamble' that there will be no repercussions. D knew there were Medicaid cuts....but his feral political sense told him that it was OK to fake his unawareness of cuts in the bill and to keep saying there were none. After all.....many folks believe what HE says.

Oh Lordy....Schumer had better be gone by December of '26 because he's clueless. The Dumbocrats have had 10 years to fine tune a message....and what we get is a stupid freekin look and ...'We got nuthin'"! Jeffries will just explore people to.....'pray'.
