You are dumb, foolish, and naive. As someone who helped secure the USA, I can teach you a lot, not that I expect it to register with you. Today's lesson is one simple phrase. If it gets through to your deranged brain, you will be smarter than you were this morning.

Here you go: "The USA has NO friends in the world, only countries with shared interests".
The World is jealous of the USA.

The only lesson I could ever take from you is how to be a *****.

I'm still laughing about your post about how you intentionally didn't see me at the World Cup. I mean, dude, I would say that was a really smart decision on your part considering how much **** you've talked. I really, really don't like you. And I don't remember ever having liked you. I generally think you are an awful person (before the past few years I probably thought you were just something of an odd guy on the Internet).
A true Texan cares NOT what sport is at the World Cup.

Please note the lack of any substance in the MAGA commentary on here. We get the personal attacks and the memes, but no actually coherent worldview or arguments.

15 days until their first of two humiliating defeats. Maybe they will get religion and nominate Rubio. I have massive doubts. The beatings will need to continue until sanity returns.
Voting is neither humiliating nor insane, but American.

Dont go! You never answered my question. Does the NJSP require a degree?

Big Swill has obviously received some insider information on how terribly early voting is going for the GOP, and is eating the posse out of Dodge!!!

It is a bit weird that he wants the thread shut down because he's leaving. I mean, he can stay/leave/whatever, but that shouldn't determine whether the thread remains.

Haha, your brain is total mush. Owned again and all you can do is cuss. Like Jeff, you will never learn


Your self own was hilarious in June. “You will never be in the same ballpark as me”. In fact, you were in the same ballpark as me that very day.

Again, glad I didn’t waste a minute of time to meet you. My guess is you would have feigned a soccer injury and filed a suit against me.

In all seriousness, I hope you overcome your deep issues which have caused you to become a cheap copy of Tucker Carlson. Oh, the fall from glory

None of this even makes sense.

Separately, I think you went to Netherlands Japan in Dallas. I wish I’d have gone to that one, but I actually watched it at the nearby bar area (my sister and daughter went to that one). But if you were at a game I attended, cool.

Totally incapable of actually formulating an actual response, as predicted.

I'm going to be so happy about how upset people like you, TJ, Dumbcoach, and Big Swill are after these elections. That's a terrible way to look at elections, but you've earned it. The left deserves the same, btw, but at least they haven't generated a Trump ... yet.
You are increasingly gloating, hoping for Trump to fail in every post. I guess it is because you've aligned yourself against Trump and it makes you feel good to have James Talarico as your senator.

I enjoy the back and forth and at times get carried away but you are on a roll. On Nov 4, if the Dems take both houses, the decline of America will begin.

Two things will be true: 1) the Dem party will be AOC level left wing or worse (Schumer is too "jewish" and will be gone). As I have posted before, I hope you are still on the board in April when the Dems are shutting down the govt, impeaching Trump, doing everything in their playbook to make Trump fail.
2) the world will continue to be a dangerous place. And our govt will be infighting.

Personally I'm hoping for the R's to keep the senate and for the Dems to not go so far left. An illini optimist.

It would be simply awful if someone stopped the failed tariffs and Trump from using office to enrich his family.

Who will rename useless stuff if Dems impeach Trump again?

It a bit seems like you are arguing something that I already contradicted in the post you quote.

I'm going to be so happy about how upset people like you, TJ, Dumbcoach, and Big Swill are after these elections. That's a terrible way to look at elections, but you've earned it. The left deserves the same, btw, but at least they haven't generated a Trump ... yet.

I'm not rooting for Trump "to fail." I'm rooting against him in the elections, because I think he's a terrible President and a disgrace to the Republican Party (and the many conservatives who have abandoned their principles to support him). He's an obvious con artist, and he's stopped even trying to hide it.

I've been very clear that I support Trump's efforts in Iran, despite the fact they have consequences and are unpopular with the broader public. I think much of the criticism of that conflict is unwarranted, Iran is a monstrous regime. I wish we had a similar, albeit more restrained, attitude about Russia.

I support Trump's border enforcement and even though I'm just not an immigration restrictionist, I'm not outraged by ICE deporting people here illegally (again, the ICE efforts are unpopular among many). We have laws, illegal immigrants are in violation of them and thus subject to deportation. It can be messy. I'm not sure it's the policy I'd pursue if the President, but it's a legitimate decision.

On the other hand, I'm vehemently opposed to tariffs. Economic idiocy and largely unlawful in the manner Trump has enacted them multiple times. Completely unacceptable. Also terrible politics, but that's beside the point.

I call the shots as I see them, and Republicans deserve to lose. I posted above how I'd vote in each competitive Senate race btw. I sure will be happy when Ken Paxton is not the Senator, which has the added bonus of sending a message to voters like you that extremists are not acceptable (Arizona Rs keep nominating them and they keep losing ... go figure).

As for the Dems, if they impeach Trump for something valid, don't care. If they make something up, bad. I don't think that will be their first order of business, but I think they will hold tons of corruption-related hearings (and there's tons to dig up in those). On policy, I think they have a fractured coalition; Dems' main bond right now is unity against Trump. Not sure how that plays out in a post-Trump era, but he's likely handed them power.

Texas Democrat James Talarico is drawing attention after sitting down with Muslim elected officials and activists in Irving while campaigning for the U.S. Senate.

The meeting included Richardson Mayor Amir Omar, Irving Councilman Fahad Ahmed, and state Rep. Salman Bhojani, among others. Some attendees wore Palestinian keffiyehs.

Talarico has previously worked with Emgage Action and pushed HB 2039, which expanded who can perform marriages to include imams. He posted about the bill with the line “As-salamu alaykum, y’all.”

He has also said he learned as much about his faith from Islamic mystics as from Christian authors and has equated Christian nationalists with the Taliban and al-Qaeda as extremists.

Bhojani, a Pakistani-born Democrat, has pushed for Eid holidays, halal accommodations, and other measures.
Talarico is the Democratic nominee for Senate and is openly courting organized support in North Texas. The meeting is being described by critics as part of a pattern of progressive Democrats aligning with Muslim political networks for votes and legislative influence.

The mush brained truly deranged said this was a Trump family slush fund. Wrong again. Very badly.



Let's see what MAGA, Inc./the Trump Super PACs have after the election on hand before we declare victory. MAGA Inc. had $415M on hand at the end of August. Trump claimed the whole operation had a billion dollars (that might be high, frankly), but they are also entities spending in the midterms.

Let's say the $415M is drawn down to $260M. Why was less than 40% spent? If it's down to $100M, maintaining something of a war chest makes sense to me, that would be a reasonable burn rate for such an operation in a midterm, understanding it would likely raise more for the next Presidential election to support the GOP candidate.

I'm still not sure MAGA Inc. has given any more than its $10M contribution to Paxton (which ain't much). Affiliated Super PACs (dark money) have also contributed to a total of maybe $45M. Hardly a huge layout considering Trump could have stopped Paxton and much less $$$ would have been required. That said, if it turns out Trump spent a lot elsewhere and just forewent Paxton, I'd understand.
