Truly unbelievable. This is not OK and the Senate led by Republicans don’t want a fund for these types of J6 people.

This guy is going to win in Texas?
Because it was heroic for people who were directly threatened to not take the vax. Too bad you lack the ability to comprehend that - but not unexpected. And then you jump the shark and equate not taking the vax with storming Normandy Beach or Iwo Jima. Nice try, but a massive failure and amazing disrespect to the true warriors for making that comparison.Correct I did not. I'm also not calling myself a hero for not taking the vax. Why is it so hard for people to understand things here?
I don't believe we will ever have the data to make a proper judgement. The government invested too much in mandates to conduct a real study.I don't think there's a long debate to have here, but I agree with you wholly that vaccine mandates were terrible policy. The military stuff was absurd and disgusting. My only dispute with you is about vaccine efficacy and danger. The vaccines probably could have been better at preventing the spread, but they absolutely lowered fatality rates. And I do not think there's much evidence for the claim that they are linked to widespread health issues or death.
I believe the vaccines cause lots of health problems about as much as I believe "Long Covid" was a common problem btw.
Your prognosis in 2016, 2020, 2024 ?Chris Dudley got slaughtered in the primary last night so timely post.
Republicans are going to get smoked this fall (because of Trump and his 38.5% approval).
Go onto Kalshi and Polymarket today, GOP chances of winning Texas Senate now barely above 50%. Don’t worry, they are headed lower.
The just ended flu season, had these uplifting stats on the vaccine.There was no regular flu. It literally disappeared from stats. The rapid testing was so bad. False positives.
Yep. This wasn’t much to ask.
Again disappears ! Another Lucy moment holding a football !You continue to embarrass yourself with every post. He cited a post about Chris Dudley leading Tina Kotek. Chris Dudley was crushed in the GOP primary LITERALLY LAST NIGHT, making that poll irrelevant. Why you are defending that post ... I will never know.
Chris Dudley may or may not be the "lowest rated Republican candidate IN A GENERAL ELECTION," I have no way of knowing. Winning a primary does not mean you will be more popular than a person who lost said primary among the general electorate. You seem to think a right-wing lunatic who wins a primary will be more popular among the broader electorate because he/she won the primary, relative to a moderate who loses the primary. That has repeatedly been proven false based on every statistical electoral analysis ... the closer a candidate is perceived to be to the center (assuming out corruption), the better said candidate does in general elections. This applies in all districts (far right, moderate, far left), it just doesn't matter much in the districts where a R or D are a lock to win.
Now there's a complex calculation as to where you'd want to nominate more ideologically pure and more moderate candidates, depends on the district. And the Oregon Democratic party assuredly sucks, plenty of examples of that. But the point was that Chris Dudley was a decent center, hideous FT shooter, and isn't very relevant to the Oregon gubernatorial race as of this morning.
I will be frank. I really don't like the people who post on this chain, with a couple of exceptions. They are generally deluded and basically have created their own Internet realities. Hopefully the emergence of Senator-Elect Talarico late this year will open some eyes, we shall see. Thank you for making this my last post for a few months.
And before I leave, Democrats are going to relentlessly crush the GOP come November. Because Trump - a malignant narcissist who just created a $1.776B slush fund - has a 38.5% approval rating. Democrats are also on course to win in 2028 and take back full control ... unless Rs do a course correction that shocks me, something like nominating Rubio, Kemp, or Youngkin. It's gonna be bad, and I'm going to laugh at you.
My prayers for Icky’s Daddy worked! He is still with us.
Be a man of your OWN postings and disappear.Enjoy the fall, partisan lunatics who are dumb AF see the hammer blow last.
A guy that refused good career advice; "Take the DC Bar Exam", from a buddy that forecast the rise of Dem's needing representation in DC !Hillary will win Utah in 2016, Trump will never come back in 2024, vote out Stephen Richer and you will get a Democrat recorder. Laughably wrong on all counts.
Thanks to incredible gerrymandering and the Supreme Court decision (not to mention RDS), the House will be close this year. The Senate map favors Rs and even NC has some doubt as a total flip this year.
You are quite disappointing Train. Your position to stand for civil liberties in America was almost unrivaled when the vax was mandated. Yet you caved, truly pathetic and weak AF to quote you.
A bronze tablet genius, highest bar score in Texas history, no doubt sitting on a great pile of cash you could have said hell no, lost your job, and walked into an even better job of your choosing. Instead of thanking the patriots who stood firm (including African Americans who endured the syphilis experiments) against modern tyranny, you insult them. Generally people who know they did wrong lash out at those who stood strong.
You’re welcome.
Learn your History !Imagine your greatest life achievement being a vaccine you didn’t take. Dude, you didn’t get dropped on the beaches of Normandy in 1944, LOL.
Yes. It is this simple.
This week the UN has REVERSED their long-held decision on climate change on Earth.Speaking of climate change. Apparently it is a thing that government entities like Hawaii are suing major oil companies for climate change. "It is hotter, less rainfall, coastal flooding, stronger storms, etc". Their suit was filed in state court where the legal system is climate change friendly. They are using discovery to gather lots of documents.
Fortunately there is a case pending before the Supreme Court that says these cases should be Federal not state. Meanwhile the elected officials in Hawaii are doing their thing.

Not even Obumma and Mike spent much money for their oceanfront home in Hawaii ! They saved their pennies to buy oceanfront acreage and homes in NY, above $ 10,000,000.I stopped traveling to Hawaii years ago when I discovered there is more beautiful water everywhere in the Caribbean. I liked the Kona coffee in the mornings and the smell of their unique vegetation, but that was the end for me. We found the road to Hana to be a waste of a vacation day. I like the history there of Pearl Harbor and was able to have dinner on the Missouri once. I might return at some point for more of the Pearl Harbor tours, but that would be the only reason. Does anybody like the pig they cook at the Luau? I guess personal preference, but give me any of BVI, Cayman, Turks or even Key West.
Is this still Russia, Russia, Russia on your part ?Acknowledging that foreign money purchased a seat in the house is not anti-semitism. AIPAC was bragging about it yesterday.
Pretty curious watching you all cheerlead both a surveillance state and reduction our freedom of speech. All this anti-semitism nonsense is no different than the woke bs you screeched about for years.
Simply raging against America.Look forward to Trump advancing his agenda now that foreign influence has removed Massie. The next 6 months before MAGA is slaughtered in midterms and Trump is impeached should be glorious right?
Count to 47 YEARS and figure out how old you were when Iran started killing Americans ?We thinking this year still for all of this? Or are we still in Art of the Deal mode?
This is the answer to your question about shy Trump posters. Perhaps you could follow the yellow brick road and ask the wizard for a thinking cap.
If you refuse to follow your own statements to disappear, should we read your posts or not ?I'm totally lost here.
First, I make tons of political predictions, some are wrong and some are right. I had really good years in 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2020. I had bad years in 2016 (I actually was very accurate in House/Senate but thought Trump was a sure loser, even though I'm pretty certain I didn't actually pick Hillary in Utah, just stated it was a viable possibility in the three candidate race there) and 2022. I thought 2024 was extremely close, but picked Harris (which was wrong). I got the Senate right (said it would flip R) and stated the House would follow the Prez winner.
Second, the vaccine. I agree with you that Covid vaccine mandates were/are bad, still do, never changed on that. I never agreed the vaccine was bad (I don't think I'd have lost my job without the vaccine, but I took the vaccine because (a) I thought on balance it probably would have some health benefit and (b) I believed - and still believe - that vaccination encouraged more and more people to "get back to normal."
So, on the civil liberties matter, I absolutely support your choice not to vaccinate. I've stated so many times. From how you've described yourself, I don't find the decision unreasonable. If you'd have been 10 years older and fat, I'd have thought such a choice was dumb. So I was and still am 100% pro-choice, but I also recognize that the scientific data on balance suggests that the vaccines were a net positive. I don't know why this is hard, you come off as crazy on the topic not because you laud choice or even rejecting the vaccine, but because you spout nonsense about how terrible the vaccine is.
I personally think people like you are hung up on the vaccines because it's the only hot topic from Covid that you can remain "anti-establishment." Every other anti-establishment position against the Covid response was either fully or significantly vindicated. But saying "the vaccine was evil" remains something not accepted by many outside that right wing of the GOP.
That’s exactly the game that was played. Note they tried the cantavirus thing. It didn’t gain any traction. The ebola right after that was not even strong enough to make anyone bat an eye. The government overplayed their hand.Because it was heroic for people who were directly threatened to not take the vax. Too bad you lack the ability to comprehend that - but not unexpected. And then you jump the shark and equate not taking the vax with storming Normandy Beach or Iwo Jima. Nice try, but a massive failure and amazing disrespect to the true warriors for making that comparison.
My pushback among others was substantial enough that civil liberties have a chance in the future. Had everyone just complied, goodbye freedom - gone without a fight.
It’s laughable the dumb stuff he falls for. It’s like he doesn’t know Massie’s district at all. Massie is the cause of why Massie lost. Massie teamed up with Ro essentially trying to merge the far left with the far right. His district noticed the change in his behavior and support pattern.Simply raging against America.

Thanks, Captain Obvious. All of Pratt’s ads are AI generated. It doesn’t change the fact that this ad represents/is indicative of the quintessential “shy Trump voters”.This is AI.
Look at the demographics of that primary vote and try again.It’s laughable the dumb stuff he falls for. It’s like he doesn’t know Massie’s district at all. Massie is the cause of why Massie lost.

Boomers recite word for word the narratives the boob tube feeds them. Still just two weeks away from nuking NYC!!Count to 47 YEARS and figure out how old you were when Iran started killing Americans ?
Trump is stopping that "Art of the Big Fist" !
I don't believe we will ever have the data to make a proper judgement. The government invested too much in mandates to conduct a real study.
Unrelated, I'm curious what killed Kyle Busch (41 year old, all-time NASCAR wins leader) suddenly yesterday. Winning a race last Friday (or Saturday), talking with Mario Andretti and looking good on Tuesday, dead on Thursday morning. Really weird. Sepsis? Pneumonia? Definitely scary.
I believe @dtrain79 thinks he will win if Paxton wins the primary next week.
