    It was maddening! Liz Cheney, the daughter of Dick Cheney who the Left absolutely hated when he was Vice President of George Bush!

    Suddenly, when the Cheney's endorse Kamala, they've become the Left's best friend and spokesperson! What a dichotomy that is. You have the warmonger Cheney's and the complacent Biden/Harris administration who has yet to find their backbone!

    Who remembers the criticism because he worked for Halliburton?

    How odd Tom, nowhere did i mention Dick Chaney. Focus bro, focus. Liz had a 95 % conservative voting record by the way. I loved she admitted to being a Reagan Republican and had never voted for a Democrat...till this year when she votes for Harris. She was and still is all the things trump never will be.

    But you did mention Liz who comes from the same mold! And Dick has done endorsements commercials as well!

    And thank God for that, because she's a turncoat who Vice-Chaired the sham J6 Committee along with cry-baby Adam Kinzinger that put many innocent people in jail, Some people who weren't even in D.C. on January 6th!

    And then when the Republicans initiated their own Committee they come to find out that J6 Committee destroyed their records and evidence, some of which was exculpatory!

    Believe what you want to believe but Trump hasn't turned his back on the American people! Who's the first to show-up at natural disasters like hurricane Helene, or the train wreck in Palestine, Ohio? Who calls to give support and condolences to the Gold Star parents or the parents who have lost a child because of some illegal alien the Biden/Harris administration has allowed to enter our Country? Not Joe, not Kamala! They're always one fry short of a Happy Meal, and only show-up when they're forced too trying to make it look like they care! Always a day late and a dollar short!

    Yeah, those are the same people I want to call in my time of need! And this latest fiasko on FEMA hurricane relief money is a freak'n joke, except nobody's laughing! But I believe it did open the eyes of many more Americans who now understand that another Harris/Walz administration will do more harm than good!

    Nothing better than a little levity from then president trump in Puerto Rico eh?

    Anyone who has watched trump knows he shows up to grandstand, pat himself on the back and pretend he cares.

    The man wouldn't understand empathy if it bit him is his overly large backside.

    Does anyone remember how long it took to get aid to Puerto Rico? Here's a headline to help you:
    New probe confirms Trump officials blocked Puerto Rico from receiving hurricane aid
    The Trump administration also obstructed an investigation looking into why it was depriving the U.S. territory of congressionally approved funds, the report found.

    The scary thing is i can post links where he did the same thing in Oregon and California.

    On the other had, FEMA has already spent 45 million dollars and that number will explode to the hundreds of millions of dollars before they are done, For those who are ill informed FEMA's Budget comes through Congress (Duh!).

    Here's an paragraph from an article on that budgeting process. I know those on the right don't want to hear it, but reality of what is and how it works is simple facts easily found (if one is to look).
    Last week, Congress approved $20 billion for FEMA's disaster relief fund as part of a stopgap spending bill to fund the government through December 20. But the measure left out billions of dollars in requested supplemental disaster funding.

    The Senate approved the measure by a 78-18 vote on September 25 after it passed the House in a 341-82 vote. Republicans supplied the no votes in both chambers.

    What? No link? Just words? Reminds me of the imaginary person Trump said so what to.

    But it sure would be nice to learn what else was in that Bill that caused Republicans to vote no!! Probably pissing more money away on pet projects?

    Besides, that's not giving the Citizens who desperately need aid any relief today! And it doesn't explain why the agency spent more than $1.4 billion since the fall of 2022 to address the migrant crisis,

    And when the hell is Congress ever going to stop continuing resolutions and have an approved budget on time? Congress has not passed a budget on time in over 25 years, and YES, that's the fault of both parties!

    What we need is a balanced budget amendment but if they can't even pass a budget on time, the chances of that are slim to none!

    I hope we would all realize that the "blabber" being "blabbered" is just that. At our age I am confident we all have the wisdom to vote intelligently. I wonder if using community social media to engage in toxic national debate is really just a way for some to falsely feel powerful. It is has crossed my mind. In any event, I hope there is a great voter turnout for the election. For those who see local social media as their personal opportunity to shape the nation, good luck and God Bless. I only ask that we embrace civility in any discourse on national politics. As our pledge of allegiance states - One Nation Under God with Liberty and Justice for All... We are all American hoping to be blessed with decision makers who exercise divine wisdom. Best regards

    The banter can be fun at times as long as you don't make it personal and start calling people names.

    Besides, you never know when you might change people's minds?

    I must confess to being very leery of folks who profess that their voting is inspired by "divine wisdom."

    Don’t forget that Lauren Bobert has her fingerprints in this sordid affair.

    The real question is how many will leave before the end and it’s not for photos.
    Check out Trump n NJ saying he has bigger crowds than The Boss. The Boss’s fans would have none of it and shredded the Orange Liar like a cheap head of lettuce. Look it up, it’s not nice to screw with the NJ god.

    But if the NJ god, as with many entertainers, was really smart, they would stick to entertaining and keep their political opinions to themselves!

    He may have been "Born in the USA" but his views on America surely comes from someplace else!

    They stay for the entertainment Dave. Here is a little view of the crowd yesterday, Last I heard was 60k, expected to be 100k

    Daniel Scavino Jr. | WOW—A VIEW FROM ABOVE IN BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA! #TrumpRally #Trump2024 #MAGA | Instagram

    Tenor Christopher Macchio entertained the crowd after the rally. Very few left. Did you listen to him? I know how you love opera.

    Just one more question. Do you snort, roll around in the mud and eat from a trough?
