Just wow.
It's hysterical at this point. Hates government, yet works for the Feds. Millions of people in Federal, State, Local governments, and the media are in a giant conspiracy...........yet the gov't can't seem to manage basic services like road upkeep.

It's really fascinating.

Loving America is something you simply wouldn't understand.

Literally nothing in history suggests one should ever trust thier government, especially with boomers and libs in charge...

Why does supporting the national defense of our country mean i need to have blind faith in government. If anything i know a hell of a lot more than you about how government works, sorry: doesn't work.

Again, just because I don't agree with hard right Fritatta Brain, doesn't mean I'm a lib. I already went over this, but apparently basic logic is hard to understand.

I'll wait for you to show me where I said I want to pay more taxes. I don't have children, so why should 70% of my property taxes go to schools to fund others crotch goblins? The government doesn't have a revenue problem, they have a spending problem. And it's mired in layers and layers of bureaucracy that waste ridiculous amounts of money.

I used to work for a defense contractor, the amount of BS is insane. Like, I literally had to write a 2 page document to explain to new Navy recruits that they may cut themselves on the sharp edges of a power distribution housing. Or how they may hurt their fingers and hands if the close a door on them. These are actually things I had to do to satisfy the DOD.............after multiple reviews.


You guys should really stop with the strawman and ad hominem arguments, it just shows you have nothing of substance to offer other than parroting far-right news, while claiming everyone who doesn't agree with you are sheep. Again, the cognitive dissonance is amazing.

I don't see that he is. Could you provide an example of this?

I can understand how it might appear that way, from the point of view of someone who is so red-pilled that they cannot conceptualize any criticism of their beliefs as anything other than proof that the person making the critique is a liberal shill.

Lord knows, you've all accused me of that recently, despite the fact that I have only ever voted for a Democrat candidate for any office maybe 4 or 5 times in my life, and never for a Federal office.

I'm far too lazy to dig but the extreme dismissiveness of the vote recount/audits definitely gives that impression. Recounts and audits can only be a good thing unless you have something to hide. I don't know a single person who honestly believes that the election was without fraud, although most of them don't believe it will ever be proven and few think there was enough for a Trump win.
