Watching Mike Johnson on Meet the Press; is it too early to start drinking?

What an idiot MAGA puppet. The “Big Beautiful Bill” isn’t going to increase the deficit one penny yet in fact reduce the deficit? Do you MAGA idiots really believe that; even after every actual economic analysis group says it’s gonna be largest deficit increase in history. Mikey says, “but that doesn’t consider all of the growth we’re gonna create”. So this is the field of dreams economic plan; build it and they will come? Pass our bill and the economy will take off; trust us we’re never wrong. That’s not how financial modeling works Mikey, trust me I’ve done thousands of pro-formas and business cases, give me a call and I’ll give you a remedial class. I wish Kristen had asked him what the breakeven GDP growth needs to be in order for the bill to reduce the deficit; I bet it’s an astronomical number. THIS IS NOT FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN VALUES! MAGA idiots, don’t call this a bill that is opposed by the radical left; it’s also opposed by real Republicans. This is a bill by RINO idiots who don’t know what they’re doing. Even your MAGA golden boy Elon is telling you that it’s terrible. P.S. to be fair to MAGA, Raphael Warnock who followed Mikey isn’t any better

No. You abandoned rational thought and Trump just took advantage of you

He admitted he was wrong multiple times

Which he agrees with, but here you go again...

You realize opinions can be wrong right?

Thanks. I did vote for Trump before, and like I said, at the time, it wasn't

because I thought Trump was some kind of Godsend or super hero deserving a BJ. I just thought he was the better of two options. Was I wrong about that? I still don't think so, and I won't apologize for it. If anyone else thinks I was wrong, that's fine. However, over time, the problems that come with Trump as president have become more and more apparent to me, to the point I could no longer vote for him, even if the other option was disastorous. I own that 100%, and wish I'd seen it earlier. That's why I couldn't bring myself to vote for either this last time.

As far as republicans go, I am generally much more aligned with them than dems, but in no way am I committed to their position on anything. Right now, the republican party is a mess, supporting Trump out of political expediency instead of standing on principle. It's disgusting.

Again, I have been wrong about many many many things, just ask my wife. Trust me, I carry that burden every day. Am I wrong about my political ideas and positions? I very well could be - I have no problem admitting that. I mean, who's to say? It sure ain't 09, or anybody on here. Being wrong is part of life for all of us, and only dweebs are keeping score so that they can feel some sense of victory. I happen to believe that while getting some things right for the benefit of all is important, having to be right in every personal interaction and disagreement is petty and a waste of time and energy. Disagreement is normal and natural, and working together toward solutions is more important than being right.

Yes, I'm stumbling and bumbling, but hopefully headed in the right direction. I try to look at each issue, issue by issue, and decide where I stand, based on principle and my limited ability to understand, and never based on who or which side supports what.

Above all else, love and forgive. Understand that people who disagree with you are not necessarily idiots or your enemies. Respect the wisdom of the founding fathers and individual rights and freedoms. Always see the beauty and humor in life.

I don't believe the J6 committee was all about "getting to the bottom of what happened" (LOL). I think it was largely politically and personally motivated.

Again, what you simple-minded trollers can't seem to comprehend is that there are some people out here who aren't committed to a particular side, and actually try to look at each issue on it's own merits.

Was Trump wrong for Jan 6? Hell yes. He should have stepped aside and accepted the results like an adult. But his ego would not, could not accept his failure. What he did was egregious, and he deserved proper criticism and punishment.

What you simple minded dolts can't grasp is that by no stretch makes the Jan 6 committe "right" or "good", nor does it make heroes of any and all who were invloved; but that is the ####### bandwagon horseshid we get from you. The Jan 6 committee did not see Trump as a threat to the United States of America so much as a threat to their political agenda and their own fragile egos. Their motivation, instead of impartial justice, was personal hatred and vindictiveness. I mean, I get it, Trump is an easy guy to hate.

So many of you are so blinded by hyper-partisan hate that you can't get anywhere close to the objective truth, which is that while one side may be worse than the other (entirely a matter of opinion), neither is pure as the driven snow, and both are driven by the thirst for power while truth and real justice are way down the list. But you dillweeds want "victory", and there's no victory to be had in the current reality, so you pick a side and go with it no matter what.
