Trump refusing to sign Congressional bills over his obsession to disenfranchise 21M American citizens may be the best news we libertarians have had over Trump's failed Presidency. He's making things even worse for Republicans this fall. pic.twitter.com/2gXy2wEsAN

Dumbass-in-Chief Trump is doing his best George W. Bush impression of "mission accomplished" in starting a war with another Gulf Region country. pic.twitter.com/EpM2ymOIuR

In just 10 days of "Drill, baby, drill" Trump's unprovoked war on Iran, gas has surged 47 cents a gallon. Is this what America First Trumpkins voted for?

A BIL joked on FB that Iran's new supreme leader is going to have a hard time buying life insurance.

Not funny. Not the first time Trump has targeted an Iranian leader, an act of war. Trump needs to be careful; he's already had 2 assassination attempts & > 7 undeclared wars.
I don't mind right-wingers deciding to dissent from Trump's neo-con military interventionism in Iran but spare me from Candace Owens' crackpot obsessions linking it to the Epstein scandal and Epstein's religious identification.

Well, for all the "winning" the Neo-Con-in-Chief is supposedly doing in his unconstitutional war in Iran. it doesn't include job approval polls. Via RCP: pic.twitter.com/K47s290wGw

I have to admit I didn't get the recent unmasking of a WWE nobody on the Seth Rollins angle, but Raw's Rollins' remasking among other masked men in black looked like a clever version of a wrestling shell game.

Those of us real conservatives and libertarians realize that Obama's dismal presidency made possible the failed Trump presidency. And just like Trump is the worst GOP POTUS since Lincoln, he is making possible the worst leftist presidency ever. And Trumpkins are to blame.

Illegal votes are statistically near-zero percent
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) March 10, 2026
(like .0000845% in AZ). Up to 21M American citizens would lose their right to vote over ready access to necessary official documentation of citizenship https://t.co/YQ49e8CxcJ
No to disenfranchising 21M American citizens! No to the Sore Loser-in-Chief who got his ass kicked in the 2020 election and lost 60 relevant court cases based on crackpot debunked lies. Fewer than 0.1% of votes are illegal under the status quo & not one election has been decided. https://t.co/TOP5xRt1aj

We have had a voluntary military for decades & the draft ended before I turned 18. Still, I like almost all American males had to register.

Noem, who called Good and Pretti "terrorists" , wasn't the only despicable Trumpkin liar. Trump tried to argue Iran fired a missile at its own girls' school. It turns out the US missile was fired by our military using obsolete target coordinates of the nearby military base.

Nope. Bad legislation is worse than the status quo. It disenfranchises up to 21M Americans. It violates the 10th Amendment. Elon Musk is a dumbass like other Trumpkins. The SAVE Act isn't even constitutional. Via the Conversation: pic.twitter.com/XOUzMVBf9Y

Rubbish. First of all, in the US. Voting laws are restricted to the states with some constitutional restrictions (e.g., no poll taxes). All states qualify voters including ID upon registration or first voting. Over 30 states require some ID at the polls. pic.twitter.com/oGM7ErNI52

Musk, as usual, is uninformed and not doing due diligence. Disenfranchisement of minorities was a component of Jim Crow, with certain states passing discriminatory laws like poll taxes and literacy tests that acted to limit minority voting. SAVE Act disenfranchises nearly 21M. https://t.co/VP5I4pOfQ2 pic.twitter.com/bP6peVjvFG

My vote is not subject to a majority opinion. I don't give a damn what some biased poll shows. I can guarantee these polls don't point out the SAVE Act could invalidate up to 21 M voters who can't readily document their birth from official documents.

How crazy is the SAVE Act? One example. During the Great Recession, I had to renew my passport to be considered for a Saudi gig as a DBA. It expired a few years back. My citizenship didn't expire in the interim, but some SAVE idiots would argue that it's no longer valid.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) March 12, 2026
To give another example of SAVE law complications, when I moved locally a few years back, I had to contact MVA in MD, but they didn't issue a replacement license with my new address (a different C. district). They did contact the local election board. ID check of address?

The GML guys rightly mock Trump's desperate attempt to primary Massie, the most principled, smartest (30 patents) man in Congress. Kalshi traders raised Massie's chances to 65% after the rally. "Mr. No" Massie won before Trump during the Tea Party era.https://t.co/cW7wrw4XKJ

Putin is very proud of his useful idiot, Trump, who ended sanctions on Russian oil exports. I'm not a fan of economic sanctions, but that's not an issue with Trump. Trump started the Iran war, when everyone in the world knows about the Strait of Hormuz.https://t.co/mo3EWTDsoZ

No. Musk is incompetent. There is zero constitutional authority for Congress to regulate elections. If Musk knew the Constitution, he would know unenumerated powers are left to the states. That's why Congress had to resort to an amendment, not pass a law, for Amendments 15,19,24

No. Elections are constitutionally left to the states. The Voting Rights Act is enabled by the 15th Amendment. The 17th Amendment required election of Senators, There is ZERO basis for voter IDs in the Constitution. We didn't have a photo ID law until 2005 or voter ID (1950) pic.twitter.com/tAJ1SykF8t

Well, WWE is predictable. They had the "undisputed" title for Wrestlemania between 2 babyfaces. Personally, I would have preferred to see a heel turn from Rhodes, but Randy Orton has been a heel before. It was the "safe" choice.

Trump did not build an international coalition before his unprovoked war against Iran. The US and Israel clearly underestimated the vulnerability of the Strait of Hormuz, the limited supply of interceptors, and the number and effectiveness of Iranian drones. Poor planning. https://t.co/HegUbldiv0
