That's what CHARITY does, not GOVERNMENT; charity does it BETTER, MORE EFFECTIVELY and EFFICIENTLY. It is the only MORAL option; it doesn't STEAL from others. Poverty is at a global low, not because of church or state but because capitalism works.

Well, this is disingenuous. He's discussing process cuts, not fungible beneficiary cuts. For example, the relevant programs have high overhead costs: bureaucracies, infrastructure, etc. They are also talking about things like capping various payments to providers, etc.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 10, 2020
Nope. He's simply inconsistent on defense spending. There is virtually nothing "worth defending". High government spending saps the private economy of funding for real growth.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 10, 2020

Government fucks up EVERYTHING. The idea you want to empower bureaucrats over my healthcare is infuriating. The idea you haven't understood the incompetence of government healthcare in the wake of the various Veterans Health Administration scandals is telling. Premium increases?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 11, 2020
Whoa! A Commiecrat pulling out politically correct bullshit like "racism"? Am I surprised? The link of violent fanaticism tied to Comrade Bernie is a matter of fact, not opinion. Do an Internet search on Sanders, supporters, violence, and you'll find multiple stories in 2016/20.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 11, 2020
It's not every day you get to see an impeached POTUS. Drivers also rubberneck around auto wrecks, and Romans loved to see Christians killed by lions. People also line up to see horror flicks in the theater. What's your point, Impeached One? https://t.co/RKJF3d0Cqh— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 11, 2020
The fact of the matter is that fanaticism among Comrade Bernie's commiecrats is just as real as the radical Trumpkins who piss on sleeping Latinos or drive cars into crowds. Populism is just as toxic either side of the coin.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 11, 2020

I don't tweet much about scripted wrestling/sports entertainment, but having ex-NXT champ Shayna Baszler go after WWE Raw champ Becky Lynch with a vampire-like attack on the back of Lynch's neck was a little gross, a jump the shark moment. McMahon needs new creative writers.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 11, 2020
The fact of the matter is that The Impeached One abused his foreign relations authority going after a political rival. We also know he illegally withheld military aid.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 11, 2020
Apparently you are fine with The Impeached One pardoning American war criminals, but going after patriots.

Recall Clinton in 1992 lost Iowa to favorite son Harkin and NH to neighboring Senator Tsongas. McGovern lost those states. I thought Nevada and especially SC were Biden's first toeholds. But Comrade Bernie may have momentum in Nevada, and Biden may be losing black support.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 11, 2020
Trumpkins are gleeful over Biden's slow start, with almost all NH polls showing Comrade Bernie with a high single-digit lead. I think in part that has to do with The Impeached One's extortion of Ukraine, trying to target Biden. I never expected Biden to do well in the first 2.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 11, 2020
Here's the first slice of my take on The Impeached One's 2020 SOTU address:https://t.co/OeFevV39uX— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 11, 2020
Well, we already knew Barr was The Impeached One's bitch when Trump referenced him as well as Giuliani during the infamous extortion phone call to Zelensky. It is unconscionable that the AG overrules recommendations based on political connections. Corruption! #ImpeachBarrNow— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 11, 2020
The only thing worse than the spendthrifty Impeached One is the whole group of Dem challengers who want to vastly expand federal spending--only on the backs of the upper 1%, of course. It's time to offer voters a third way.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 11, 2020
Well, we warned you. Remember Barr and The Impeached One's pursuit of having high tech companies, e.g., Apple, plant government backdoors into access? According to the Wall Street Journal, the government worries Chinese vendor Huawei is able to exploit said vulnerabilities.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 11, 2020
Wow, there's no way to sugarcoat what seems to be a fifth place finish for Biden, under 10% of the vote, in NH; of course, two-thirds of the votes are still outstanding as I tweet. It's not just that, but two of the national primary polls today have Comrade Bernie over Biden.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2020
Much to Trumpkin delight, Biden's poor start shows his electability card isn't working with Dem voters to date. He's also depending on a Southern strategy, and it looks like Bloomberg is making inroads, e.g., edging Biden in a recent Arkansas poll.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2020
I know Ron Paul was encouraging libertarians with a significant presence in NH (Free State Project) to turn out for non-interventionist Tulsi Gabbard, but it looks like she'll get maybe 3% of the vote. I'm not sure where her campaign goes from here. Her 'present' imp vote hurts.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2020
It looks at this point that Comrade Bernie may edge Mayor Pete by about 3 points in NH, maybe half of what the polls predicted. But one of the bigger stories of the night has to be neighboring senator Cherokee Lizzie, in a distant fourth to Senator Amy. Her path from here?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2020

#BeingLiberalMeans what it meant in the nineteenth century: the primacy of the rights of the individual over the State, laissez-faire economics, etc. There's nothing "liberal" in trampling of the rights of the individual, of pretentious bastards rationalizing ruling over you.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2020
Interesting. Trump is winning about 86% of the vote in NH, so there's about 14% of Republicans protest-voting, principally for former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2020
Well, one of the talking points from the Trump Propaganda Network (FNC/FBC) was a low turnout for Dems in Iowa. From what I can tell, more voters have turned out to vote in the more competitive NH Democratic primary.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2020
You commiecrats are in a state of denial. Clinton in 1992 and McGovern in 1972 did not win either Iowa or New Hampshire. Yes, Biden is off to a slow start, but he's repeatedly bested Sanders in national primary polls.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 12, 2020

I actually thought Ron would go a different way in his commentary, on The Impeached One's misconduct on Ukrainian aid, i.e., there should be no foreign aid.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2020
But pushing for a Biden investigation by Ukraine was no partisan fabrication. Putting a hold on aid violated the law.
Prager University is a mixed bag. I've probably embedded dozens of their clips in my daily blog over the years, and those have been good.
