Trump won an unprecedented third straight GOP nomination. He became just the second person to win nonconsecutive Presidential terms. His court cases and debates dominated the news cycle all year round. Time has named international evil figures like Stalin, Hitler and Khomeini.

Whenever you hear a leftist talk 'fairness', check to make sure your pocket hasn't been picked. Leftists invent misleading euphemisms for socialism like "your fair share". No, expanding unpaid for beneficiaries on an already unsustainable entitlement system is bad public policy. https://t.co/m49bQELHkH

Leftists celebrate fixing poorly maintained infrastructure as if that's not morally hazardous public policy. Not to mention these are mostly state/local projects, not federal, and are blatantly unconstitutional.

Trump eyeing Greenland reminds me how he tried to have an old lady's home condemned so he could use her property for his casino's limo parking

Jimmy Carter did live long enough to vote for Kamala Harris. But his vote was cancelled out by fellow Georgians and Trump did something he never did--win nonconsecutive terms in office. https://t.co/Mg8sMS5ORY

RINO Trump is slamming Republicans not supporting elimination of the debt ceiling, to Democrats, a dream they've wanted for years. Trump wants to primary principled fiscal conservatives. Dems can't get over how the former registered Dem is doing then favors.

As a pro-lifer, I applaud Biden's decision to commute nearly 3 dozen federal prisoners on death row to life imprisonment. On the other hand, Hypocrite Trump can't wait to execute his first prisoner.

I used to deliver papers to about 90 customers daily except Saturday in the hot south Texas sun. The base commissary wouldn't let us work for tips until 16. I used to clear basically a dollar a day. If I got a can of pop at the barracks... I would have loved a minimum wage job.

First of all, note Congressional raises were not included in the recent CA. Musk channeled his inner populist to vent at the audacity of Congressmen proposing a nearly 40% pay raise. He doesn't mention the last raise was in 2009 and the cost of living is up about 47% since then.

Rubbish! Social security payments are guaranteed by law for existing beneficiaries. There was only 1 proposal I know involving social security: Rand Paul proposed raising the retirement age which failed
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 23, 2024
Biden didn't do a GD thing to shore up shaky social security financing.
I'm already sick and tired of Trump's diarrhea of the mouth. His empty threats of taking back the Panama Canal are contradicted by US law under the ratified Carter treaties. He is already flirting with impeachment.

What is worrisome is that Trump had to know this was out there when he initially nominated him for AG, but Gaetz made the dropped case on relevant charges an exoneration. Of course, the bigger issue was Gaetz' unqualified background. Trump wanted a loyalist to shake things up. https://t.co/lEDKkdnFfr
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 23, 2024
i can't believe I'm having to write this but too many leftists are treating the House Ethics Committee report on Gaetz like crime convictions. i'm no Gaetz fan but a reninder: the Justice department declined to bring charges, maybe not strong enough evidence to convict.

This is pretentious rubbish. No, free speech in politics is not corrupt. You leftists are in denial of your toxicity. i think Democrats have outspent Republicans in the last 7 straight Presidential elections, including all after Citizens, and GOP won 4.https://t.co/ZwcqPYr0Lp

You are in a state of denial. I think a term-limited DeSantis could run for the full term in 2026. He'll probably appoint an interim loyalist.

No way could Gaetz win a statewide vote. In fact, I doubt the Senate would seat him if selected. The evidence against him is toxic.
it's not like the missing Christmas Eve shipment had Christmas presents. But it's like they do zero about fixing the predictably wrong deliveries. I would rather they schedule delivery for daylight the next day. It's just this a recurring problem and they aren't fixing it.

Trump is unhappy that Santa Biden didn't pardon him as well as all those other convicted criminals. Now Trump will have to do it himself unconstitutionally. #sarcasm

As a Catholic, my favorite Mass of the year has always been Midnight Mass. I was an altar boy during the transition of the Latin mass to native tongue under Vatican II reforms. Cassock and surplice, communion plate, bells, lighting candles. I loved the centuries-old rituals.

I had thought leftists had largely abandoned X but I've seen dozens trying to mock Trump on immigration by wanting to deport Musk (naturalized 2002) and Melania (naturalized 2006), calling Barron an "anchor baby". in fact, Melania got her green card in 2001, so Barron not anchor

What's incredible to me is how many Trumpkins and certain fellow libertarians naively believe in Trump's America First policy. Trump wants to expand the American empire, not unlike the neo-cons, who he pretends to hate but hires.

I do agree that the H-1B process needs reform, but the program needs to be expanded, contrary to Trumpkin xenophobes. I have a good friend, now naturalized, who was going through the legally expensive green card process. He told me how his sponsor had cut his compensation, etc.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 27, 2024
Ann Coulter, the xenophobe queen, as usual is wrong, but there are issues with sponsorship, in part because of small quotas and a backlog of applicants. But Big Tech does need the workers. In my experience, the sponsors were staffing agencies, not the end clients. pic.twitter.com/T1iiiUDFxS

I have a lot of respect for naturalized citizens; a number of them, like Musk, are entrepreneurial and job creators. There are rumors that Trump may be more receptive to letting some of foreign graduate school students stay with work authorizations after graduation.

"Tampering" refers to the order of documents, not altering or planting documents, which could have shifted during the handling of the boxes. it doesn't change the fact that Trump stole classified documents to which he no longer had need to know.https://t.co/piNKBv5uo3 https://t.co/eQs3q2B6db

No, and I'm pro -vax. I agree anti-vaxxers exacerbate the deadly mutations of COVID-19 and bring back diseases like measles that had been eradicated. I would probably prefer to see something like a tax/healthcare credit on proof of vaccination: a carrot vs stick approach .

A leftist state of denial. Bidenomics is a failure. The Trump debt is more like $7.8T and Biden is on track to top that without the state shutdowns. We've seen stagnant real household income, the highest inflation in decades, and the slowest GDP growth.https://t.co/EivT61RVhy https://t.co/qktliSn3BR

Nope. I do agree he planned a protest on that day but there's zero evidence he intended a violent riot with property damage and injured cops. I think the point is that Trump knew there was a risk that exuberant Trumpkins would overwhelm an outmanned security force.

No. I personally got suspended multiple times on Twitter for ideological reasons, but there is no crime in enforcing restrictions in a voluntary association. Doing such is inconsistent with American principles, but disagreeing with them does not justify an expulsion.
— raguillemette (@raguillemette) December 28, 2024
Trump is inconsistent with your point of view. He not only wants to deport 4% of the American population, he deeply cut legal immigration, including entrepreneurial immigrants like yourself. A century ago we imposed a xenophobic quota system that remains today vs our heritage.

I think they should appeal to Eisenhower's precedent of granting migrants legal work permits. Remember the GOP has supported this for decades vs labor protectionists like RINO Trump.

I agree that that many high tech companies have been cutting back over the last couple of years. Even more experienced workers are finding work more challenging. But hiring needs go beyond entry-level positions; I have known very experienced immigrants; no labor protectionism! https://t.co/4jx0wR38qH
