So I just saw the Trump commercial re: Desantis. He accuses Desantis of wanting to cut Medicare funding among other things. All dark and foreboding in black and white (of course). And here's my favorite part: "Desantis even voted to raise the retirement age to 70"!!
Anyone even halfway responsible who looks at the Social Security trust fund numbers knows the retirement age will have to be lifted. Americans are living longer. There's no other option. Well, there is one other option -- raising SS taxes and/or raising or eliminating the income cap. Both Democrat solutions.
Of course Trump has no proposed solution to this problem. He just promises us a "big beautiful Social Security System" with no details as to how that will happen, and takes shots at anyone having the courage to vote for real solutions. For those of us who are small government conservatives (which used to constitute the majority of Free Republic), Trump is showing his true feathers as just another big government Democrat. Which he used to be.
Solving our fiscal problems and at least slowing down our journey to the financial cliff will require straight talk and courage. When it comes to the budget, Trump has demonstrated neither. The deficit continued to skyrocket during his tenure, and he couldn't sign the stimulus checks fast enough. He even baited Biden because his checks weren't as big as Trump's were.
So if you believe in smaller government and fiscal restraint, and are a Trump supporter, you're being played. He's just trying to buy your vote with your money like the rest of them. In other words, he's the latest in a long line of Presidents who are no-courage hacks.
Of course his supporters will come out of the woodwork throwing rocks. They won't refute or debate any of these points. They'll just rant about MAGA this or Desanctimonious that. They are so firmly entrenched in the Cult of Trump they can't see past the lips firmly planted on his ass.
Has DeSantis announced he is running? All the pearl clutching is premature.
Good lord, you need a life
Way overdue, for sure. We abused our privilege of being the world’s reserve currency, and that is in danger of being replaced with the Yuan via BRICS & beyond.
BTTT!!!!
Unseemly by what standard?
I mentioned some months ago that DeSantis seriously needs to openly denounce RINO presidential endorsements in public, something he has not done.
DeSantis’ Congressional voting record is free for the lookup in the Congressional record. Maybe you should have verified what he voted for/against before you brought your rant here.....I’d post the link here but it’s not MY job to educate the unwashed......do your own research.
Trump is a shack?
No. He said Trump is a track.
That makes no sense. Why would he say Trump is a track?
He didn’t say track. He said Trump is a sack.
A sack? I thought he said Trump is a pack.
Maybe he was trying to say Trump is attack?
A tack?
No. Attack. Not a tack.
JFK was in favor of the Gold Standard! This places him to the right of Trump! We need a true Andrew Jackson, who was disciplined and smashed the swamp of his day.
He has done far more for America than you sitting on your butt complaining about. Far more.

you should pass that along to Trump... lol
1000% correct. Same with Medicaid.
The female lead android is one HOT robot!
WOW! Nice job. Copied, and Pasted to my Desktop. Thanks.
These may be duplicate links to what you just posted and they may include additional accomplishments......either way, I don’t think we can pass President Trump’s accomplishments (in 4 short years) enough!!!! Thanks!!
Maybe 180.
Desantis is definitely the RINO’s choice.... No Thanks!
And Trump is Lindsay Graham’s choice.
That's what you got from my comment?
What's your TikTok channel.
