Yeah, well.

There are other polls.

Democrats need to be seen as fighting for the medical welfare and security of millions, Democrats and Republicnas.

My local MAGA Congressman is not doing that.

This is why he's decided to go into hiding.

The Republicans control the White House, both houses of Congress and the Supreme Court. So of course this isn't their fault.

MAGATS are ------- Imbeciles.

Maybe if the Republicans weren't trying to literally kill off part of the population they might have some credibility on this.
But they are.
So they don't.

Maybe if you Democrats were not trying to give medical care to illegal aliens, these things would pass.

Vance called out two Biden-era programs "that explicitly gave the taxpayer health care money to illegal aliens that we turned off when President Trump took over in January."

Americans first you idiots.

Chapter and verse, Boaz, chapter and verse.
Can't do it?
Because it's a lie.
You really are pathetic, recycling that boolsheet.
But it's all you confetti brain jackaroos have got.

The article you posted makes no mention of Biden era programs.

When you click on the hyperlinks for said Biden era programs it doesn't take you to anything other than other Fox news articles that provide zero facts.

Then there's a fact Vance is on record saying lying is OK because he needs to get people's attention.

Also, I see nothing wrong with providing undocumented immigrants with emergency healthcare service.

You gotta be a real ------- piece of ---- to not give a ---- about other human beings

But then again, you are a deplorable Trumping MAGAt, so I repeat myself

#12,

So what Clownshack.

No one gives a ----. We, the American people are tired of supporting the rest of the world. Maybe they can go to their nations and get healthcare.

You gotta be a real ------- piece of ---- to not give a ---- about other human beings

I care about American human beings first.

But you can have YOUR money taken out of your paycheck or welfare and have it go to other people. There is nothing stopping you..

Comrade Boazo can lie and rant and rave all he wants.

Fortunately Comrade Boazo has no say in the matter.

"Nearly two-thirds of American voters say that the Democrats in Congress shouldn't force a federal government shutdown if their demands are not met, according to a new national poll"

I guess that explains why Democrats didn't force a government shutdown!

But Boaz hasn't figured that out yet.

#20 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-10-01 04:02 PM

Boaz still can't respond beyond babbling when asked to explain how the lies he posts are facts.
But that's the way it is, when all you have are lies.
Right, Boaz?
Gawd, what a lewzer.

You. Are. Not. The. American. People.

You're not even close to representing a normal American.

You're a lunatic fringe full of narcissistic rage.

I care about American human beings first.

Bulls*&^.

You care about yourself. That's it. You've made that abundantly clear here for many years.

#22 | Posted by jpw at 2025-10-01 04:39 PM

Lunatic fringe
I know you're out there
You're (no longer) in hiding
And you hold your meetings
I can hear you coming

And we know what you're after
We're wise to you this time
(We're wise to you this time)
We won't let you kill the laughter

Lunatic fringe
In the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far

#23 | Posted by donnerboy at 2025-10-01 05:20 PM

-We, the American people are tired of supporting the rest of the world.

That's what people say in polls

Even the left says that at times.

But this issue gets drowned out on Election Day.

It's just a wedge issue nothing more.

"We, the American people are tired of supporting the rest of the world."

Atlas Shrugged.

That's why they think that.

Every last Republican will tell you Ayn Rand was a visionary genius.

When in truth she writes Economic Harry Potter stories for low morals people like herself.

#25 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-10-01 06:57 PM

Nazis first. MAGA first. Same difference. That is what you support, Boaz. Fascism.

#26 | Posted by hamburglar at 2025-10-01 07:13 PM

I wonder if Mencken ever regretted putting Ayn Rand into the public sphere.

This is why they didn't negotiate with Democrats, and Alexa and many other Lumpers commenting on this very thread couldn't understand it.

#28 | Posted by oneironaut at 2025-10-01 07:59 PM

This is why they didn't negotiate with Democrats,

And now the government is shut down.

Way to go MAGA.

Also, Mike Johnson still refuses to swear on the new democratic representative from Arizona.

Republicants shut the government down to save PEDO DONNIE

The GOP wanted the government to shut down.

They refused to negotiate at all with the democrats.

Trumps little johnson sent his members home on vacation.

Do I want the government shut down? No.

But their promise to deal with the repeal of ACA subsidies with a later bill is just a lie. They have no intention of giving up what they have been trying to do for the past 15 years.

Any Rand aka Alyssa Rosenbaum, was the mother of modern day fascism. She was so against socialism but had no problem cashing government checks, see social security. A hypocrite of the highest degree.

PS. Talk about a Fugly bitch!

Her Superman hero was a child murderer and serial killer:

"Ayn Rand was infamously fascinated with William Hickman, a child murderer and serial killer, whom she described as a heroic Nietzschean "Superman". In the 1920s, Rand began writing a novel called The Little Street based on the Hickman murder case, but the work was never published.

In her notes for The Little Street, Rand wrote at length about her admiration for Hickman, seeing him as an exceptional, brilliant individual misunderstood by the masses.

She described him as a "Superman" archetype, a man who "really stands alone, in action and in soul".

Rand was impressed by Hickman's complete disregard for society's moral rules and norms, a quality she associated with the Nietzschean "bermensch, or "superman"."

www.google.com

She was like the Original Trumper; with their idolizing the Super Orange Man.

#34: Hi Corky: If you recall, in Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead, architect Howard Roark rapes Dominique Francon; the attack takes place near page 200 of the paperback edition. The film version sort of kind of covers it: static.wikia.nocookie.net
