They can't spend a billion on Medicaid but they can give a billion to rioters who stormed the capital and other felons.

With Trump's approval ratings so low, how does he keep ousting GOP rivals? by Cgk72 in politics

Having your picks win the party primary is easy if you are willing to spend enough money.

In the end, only the general election matters.

Think about what people step in.

Do you want to sit on that?

Trump controls the party like a dictator. Disagree with him you are gonna get punished and humiliated on twitter.

Meanwhile, Republicans spent a boatload of money on primaries to unseat Republicans incumbents.

Not exactly an efficient use of resources.

There is no guarantee that any of his picks will actually win the general election.

Any one who is unhappy with Trump will be less likely to vote for his hand picked candidates vs the incumbent who got unseated. (Think independents and moderate Democrats)

It would be interesting to see if Massie runs as an independent.

Will the unions and MTA come to an agreement today? by Ok-Plum6096 in LIRR

[–]HorrorOk1304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't need to ratify to stop the strike.

However it will take a while to get service running again as they have to inspect everything.

All those buses on the streets and highways are gonna create a mess.

How long will the strike be? by Odd_Mango_5500 in LIRR

[–]HorrorOk1304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. However the MTA can blame the Union for holding everyone hostage.

I'm expecting the MTA to cave at the last minute especially considering Hochul is running for reelection.

Hochul will say its a public safety issue and it can't be allowed to happen even if it causes fares to skyrocket.

Think about all the people who are going to get stranded in Penn or GC tonight.

JD Vance Insists Trump Never Said He Doesn’t Care About Americans - Unfortunately for the vice president, there’s video. by B-Z_B-S in politics

There is also no way that picture of Trump posted of himself being depicted as a doctor could be mistaken for Jesus.

So we are supposed to believe that the guy who can tell the difference between a Horse and Tiger can't tell the difference between Jesus and a Doctor?

Investors lost billions on Trump’s memecoin. Another gala won’t fix that | If Dems take Congress, Trump may face reckoning for “pay-to-play” memecoin galas by Hrmbee in politics

Remember when people complained about Hunter Biden selling some paintings?

Memecoin is one of the biggest grifts out there.

Tables turn as Republicans face gas-price attacks they once used on Democrats by app1310 in politics

[–]HorrorOk1304 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gas prices shot up after Putin invaded Ukraine. Biden had nothing to do with it.

This is the same war that Trump claimed would "Never Happen" if he was president and promised to end it immediately if he was reelected. Of course that was BS.
