I am begging the GOP to adopt the following platform:
Abortion - 16 weeks with exceptions, adoption reform & expanded child tax credit
Healthcare - transition to a Singapore or Swiss style system
Social security - raise the income cap to 1m and index it to inflation
Republicans really do need to get their platform together.
Are they protectionist or for free trade?
Are they for total abortion bans or for 15 weeks
Are they isolationist? Interventionist? Coalitionist? Non interventionists?
What’s the environmental policy?

Because Chicago has a lot of Irish people. No one is stopping English people from doing this on St. George’s day. but they haven’t been a cultural force in Chicago since the early 1900s
@ProgNewDealer
White people crossing: wow it must be getting really bad where they come from
Brown people crossing: why don’t you stay and make you’re country better rather than diluting the blood in ours
@WiltonRedfield
Again English people have been culturally irrelevant here since the early 1900s. if you want to make a celebration you sure can, your peoples cultural apathy is not my problem tho, nor is it the concern of the Irish

Brutally bad policy. Teach kids at their level. Not everyone is going to be good at math, but the kids that are should get better as soon as they are able.
It’s in their best interest and society’s
Listen, I’m not a politician and I say some pretty dumb stuff sometimes, but I’m pretty sure two thing I’d know to avoid saying while I’m running are:
1. I shot my dog for funsies
2. I have actual worms in my brain
To help you understand how moronic this is, here’s a list of cities and their populations within St. Louis distance
Indianapolis 800k
Detroit 630k
Louisville 620k
Milwaukee 550k
Cleveland 360k
Cincinnati 300k
St. Louis 293k
Springfield 113k
Champaign 89k

The stress that having a glass of wine like that on a plastic tray on a plane would cause me if there was even the slightest turbulence 😵💫
My grandpa who does not believe in climate change will tell me all the time about when he used to ice river bike race in Michigan and I asked him why they don’t do that any more he says “river doesn’t freeze, just doesn’t get as cold as it used to” 🙃
Vladimir Putin to Tucker Carlson:
"We are thousands of miles away… You have issues on your border, issues with migration, issues with national debt at $33 trillion."
"You have nothing better to do than fight in Ukraine? Would it be better to negotiate?"
PDT are pathetic cucks.
The dude was right to mock that morbidly obese communist b¡t¢h.
Fat, ugly leftists should be shamed and denigrated in the cruelest of ways.
@ARandomDem1
The family values you see in the Romney family vs the Trump family pretty much tells you all you need to know about how unserious the Republican Party has become
🚨Just in: President Trump is winnowing down his Vice Presidential selection to👇

Florida Senator Marco Rubio
Ohio Senator JD Vance

Market intervention to stop technological progress because the new method requires less labor. That’s what’s wrong.
Maybe we should ban skid steers & wheel barrels too, that way we could put more people to work.

The weird part to me is that even the most liberal states literally kept viability as their bar, so republicans are screaming about 15 weeks vs 24 rather than 15 weeks vs 40.
House Republicans have voted against a Biden admin rule capping credit card fees at $8 a month.
Chairman Andy Barr said "the vast majority of Americans" want high fees.
Completely out of touch. Nobody supports these junk fees.
For any high achieving person, there is literally no financial incentive to work in congress. 175k is what you get starting at BCG after you mba. Zero $ incentive for high achieving early and mid career people, this is how you end up with a bunch a geriatrics

@ChicagosMayor
No one can be this inept. Why the hell did you appoint a pastors to transit board. I swear this city is hanging by one thick ass thread call JB Pritzker
Stunning City Council moment: Mayor Brandon Johnson's proposed RTA appointment, Rev. Ira Acree, was asked about the agency's very public upcoming $735 million budget shortfall.
"Well, number one, this is my first time hearing about a $735 million shortfall,” he said.
Chicago - Lafayette - Indy - Bloomington - Louisville is the same distance, adds two college towns rather than 1 and with just Indy and Louisville alone would provide for a million more people 🙃

You’re acting like Israel is going to roll in and murder very man woman and child they see which is a hallmark of Hamas, not Israel

What’s the environmental policy?
If we have
1. Some form of universal HC
2. Mandatory paid maternity leave
3. Review board for medical exceptions post 12 weeks
4. Federal law superseding state law (legalized below 12 weeks)
Would you support a federal abortion ban after the first trimester?
If no, why? ⬇️

This map isn’t right, Chicago should have a polish dot, Minnesota should have some Swedish ones, Iowa should have a few more Dutch ones in Pella and the Amana colonies.
I wouldn’t trust this
Kinda crazy today to think the intellectual right in the 80s was led by a black man, a Jew and a Catholic that spoke Spanish and French before he ever learned English
@mkoska215
Yes because
1. No one goes to the fucking capital
2. St. Louis is a trash heap that’s why less than 10% of the metro pop lives downtown
3. There are other places we could build at the same distance that would cover greater population
It’s incredibly important that the magadonians of Virginia get out and vote for Donald Trump tomorrow
This is the only other contest where Nikki Haley is competitive due to the large number of defense contractors, lobbyists and other swampers in NOVA
Don’t stay home
It kinda crazy how fast seeing shit like this takes me from being a liberal conservative Phil Scott type to a lock up those dirty hippies Richard Nixon Stan

He’s originally from Madison where he grew up and went to school. He’s been a developer in the state for a long time, he travels very frequently because he’s the CEO of a bank in Cali as well.
The US now has 48% of the world's stock market cap due to the decline of Chinese markets, led by a total collapse in privately owned Chinese corporations relative to state-owned enterprises
Who's ready for a second American century, baabyyyyy
