A free message for All Democrats to repeat as a soundbite:

So Republicans:

You can't pass trillion of dollar taxcuts for the uber wealthy AND fight a war with Iran at the same time. Which one do you support?

(Neither answer is a good one for the American public)

You're welcome!

Republicans actually have agency in spite of conventional wisdom around here.

Unfortunately voters elected Trump and gave Republicans in Congress the majority. Until we win the midterms, Republicans have the votes in Congress to do what they

Both politically, and for actual violence. Maybe they will think about it and send a message that they consider.

9. Of course, we can't afford either

but they'll do both. Plus a very expensive expulsion of immigrants, concentration camps, the works.

It will be more critical than ever that they cut "entitlements" to pay for the above.
And they'll still balloon the deficit.

That's what you get with a president who had never had to budget personally in his life. He thinks he is entitled to have everything he wants, and it doesn't include anything any of us actually need.

its ok for them to whine about the deficit when a democratic pres is in . but, when a r pres is in that concern is thrown out the window.

He just clowned and played dumb as long as he was in office. The GOP loved it and never did anything to stop him or fix what we broke.

Why would Trump do different?

This is what Republicans ALWAYS DO!!!

16. I agree. However, put them on the spot and make them squirm.

Sometimes asking a question is not just to seek an answer, rather, it's to draw attention to people who can't or won't answer a question.
