Probably because it’s a donor state and helps fund red state welfare.

I’m just one man and there is so much undoing of bad economics. Not so much the kids. They’re alright. It’s the older generations that need my help.

Wait a minute, are you holding yourself up as a professor of economics? That's like Bobcat pretending he's a Mensa member. This when you've also advocated for the kinds of restrictive tariffs that you are also now railing against? Do your students get to see both sides of your face at the same time or do you just stand in profile so they can't see the cognitive dissonance in real time?

You sir, have zero sense of humor. Which is so damn surprising coming from an engineer.

Nobody has too

Correct. But their employers benefit from the productivity of a healthy workforce in a system still largely based on employer provided healthcare.

There’s also that whole crazy idea of caring for the sick and the poor.

If you want something, pay for it yourself. Dont be a leach, its shameful

Pence says January 6 attack’s failure ‘became a triumph of freedom’ as he receives JFK Profile in Courage Award

“Our institutions held that day, not because of any one person, but because leaders in both political parties, Republicans and Democrats, did their duties,” the former vice president said while receiving the award for putting his life and career on the line in rejecting President Donald Trump’s pressure to overturn the 2020 election. “So I came tonight to give credit where credit is due, but also to say in these divided times, in these anxious days, I know in my heart that we will find our way forward as one nation.”

Pence refused when Trump repeatedly pressured him to overturn the results of the 2020 election, fraying the relationship between the two men. Pence was presiding as Congress counted Electoral College votes to certify Joe Biden’s victory when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The vice president, his wife, Karen; and his daughter, Charlotte, remained in the Capitol while police beat back the rioters, and Pence later oversaw the election’s certification.

“January 6 was a tragic day,” Pence said Sunday. “But it became a triumph of freedom. And history will record that our institutions held.”

How did the MAQA candidates do in Australia and Canada (possibly our 60-63rd states)?

What MAGA candidates?
There was no MAGA candidate in Canada. Poilievre is a socially left liberal CINO.

Not as familiar with Australia, but from what I looked up, the Dutton guy definitely not MAGA.

Only because they lost. If they’d won you’d be trumpeting it.

No, because back in the winter when it looked like the Conservative Party was going to run away with it (maybe even a majority govt) I saw where a lot of the right was saying don’t get excited this Poilievre guy isn’t a conservative. Would he be preferable to Carney and the Liberal Patry winning a minority govt? Yes.. But OTOH, if things continue to suck in Canada, the Conservative Party (only been around since 1993 & did have its best showing ever last week) would get the blame if they had won a minority govt.

Speaking of Canada, 2 kids lives are on the line, but hey, it’s more important to next level virtue signal 1st. Anyone with half a brain would have refused to make an ass of themselves in public like that.
