Poetic Justice
Buck Banks | Jul. 22, 2026
From Trump’s “stolen election” lies, we can’t get no relief,
He carps on about stolen votes, but he never names the thief.
Somebody needs to tell this guy
Americans aren’t buying his lies,
And that he’s turned us into the United States of Disbelief.
Verbatim
“If you are committing fraud against the American people, all of us in public leadership should be trying to stop it and throw you in prison for enriching yourself off the American taxpayer.”
— Vice President JD Vance, on Fox News.
“Your generation has a great bullshit meter, because you’re fed bullshit online all day. And the Democratic Party brand right now is so bullshit.”
— Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D), quoted by The Atlantic, speaking to college students.
“We are done, Americans are done with endless conflict in the Middle East, spending trillions of dollars, American lives… this is insane and we have to call it for what it is.”
— Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO), on CNN.

$4,600
President Donald Trump is asking for $1,500,000 million for the military for next year. That’s close to $600 billion (adjusted for inflation) more than we were spending on the military in fiscal year 2025, before Trump took office, Alternet reports. This increase is huge by any measure. It comes to around $4,600 per household. It is around 8% of the total budget.

61% to 35%
Wall Street Journal: “Around 40% of voters in the 2024 election said the economy was their top issue, far outstripping any other matter. And those voters favored Donald Trump by 60% to 38%. Many say they were moved by his pledges to tame inflation, rebuild U.S. infrastructure, cut red tape and trim government waste. … About a year and a half later, more voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy than approve, 61% to 35%, an average of polls by the Cook Political Report found this month.”

Yes, she is that stupid, as is Palin, Buchannan, Angle, Brewer……
This statement shows that McDonnell doesn’t keep up with what goes on in the federal government or hasn’t done much reading about the history of our government in the modern era. It is shameful that some people who will vote for her think she has a valid point when she doesn’t. That she doesn’t know that Article 1, Section 9 is related to America’s colonial period and our founders’ rocky relationship with King George III shows that she doesn’t know as much as she thinks she knows.
Who better to represent the stupid masses?
majii,I believe you are wrong.Art 1 section can be interpreted to fit today
