Billy from the Great Socialist Welfare (Redundant) State of Oklahoma. This should be your greeting when he calls. Then fire off 'Bill, why has your state needed so much of MY MONEY over the last 43 years?' Curious to hear what his response might be, if he has one. Oklahoma, just another Failed Red State.

If you want some numbers to throw at him, 1981-2005: averaged $1.24 Return on Federal Tax Dollar. 1981-2015: averaged $1.26 Return on Federal Tax Dollar. 1981-2020: averaged $1.32 Return on Federal Tax Dollar. Got significantly worse in those last 5 years. Looks like Socialism to me. Billy's problems are staring back at him in the mirror each morning.

all I can say is you can't fix stupid. If you voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and if you intend to in 2024, you are stupid!! he doesn't care about you, he is a narcissistic prick, he has always been one!! it is always about him. I can't get my head around how he has any followers except that they are stupid!! All I can say is it is a cult, but I think things are starting to really implode.

He tried to provoke you, Mike, but you didn't take the bait. Once Biden is reelected and Democrats take back the House and expand the Senate, they need to do something about this runaway train of corporate propaganda media, including social media. The alternate reality that people like Billy live in has become too mainstream. I hope against hope that the right wing echo chamber will become fringe once again.

He doesn't remember the world being on fire, because Faux News didn't bother to tell him! And now they are telling him how bad Joe is AND he is all in!

I think the fairness doctrine needs to be brought back, when Reagan dismantled that it ushered in the likes Fox news, Newsmax, and OAN. It is ridiculous!! also, we need to figure how to deprogram these people who believe the bullshit and post nonsense.

Hi Mike, I don’t know how you do it Mike, but you are most of the time very patient with folks like Billy the Idiot.. You bring facts, logic and concise language to people like Billy the Idiot. These folks are are in a MAGA information silo through FAUX, OAN, Newsmax or any number of MAGA YouTube videos.. I would really appreciate it if you could ask folks like Billy the Idiot…. Do you live in the basement of your parent home, do you have a job, do you have a significant other? Thank you Mike for all you do.

It’s very he only cares about himself. He doesn’t care about the country just being a dictator. It’s all about him and trying his best to sabotage president Biden‘s administration, no matter what cost. He’s been trying to sabotage his ministration since day one. That’s not someone who cares about the country it’s someone who only cares about themselves and their power. If it weren’t for his cüLt base…if he didn’t have them…. the GOP would drop him like a hot potato 🥔 a long time ago! Those who believe that the world wasn’t on fire when Trump was in office, need to but refuse to open up their eyes and look around the entire globe 🌎.

As I always say…. We need to blow this out of the park 2024!

I use to work with a man who worshipped Trump. He was very caught up in the Right Wing News echo chamber. They have no idea what’s really going on in the world.

The rabid squirrels living inside Billy’s head have officially chewed through all the wires.

It's funny how "stable" things can be when the President is in bed with one of our country's more... aggressive adversaries.

He likely has not seen the headline that Giuliani announced he is near bankruptcy. Giuliani is just one of the many who joined Trump and ended up in a much worse situation.

How many more people are willing to work for Trump and risk everything?

Convenient memory, those MAGAs

Trump is a supporter of CRINK, which is China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. CRINK's plan is to create regional wars (Syria, Ukraine, Gaza and more to come) and support each other. The west will be drained of military hardware and money, in the same way Reagan started Star Wars and spent the Soviet Union into bankruptcy. (Putin never forgot that). Part of the plan is to create refugees who will then attempt to enter the free democracies of Europe and the US, which together with the disinformation coming out of CRINK, destabilizes their democracies. Several congress people also support CRINK, known collectively as the Freedom Caucus.

If Trump gets into power, he will align the US with CRINK against the EU. All I can say is you ain't seen nothing yet.
