Several have killed themselves, which was not unexpected behavior for crazy people. Didn't one of your relatives kill himself? Crazy runs in your family. (Parenthetically, crazy runs in every Trump voter's family I'm familiar with. So many dark and deeply disturbing family memories Trump voters are trying to expunge by supporting him.)

The guns are the only reason that you Democrats weren't throwing people like me in concentration camps over a cold like they were doing in Australia during the plandemic.
You dumb, scared, propagandized motherfuckers were wrong about everything for two years.
You want crime to go down? Let cops do their fucking jobs again and stop letting blacks run wild and do whatever they want to do because black. Most of those dead kids are black kids.

You don't know shit, dummy.
How about I post the links to the articles you've plagiarized and the thread that documents all of the violent fantasies you've got floating around in that diseased head of yours again?
You should be more careful and not allow me to get under your skin so easily. You've had quite a few posts recently that sound just like your banned Reaverfan handle.

He doesn't. There's other things in it for him such as book deals, positions at shit factories like FOX News, maybe a position on the cabinet if Trump dies of old age before he beats Biden* in 2024.
Mike Pence was a shitty governor and a shitty VP.
At least he was better than Kamala though.

Chris Christie is going to run for President. 
Bring it you old, fat bitch.
Die hard Republican voters would write in Hillary Clinton rather than vote for you.

If you follow half-truths and falsehoods down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, it is believed by people who research this you cannot come back. If you do this because you are upset about something in life, if you do this for whatever reason, you fail.

Listen up folks, facts will not go away. No matter how much you try to shape facts to suit you, you can't. Facts stand-alone without prejudice. The harder you try to lie about or dismiss a fact, the more you expose it to be true. Listen to Christie, he is saying what I and mainstream media have been saying for half a decade now.
tick tock, boy do I love facts.

Trumptards constantly brag about the "success" of Texas, a Trumptard territory, presuming that it reflects well on Trump. Trumptards cannot understand that one Saudi Arabian prince has more control over Texas’ "success" than all the Trumptards in Texas working together, plus Trump.
Texas’ property tax savings depend on Saudi dictator’s success
CHRIS TOMLINSON COMMENTARY
Associated Press/Saudi Press Agency
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s production cut, which takes 1 percent of the world’s oil supply off the market, failed to accomplish its intended effect of boosting prices.
Saudi Arabia is desperately trying to drive up oil prices so the government can make its budget; whether it succeeds will decide Texas’ property taxes too.
After an uncharacteristically contentious OPEC oil cartel meeting Sunday, Saudi Arabia said it would take 1 million barrels of crude off the market every day beginning in July to prop up global prices. That’s in addition to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, including Russia, agreeing to extend existing cuts into 2024.
The Brent global benchmark price for oil initially jumped 2.5 percent but dropped back to Friday’s closing price of roughly $75 a barrel. Analysts believe Saudi Arabia needs $81 a barrel to cover government expenses, which leaves the kingdom in an awkward position if prices don’t rise soon.
Texas’ government revenues are also vulnerable to low oil prices.
About 38 percent of the state’s economic activity in recent years has been tied to locating and drilling new oil and gas wells. Texas’ $33 billion budget surplus came partly from sales taxes on drilling activity and direct taxes on oil coming out of the ground at prices above $100 a barrel, as they were early last year.
When prices drop, drilling activity slows and so does tax revenue. Different institutions have tried to stabilize oil flows and prices for a long time but with varying success.
From the Great Depression to the early 1970s, the Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates the state’s oil and gas industry, helped stabilize oil prices by assigning production quotas. As Texas oil production shrank and Middle East oil began to dominate world markets, OPEC took over the role and has tried to manage global supply ever since.
As the world’s largest producer, Saudi Arabia has been the de facto OPEC leader. But the cartel’s power has waned as a brash Saudi crown prince assumed control, Texas emerged again as an oil exporter and Russia invaded Ukraine.
Oil traders, who determine prices by buying and selling contracts for future sales, shrugged off Saudi’s decision to take 1 percent of the world’s oil supply off the market. In the past, such a production cut would have triggered price jumps.
Last year, when wealthy countries began economically isolating Russia, traders drove prices up to $120 a barrel amid fear of losing 10 percent of world supply. But the United States and the European Union instead put a price cap on Russian oil to limit profits. Russia kept exporting, and the price cap drove down prices.
OPEC analysts, meanwhile, expected Chinese demand to bounce back this summer after the government lifted COVID-19 controls. But the world’s second-largest economy has not grown as expected, leaving oil exporters and traders disappointed.
Finally, many economists predict worldwide inflation and high interest rates will put the U.S. and other major economies into a recession in the second half of 2023. Traders know economic slowdowns decrease oil demand, reduce prices and create oil gluts.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s unilateral production cut was insufficient to overcome oil traders’ expectations that supply and demand are balanced. Something else must happen before prices return to the $85-a-barrel mark and make the industry and OPEC happy.
Consumers may welcome stable gasoline prices this summer, but Texas politicians should worry about how much they are spending and on what. Gov. Greg Abbott
