"The crowd again started shouting 'tax Elon,' 'tax the wealthy,” “tax the rich' and 'tax the billionaires.'" The county went 68% for Trump

It is time to re-implement the 90% tax rate for the top tax bracket.
The modern crop of billionaires are tasteless and have no appreciation for art. Just grind to dust
I wish I could've been there 🍿
A-tellin' me I got to beware
Antifa fuckers all a-round...
And people want to tax Elon
Everyday people speaking their minds
Learnin' how billionaires fucked their behinds
Antifa protesters all a-round...
Wild land fuels reduction (wild fire prevention), timber sales, water storage/management, the recreation economy, money to local schools - Union county depends on the USFS for all of this and more.
Bentz deserves every boo he gets.
I mean, it’d be nice if they woke the fuck up, but they did explicitly vote for this their entire lives
Entire communities completely dependent on the federal government always voting to destroy it as long as it serves their bigotry
I fucking live here and I sure as shit didn't fucking vote for this, thank you very much.
Maybe keep this shit in mind before you fucking speak- not all rural people are fucking Republicans.
And Oregon's got just the moxie to do it!
Can we *please* get someone to nail this hypocrisy down?
Though it IS entertaining to see local MAGA realize how Trump actions will devastate the local economy. First call by Dems re: new EOs? To their Trump voting friends.
Enjoy.
We are fools. Instead of posting here like little kids, why are we not marching, blocking streets, boycotting daily, etc
We are acting like MAGAs. We need to get off our phones and in their faces!
The Constitution says.....
And the United States has never.....
The Constitution says a lot of things we are currently ignoring, something something insurrection
If they can read, why are they surprised by what's happening?

Big if, the democrats hate to win and the republicans hate to hold elections.
The result will be GOP politicians hiding in their bullet-proof Teslas, not holding Trump and the executive arm, accountable.
We also have the impoundment act because Nixon abused his power and withheld funds for programs he opposed.
There's tax write offs for being a humanitarian donating money ..... So you don't have be a scammer
The wannabe Ms & Bs just don't know that apparently
Make sure they suffocate under the weight of the free will of the people.

Fuck them.
Upset a billionaire, who takes $8mil a day from the government, gleeful guts cancer research, food for hungry kids, and Veteran benefits?
Try the old switcheroo!

GO to town halls.
MAKE THEM AFRAID OF YOU MORE than they are afraid of Trump & Musk.
WHILE THEY STILL ARE.
Because IF WE DON'T STOP THEM NOW, at some point, elections WILL get rigged, and they WON'T be afraid of you anymore.
THE TIME IS NOW.
But if another 20M people had voted, Trump would have lost no matter their tactics. And now, a massive turnout is all we have left.
GO to town halls.
MAKE THEM AFRAID OF YOU MORE than they are afraid of Trump & Musk.
WHILE THEY STILL ARE.
Because at some point, elections DO get rigged.
THE TIME IS NOW.

Also, now that telemedicine will no longer be paid for they’re gonna have to drive hours and hours to whatever doctor they want to see
The billionaires with bunkers want the human population to crash to ~1 billion people with a thousand families of wealthy aristocrats.
This is long-termism, and putting "the smartest" in charge. You know, natural leaders, Ivy dropouts.
Hell, we progressives and regular conservative folks can and do agree, and fight for economic fairness together.
FAFO.
“If you just came to yell, I can leave.” Bentz told the audience.
He pointed out that many of his colleagues are not even holding town halls.
Sorry but you don't get to ignore the rule of law because you're impatient.
What did they think Trump was going to do when his ONLY achievement during his first term was to reduce taxes for the 1%???
They are about to find out
Ban billionaires
Too few people have too much of the money.
(It’s because they are inundated with propaganda since birth under a patriarchal capitalist evangelical white supremacist structure and it’s hard to make manifest conceptually a world outside of that)
That’s interesting, considering LaGrande’s in one of the 13 Oregon counties that's been wanting to secede from the state and join red state Idaho. Maybe those Willamette Valley folks have been right in their thinking after all.😉
You're welcome .
He may actually be a somewhat decent guy, but belonging to the cult without regard for the wellbeing of his constituents is despicable.
Bring it.

Republicans are united in their contempt for American citizens
absurd ✅
nearly unbelievable ✅
really happening ✅
funny ❌
where the politics is very very red.
But a Congressional district has about 500k people in most states,
so it's no surprise to find 400 angry enough at Trump to show up for a town hall meeting.
Great message for reelection.
