Republican Congressman Chip Roy asks his colleagues what they have accomplished in 2023.

The success of Kamala Harris is far more impressive than that of Donald Trump.  Harris came from a middle class background, was raised by a single mother, and worked at a McDonalds when she was in college.

Donald Trump inherited millions on dollars, yet filed for bankruptcy a number of times.


Donald Trump claims to be so physically fit, yet he avoided serving in Vietnam.


The Democratic Party encourages people to vote, while the Republican Party tries to suppress people from voting. 


No one doubted the fairness of our federal elections until Donald Trump lost in 2020. 


The Democratic Party allows women to make their own reproductive choice. The Republican Party abortion bans will result in young women and girls becoming mothers well before they are ready. 


Young people have the most to lose by abortion bans - namely their career.  One of the most common reasons young women drop out of school is because they get pregnant. Under the Democrats they have a choice. Under the Republicans they do not.


Under the Republican's Pro-Life platform, some young women will end up dropping out of college to care for their baby. Which means they won't get the type of job they want, and end up with a baby they didn't want.


Not only will the Republican's Pro-Life platform result in many women living in poverty, Donald Trump will then mock them for being poor. How do I know - because he mocks all the migrants at our southern border, migrants who most of which came from Pro-Life countries (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Belize ...etc).  


If 16 and 17 year old girls are old enough to be a mother (per the Republican Pro-Life agenda), then they are old enough to vote.  


During the debate Donald Trump claimed "in Springfield (Ohio), they're (immigrants) are eating the dogs..." Copy and paste the link to see it.

That's the leader of the Republican Party.  Because of his false statements, there have been bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio.


Donald Trump says, in an interview in the link below, abortion is a small issue. That's probably because he got $60.7 million dollars from his father.  A sweeping new investigative report published by The New York Times says that Trump’s father, Fred Trump, had lent his son at least $60.7 million, and that much of it was never repaid.  


It's pretty easy to pay for daycare, formula, diapers, doctor visits, medicine, clothes, baby food....etc, when you get $60.7 million from daddy. 

In no way, shape, or form is having a child a small issue for most people in America.

Donald Trump is totally out of touch with people. In the same interview he lies about Tim Walz, and says even Democrats are happy Roe was overturned - another lie.  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9UPpgLTJB4


Some young men may not be very interested in the Pro-choice / Pro-Life issue right now, but consider this:  You are financially responsible for any children that are yours.  So even if you split up with the mom, you will be on the hook for child support for 18 years.  That could mean paying $500 per month, maybe $700 per month, for 18 years. 


This is from Rep Frank Pallone Jr who represents New Jersey's 6th Congressional District regarding the overturning of Roe:  

"One of the most alarming revelations is the significant decline in hands-on abortion training for OBGYN residents in states with severe abortion restrictions or bans.  In some cases, residents are relegated to theoretical instruction or simulations on pieces of fruit. Imagine a scenario in which your doctor has only managed life-threatening pregnancy complications on dragon fruit."


Instead of killing two birds with one stone, Democrats would rather save two birds with one net.


Vote for the Democrats, who try to save animals and the environment, not for the party that shoots dogs.


Vote for the presidential candidate that focuses on policies, not the candidate that focuses on race.


United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain endorses Kamala Harris for president.  During the Democratic National Convention he stated that in 2023 she helped bring jobs back to Lordstown, OH.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rg2DEvyIYMw


How could a presidential candidate be Pro-Life, but against the Affordable Care Act?  So you want a child brought into the world, but don't care whether or not they can get medical treatment?  Really?  


Donald Trump will say he will make a better health care plan than the ACA, but it won't happen.  Didn't he promise to build a wall and secure the southern border.  How does the southern border look?  The southern border is a disaster. Imagine what his health care plan would be like.


Donald Trump will NEVER create a nationwide healthcare system that's better than ObamaCare. It took Barack Obama years to get the Affordable Care Act through Congress.  Donald Trump will never work that hard.  He'd rather play golf and send out 20,000 tweets.


Remember that nothing is EVER Donald Trump's fault.  He has the "two-step" down pretty well.  

Step one: Screw something up.
Step two: Blame someone else.


This held true during his presidential debate against Kamala Harris.  Donald Trump did a terrible job, so he blamed the debate moderators from ABC. He ALWAYS has an excuse for his failures. 



Does anyone notice that almost all the countries in Latin America and some in South America have a Pro-Life policy - which is contributing to the chaos at our southern border.  Note the contrast with our northern border with Canada, where abortion is legal.


Donald Trump's initial position on the Florida abortion amendment: “I’m going to be voting that we need more than six weeks,” he told NBC.  But some evangelicals were critical of those remarks. So now Trump says he will vote against the amendment, meaning keeping the 6 week abortion ban in place. So the guy that brags about overturning Roe is now flip flopping on abortion issues. What an ass.  Seems like he can't control the Frankenstein Monster he created.


Donald Trump endorses Mark Robinson in the North Carolina governor's race.  Mark Robinson called Martin Luther King a socialist. Robinson is a holocaust denier.  He called the holocaust hogwash. 

Donald Trump stated that Robinson is better than Martin Luther King.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st51hduqLPk


Mark Robinson claimed "Some people need killing" during a recent church service. When a reporter asked him to clarify his remark, he got mad and walked away.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmDvNs4HMio

And through all of this, Donald Trump still endorses Mark Robinson.



On September 4th, 2024 there was a shooting in a High School in Georgia. Four people were killed. The following day Republican Lauren Boebert called gun deaths "a drop in the bucket".  What an ass.  I'd like her to show up to the funerals of those killed and make that statement.  But a coward like her would never do that.

Trump's judges let their religious beliefs outweigh legal principles, like in the case below:


U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, an appointee of former President Donald, sparked a legal firestorm with an unprecedented ruling halting approval of the nation’s most common method of abortion, is a former attorney for a religious liberty legal group with a long history pushing conservative causes.


We definitely do not want more judges like this. Your right to a medicine is taken away because a judge is against it.  There was no legal basis for his ruling.  Hence, his ruling was overturned by a higher court

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/abortion-pill-decision-latest-contentious-ruling-by-trump-appointed-texas-judge


Donald Trump spends more time trying to come up with clever names for his opponents than he does trying to develop a political platform and agenda.  His only solution is to drill.  It's no coincidence that he filed for bankruptcy 6 times.  


In response to the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, Kamala Harris supported the call for more gun control. Saying thoughts and prayers are an inadequate answer to the shooting.     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Kamala_Harris


Kamala Harris will try to reduce the number of assault rifles in the United States.  Donald Trump will not.


Donald Trump would like to outlaw newspapers, just like they do in Russia. The Democratic Party supports the press.


Donald Trump claims Fani Willis and Alvin Bragg are racist, simply because they indicted him for various crimes.  So when Trump loses in court he casts the judicial system as corrupt - just like he does with the election system in the U.S.   


The Democrats will will not mandate that any religion will be taught in public schools. The Republicans are doing just that.  


The Republicans do not like poor people because they need the most government services...Medicaid, SNAP programs, affordable housing....etc.  But when you ban abortion, you get more poor people.


On July 1 the Supreme Court ruled that former President Trump is at least presumptively immune from criminal liability for his official acts, and is absolutely immune for some “core” of them — including his attempts to use the Justice Department to obstruct the results of the election.   So do you want that maniac back as president, who would  now be above the law in certain instances?    ABSOLUTELY NOT.


President Biden and Vice President Harris passed the CHIPS Act:

The CHIPS and Science Act is a U.S. federal statute enacted by the 117th United States Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden on August 9, 2022. The act authorizes roughly $280 billion in new funding to boost domestic research and manufacturing of semiconductors in the United States.


President Biden and Vice President Harris passed the Inflation Reduction Act:

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) is a landmark[1][2] United States federal lawwhich aims to reduce the federal government budget deficit, lower prescription drug prices, and invest in domestic energy production while promoting clean energy


President Biden and Vice President Harris passed the American Rescue Plan which allocated $350 billion in assistance to state and local governments, $14 billion for COVID-19 vaccine distribution, and $130 billion to schools to help them safely re-open for in-person instruction. The Act included $300 billion in unemployment benefits that were scheduled to extend through Labor Day 2021, as well as an expanded child tax credit. In addition, the Act called for the distribution of $50 billion to small businesses and another $25 billion for relief for small and mid-sized restaurants.


Vice President Harris has put forward a comprehensive plan to build three million more rental units and homes that are affordable to end the national housing supply crisis in her first term. She knows rent is too high and will sign legislation to outlaw new forms of price fixing by corporate landlords.

To help small businesses and entrepreneurs innovate and grow, Kamala Harris will expand the startup expense tax deduction for new businesses from $5,000 to $50,000


As President, Kamala will fight to lower care costs for American families, including by expanding high-quality home care services for seniors and people with disabilities and ensuring hardworking families can afford high-quality child care, all while ensuring that care workers are paid a living wage.


The song below should be played at every Kamala Harris rally, for all the times Donald Trump disparages her appearance or race.  Here is just a portion of it:

"There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark.You should know you're beautiful just the way you are.And you don't have to change a thing, the world could change its heart.No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWASeaYuHZo



Here is a song Donald Trump can sing about himself. Below is a portion of the lyrics.

One minute, I held the keyNext the walls were closed on meAnd I discovered that my castles standUpon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.

                            Donald Trump

Republicans want an authoritarian president because voting is not working for them. Every time a state has put abortion on the ballot, the citizens of that state have voted to keep it legal. So the only way the GOP can restrict abortion access is with a national ban. 


Russia has an authoritarian president, Putin.  Trump calls Putin's invasion of Ukraine a genius decision.


Donald Trump wants to be a dictator, that's why he hates voting and disparages our voting system.


"Georgia Republican condemns GOP for staying mum as Trump throws sucker punches’ at Kemp"

"Donald Trump is a felonious thug who walks down the street and throws sucker punches at people like Brian Kemp, like African American journalists, like John McCain, and the list goes on and on and on again,”“This 10 percent in the middle — which now feels like it’s growing to be bigger than 10 percent in the middle that’s going to decide this election — are paying attention, and I’ve never seen a human be more self-destructive than Donald Trump the last two weeks,”   
Former Georgia Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan.

I love Geoff Duncan for making the above statement. He also spoke at the Democratic National Convention. That night he said this "I am a Republican. But tonight I stand here as an American, an American that cares more about the future of this county than the future of Donald Trump. Our party [Republican Party] is not civil or conservative, it's chaotic and crazy. And the only thing left to do is dump Trump. If you vote for Kamal Harris, you're not a Democrat, you're a patriot"


I want to honor the following Republicans for their courage in supporting the constitution over Donald Trump and not cowering to the bully:

Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Geoff Duncan, Brad Raffensperger, Brian Kemp, Larry Hogan, Chris Christie


On the border bill, read below and you'll see Donald Trump does not put America first:

In essence, the border bill was not bad for America, just the opposite.

The border security bill was only bad for one thing — Donald Trump’s campaign.

Court agrees to send: Bigoted border bill to voters

The things Sinema’s bill was designed to do would have rendered the centerpiece of Trump’s entire campaign irrelevant.

So, he ordered his MAGA cohorts in Congress to kill it, and they did. And now Trump is going to the border to complain about a crisis that he personally willed to exist.

Donald Trump says he puts America first, yet he hopes the stock market crashes in 2024 so he has a better chance of winning the presidential election.  That is NOT putting America first.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pUzzoHF6ixE


Under Donald Trump the 
highest level at which the Dow Jones closed was 30931. Then he said the market will crash under Joe Biden.  On September 13, 2024, the Dow Jones closed at 41394.  Shove that number up your ass Donald.


Donald Trump is so desperate for support and endorsements, he posts a fake AI image of Taylor Swift, falsely suggesting he has the singer's support.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/19/politics/donald-trump-taylor-swift-ai/index.html


Donald Trump says he has a great relationship with God and that the Bible is his favorite book. So let's sum this up. Donald Trump claims to be Pro-Life, but yet he is not in favor of a national abortion ban. "Trump’s crystallizing stance appears to be, in essence, a recognition that a federal abortion ban could cost him in the 2024 election". Is there a particular chapter and verse in the Bible that states that the position of God is to protect the unborn - up until the point where Donald Trump starts to lose votes?  Somebody please fill me in.  In reality, Donald Trump was never Pro-Life. He fooled the Evangelicals to get elected in 2016 by getting their votes. Now, because he needs the votes of suburban women, his position is that he is against a national abortion ban. Donald Trump cares much more about votes than he does about any embryo or fetus. It's not even close.
