If I didn't know who Kari Lake was, I would assume that's just a fair criticism of every Middle East country except for Israel.

I don't know what his specific intention was by tweeting that but what I do know is that Colton Duncan is someone who felt the need to put this in his Twitter and Instagram profiles.
"Based Political Operative hated by both the Left & the spineless RINOS on the right".

Colton is the guy who also feels the need to tweet a bunch of shit stirring things. Such as this.....

Interesting that the GOP wants to Make America Great Again by taking on the policies of what they deem to be Third World nations and people who they look at and assume are terrorists.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Yeah, I wish it was hard to believe, but sadly, it isn't.

Things would be much easier if the randalls would just drop the front and admit what this is really all about.

Why do you think I've been posting "conservative" republican for over a decade.

well, without migrants to work the fields and meat plants, who else is there to ensure ‘muricans have cheap food to waste?

The proposed 2024 Republican budget also includes efforts to:
Cut Social Security & Medicare
Make Trumps tax cuts for the top 1% permanent
Impose work requirements on “all federal benefit programs" like food stamps & Medicare
Extend work requirements on those aged 55-64

if you're all suppled up to that big succulent juicy teet. reaping all those benefits paid for by the working folks in the greatest country in the world. asking you to work and contribute doesn't seem like too much. get out there and cut some grass. shovel the snow. pick up some garbage. plant some flowers. anything to contribute to the greater good.

doesn't seem like too much to ask.

Work requirements are proven to do more harm than good.

BUT, they're sort of like voter ID requirements, or gas station sushi, or a flat tax, or going to the casino at the end of a night out. Sound like a good idea, until you actually think it through.
