"If you like the federal government censoring the stories they don't like on social media, then vote for a Democrat."

I haven't heard of this. It sounds like bullshit.

There's a difference between the GOVERNMENT censoring speech and some douche bag like Mark Zuckerberg doing what HE wants with something that is his PRIVATE PROPERTY.

No one's stopping you from waving a sign on the courthouse lawn. Leave your zip ties and your antlers at home.

$40 billion to be exact. Weapons and grain are just about the only thing USA exports.

18.4 cents a gallon.

They won't even commit to rolling back Bill Clinton's 4.4 cent increase that they all voted against in 1993. But to be fair, I'm pretty sure Newt Gingrich's Contract With America didn't address it either.

Every tax means a little less "liberty," right?

"If you like paying higher taxes"

"The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center estimates that 57% of U.S. households paid no federal income taxes for 2021, up substantially from the 44% before the pandemic."

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/25/57percent-of-us-households-paid-no-federal-income-tax-in-2021-study.html#:~:text=57%25%20of%20U.S.%20households%20paid,income%20tax%20in%202021%3A%20Study

So if 44% of households were paying no federal income taxes under Trump, how many households does McCarthy think should pay no federal income taxes in 2023? 57%? 67%?

"If you like a policy of NO MORE (US) DRILLING"

"The U.S. has 473.3 trillion cubic feet of proved reserves of natural gas and 38 billion barrels of proved
oil reserves."

https://republicanleader.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Unlock-American-Resources-06.10.22_.pdf

"In 2021, the United States consumed an average of about 19.89 million barrels of petroleum per day, or a total of about 7.26 billion barrels of petroleum."

https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=33&t=6

...

38 billion / 7 billion = 5.5 years of oil consumption. Then what?

Can we have China and Iran at our feet in a war that takes 5.5 years?

"IF you like human sex trafficking"

This must be part of your whining about the southern border, for which Kevin McCarthy has a secret plan that he can't reveal before the election...
