Donald Trump and his policies are decimating an entire industry, harming small businesses, and costing the United States tens of BILLIONS in revenue. - 06/30/2025.

1. He doesn't care as long as he's grifting money

That's his whole purpose. He could never make a living honorably so he has become the chief crook of the country. Nixon is still wishing posthumously that he had this crooked congress when he was in office.

2. Yup, all his businesses failed so he got the idea to solicit "campaign contributions" - and it became his "full time job"

And you're completely right - when TFG became a convicted felon, let alone attempted to overthrow the government, I kept expecting the Republicans to turn against him like they did Nixon!

3. They're just as crooked as he is.

4. My county relies on Canadian tourists

We live about 20 miles south of the Canadian border.
Border traffic is down 30%

Elise Stefanik says nothing. She has 5 of the poorest counties in the state in her district, yet she says NOTHING.

She is a boot licking Trump supporter.

5. Same here! I live just south of Lake George Village, just north of Glens Falls and we see a lot of Canadian tourists, too

Mostly Ontario and Quebec. We're going to be hit, as well, during tourist season this year. When I worked summers at the local amusement park, we got all manner of tourists from other countries, too. And considering the horror stories we've heard of tourists being locked up, I'm sure that we won't be seeing them, either. It's going to be a tough tourist season for local merchants. In the summer, Lake George Village is next to impassable.

As for Stefanik, I'm obviously stuck with her, too. I remember all the protests when she was elected after Bill Owens retired. I also went to a local meetup where he introduced his chosen successor, Aaron Woolf, who I liked a lot, I made GOTV calls for him. Why he didn't win is a mystery to me.

I refer to Stefanik as a national embarrassment. On election night 2022, her last election, I was told that she participated in a local Republican meetup at the Queensbury Hotel in Glens Falls where she took the opportunity to be the first to endorse TFG for 2024. And you're right, she has no concern for her constituents, she only answers to a constituent on one.

Did you see any of the billboards that went up in the district after she appeared on national TV alongside Gym Jordan during the second impeachment hearing? I used to pass this one on my way home. *sigh*
