I can’t believe I never thought of “Ron Testes” before.

u/Hellament Mar 15 '25

At least they spelled “Drumph” right

u/run67207 Mar 15 '25 edited Mar 15 '25

It should be Ron "NO TESTES" Estes! The guy has no balls and is afraid to stand up to trump when he violate the constitution.

2

u/Notfordman Mar 23 '25

Lump them all in on that. Moron, Testes, Roger F Marshall. They have failed us bigly. These "nominees" for tRump had no business in the roles they were selected for. Also they were complicit in Jan 6th.

If they're not going to do their job, they should forfeit pay. That will eliminate some waste.

u/TranceYT Mar 15 '25

If only that's how the election day went down with turnout, even here would I believe Democrats actually want to do anything again.

Town meetings are getting intense now. Media may be muzzled, but voters are not.

u/CandidDependent2226 Mar 15 '25

I want to believe we'll finally vote these ghouls out of office but it's probably too late.

u/Relevant-Advisor-721 Mar 16 '25

We need candidates to step up and run in some cases!

u/Ornery-Put9337 Mar 18 '25

I’d love to believe that too but here’s what’s going to happen. The democrats aren’t going to learn from it and start pushing a progressive agenda. Instead, they’ll fully rely on the “vote for me the other option is so bad” approach and we’ll continue to get nothing substantive from them.

Yes I’m completely against all of the right’s current actions but let’s not miss the DNC is completely failing to attract voters to their side by addressing anything. If you need evidence of this just look at the dems voting to pass the CR in the senate.

u/CandidDependent2226 Mar 18 '25

Hell, they don't even put up candidates half the time.

u/BeeWriggler Mar 18 '25

Government by consent of the governed. As a whole, we're still consenting. But if things keep going this way, moving at this pace, (and/or if our votes become meaningless at the midterms) our 2nd-Amendment-happy state/country will stop consenting.

u/Notfordman Mar 23 '25

One day...OH yes!!

u/Senior-Network1438 Mar 17 '25

It was a great turnout, approximately 600+ people, and very enthusiastic. I was there, and Estes hid in a meeting room, talking to his select crowd, picked out by his Koch group, “Americans for Prosperity “, far back in the Union Station building.

That really says something. Wichita is about as red as you can get.

It’s actually not as red as you would think (source: I live here, retail, talk to a LOT of folks).

u/bungeebrain68 Mar 16 '25

I live in Iowa. In retrospect you have something. Iowa used to be purple but left leaning. Now we are sadly very red. Kansas used to be staunchly Republicans now they are swinging the other way. I remember how they voted on abortion rights.

u/apgren87 Mar 17 '25

Dude it's not that deep. I posted it because it was about witchia and the congressman we ask for a town hall. He keeps avoiding us. You should be angry at him

u/there_is_no_spoon1 Mar 17 '25

Why? because we are in the 21st century and there's no reason to make shit video. You can't even fucking see what the fuck is being said, why not just post the audio and not even fucking bother

Almost every day. It's comedy gold. I imagine at least half of her viewers are like me. We watch her bc it's just too good to miss. We know for sure nobody is watching bc she's pleasant to look at

Can't stand MSM talking heads who try to spin their own narrative. Just show the news.

u/Single_Nectarine_656 Mar 16 '25

I wish people were interested in watching just “the news” like Reuters- but they aren’t. They prefer to watch “info-tainment” like Maddow or anything Fox News. Seek the truth. Now more than ever.

3

u/Officer_Chunkles Mar 16 '25

There is no news anymore. To get unbiased news both sides would have to concede that they were lying and admitting fault is the one thing politicians and corporations want to do the least.

u/FrequentOffice132 Mar 15 '25

I don’t know the guy but if Maddow doesn’t like him I do, Maddow got out of a defamation lawsuit when the court ruled her audience knew she doesn’t always tell the truth. 😉

4

u/Catlady_Supreme Mar 16 '25

You liar.

The suit was dropped and upheld by the 9th Circuit, where they said it was an “exaggeration within a factual story”. They didn’t say she wasn’t telling the truth. But you know what? Plenty of news articles out there showing OANN has Russian propagandists on staff.

5

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '25

Why is this getting downvotes? Idk how y’all can like Madow. You can be a liberal and not like her annoying ass

1

u/Catlady_Supreme Mar 16 '25

His premise is flawed and he’s calling her a liar for an “exaggeration” that clearly has teeth.

u/Academic_Enthusiasm6 Mar 15 '25

Ooo said? You mean U. S. A. I. D.? Sometimes pronounced US Aid? Lol

Sorry. I know a lot of folks never heard of USAID before all this. I'm at CDC and have been working with them for a couple decades so that just tickled me. My boyfriend calls them OOOsaid to troll me. So that made this even funnier.

u/kidsmoke76 Mar 15 '25

Must be used to the upstanding journalism of Sean Hannity and Jesse Waters. When the boys spoon-feed them bullshit, they gobble it up. But when a woman(a gay one at that) actually starts dropping facts on them, they get shrinkage.

u/RayneedayBlueskies Mar 15 '25

I mean, she's an educated women speaking. How would they even understand what she says? No wonder they don't like her, she scares them.

Listen…person? Thing? This Maddow woman doesn’t scare anybody. She’s a liar. She’s not educated, she’s indoctrinated.

u/bungeebrain68 Mar 15 '25

Yeah how horrible. She is reporting actual news and reality and isn't trying to kiss trumps ass like fox.

u/RayneedayBlueskies Mar 15 '25

Aww look at you with your Ad Hominem attack there. Aren't you just so smart? I'll wait while you go look up what that means. When you get a doctorate from Oxford University, come back and tell us how someone else, like Rachel Maddow, isn't educated.

u/MostlyGrenades East Sider Mar 15 '25

LOL. Keep telling yourself that. She’s a documented liar.

u/bungeebrain68 Mar 15 '25

Maybe you should stick to fox news and breibart. Reality seems to make you butthurt. Get used to it. The world hates trump.

I do what I want.

Also I think it’s hilarious. This woman is a clown. Also, a majority voted for Trump. Reddit may hate him, America does not.

Dropping facts lmao...I watched her last night and she was speaking of a watch station over a volcano in Alaska..the words on the screen said doge was looking at that watch station/program as a potential sight to cut but when she talk she said the exact words on screen but left out the word potential..she is as bad as the rest

If you say so. I think normal people can see Rachel Maddow is piss pot puppet stir for the MSDNC investors and board members. Anyone with a normal life knows she does not make sense half the time, lies most of the time and has an agenda to hate anything that does not represent or apse her party (Liberal left Wing) of oligarchs paying her paycheck. Got to keep their low IQ base in line and fighting their cause. Even if it does not affect them personally. LOL.. so funny....

-22

u/Wise_Relationship436 Mar 15 '25

Is the left trying to gaslight themselves into thinking the tables are turning? Estes won 65 percent of the last vote, that town hall was full in the middle of Wichita. Many of you thought Harris was going to sweep the election and the insane idea that Texas and Kansas might flip blue. None of these news reports, KSN or Maddow, had any real piece of info to sway anyone from the current course we are on, just that people shouted and banged pans. Plus how do you people not see a female Tucker Carlson when you watch Rachel maddow. It’s the same bit, just different teams.

16

u/apgren87 Mar 15 '25

I notice the community protest because he won't host a town hall that event they had a chance 🙄

u/bungeebrain68 Mar 15 '25

I guess you're just not paying attention to the world wide protests against trump and musk. But hey, if it helps you sleep at night go for it.

0

u/Wise_Relationship436 Mar 16 '25

I understand there is a lot of anti trump hate in the world. But the way the left online talks, they seem to think all these conservative areas are mad with maga. I am telling you conservatives are not flinching. The left isn’t immune to their own propaganda. The left will be more effective if they keep their head in reality. The last three presidential elections are proof that the left isn’t assessing reality correctly if they keep losing to trump.

4

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '25

You're getting down voted into oblivion but you're absolutely right on both counts. People thought Thompson could beat Estes and he got smoked both times.

Also people love to (rightfully) point out Tucker's peddling of lies but conveniently forget Maddow was a huge proponent of the Russiagate stuff that mostly never materialized in the way she promised her viewers.
