> [@iamatractorboy](#): > > is this because it’s a Republican Yes. Virtually all town halls held by Pubs recently (and there haven’t been many) have been like this. People are pissed at the administration. Whether or not that transforms into votes a year from now obviously remains to be seen. ---

> [@iamatractorboy](#): > > Just playing devil’s advocate here… but is this because it’s a Republican, or simply because it’s a politician and the masses are pissed off about the shutdown etc and taking it out on anyone in the firing line? I mean, according to the linked article, some of the heckling of Miller-Meeks came from a Democratic rival and his supporters, but some was specifically criticizing her support for Trump policies. > [@](#): > > Farmers pressed Miller-Meeks on her continued support for President Donald Trump’s tariffs, which producers said are driving down prices and squeezing already thin margins. […] A woman identifying herself as a farmer’s spouse shouted back, “My husband’s a farmer. He’s hurt by tariffs,” drawing applause. […] > > Miller-Meeks also pointed to **[Iowa’s pending application for up to $1 billion through the new Rural Health Transformation Program](https://www.thegazette.com/state-government/iowa-seeks-1-billion-from-new-federal-rural-health-fund-amid-medicaid-cuts/)** — a five-year, $50 billion federal fund created under the GOP’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act […] > > Audience members repeatedly challenged her description, with several shouting that hospitals in rural southeast Iowa remain at risk. > > The crowd frequently interrupted with jeers and challenged whether the policies would destabilize rural hospitals and whether those reforms would worsen coverage. […] > > The projected 10-year impact on Iowans, **[according to the American Hospital Association](https://www.aha.org/fact-sheets/2025-06-13-rural-hospitals-risk-cuts-medicaid-would-further-threaten-access):** 37,700 rural Iowans will lose Medicaid coverage and rural hospitals will see $2.7 billion less in Medicaid funding. […] > > During the town hall, Miller-Meeks also defended Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying ICE officers “are doing their job to deport criminal illegal immigrants,” drawing both cheers and boos. Sure, to some extent the average voter is going to be pissed off at any politician in the spotlight during the current national shitshow, but clearly there is also a lot of frustration specifically with harmful Trump policies and Trump asskissers who attempt to spin them positively. ---

Some serious schadenfreude for this face eating. Nom nom nom! > [@](#): > > I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of “Congresswoman” Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia. Over the past few weeks, despite my creating Record Achievements for our Country including, a Total and Complete Victory on the Shutdown, Closed Borders, Low Taxes, No Men in Women’s Sports or Transgender for Everyone, ending DEI, stopping Biden’s Record Setting Inflation, Biggest Regulation Cuts in History, stopping EIGHT WARS, rebuilding our Military, being RESPECTED by every Country in the World (as opposed to being the laughingstock that we were just 12 months ago!), having Trillions of Dollars (Record Setting!) INVESTED in the U.S.A., and having created the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World from being a DEAD Country just 12 months ago (and so much more!), all I see “Wacky” Marjorie do is COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN! It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor, she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!). She has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore, but with 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries, and an otherwise normal life to lead, I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day. I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie in her District of Georgia, that they too are fed up with her and her antics and, if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support. She has gone Far Left, even doing The View, with their Low IQ Republican hating Anchors. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! ---
