You know you're winning when your opponent wants an endorsement from #Trump this early in the race 😎
Power to the people baby ✊️😎🇺🇸

Me taunting Representative Lisa McClain on Facebook in a post where she says how proud she is to receive Trumps endorsement. My response is as follows:

Oooooooo someone's a bit nervous about their midterm re-election this early 🤣

A post from Trump on Truth Social giving his endorsement to Lisa McClain in true Trump fashion, with all caps sentences and lots of boasting. McClain added this post to her social media post in addition to a picture of them together while bragging about the endorsement.

"I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!" - Larry the Cable Guy #Michigan #Politics

Representative Lisa McClain of MI-09 posted the following on her Facebook with a link to a Fox News article:

I’m DISGUSTED and furious over the vile “MAGA = NAZI” and “86 47” sign promoted by Michigan Democrats.

This isn’t political speech — it’s HATE. It’s DANGEROUS. And after real acts of political violence, it’s beyond irresponsible.

Michigan Democrats must make clear that violence and hate have NO PLACE in our state.

My response is as follows:

Imma 86 your political career and take it for my own, how bout that? Your boss also posted some dumb AI video about how he would like to literally 💩 on our country. Grow up Lisa!

💭🙏 Thoughts and prayers aren't enough after another needless shooting. It's time for Congress to act, Representative Lisa McClain. Grow a spine, recognize this shouldn't be normalized, and take action to prevent more mass shootings.

Hey Lisa, for my birthday 🎂 today, you mind reading the constitution again from start to finish for me? Here, I'll start it off for you

WE THE PEOPLE ✊️😎
#ConstitutionDay #WeThePeople

Lisa McClain posting on X about Constitution Day, which happens to be my birthday as well. The irony of her posting about this while ignoring her constituents back home here in MI-09 is speaks volumes about her morals as a congresswoman.

Ray Pooley ⚙️ MI-09 Candidate @pooley4congress.bsky.social · Sep 14

The choice is obvious
#democrats #michigan #meme #politics

The "Who Would Win?" meme. The images are of Lisa McClain with the text "Rich out of touch politician", and of myself, Ray Pooley, Progressive Democrat candidate for Michigan's 9th Congressional District, with the text "One chicken daddy country boi". The choice seems obvious.

I'm grateful to have spoken with @indivisiblehv.bsky.social about my vision for a brighter future, where everyone has a voice and is treated with dignity. I understand the struggles of working hard to make ends meet, and believe that it's time for a leader who will champion the rights of the people.
