These forked tongue GOP are backing themselves into a corner that has no exit when it comes to Social Security. There is not one rep in the House or Senate across this entire country that doesn't have constituents on that program. If they continue with mealy mouth platitudes about what constitutes a "cut", the only cut will be their job.

The incompetence of the Trump Administration and the GOP Senate was so predictable. Since bending the knee to Trump after his January 6th insurrection, the GOP has lied their way to the top on the backs of voters who believed them with the help of mainstream media who refuse to give the facts. It took more than a week to get the Hegseth blunder beyond The Atlantic and GOP senators and congressmen, who screamed bloody murder about Clinton’s private email, respond with a “so what”?!?! We’re talking military attack plans discussed on unsecured private phones using a public app which included an Atlantic reporter unbeknownst to the cabinet officials!!! Where is the outrage of the American people!?!? These GOP idiots are risking the lives of US servicemen!!! Impeach all of these clowns and do it now!!!

Don't be so hard on "The Mainstream Media" they can't help it that MAGAs (and not just MAGAs!) are unwilling or unable to read what they actually do report.

But it’s not just that - the media has capitulated to him, because they don’t want to end up in a gulag, or the owners benefit by kissing ass.

It’s social media as well.

It’s absolutely pathetic. They just rolled over.

This nightmare wouldn’t going as well as it has if other insanely wealthy people didn’t capitulate. The courts are next.

If they all said no more, and the critters who say they are horrified off the record actually pushed back, they wouldn’t have such an easy time. As it stands, they just preemptively decided that standing for absolutely nothing was the best choice. It’s pathetic.

To paraphrase Bill Clinton, it depends on what the meaning of the word “cuts” is.

When DOGE forces its way into county election offices in swing districts and armed escorts tell terrified public servants to allow Big Balls to hook up a laptop to the election system those legislators won’t have to worry about losing their jobs.

It will happen….

This is what I fear. Maybe they’re not afraid of the 3rd rail because they’re not anticipating needing their constituents votes. Remember Trump telling voters ‘they won’t have to vote again’…
