Wh**ever?
Can't stand the witch and that's what she is, a witch.
Even Podesta said she smelled like cabbage and farts.
Others say sulfur.

I think you're on the wrong track, but that's just me. maybe you're spot on, but let's wait and see....and give them the slightest benefit of the doubt. that's my take. Would certainly help and provide the icing on the cake to Trump's presidency. Like I've told you, I'm happy with 99% of what is going on in the Trump admin., but this is the most important thing on the Trump calendar as far as I'm concerned.

Mueller was the messiah as far as the Dems go. And now you're blaming Mueller that he didn't get the job done? Wow. He didn't ALLOW anything. He and 19 Trump h**ers would have got the job done....if they only had SOMETHING. It wasn't like they weren't working their asses off to find something...anything. No cigar!

So you support full term a******n, anyone having more than you, ending the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 10th Amendment, socialism, deep cuts to our military to use the money for social welfare. Passing bills so you know what's in them, a national police force just as well armed and well trained as our military and the affordable care act while hating the lowest unemployment rate in history, tax cuts, and the lack of endless wars on nations we have no reason or place being in?

Trump was being set up for a perjury trap.
Hillary had committed crimes.
Big difference.

Most people love living in our country, and others constantly
b***h and complain about each and every little thing.
Makes you wonder, why are they not leaving.
Possibly just born and bred complainers.

Don't you get tired of the lies? Repeat them enough and they think we'll swallow them. All tey really do is dimish their credibility. For example I don't bother with kevyyn or the guy I call Captain America (he couldn't be farther away if he tried) lone I agree with sometimes, but too often he beats the same tired drum. That's why I have a list of people to avoid. Yep, segregation again only not with buses.

I believe the word is projection. It is conservatives that are banned from speaking on college campuses, are targeted by big tech companies, are called any and everything imaginable. But if they stand up and fight back, then the left claims they are the problem. Hypocritical, of course

Here's my ignore list at least thru September: Kevyn ~ out forever/ resident c*******t
Loonwoof ~ not too bright ~ no back-up/link to anything ~ Trump: liar, r****t, w***e s*********t no proof
PeterS ~ never makes sense almost as off the wall as Kev
elatrine ~ just a joke
Cuda ~ annoying
I will ignore them ALL. Not worth OUR time. Thanks for your service, sir.

You look like your retirement age, are you taking the social security that the Democrats got for you?

Republicans' Public Opposition To Social Security And Medicare

I am an economics professor focusing on retirement security and jobs.

Social Security is the most popular program in America, especially among the v**ers who are growing the fastest




The politics leading up to the midterms are stranger and stranger. Not only is President Trump arguing with leading Republican Paul Ryan, about the Constitution, but the highest-ranking Republican in the Senate – Senator Mitch McConnell -- has called for cuts to Social Security. That is strange politics because Social Security is the most popular program in America, especially among the v**ers who are growing the fastest and who v**e the most – people over 65.

A poll one week before the e******n about Republican social and economic policy is a red f**g for Republicans. 60% of Americans would prefer to reverse the Republican 2017 tax cuts than cut spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. This poll was taken a week after Senator McConnell said the Republicans would defend the tax cuts and cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in order to curb the growing deficit, caused in significant part by those very tax cuts.

The Republican Party has always been associated with opposition to Social Security. Economic historian Max Skidmore shows that the final v**e for Social Security was lopsided--only 2% of Democrats v**ed against it (because it wasn't generous enough) while 33% of Republicans v**ed against Social Security.


Historian Arthur Schlesinger (page 311) notes that the Republicans echoed corporate opposition to Social Security. A representative of the Illinois manufacturers testified that if Social Security was passed it would undermine America by “destroying initiative, discouraging thrift, and stifling individual responsibility.” In 1935, Republican congressman John Taber said Social Security “is designed to prevent business recovery, to ens***e workers, and to prevent any possibility of the employers providing work for the people.”

In the 1970s the conservative Cato Institute made shrinking Social Security through privatization its primary objective and in 2005 George W. Bush tried to replace Social Security with private investment accounts. The Bush privatization plan failed. Though Republicans supported it, no Democrat in Congress would agree and the balance was such the Republicans had to convince at least one Senator to switch sides.


When Medicare was first being considered Senate Republican Robert Dole (then in the House) v**ed against it. Also in opposition to Medicare, in a famous 1964 speech, Ronald Reagan explained that his opposition to Social Security and Medicare is why he switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. He called Social Security “welfare” and said of the possible regret in not stopping the passage of Medicare: “One of these days you and I are going to spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it once was like in America when men were free.”

When Vice President Mike Pence was in Congress he opposed passage of Medicare's Part D, the drug benefit, and complained that Bush's proposal to partially privatize Social Security was not enough; Pence proposed deeper cuts to the Social Security program than President Bush.

It seems Senator McConnell, usually careful not to rock the boat before the upcoming midterm e******ns, did not set out to tell the e*****rate that Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid cuts were high on the Republican agenda. It appeared to be a slip as he was caught off guard defending the Republican tax cut against a mid-October U.S. Department of the Treasury report attributing the highest deficit in six years to the Republican 2017 “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.”

Just to be clear, the Republican tax cuts of 2017 are driving the deficit. Spending more than revenue causes a deficit. But Social Security is required by law to pay benefits only from its revenue and trust funds. Social Security is one of the few government programs with built-in fiscal discipline.

Bottom Line: Though Senator McConnell may not have meant to publicize the Republican agenda to cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, the long history of Republican opposition may be an example of what Sigmund Freud and modern psychologists believe--a slip of the tongue may reveal more of the t***h than a well-constructed prepared remark. And in order to defend their expensive and regressive tax cut, Republicans may be preparing to cut America's most popular programs.

And that's pertinent, how? How lovely the commentaries from the right always are.

SS is not part of our budget, it is collected and held in trust, so cutting SS is pure BS. What the problem is the funding needed to take care of wounded vets now for the rest of their lives, There needs to be a fund created for that purpose. Tax dollars coming from those who profit from war. Yeah, let's see that happen.

I would NEVER v**e Dems..I would rather not v**e at all then v**e for DumboRats!!!...And i have earned SS...Ihave been working here my whole adult life...But how did i******s earned anything when they dont belong here in the first place????
