Social security and Medicare are paid for with a separate tax. They add NOTHING to the national debt.
Social Security has a $2.5 trillion SURPLUS
Congress has “borrowed” trillions from Social Security to pay for government spending.
So when Republicans say we need to CUT Social Security in order to balance the Federal Budget, here’s what they really mean:
“We’ve taken TRILLIONS from Social Security to pay for unfunded wars, tax cuts for the rich and corporate subsidies. We need to cut your benefits so we won’t have to pay it back.”
Well, hindsight is always 20-20. I think Obama weighed the risk of McTurtle accusing Bamz of trying to throw the election versus the fact the he (and most everybody else) thought Hillz had it in the bag. Bad call. I think he prolly underestimated the magnitude and effectiveness of the Russian fuckery also too. He was told it was happening but I don't think there was an awareness in October 2016 of all the things that we know now, post Mueller, Manafort, Cohen, etc.
I'd love for that to be true, but I'm just not there. He'll roll the dice on holding the Senate and being the last piece of shit stuck in the mud to gum up the works, calls of traitor be damned. It's the last thing he can do in service of his Russian puppet masters and slaveholder ancestors.
Unless the leaves start blowing more strongly in the direction of a total senatorial blowout, at least. I'm talking Doug Jones fucking up his opponent, sweep the tossups and Texas too type asskicking inbound type polling, then he might step down "for health reasons" and let Amy McGrath kick some rookie's ass instead of his. That's not likely, but by God I can and will pray for it every day and night.
I don't see it. He's still in a deep red state and really only cares about his personal power. McGrath is a great candidate, but KY is very similar to TN and Marsha Blackburn won that race pretty handily against a popular candidate.
As much as I want him gone, I just can't get on board with this unless polling starts to look really bad for him against McGrath.
Yeah but let's pretend that the New York State probe into the NRA's charity status follows the money and discovers evidence of Russian laundering, undisclosed and illegal, into the NRA, and that evidence has Moscow Mitch's fingerprints on it, funding Republican Senate and Trump campaigns...
The man could decide to spend more time with his family. It could happen. Or not, because everything Good and Righteous seems to be in a locked gun safe, but hey a guy can dream...
I don't think he's a tool, I think he's a malevolent, greedy, selfish scumbag whose lack of lips and a chin reflects badly on turtles, which are mostly harmless.
This isn't McCarthyism, obviously; its dezinformatsiya (or so Google translate tells me). And in Moscow Mitch's case, I have little to no doubt at all that's intentional.
Back in the closet. Duh.

This is what we're up against with the hard left today in America.
If they're capable of vile sobriquets, they're capable of anything.

Poor Mitch, he doesn't understand that nobody thinks he's a communist, we think he's a tool.
Vile sobriquets make the left HARD.Whereas the right has to take a pill.<giggle>

It says something about just how little Yertle cares for the rest of us that #MoscowMitch bothers him more than #MassacreMitch.

Pretty sure the Confederacy began - and still begins - just south of I-70.
