    I’m a few chapters into American carnage. This book is fascinating and so far has done a good job explaining how we ended up with the current GOP.

    The Republican Party continues to shoot itself in the stomach.



    https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/14/politics/joe-biden-rick-scott-midterm-elections/index.html

    “Rick Scott, the – who heads up the ultra-MAGA agenda for the Republicans, he’s the head of the Senate campaign committee for the Republicans. … He said – he thinks everyone in America should pay taxes – not more taxes – everyone in America should pay taxes. All those folks making less than $100,000 a year, if they have some exemption, they should have to pay net more taxes. Average increase expected to be $1,200 bucks for every American under that amount.

    “Well, beyond that, he says that we should try to be in a situation where we – Congress, every five years, has to affirmatively vote to maintain Social Security, which you paid for your whole life. You have to affirmatively vote. It comes up – if it’s not positively voted for, it’s gone, it’s eliminated. And you think I’m making this up; it’s not. It’s the only written Republican platform so far.”

    Mitch must be tearing his hair out between Graham and Scott. A national abortion ban, raising taxes on the middle class and eliminating Medicare and SS is about as close to political suicide as you can get.

    Poor Rick Scott. A GOP platform LMAO. They haven’t had an agenda since Reagan.

    I really don't get it. The mental gymnastics to get around logic, the sheer hatred of people who aren't a part of your life, the hypocrisy...

    I'm not sure I'd have more respect for them if they came out and just said, yeah we hate black people and women and we're here to make everything difficult....but at least there wouldn't be the silly ass explanations and stupid game they play.

    What did Mayor Pete ever do to protect this country? He should have been a real man like Donald Trump!

    McConnel already is in a tiff with Scott over the quality of Republican Senate candidates. It does almost appear like that Graham and Scott are trying to sabotage the Republicans the chance to get the Senate majority.

    Not only is it cruel and inhumane, others are cheering it. This is a dark time in our history.
