They've done that sort of thing before. The average person can only absorb short sound clips, so later down the road, they'll say "Democrats cut your Social Security and Medicare", conveniently leaving out that republicans held the economy hostage to get those cuts.

Fortunately, Biden isn't playing their game. They'll need a new playbook.

… you’re spot on that they are indistinguishable in nature from the Russian mob and the Russian oligarchs. That system of government is EXACTLY what they want.

That might be enough to convince those imbeciles that their so-called Representatives will go after other people's benefits.

dangerous clowns won't need Social Security. But as they see it a 75-year-old 'chump' like me and all others my age depending on SS just to get through another month just doesn't matter to them. I hope their constituents who voted for them get hurt hurt hurt. Especially those who are enthralled with vicious mean human beings like Boebert, Marge t green and Gaetz.

Maybe it's just me, but she doesn't look anything like what she did in 2014 as a newly elected Rep. Evil has apparently taken its toll. I certainly couldn't live with myself if I'd made a similar pact with the devil.
