Elsewhere, Republicans are running, with their hands up, shrieking, from the accusation (and for most, bare statement of fact) that they want to cut Social Security and Medicare. But not Mike Pence.
Delusional.
If only weâd let the obscenely wealthy investor class control our retirement savings the way they control our politics weâd all be on easy street. Rainbows and unicorns, baby. Letâs do it!
âPlease proceedâ
So does Pence consider his VP federal pension an entitlement that he is willing to have cut or completely eliminated?
Hannity To MTG: Tie âNational Divorceâ To Debt Ceiling
Media Matters has the transcript:
I think the Democrats have determined that Republicans wonât stick together. And if they donât, theyâll be able to raise the debt ceiling and concede nothing to the Republican Party in terms of fiscal discipline or whatever united you would want.
I take a different position. I actually think Kevin McCarthy and 221 of your colleagues are going to unite behind a plan and say that either we instill these discipline measures on the economy and on government and not raise our debt anymore, or weâre not going to go along with increasing the debt ceiling.
I think thatâs the more likely scenario. I definitely like the idea of more power being brought to the states and a more decentralized federal government which is bloated and way out of control.
And I think instilling any fiscal discipline, instilling discipline in Congress would be a great goal. Youâre not talking about a full divorce. Youâre talking about a transfer of power. Thatâs a very different thing.
Pence might as well honor the subpoena and spill his guts on Trump cause he is going nowhere.
Use the Madoff Model.
Mike Pence was once âhonoredâ as the dumbest member of Congress, and that is saying something. So yeah running on SS cuts is totally him. But overall not a bad career for radio show host.
So will trump go with âMike Dunceâ or âMeathead Mikeâ?
I hope the GQP runs on this in 2024. It has been a third rail, it is a third rail and it will forever BE a third rail to mess with these programs.
They should make it a key plank in their 2024 platform. No question. Go for it.
Modest refinements. What could possibly go wrong? Says the camel nosing around the tent.
When Mike Pence shows you what he is, you had best believe him.
So did Faux Noise put an âeditorialâ chyron up during this nonsense or present this as ânewsâ to its minions?
The GQP wonât stick together. Those not part of the âfamiliesâ already know theyâre in for a blood bath if they touch these programs. The Dems only have to convince ten of them to cross the aisle on any such legislation.
Nope. When that guy nicknames Pence, itâs gotta have some kind of mean-spirited (the only kind heâs got) reference to Pence âfailingâ to play along with the 1/6 autogolpe attempt.
âAutogolpeâ
Itâs TFG. Shouldnât it be âautogolfâ?
Killing tfgâs dreams is the only viable option for him now.
This isnât the winning issue you think it is, Mike.
He would get crushed in a general election.
The whole GOP crowd is delusional.
But Mikey doesnât hafta worry about income or health care. So ⌠why should anyone else is his thought.
