Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) have been sparring publicly over whether Republicans support cuts to Social Security and Medicare – and now Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and other hardline conservatives are getting involved in the fight.
He’s changing Washington for the worse.
Keep diggin’ fellas. And when you pop your head back up, make sure you check on that angry mule from behind.
No penalty for RoJo, since he’s just recently been re-elected. He can do whatever he wants, regardless and without repercussions.
Hey Ron, that thing in your left hand is a live grenade; the thing in your right hand is the pin.

Also: please proceed, Senator.
Well his pals rigged his re-election to the Senate so Ron Johnsonwacks can do whatever he damn well pleases and that includes endlessly trying to kill Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
We need to do everything possible to help Tammy Baldwin hold on to her Senate seat since the Wisconsin GOP will use every dirty trick to rig the vote for their stooge.
I doubt he wants to be in the senate minority forever, and perhaps he’d like someday to vote on a gop-nominated judge.
He’s 67. He’s got another good 20 years…
RonJohn doing his part to keep this topic newsworthy!
Mitch is going to gut these two troglodytes like fish.
There was some Republican rigging and they spent about $20 million in oppo-researched negative ads, but the Democrats made a big mistake when they ran a liberal Black man named Mandela. He won in Milwaukee and Madison, but didn’t get many votes in Wisconsin’s rural and suburban MAGAland. They love them some stupid and they got it for 6 more years with RoJo.
They didn’t make a mistake. Mandela was leading in the polls up until the black fear ads began running against him. The State and National Democratic party abandoned him and 33K votes that were cast in Milwaukee in 2020 mysteriously disappeared in 2022 (read, voter suppression).
No, there was no mistake - Mandela was a very popular Lt. Gov., and the party screwed up. Not him.
Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) agrees with Johnson. Braun said Scott “is concerned about saving” entitlement programs, “not sunsetting it in the sense of getting rid of it. If we want it there for future generations, we’ll have to do something to keep it alive.”
Hey Mikey, why not start with why you think under the current process these entitlement programs are in danger?
“I think we’re in a more authoritative position to state what the position of the party is than any single senator,” McConnell added. “It’s just a bad idea. I think it will be a challenge for him to deal with this in his own re-election in Florida, a state with more elderly people than any other state in America.”
Doesn’t matter if it’s McConnell stating an “authoritative position” or Scott, debate the pluses and minuses. Let’s start with the things they want to expand like gun rights, the right to force any woman who is pregnant to carry that pregnancy to term or her demise, and how discussing this Country and it’s factual history is somehow a “liberal” threat to conservatives’ ideology.
Will Letitia accept payment in petty pennies?
Where’s sen rand Paul when we need him to jump in the fracas and in front of a camera? I’ll bet Mitch would love to hear from him!
Somewhere in the white house, Joe Biden is gettin’ a big ole grin.
Ruh-roh. Looks like maybe McConnel was fibbing just a little bit when he said this was “just” the Scott plan?
Republicans setting themselves on fire?
Proceed.
