House GOP promises vengeance on Democrats for doing good stuff while in power
a summary of pla udes like
“support our troops,”
“exercise peace through strength with our allies to counter increasing global threats,”
“recover lost learning from school closures,” and
“uphold free speech.” And, of course, “rigorous oversight.”
All of which really means tax cuts (and defunding the IRS again,
which effectively means more tax cuts) and investigations.
Hunter Biden and the Biden Family have peddled influence across the globe to enrich themselves at the expense of American interests.
It’s clear that Joe was involved. The question is: to what extent?
We will get that answer for the American people.
It’s all about vengeance.
It’s been all about vengeance since the nation had the temerity to elect a Black man to the White House and
that president was able to do big stuff, like lower millions of people’s health insurance costs.
have one skill:
holding a grudge and making political hay out of it.
Democrats impeached Trump?
Republicans will impeach President Joe Biden, whether he actually did anything or not.
they’ve already filed 14 impeachment resolutions against Biden
as well as Vice President Kamala Harris,
Secretary of State Antony Blinken,
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and
Attorney General Merrick Garland.
“Those members will have his McCarthy balls in such a vice grip
that when they say ‘jump’,
he’ll say ‘how high’,
and it’ll be too late before he realizes the fall will kill them.”

Social Security 'In Grave Danger' If GOP Retakes Congress, Advocates Warn
"Republicans plan to use the debt limit as the hostage to demand these cuts,
even though Social Security doesn't add a single penny to the deficit,"
new reporting on GOP plans to use a looming fight over the nation's debt ceiling to pursue benefit cuts.
"Social Security and Medicare eligibility changes,
spending caps, and
safety-net work requirements are among the top priorities"
for the GOP if it retakes the House in next month's elections.
"next year's deadline to raise or suspend the debt ceiling is a point of leverage" to extract concessions from Democrats, including potentially raising the retirement age and reducing Social Security benefits, the outlet noted.
GOP's recently released policy agenda, which opens the door to Social Security and Medicare cuts
"Our main focus has got to be on nondiscretionary—it's got to be on en lements,"
their intentions are: reaching into the American people's pockets and stealing their hard-earned benefits," said Altman.
"Republicans plan to use the debt limit as the hostage to demand these cuts,
even though Social Security doesn't add a single penny to the deficit.
If Republicans take control of one or both chambers of Congress,
our earned benefits are in grave danger."

UT Austin polling location closes due to non-compliance with American Disabilities Act
https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/lo...s-17503807.php
How about leaving the PCL polling open and
telling ADA students to go to LBJ school?
This really stinks. Why hasn't PCL been closed in earlier years?
They're doing the latter, just with all the students.
just ignoring the will of the voters if they elect Democrats
Forced birth for victims of incest, today's extremist Republican Party.
https://jezebel.com/two-child-incest...ida-1849652906At least two child incest victims were denied abortion care since the state’s 15-week abortion ban—which lacks exceptions for rape and incest—took effect in July, Planned Parenthood of South, East, and North Florida confirmed to BuzzFeed News on Wednesday. Laura Goodhue, vice president of public policy for the group, said both of these patients, one of whom was in middle school while the other was a young teen, were forced to travel “at least two, three states away” with help from Planned Parenthood.
The accommodations include extended early voting days and the ability for voters to send mail-in ballots from addresses not listed in voting records.
Voting rights groups had previously asked the governor to extend the statewide voting registration deadline, which ended on Tuesday, and to add more early voting days, as well as implement other accommodations.
DeSantis complied – but only for the three Republican counties.

More dead Repugs than Dems
New research finds that watching Fox News during a pandemic really can be deadly
citing previous research that identified a clear correlation between being a Republican and foolishly dying of COVID.
Republicans have been killing themselves to own the libs for decades—most notably by opposing health care initiatives that would greatly improve their lives and their prospects of reaching old age.
So this was just another data point in a long-term trend.
Fox News had an outsized effect in convincing Republicans to kill themselves even faster.
we can point to the interplay of partisanship itself.
As president, Trump tried to
play down the danger of the virus and, with an eye to reelection,
cast effortsto contain the virus as power plays from an overbearing government.
This certainly helped
influence behaviors among Republicans on vaccination, masking and social distancing.
Fox News is reducing COVID-19 vaccination uptake in the United States, with no evidence of the other major networks having any effect,”
“[T]here is an association between areas with higher Fox News viewership and lower vaccinations,”
“media emphasis on minority viewpoints against scientific consensus is linked to vaccination hesitancy.”
“The other two major television networks, CNN and MSNBC, have no effect.”

‘Beyond Parody’:
Sen. Mike Lee Mocked for Writing Op-Ed in the Third Person Endorsing Himself
The op-ed headlined “Mike Lee has earned a reputation as a principled conservative” had a byline of “Mike Lee.” It’s a short piece — only seven paragraphs comprised of less than 300 words — and adopts the overly earnest tone of a middle schooler’s book report.
“Mike Lee serves as a United States senator representing the state of Utah,” Mike Lee begins his op-ed writing about how great Mike Lee is.
“Since taking office, Senator Lee has earned a reputation as a principled conservative.
He believes elected officials are responsible for keeping the federal government within its cons utionally limited role.”
The op-ed continues,
touting how “Lee serves on various [Senate] committees important to Utah,”
“Senator Lee has fought for Utahns and their values,” and
“Senator Lee has remained committed to advocating for limited government and fiscal responsibility throughout his career.”
It appears that the Tribune invited both candidates to submit op-eds.
McMullin wrote one too, but his is in the first person — “like a normal person” would,
