Yep, that stalwart of the DNC. Gun violence, crime, bad edcuation, gang rape, drugs and alcohol, drug trafficking, single teen moms, irresponsible baby-dads ... they got it all, in spades.
You can't tell me you haven't noticed how SELECTIVE you are when singing mud against entire groups of people?
Fuck you, liar.

Where I am from, the angry poor white trash tend to be Trumptards. That is why I am NOT Republican. Being a NOT Republican doesn't mean I am sympathetic toward Democratic voters who destroy themselves from lack of self-control. Too bad for them, but nobody will stop them from ruining themselves, except themselves.

I don't live in Texas, just as you don't live in LA, or Chicago or NYC. But SURELY you read "leftwing" / M$M websites and newpapers about these places which describe the myriad ills of the "black community". So either they're lying or you're being mighty selective about your mud-slinging.
You're a liar, SECOND, so fuck you.

Quote:The first time I read what 6ix or Signym wrote, I knew these two people are destined to die early. Everything I have read since has made me lower their lifespan estimate by about 2 years for every passing year of time. Neither Signym nor 6ix is getting saner and calmer with the passage of time. Like Trump and Putin, time is making Signym and 6ix more irascible. All four of you know the clock is ticking faster and faster and your dreams are falling apart. That is not conducive to living a long life.

Says the nut bag who can't remember what it posts from one moment to the next.
I see you as someone with a swiss-cheese brain posting feverishly from a dementia-care or psychiatric unit.
Prove me wrong by posting like a person who's got all their marbles.

Republicans Are Angry at Joe Biden for Accurately Describing Plan to Sunset Social Security
In early 2022, Florida Sen. Rick Scott, the chair of the Republican Senate campaign arm, released what he called an “11-Point Plan to Save America.” One year later, one specific element of that plan — a proposal that all laws, including Social Security and Medicare, would expire in five years unless re-approved — is still coming back to haunt Republicans. The threat to two of the nation’s most beloved social programs was the backdrop of the most dramatic moment of President Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday.
“Some of my Republican friends want to take the economy hostage unless I agree to their economic plans. Some Republicans want Social Security and Medicare to sunset,” Biden said, before being cut off by loud Republican jeering, punched up with individual shouts from the likes of Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who pointed at the president yelling “liar!”
The scene was chaotic enough that Biden had to veer off-script and engage in a live policy dialogue with his detractors. That’s unusual, and thrilling for what’s otherwise become a stale tradition. He clarified, almost apologetically, that he wasn’t talking about all Republicans. And when some shouted at him to name these Republicans who wanted Social Security and Medicare to expire, Biden demurred.
“I’m politely not naming them,” he said, “but it’s being proposed by some.”
The prepared line in Biden’s speech, before he was interrupted, was that “some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset every five years.” The “some Republicans,” in this case, is Rick Scott. Now Scott and his party have to live with it.
Democrats have not forgotten about the political potency embedded in elements of Scott’s plan, which again he could still modify if he so chose.
But Scott still hasn’t done that with this agenda item. Even after a night to sleep on it, Scott woke up Wednesday defending his idea.
Plenty of Republicans, including chairmen of important committees and caucuses in the House, have been muttering about using the debt limit to force changes to Medicare and Social Security.

Quote:You are gracious and magnanimous. The following might look like me "contradicting myself" because one set of Republicans say one thing and another is actually doing the opposite, but it is NOT my contradiction. It's their contradiction:

During his State of the Union Address on Tuesday, President Joe Biden criticized Republicans for proposing to “sunset” Medicare and Social Security every five years. In response, many Republican lawmakers booed the president, prompting him to quip: “So, folks, as we all apparently agree: Social Security and Medicare is off the books now.”
Perhaps these Republicans really do disagree with a plan put forth by a member of their leadership mandating periodic expiration of popular entitlement spending. But at least some of their judges are all for it — and want to transform the idea into constitutional law. Recently, the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals crafted a theory that would empower courts to strike down mandatory spending on federal programs, compelling Congress to either re-appropriate the money or let the programs die. This radical reading of the Constitution would threaten Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.
