Republican Sen. Ron Johnson Pushing Dismantling Social Security and Medicare


Multi-millionaire and MAGA Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, is calling for making both Social Security and Medicare “discretionary programs.”  This “reform” would basically dismantle both programs, by making them vulnerable to yearly “budget fights” and eventual defunding.  That would pave the way for Republicans to finally realize their half-century-old goal of eliminating two of the nation's most essential and popular social safety nets.


Gee whiz, Republicans have really been quite busy these days.  First, they succeeded in relegating women to property status, then they stabbed veterans in the back, and now I guess it’s time to start targeting old people.  Of course, if you’d ask Sen. Johnson and Republicans, they’d be quick to point out, “Why in the name of hell should we be forced to give Social Security and Medicare benefits to people, simply because they got old?  Hell, that’s not our fault!”

 

OK, got it!  Defund old people, by allowing Repubs to hold Social Security hostage every year!  A Republican wet dream, if I’ve ever heard one!  Now, you can demonize Johnson if you like, but the good senator is only looking out for his constituency - the country’s billionaires.  As any Republican will tell you, too much damn tax money is being used to benefit ordinary taxpayers instead of the rich.  I mean, why would wealthy capitalists want “their politicians” handing out money to folks who are either too damned old or too ill to work?


Hey, I’ve got a deal for you, Sen. Johnson.  How about this?  You and your Republican pals get to make Social Security and Medicare “discretionary programs,” and in turn, we citizens get to make your Congressional pay and benefits (perks) - discretionary also.  That means the general public would actually get to decide your salary and benefits - every single year.  Now, doesn’t that sound like fun?  Still interested, Sen. Johnson?   


Of course, if Republicans are successful in doing what they do best - ruthlessly vilifying the nation’s most vulnerable, just what will they do with all that money they stole from the Social Security Fund and Medicare, other than to serve it up as an “offering” to their corporate overlords?  Well, if you’re a MAGA Republican, there are two options - either buy Greenland, or erect a 100-foot statue of Donald Trump with his arm stretched out - boldly directing insurrectionists toward our nation’s Capitol Building.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Pete Buttigieg Emasculating Driving With Electric Cars

During a segment on Neil Cavuto’s Fox News program, US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was told by the host that Marjorie Taylor Greene is claiming "Mr. Buttigieg is trying to emasculate the way we drive" by supporting electric vehicles.  In response, Buttigieg told Cavuto that “my sense of manhood is not connected to whether my vehicle is fueled by gasoline, or whether it's fueled by electricity.”  When asked by Cavuto if he was offended by what Greene said, Buttigieg remarked "To be honest, there are other members of Congress that I pay more attention to when I'm thinking about opinions that really matter.” Oh, come on now!  Let’s get real.  It would take a helluva lot more than an electric car to “emasculate” Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Besides, I’m pretty sure “real men” actually ride horses, anyway.  Of course, I’m certainly no psychiatrist, but it sounds like Greene’s anger could be a combination of both “road rage” and “roid rage,” leaving her...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...
