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.

Trump Demands Constitution Be Set Aside and He Be Reinstated as President

Reacting to a Twitter post from Elon Musk who claimed Democrats violated the 1st Amendment by collaborating with big tech (Twitter), to remove tweets that featured pornographic photos of Hunter Biden during the 2020 election,” former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to demand that the United States Constitution be set aside and that he be reinstated as president.   Trump further claimed that "A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.   Our great 'Founders' did not want, and would not condone False & Fraudulent Elections!” Now, let me get this straight, Trump wants the US Constitution to be suspended - because Twitter refused to publish photos of “Hunter Biden's junk” during that last presidential election?  The thing is Elon, Democrats weren’t even in power in 2020 - Trump was, which would make it a bit difficult for them to violate the...

Anti-Vax Newsmax Host Says Diseases are Supposed to Kill People

Conservative network Newsmax has been forced to “distance itself” from remarks uttered by host Rob Schmitt this week, who claimed that vaccines go "against nature" because diseases are "supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people,” and that vaccinations “unnaturally interfere with viruses' designs on killing people.” Wow, kinda looks like the “Schmitt” has really hit the fan over at Newsmax.  So, they want to “distance” themselves from Schmitt’s remarks, do they?  Gee, makes you wonder if the morons who run Newsmax know they actually have the option not hire anti-science nitwits like Schmitt as anchors in the first place?  Not to worry though, should Schmitt get fired, I'm sure folks like Kevin McCarthy or Rand Paul would warmly welcome him to become part of their staffs. Of course, the truth is, what Schmitt is really promoting is “Social Darwinism.”  Given that, I assume by the same logic he applies to vaccines, one may conclude that by warning people ...

2020 GOP Senate Nominee Claims the Equality Act Will ‘Illegalize’ Jesus Christ

The Equality Ac t is a bill before the United States Congress, that would simply prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, education, federally funded programs, etc.   It doesn’t dictate what churches or religious people must believe, but that hasn’t stopped right-wing, QAnon, and flat Earth activist Lauren Witzke - the GOP’s failed 2020 Senate candidate from Delaware - from going on Alan Jones’ InfoWars and claiming that the bill will “illegalize Jesus Christ” and “categorize the Scripture as hate speech.” Well, given her stance on immigrants, I can’t imagine why she’d ever object to anyone “trying to illegalize Jesus Christ.”  I mean, by her standards - isn’t Jesus basically just another “illegal immigrant” from the Middle East?  So, what’s the problem?  Why, if you don’t believe me, then try telling some border patrol agent “but, but, I’m the son of God” - and see how far ...
