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.

Sen. Katie Britt Blames Biden for a Rape 20 Years Ago in Mexico

During what many are calling an absolutely insane rebuttal to President Biden’s “State of the Union” address, Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-Ala.), walked onto a studio sound stage (set up like an upper-middle-class kitchen) and began to link a harrowing account of a young woman’s sex trafficking and rape by a Mexican drug cartel, to Joe Biden’s immigration policies of the 2020s.  She did this even though the abuse happened nearly 20 years ago and in Mexico - and at a time when Republican George W. Bush was president, not Joe Biden.  The girl about whom Sen. Britt spoke - was thrown out of her house by her mother at age 12 and eventually “fell prey to a professional pimp.”  There is no evidence that she was ever held by a drug cartel, as Katie claimed.  In addition, the young victim testified that most of her clients for prostitution were foreigners visiting Mexico to have sex with underage girls.   Okay, so now let me get this straight.  A young Mexican fema...

White House Calls Trump Property the Perfect G7 Meeting Location

White House Calls Trump Property the Perfect G7 Meeting Location:   The White House and President Trump are raising eyebrows once again after they selected Donald Trump’s National Doral Resort Hotel as the “perfect location” for the next G7 summit while also suggesting President Trump plans to re-invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to the meeting.  Well gee-whiz, what a lucky break for the Trump Resorts.  I mean, who knew there was no other place in the entire United States that would be appropriate to hold a G7 summit other than a Trump property?  Imagine that! Of course, at the rate Trump has been betraying all our friends and allies, by the time this conference actually rolls around - my guess is it’s likely only gonna be a G2 summit - with just Trump and Putin in attendance! https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com

Gallup Finds Only 45% Of Republicans Believe In Science

As deadly new variants of the coronavirus are spreading rapidly around the globe, a disturbing new Gallup poll found American confidence in science has split heavily along party lines, with 79 percent of Democrats expressing confidence in science, while only 45 percent of Republicans say they believe in science.   Really?  Oh, for the love of Trump!  And, from the looks of things, it also appears a lot of these same Trump Republicans don’t have much “confidence” in dental hygiene either.  Don’t laugh, good folks like these have kept denture makes and dental implant centers in business for years.  Why, what’s more American than a water glass with dentures soaking in it, resting on a night stand next to your bed? Besides, with the good folks like Tucker Carlson, Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) - keeping “patriots” informed about all the evils and dangers of COVID vaccines, who needs science?  After a...
