"SNIP.......

“Republican leaders are scrambling to shore up their chances to win back both the House and Senate as inflation concerns fade, Democratic enthusiasm for protecting abortion rights surges and new fundraising challenges emerge in the crucial final months of the campaign,” the Washington Post reports.

“GOP officials have been mixing up their advertising spending, with a new focus on issues like crime, plans for a major policy rollout meant to reclaim voter attention and moves to send reinforcements for struggling Senate candidates.”

“Leaders have also been working, with mixed success, to cool down intraparty squabbles over their own strategic missteps and the quality of candidates in pivotal Senate races.”

1. They want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare. They said it. Can't take

it back.

2. +1

3. Lindsay was talking about that very thing this weekend

most people aren't prepared to face retirement or old age without Social Security and Medicare.

And, yet they keep pushing getting rid of it or making it something they can cut at a moment's notice.

4. repubs want to "privatize" Social Security...

especially that huge pot of bonds in the account meant to handle future outlays.

Never trust a repub when they talk about money.

5. Ripped a sour fart in the elevator, now they want to run away from it

Sorry boys, you can't outrun the stink.

6. The radicalized Republican party is coming for your rights -- reproductive and voting.

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

7. TOO BAD, SO SAD

And WAY TOO LATE.

10. Would that that were true.

While we are surging and our chances look much better now, the Republicans still have a chance at winning back the House. I think we are pretty solid in the Senate, but we cannot be lulled into thinking that even this level of "shooting yourself in the foot" will completely do in the Republicans. Their voters are exceptionally tribal and may vote R despite all their cruelty and stupidity. That seems to resonate with Republicans (cruelty and stupidity that is..).

8. In some states, early voting starts in a few weeks.

Good luck with your "reset," you evil fascist fucks.

9. Don't worry

We, the people will ‘reset’ them alright, just maybe not as they’d like.
