"SNIP.............


Incoming White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus on Sunday suggested President-elect Donald Trump stands by his campaign vow not to cut Medicare.

"I don't think President-elect Trump wants to meddle with Medicare or Social Security," Priebus said on CBS's "Face The Nation."

"He made a promise in the campaign that that was something that he didn't want to do."

The president-elect does plan to grow the economy and help "shore up Medicare and Social Security for future generations," Priebus said.

1. That's it. The GOP will depose/impeach him within a year.

9. unless he instead

becomes a useful casualty of a terrorist attack.

14. I for one do not wish physical harm to any democratically

elected politician. It just results in trauma and more violence all the way around.

[2naSalit]

16. What I'm saying is

that he will be disposed of in whatever manner the ptb desire for greatest effect. I honestly don't see him lasting more than about 6 months before he is removed... one way or another.

Not advocating his demise but when it happens, I won't have any remorse.

17. No, no, no.. He's planning to shore it up. That could and likely does mean deform it.

Why he could shore up Medicare by privatizing it. And as for social security, invest it in the stock market. That should shore it up nicely too.

2. How can you tell when Priebus or Trump are lying?

When their lips are moving.

3. "He made a promi..." -- BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

[rpannier]

4. He won't either

He'll let congress do it and then duck and pass the buck

[2naSalit]

10. yup.

[gordianot]

11. Winner

5. The house republicans are the ones who want to . After they remove trump

Pence will gladly get rid of it all

[nancy1942]

6. Then I guess he will veto the attempt?

Or in lieu of that he will do as told by Putin.

[hatrack]

7. Bullshit . . .

8. Again,we have a mojor vacuum that is not filled by

the Democratic Party. Never thought I would see the day when we Democrats did not have the likes of a
Tom Harkin,Hubert Humphrey,or any Democrat with a back bone. We have Bernie,but he can not do it alone.

[brooklynite]

12. Of course not; he'll leave that up to the House GOP.

[edhopper]

15. He doesn't want to

but he'll go along with Ryan and Mitch when they do.
