It's wrong to report; "majority of Retrumplicans do not support cuts to Social Security and Medicare

The correct way to report this would be "a majority of Retrumplicans do not support telling the American people that they went to cut Social Security and Medicare"

The media does us all a disservice by not reporting the truth, and the truth is this;

every last, damn Retrumplican, from Mitch McConnell to Elise Stefanik want to destroy Social Security and Medicare

They would just prefer doing it by sleight of hand, or deception, but make no mistake...THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET RID OF SOCIAL SECURITY since before the ink dried on FDRs signature.

To report anything else than that is nothing but carrying water for the Retrumplicans.

And, it's not just Social Security and Medicare. It's every single New Deal, or social support system ever signed into law.

Civil Rights Act? Bingo!
SNAP and Welfare? Bingo!
Equal Employment Act? Bingo!
Child Labor Laws? Bingo!
Affordable Care Act? Bingo!
Medicade? Bingo!
Environmental Laws? Bingo!

Their entire fucking purpose is to basically repeal and eliminate everything enacted since 1879! Oh, except for Tax Cuts.

These fucksticks would repeal the 13TH and 14TH Amendments if they could do it without having the American people know about it, and the media would gladly report; " a majority of Retrumplicans don't support repealing the 13TH and 14TH Amendments."

This is what Retrumplicans ALWAYS do.

Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney and any other Retrumplican can tell you how opposed they are to repealing and eliminating something, RIGHT UP TO THE SECOND IT'S ELIMINATED

They are NOT opposed to killing Social Security, they just don't want to talk about it "before" they slit its throat.

And they still are.It’s one of the few things this party has been really consistent on. I clearly remember Barry Goldwater. Don’t listen to what they say, remember when they told us abortion should be left up to the states or something like that.

that Biff Boy and the Hand-Maiden lied to her about precedent.

At least Susan Collins is skilled at hiding mendacity and deception with stupidity.

Seriously, you could honestly think she wasn't deceitful, just stupid.

It takes years to develop that skill, and she's a master at at.

saying that he wants to try again to privatize SS. And you're right, they won't cop to it publicly or directly, but they do support changing it in some form that will cut benefits or privatize it or cause some form of harm to the programs.

Made me mad. It was almost like agreeing Biden was lying about the nice innocent Republicans.
