(2,203 posts)They want tax cuts.
They want America's Social Security to be privatized.
They want to kill FICA contributions by employers.
They get these things by having republican government. It's how gerrymandered "democratic" capitalism works.

If climate change was made a huge deal,it would benefit liberals
Holding pisshair accountable benefits liberals.
Same for number 3.
Their horse race model is supreme in their minds. It equals ratings.

(70,504 posts)# 4 The top FBI agent in NYC in 2016 was on Putin's payroll. Charles F. McGonigal and he got the
NY Times to put on its front page there was no connection between Trump and Russia and then he
got the director of the FBI to bring up HRC and that phony ass email shit again. The Russian paying
McGonigal, Olge Deripaska was the money behind Tony DeDevolder (Santos) who job it is to be a
Chaos agent inside the House of Reps.

Stop putting the narrative and spotlight on nut jobs and kooks like Desantis, Trump and Marjorie two names.
