"While Hawley’s proven to be especially inept at this game, this is a familiar routine by now," wrote Kruse on his personal Substack. "Someone linked to the Religious Right claims that America really is, or should be, a 'Christian nation' and we’re off on a thrilling game of Quote/Counterquote as conservatives and liberals go on a scavenger hunt looking for lines from letters and speeches to justify their own position on the role of religion in American government. The wide range of opinions trotted out in these debates never leads to any consensus, which, of course, is why we play this dumb game over and over again." ...

Larry Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) I like the commentary. But I'm also seeing what looks like a contradiction. He seems to be simultaneously arguing that Tubberville's attention seeking is both: 1). Undermining military readiness, resulting in the deaths of soldiers and civilians the world over. And 2). Completely meaningless, and in fact demonstrating their complete powerlessness. Edited July 10, 2023 by Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmirOfShmo Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Searched but didn't find an SSA thread so I'll put this here... Dems' wealth tax bill would extend Social Security solvency by 75+ years: analysis Legislation recently introduced by a pair of Democratic U.S. lawmakers to save Social Security for generations to come would extend the vital social program's lifespan by at least 75 years, according to a federal analysis published Tuesday. The Medicare and Social Security Fair Share Act—introduced in April by Senate Budget Committee Chair Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), with a companion bill put forth Tuesday by Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-Pa.) in the House—"would extend Social Security solvency indefinitely by making the nation's highest earners contribute their fair share," Boyle's office said in a statement Tuesday. The bill would require taxpayers making more than $400,000 annually to contribute more to Medicare, while closing legal loopholes and also ensuring "that wealthy owners of pass-through businesses like hedge funds and private equity firms with more than $400,000 in annual income cannot avoid Medicare taxes." ... Meanwhile, a bill introduced earlier this year by Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Reps. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Val Hoyle (D-Ore.) would increase Social Security benefits by at least $200 per month and prolong the program's solvency for decades by lifting the cap on the maximum income subject to Social Security payroll tax. https://www.rawstory.com/dems-wealth-tax-bill-would-extend-social-security-solvency-by-75-years-analysis/ 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their actions need to follow... Now take that and 10x the **** out of it. Jim Jordan isn't a hard target if you're trying to talk to Dems and Indys. He could be their "Nancy Pelosi" connecting everything to the guy who ignored male athletes being sexually abused by their male coaches. "Oh, this guy... he's just another Jim Jordan Republican..... sweaty and trying to distract you. Is this guy obsessed with nudes of males too?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest one was the news "report" from a Russian media outlet supposedly showing pics of Hunter with underage girls. Only it wasn't Hunter lol...and was floating around on the interwebs back in 2018 if not earlier.
