Any time I hear a new scary buzzword from that lot, I assume it’s just code for “the Jews”.
Congressman Rick Allen says he wants to raise the age at which people can draw Social Security, because they’re telling him they want to work longer.
Wait… If you draw social security, you’re then not allowed to work? Is there some rule like this? (not a real question)
In addition, a simple google search tells me that someone can defer SS payments to age 70 if they so choose.
I assume that the Congressman is an idiot. Default assumption.

Speaking of MTG, did she speak out against the MO House requiring women to cover their arms/shoulders?
I’d love to see a female, or any, republican in Georgia request the same rule just to see if she’d push back against someone from her own party.
She is almost always sleeveless. So, I’m eager to see her obey the new mandate. Just her though, cause she’s gross.

That’s specifically why I picked her.
After comparing herself to a Nazi-era Jew when required a mask, how would she react to someone, from her own party, asking her to cover her arms?
Will she do it because it’s what the party wants or will she push back because she doesn’t want to wear that…but that would also mean siding with the left, who would also push back against it?
Or maybe she’d do what I expected MO lawmakers to do and go full Handmaid’s Tale.
Actually, that’s true for me. Specifically, I want to collect my paychecks and Social Security benefits simultaneously.
Which I’m doing.

Very possibly (my bolding there).
But I’d guess he’s also a man hoping to be greatly and munificently rewarded by a billionaire class who’d very much like the government to cut the amount of money going to seniors, and funnel that money, instead, into the pockets of said billionaires.

Did they have tears in their eyes as they begged to keep working?
Dan
Tears- yes. Begging to keep working-no.
Don’t be silly; God is an American. A white Republican evangelical American with His own AR-15.

FOUR motives, and I think you’ve left out the most important one: POWER! Hate, Fear, devotion to Trump
…and nice red hats - FIVE! FIVE motives…
Well, we were worried about more violence from rigged voting claims. And so it starts.
Found the guy who wants open borders!
Yep. I saw that and my first thought was “It was only a matter of time.”

Boebert and Greene got into a near screaming match in a bathroom off the House floor over the McCarthy Speakership election.
“Politico reported that somebody had to step in to de-escalate the argument because it looked like they were about to get physical.”
Man, someone needs to stop stopping these two from going after each other. An actual physical fight might actually have an effect on their popularity.
Well, at least for the one that loses, anyways.
Imagine the Pay-Per-View profits! We could make a fortune!
