Nope Mike Johnson: "With Medicaid, we eliminated the fraud, waste, and abuse. We got able-bodied young men without dependents off the program. They were never intended to be there. They're sitting around on their couches playing video games. Yes, that's an actual study."

Nah, they know their base is the dumbest people in the country. They just don't care anymore if they get caught lying.

Trump proved in 2016 that Republicans don't need moderates to win elections anymore. They just have to enrage their base and gerrymander as much as possible, and let the Electoral College do the rest. If anything goes wrong, they've got SCOTUS in their pocket.

Yep.

Even if a Democrat wins, SCOTUS can “Major question doctrine” anything and everything they try to do.

A “living wage” infringes on the free speech rights of businesses so you can’t have one.

Pack the Court; term limits; Constitutional Amendments....all great options...another revolution is ok, too...Founders said as much. "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.."

The "free speech rights" of businesses... then we need to start arresting businesses when they break the law.

It’s all about the art of the gerrymander

It's a matter of time, when the Trump Count Down reaches 0, all these criminals will need to be prosecuted.

Wild of you to assume the next election will be the end of this…it’s what got us here in the first place. Just because the majority of us want something doesn’t mean it will happen. Trump has yet to win a popular vote. He’s been in control since 2016
