Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        GOP has been pulling this same scam for more than a 100 years and they have more power now than ever. You can pretty much count on the rubes to not catch on or even if they do catch on for a second to get distracted by a shiny object and fall back in line.

        Weirdly optimistic stance for you, Marcy. The rubes have been sold the same bill of goods since Reagan and they never seem too bothered by it

        Of course, it has nothing to do with the Republicans actually *saying* that they're going to cut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security to pay for their recent tax cut. That has nothing to do with it. Nothing, at all.
