What is a Medicare attack? Pointing out that Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney and Lindsey and Mitch have ALL called for cutting Medicare and Social Security?

Donald Trump: Socialist Big Spender.

This is his default mode, not any kind of new position.

“ Bloomberg and the WaPo are anti-Trump all the way.”

Pointing out that Trump doesn’t want to cut Social Security and Medicare? How is that anti-Trump? This is what makes Trump better than the average brain-dead Republican politician. He got elected in 2016 promising not to cut these programs. In contrast, McCain and Romney promised to cut them, and they LOST

A 2024 presidential candidate that runs on cutting social security and medicare will suffer the worst defeat in presidential politics. There are other options that are more attractive politically, medicaid, covid spending, education, etc.

The “Socialist Big Spenders” are the Republicans who vote to send billions to Ukraine.

The Democrats are just quoting Republicans who call for cutting Medicare and Social Security. In recent weeks, those calls have come from Mitch, Thune, Lindsey, Romney, among others. And of course Paul Ryan. Trump has been telling Republicans for years to cut other programs and stop talking about cutting Social Security and Medicare. He’s right

There is no reasonable hope for US federal government finances if deep cuts on outlays are not soon made in CMS.

Mitch wants to cut Social Security outlays so he can use the money we pay in Social Security taxes to subsidize Zelensky and the government of Ukraine.

President Trump is doing just fine poll-wise. Is the Pedo Joe is being taken down by the Deep State the FBI robbery at Mar-a-Lago has been revealed even to the average brain-washed American.

“...and Donald Trump the worst.”

Not really. The “worst” refers to MSM reports, which are definitely not detailing a natural flow of grassroot sentiments.

As for DeSantis, has anyone noticed any negative press much for him. My thinking is that once they think they have successfully gotten rid of Trump, they know something about DeSantis that will quickly take him out, or he will just be easily taken out once they train their big guns on him.

Maybe they will just remind Trump supporters that DeSantis voted for the TPP treaty, which would have destroyed American sovereingty coompletely.

Cutting these popular programs — or “saving” them, as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy prefers to put it — is a longstanding conservative goal.

What is with these goddamned uniparty politicians, writers, and some of you FR poseurs? Social Security (as opposed to the corrupted SSDI or Social Security Disability Insurance program giveaway which can benefit 20-year-olds if they are clever enough) doesn't have anything to do with being "popular". It's not an illegal alien movie star.

Instead, it's a long term retirement investment program millions of taxpayers paid into over the years of their hard working lives, which now generates a modest monthly retirement benefit they are entitled to receive. It is NOT a giveaway program or welfare. Get smart people or f'n get lost.

It’s not as if Medicare covers anything
