Senate GOP campaign committee finally rolled out their agenda for the 2022 midterm elections = the GOP is a loser.

Republicans want to raise taxes on half the country — working-class and middle-class families, along with seniors on Social Security. As working people are struggling to make ends meet as we speak.

What the hell the ALEC GOP Right Wingers are calling to eliminate the Department of Education, further threaten voting rights, then cut the IRS budget in half which means tax returns will take forever not to mention setting our country back a few decades making it easier for wealthy tax cheats to get away with paying less than their fair share. NO WAY JOSE' !

Yes this how the ALEC GOP Right Wing Nuts claim to pay for further tax reductions to the more wealthy than most plus republicans will borrow what stealing from the other people cannot cover.

Quite an Anti American Agenda ........ man it does suck.

You know...you should probably pick a topic and run with it...instead of spamming your own thread with irrelevant stuff.

But let's take the first thing you presented. (Even though that's the one thing you didn't provide a link to.)

When someone starts talking about the "Senate GOP", keep in mind that they are talking about the "GOP Elites". Those are the guys who don't have the backing of the Republican rank and file.

Given that...I suggest you don't get excited. It won't go anywhere.

Tax cuts for the rich are tax increases for everyone else. If you go out to a meal where everyone pays for what they ordered, and the group tells the person who order the most 'you only have to pay for half of yours' and the total bill is still the same, what happens?

Me and some pals decided to play games over zoom about what midterm rhetoric might look like. The above scenario has been around since Reagan/Bush. Nothing changes except their privatization scam
is picking up speed.

Nothing changes with the anti american right wing nut agenda it just returns without fail. Therefore all of the information sources remain current information perhaps for another 40 years.

What needs to change tomorrow is the largest voting bloc in the USA needs ramp up, keep checking their voting status regarding conservatives purging voters ....time is running short. Then prepare a voters folder to document your right to vote:

Voters ORGANIZE A VOTING DAY PACKET which should contain:

--- a birth certificate

--- drivers license or state ID card

--- proof of voter registration etc etc etc.

--- Keep this information close by for at least 100 years.

Let's get on with it. WE voters have a mess to clean up.

CONSERVATIVES will never give up squashing democracy and YOUR right to vote.

17 states could elect a president leaving 33 states with no voice whatsoever! Under the Electoral College Umbrella

Since COVID 19 we do NOT go out to socialize. Been messing with ZOOM a little. This zoom chit chit was a first with more to come.

Next we are scheduling dinner out through zoom = all participants stay home which is kind of cool. I like the concept.

Conservatives don't change their agenda. Yes Fascism is still on their agenda. And tons of special interest money is still high on their list UNTIL we voters elect the other candidates = low spenders.

Yeah that insistence that voters ought to have to register to vote, vote in only one district, and vote in the district in which they live is really complicated by asking for ID. Democrats only want no ID so they can stuff ballot boxes. Really is not other sensible answer.

Anti American ALEC/GOP agenda is not rocket science after 40 years of repeating......will not likely change anytime soon. I believe we got fairly close. We'll be paying attention.

One big forgotten issue which is still alive is the constant harassment against women's rights.

None of that should surprise you, but Scott is in trouble for putting it out there.

Quite the contrary ...... healthy, fun, saves $$$$$, lots of broccoli, spinach, chard and kale greens, plus shredded cabbage and lettuce and some absolutely wonderful white medium sharp cheddar cheese.

Can't go wrong.

WOW a pot luck over ZOOM = everyone gets their favorite dish or dishes.

Yeah, we definitely have different ideas of "fun"

I prefer my friends and family gathered in person and being able to hug people.

I also wouldn't serve only broccoli, spinach, chard, kale, shredded cabbage/lettuce, and cheddar as a meal.

To each their own.
 
Would you classify them as private? As in privatization reckless use of tax dollars.
Privatization is the Koch word for fascism with tax dollars still attached = odd he and his associates want to steal/own these terrible government services: of course the ALEC GOP will funnel trillions of our tax dollars into the bank accounts of the terrorist ALEC GOP Fascists.
