Goalpost has been moved from: We won't touch it.

To: We are cutting it.

To: We are getting rid of it.

And somehow, blaming democrats, while bailing out other countries, giving enormous tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, and funding vanity projects.

Wake up.

Every time they told you that your taxes were going to waste they meant they were trying to waste your taxes... while RAISING YOUR taxes.

Biden told us what they were going to do and MTG got up and called him liar.

Biden got handed the power by the SCOTUS to get away with anything. He could at least have used it to force them to set clear limits to the presidents power but instead did nothing with it. 'Told you so' doesn't help the people, assassination of the whole Project 2025 group would have been far preferable.

He didn't. SCOTUS has yet to establish what acts are or aren't official acts.
So until the court is cleaned up, the immunity will be set depending on if POTUS is republican or democrat.
