Chris Hayes: “In bullet number two of the ‘ultra-secret’ PowerPoint that Kevin McCarthy showed his Republican caucus—a few days after cutting a secret deal with the MAGA-wing of the party—is the plan to cut Social Security and Medicare.” - Aired on 01/10/2023.

1. Threatening the lives of senior citizens...

2. Targeting the most vulnerable...

6. Then they can gobble up all the foreclosed homes & expand their slumlord realm.

Memphis is trying to get qpukes to allow for a public landlord registry.

What are the odds they will allos this? Zip to nil.

There is 1 landlord who has not disosed of trash for 6 months. Images in news are surreal!

Gosh, I wonder who owns such a property? It's huge. Not mom & pop...

[Rhiannon12866]

7. How despicable!

And here we thought we were out of the woods when we got rid of TFG and elected the most experienced POTUS in history. But now we're dealing with abuses on a local level - what you described in Tennessee and here in NY-21 we're again stuck with the unfettered ambition of Stefanik who will do anything to advance herself - despite constituent objections - and my friend lost the State Senate race to one of her advocates.

[SheltieLover]

9. Yup & in this climate it's no doubt breeding vermin like crazy!

How can a public landlord registry be illegal? Ask qpukes.

Stefanik .

I hope the idiots who voted for her get all they deserve.

Sorry your friend lost.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. I blame it on TFG, he's gotten away with so much that Republicans are following his example

I cannot believe that after two years he's still making headlines with his antics! I remember during the 2016 campaign I quit watching the news because he was so offensive - and couldn't wait for the election to be over so we'd never have to see or hear from him again!

[SheltieLover]

15. You have the patience of a saint if it took you until 2016 to quit watching tv.

I quit years ago. Zero tolerance for spineless, disingenuous people.

I know what you mean about tfg.

If I were queeb for a day, he'd be in solitary with a strict gag order.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. Since I've been on DU (and after 9/11 here in NY), I've tried to keep up with the news...

[SheltieLover]

17. You have a strong stomach, my friend.

I read news here, but mindfully. Not attached to outcome as there is nothing I can do about the goings on. 😏

[Rhiannon12866]

18. I worked very hard for my previous congressman - and I try to keep informed

*sigh*

[SheltieLover]

19. Ty for your investment in our democracy!

[Rhiannon12866]

20. 9/11 woke me up. I'd always voted, but I figured I need to start paying real attention

I was scared witless.

[SheltieLover]

21. Yup. Same here!

[SheltieLover]

4. Absolutely!

[MagaSmash]

3. A Worthless POS.

[Rhiannon12866]

5. He's willing to send his most vulnerable constituents under the bus to keep that gavel...

11. Bakersfield has the highest murder rate

in California. They won't collect Social Security anyway.

14. Good Grief!

McCarthy needs to spend more time in his home district working for his constituents!

[Turbineguy]

8. What's the point of being Speaker

if you can't be the worst?

[Rhiannon12866]

10. It's only been a few days, but he's sure working hard at it!

[SheltieLover]

13. Racing to circle the drain.

Typical qpuke.

Here's news article on that apt comelex & landlord registry issue. Video is 2:51, with pix of trash.

Sickening!

22. From what the article says, it sounds like this registry could alleviate the current abuses

Unless the landlords find more ways around it...

[SheltieLover]

23. That's exactly why qpukes don't allow it!
