SPOILER ALERT: MAGA Republicans just exploded the debt by giving tax cuts to billionaires and expanding ICE to the size of an army.

That debt is the result of Republicans. Massive tax cuts for the uber-wealthy and mega-corporations. Global wars off-budget. DoD spending that's well over 50% of what is budgeted. A crippled IRS that allows wealthy tax cheats. Massive corporate subsidies, especially to profitable businesses.

Ummmmm...perhaps the largest tax break for billionaires wasn't the BEST idea.

Q: Rescission are something Dems have said is a reason for a lack of trust. What rescissions are you discussing?

JOHNSON: We have more than $37t in debt. We're doing everything we can to get us back to sound fiscal responsibility. What does that include? A rescission package is part of our process

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It is patriotic to support [the president] insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him if he fails in his duty to stand by the country"

2/2: This is Nazi eliminationist rhetoric aka stochastic terrorism meant to motivate their armed, extremist followers to attack these rallies to "defend" America; i.e., Grindr Mikey is calling for MAGA faithful to come to these and kill us. 100%. He's calling for a civil war.

1/2: Let me explain why they're doing this now: they know it's going to be a huge turnout--even bigger than before. So to try and blunt the media coverage (although legacy media will ignore this), they're selling it to their viewers that, yes, millions of us who aren't them are "terrorists"...
