They pay the Social Security tax, so they shouldn't get the benefit?

Fact is that Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Australia have abolished the death penalty.

China, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Syria (under Assad) use the death penalty.

Elon Musk did more to energize and unite Democrats than any other person in the 6 weeks since the election.

And he got nothing to show for it, other than egg on his face. Trump? He lost and now looks weak.

Next time I hear that government should be run like a business...

The response is easy...

"That's exactly what Musk thought"

Oh, did someone brief Musk in between ketamine hits?

The debt ceiling does not need to be increased to fund the government at this time. This was a Trump demand to suspend the debt limit 2 years.

The original intent was to fund the government. The debt ceiling is a much different thing.

A real mess. Happy Shutdown Day.

Washington Post: “One major reason 38 Republicans opposed the bill is because of the last-minute insertion to lift the debt limit. It’s a congressional requirement that is usually necessary every couple of years, but one that no Republican likes to do and many refuse to vote for.”

“Trump had been asking Johnson to lift the debt ceiling before he takes office, two House GOP sources familiar with the request said. But one of the sources said Johnson had been reluctant because he said he doesn’t have the votes.”

Total theater. Knows exactly what he wants and knows Trump will acquiesce.

Republicans broke Christmas! The whole Christmas season!

Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.

It could be their heads weren't screwed on just right.

It could be, perhaps, that their shoes were too tight.

But I think that the most likely reason of all,

May have been that their hearts were two sizes too small.

Of course they do. And of course it didn't work. Who is the majority party?

"A lot of the Republicans are pushing for him to become speaker of the House, which might be a demotion for him because he’s basically the fourth branch of the government.”
