And now you know why the Medicaid cuts only kick in later, to give time to the ICE Gestapo to round up as many recipients as possible before they get kicked out.
Nah, it's to blame democrats after they win seats in the midterms. It sets up the GOP for another presidential run.
Exactly, that's why the GOPs game plan has a chance of working. The GOP are very good at long term, strategic thinking. Look at all the damage they've done through slowly gerrymandering and through all the grooming of judges through the Federalist Society. The DNC has never thought long term like that.
I'm not making any assertions. I'm making observations.
Noting the damage done by gerrymandering and the Federalist Society is clearly an observation. No assertion needed.
The cuts are not so easily rolled back as long as Trump has veto power.
Yes they were; that is exactly what "after they win seats in the midterms" means.
Democrats were not a majority in the Senate at any point in Biden's term, and even if you lump the independents in with them that only gave them an extremely narrow margin.
On top of that, they lost the House half-way through Biden's term.
