only because they know the ONLY way they can win elections is by cheating. carry on

as a native Texan, I assure you that this is a result of several things: 1. all the Nays are as crooked or want to be as Paxton and know they can now; 2. trump backed Paxton all the way because Paxton tried to help trump with his election lies, which COULD still get Paxton in deep kimchi ((would love to see him as one of the unnamed co-conspirators that Jack Smith is going after in the election fraud case)). 3. the message is that any Republican can get away with any criminal activity that they care to do. Big crime in Texas Republican politics is OK. that's the message. carry on

hey, kiddo. How are you? I was off of here for about 2 months because of a virus attack. I finally managed to thwart it but, for some reason I forgot how to get back on Mastodon, accept on my phone, which I rarely used for it. Hope you are well. bill

the fact is that Reagan "stole" $2.7 Trillion from the Social Security Trust Fund by saying he would repay it. That was money that hard working people put into the fund. He had no right to take it, but they had no other way to pay for the LAST GREAT TAX BREAKS FOR THE ULTRA RICH. 

So, if those bastards would simply take $2.7 Trillion, without any interest added, and put it back into the SS Trust Fund, Social Security would be fixed for a VERY LONG TIME. the end.
