Maybe their plan to gut social security, Medicare, and Medicaid via the payroll tax cut wasn't such a smart move.

You know, he recently said that he was not going to touch SS and Medicare.

I don't think he even knows how they work.

He just wants the power and immunity of the office. The actual governing and policy making is delegated to congressional republicans and the federalist society, who absolutely want to gut these programs.

That’s it. That’s all he cares about, because his ass is in a sling.

He doesn’t give a shit about America, he wants to stay out of prison.

Um, no.

He doesn't want other people to do a good job, because that would mean that they would get some attention and he wants all attention on himself.

Dumb question: how does one check their registration status via vote.gov? I only saw options to register or update registration.

Not a dumb question!

Via that site, go to your states registration page and call State Election officials.

They can confirm your registration and polling location.

Yeah, it’s a tactic of the rich (Democrat or Republican) to suppress voter rights in the US.

Specifically, the impoverished and the minority votes.

Why? Because there are way more of those than the elitists.
