What do I think? I think they are sneaky a$$es. They know that their base of MAGAts are not smart enough to remember that they are the ones who wrote the Medicaid cuts into the bill and they are the ones who passed it. It will look to their foolish followers like the Repugnicans saved their Medicaid (if they manage to remove the language in Reconciliation.)

Typical. Screw their constituents. Deny they did any wrong, then take credit for fixing it. Been that way since the sixies.

Constant lying, and manipulation along with gas lighting. The hypocrisy of it all in the Republican cult party.

It seems the Ministry of Truth is having trouble wiping out the memories of the past. Republicans always say they are cutting taxes for the working class and add more taxes through consumption, highest healthcare costs and social security. Taxes are not being reduced or eliminated on Social Security. A tax credit will be given to people earning 75k or 150k for a couple that is only for two years. Taxes will still be paid if you have pension income plus social security. Medicare payments are being increased and taken from social security payments.

My mother was an independent and could not vote in Florida primaries as a result. In Virginia republicans can vote in democratic primaries affecting the outcome of our candidates. So much is wrong with the state voting rules in red states. We are in serious trouble if we don’t think outside the box as T and MAGA do. We need a very clever plan to stop this authoritarian regime from starving and weakening our poorest people. Corporations were getting their meager wage earners subsidized by food stamps, snap and Medicaid. Our people with lose healthcare for their elderly and disabled.

Are we supposed to forget everything else in the Big Brutal Bill like ICE funding for detention camps , the giveaway to billionaires, all the other cuts? Medicare will be the Republican’s focus to draw our attention away from all the other negative issues . Sneaky shits

What do I think? I think they are cowards, every single one. I think they thought they could get away with this and when the outrage began pouring out over this last weekend, they started getting sweaty under the armpits. They are backtracking not because they give a damn about anyone, but because they don't want to lose their seats. Assuming, that is, that we even have any other election in this country.

This seems super manipulative to me. Now if they pass something before the mid terms, they can sell it like they are saving medicaid.... the madicade that they sunk in the first place. This 3D chess is just exhausting.

Two thoughts

1) it will probably work because the democrats (of which I was a diehard) haven’t a clue what to do, and

2) when it works I will be leaving the country
