For decades, Dems lied about the opinion of 95% GOPs on Social Security and Medicare (Republican Bush/Congress expanded the latter).

Biden's SOTU gave the GOP an opportunity of a life time to destroy the lie and they took it.

Which is why Libs are "fact checking" GOPs on it.
The counter troll by the GOP was so good that Biden was forced to say that it's not all/most GOPs; only "some."

Haven't seen such a boomerang of a political trolling in my 22 years following - and 17 years commenting on - politics.

@HouseGOP won it hands down.
Look. Here a Dem-leaning friend tells me that Biden showed America that the GOPs are leftists on Medicate and Social Security (not to cut it) while simultaneously writing that Republicans lied what they stand for.

This is a contradiction.

Folks, the GOP won the round. Wow! Image
Going forward, any time Dems and their media will repeat the decades-old lie that "Republicans want to kill MSS," Republicans will easily pull up the video of the #SOTU showing it is a lie.

NOT killing those programs does not mean they don't need to be reformed/strengthened.
Here IN ONE TWEET is the baseline of #DebtCeiling discussions if anyone is serious about it.

It does not involve Medicare & Social Security.

Dems misleadingly used it against the GOP for decades but Biden gave the GOP a win by letting them show at a SOTU their true stance.

WOW Image

If the latest spin by the Biden Admin is true (that the military didn't know/notice the China balloons in the Trump Era), then Mark Milley should be demoted ASAP.

Also, maybe if the Intel Community were not busy destroying Trump, they may have noticed the balloons.
.@ByronYork One balloon with Biden was seen by civilians while three with Trump were not.

How?

Anyway, Intel Community tried destroying Trump with the Collusion Hoax and being shills against Hunter's laptop.

Milley undermined Trump too.

I don't believe these LYING HACKS!
Trump left office two years ago, yet neither during his time in office nor the last two years were there reports about balloons, yet after a week of Biden taking incoming and the military suddenly "pieces together" that Trump had balloons?

THEY ARE LYING TO YOU, MORONS!!!

🚨 🚨 🚨 Thread of a terrorist mastermind being freed by the US and the Biden Admin is funding his stay in Belize including resettlement of his family.

Good thing he wasn't a stooge in a federal sting to kidnap a Governor where one person was given almost 20 years prison.
Many people in free countries think of themselves as would-be heroes where had they lived in despotic countries they would speak truth to power; help persecuted people.

HAHAHA. You live in a free country yet you don't accept and you sure don't speak out against government PR.
Pundits spoke gleefully how people close to Putin were about to take him out early/mid-last year. I don't know the future but he is in power now.

Why? For the same reason few people in a "free" country speak up against the abuses surrounding J6 trespassers.

Three @HouseGOP's (from a caucus of 222) already object to removing @Ilhan from the Foreign Relations committee.

Meanwhile, all 222 @HouseDemocrats signed off on all and every vindictive and abusive move by Pelosi against House Republicans.

Idiots are Republicans, folks.

Sad.
@RepKenBuck @NancyMace @Victoria_Spartz Hi. The @HouseGOP should not engage in tit-for-tot. Instead, it should come up with new and more brutal ways to inflict political pain on HouseDems who ALL OF THEM went along with Pelosi tactics against @HouseGOPs!

@SpeakerMcCarthy
By inflicting the utmost political price on the other side, there is a chance - just a chance - that next time @HouseDemocrats won't abuse their power even more against @HouseGOP's! Being nice will cost your own side's ability to govern!

Amazing to see @SpeakerMcCarthy put #CoutnryOverParty. Taking these steps will perhaps create media blowback for House Republicans but there is no time to worry about bad press when the country's intel is at risk. I am sure @Liz_Cheney and @AdamKinzinger are proud.
I was skeptical that McCarthy will take the difficult step of restoring the integrity of House Intel by ejecting the two members who used their roles there for innuendo against political opponents as if this is Russia. cc @SteveScalise @EliseStefanik @brithume @ArthurSchwartz
Now that partisan distractions @ericswalwell and @AdamSchiff are off the committee, other members can focus on the country's Nat Security such as how classified docs were roaming free at Penn State or at the home of a former VP for SIX YEARS. (Trump only 18 months yet raided).

The You Tube part alone is enough for @scrowder to blow up the offer by @JeremyDBoreing because it means his work/income can go bye bye one min to next based on some Lib at YT.

This helps explain @benshapiro's chicken 🐔 💩 stance on many issues: Can't afford to rock the boat!
Remember Shapiro's "outrage" in Oct 2022 how "we were lied to by everyone" about the efficiency of the COVID-19 shots?

Well, plenty of Conservatives have yelled this 15-18 months earlier based on available data but Ben couldn't afford to go there and risk a YT suspension. Image
It's @benshapiro's call how he earns money, but it's worth to understand the dynamic:

His benefactor stipulates in contracts that income crashes if liberals at YT suspend so... Ben doesn't walk the plank. Other Cons do, and he comes in a year late with faux indignation.

Another vicious physical attack on visibly Jewish people in Brooklyn.

Meanwhile, @elizashapiro and @brianmrosenthal keep running articles how "bad" Yeshivas are rather than articles how bad the school system that generates the attackers are.
@carolynryan @RBlumenstein
If Yeshiva students and alumni in NYC had committed hundreds of acts of physical street violence in recent years and mostly targeting members of one community, these attacks would be PROOF how "bad" Yeshivas are. cc @samdolnick @marclacey @DYShor @HaMeturgeman @errollouis
I know that such attacks would be used against Yeshivas because when 45 Hardeim died in a stampede, the then-leader of @yaffedorg had endless tweets of problems there; no words of condolences.

When a few Orthodox Jews are arrested for alleged fraud, YAFFED & Enablers POUNCE.
