Their constituency is the Uber Wealthy.

The rest of the people are an afterthought at most.

He voted for the bill because it's what the party wanted and he lacked the courage to Stand Up.

Now he wants the Governor shield his state from the Worst of the fallout.

Blowback is coming...ICE and Repression will become the new normal..for Citizens...not just migrants.

The Worst is yet to come.

Trump will use protests as an excuse to Cancel midterm elections.

It's getting uglier by the day.

Hmmmmmm.

I was told by MAGA yesterday that rural hospitals need feel no fear.

I guess that this Republican legislator never got the same memo.

Let me guess:

Unless the Democratic governor doesn't undo what the MAGA Rep did he's going to be damned as someone who does not care about sick people?

The message, whole and entire, of the BBB is that MAGA wants sick people to get sicker and die.

Which they are going to do.

You know he can't cancel elections, right?

There's literally no mechanism for doing that. Elections couldn't even be canceled during the civil war.

We'll see how the tampering attempts go, and you know those will be happening. But there will be no cancellation.

Russia still holds elections.

Surprise. Putin won in a landslide. With apparently no competition. For some reason they all decided to go to jail instead of run for office. And Putin just changed the constitution so he could stay in power.

In Russia they have 90% voter participation. Highest in Russian history! Amazing. No?

In Putin's Russia you vill vote. You vill vote for Putin. And you vill like it.
