"I want to start with a simple point," said Raskin. "We have members threatening witnesses with arrest and prosecution for clearly imaginary offenses, or at least offenses that might make sense in their mind, but I don't know what they would be," said Raskin. "Twitter is a private, First Amendment protected media entity, and you make your own decisions, like Fox News — and I might get kicked off of Fox News or they might not cover me — or the Wall Street Journal or MSNBC. I've got no constitutional right to go there, so I think there is legal fallacy and logical fallacy that pervades most of the questioning today."

"Under our First Amendment, there's state action requirement; there is no state action here," said Raskin. "Now, there's an attempt to, perhaps, jerry-rig some state action by claiming, well, it was really the FBI that committed whatever offense was there, but what do we have in terms of what we found today? Today's witnesses, each and every one, testified no U.S. governmental official directed any of them to censor, remove, or take down the New York Post story. That was their mistake. Two, today's witnesses testified the Biden campaign did not direct Twitter to take action against the New York Post story. And three, the whole hearing was predicated on the idea the FBI directed Twitter to take down the New York Post story to protect Biden, but, once again, not a single witness testified the FBI even communicated with Twitter about the New York Post story."

Biden lied and said some Republicans were trying to let SS and Medicare ‘Sunset’. As in eliminate.

"When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security, as well," Biden said. "I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant veterans’ benefits." Sen. Biden

"I meant every single solitary thing in the federal government," Biden said. "And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time." - Sen. Biden


Did you read that article you posted. It says House Republicans have offered two bills to create panels to consider future legislation to shore up the solvency of entitlement programs.

‘Shore Up’. As in ‘keep something from falling apart’.

Does that sound like cutting SS or allowing it to ‘sunset’ as Biden lied last night?

Current projections show SS will be insolvent by 2034, and 81 million Americans will face automatic benefit cuts of 20%. Medicare is projected to be insolvent by 2028.

So why do the dems have a problem with creating panels to consider future legislation to save SS and Medicare from insolvency?
