Possibly the single best moment of any State of the Union ever. Absolutely masterful.
@MeidasTouch Can somebody please explain to me what happened here in layman's terms? I am not following US politics, but this looks something interesting.
@MeidasTouch Rick Scott proposed to sunset social security and Medicare.
@MeidasTouch This was singularly the best Dem own of the GOP I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. And I’ve been voting since 1979.
@MeidasTouch I noticed how the right all of a sudden got very quiet with the "we can all agree it's off the books' statement. They're like "damn, we've been played"
@MeidasTouch The protection of Social Security and Medicare in a live 1 vs 218 debate was a master class in negotiations. Regardless of how it plays out, it will bring amazement and smiles for decades.
@MeidasTouch So the republicans are just going to pretend that we didn’t see them on live tv telling the public that they wanted to cut social security?
@MeidasTouch @meidasjordy They have clearly discussed social security and medicare since last june repeatedly, from privatizing it, to changing qualifications for receiving it, extending the age, sunsetting it, to evaluating it annually and doing away with it.
@MeidasTouch Can someone explain to this Brit what precisely happened in this clip?
@MeidasTouch It was at this moment that Kevin McCarthy knew the GOP had f**ked up…
@MeidasTouch Too bad fellow Republicans, cowards that they are, didn’t vigorously repudiate statements by Mike Lee and Rick Scott. youtu.be/8R3w-ispso0
