Delawareans: Medicare is great!  Dems:  Hey guys...Let's privatize and fuck up Medicare. 

Delaware's Retirees Utterly Screwed By John Carney 

The change to state pensioners’ health care plan caught both retirees and lawmakers off guard, which led to Democratic Senate leaders asking Gov. John Carney to push the implementation of the new Medicare Advantage plan.

The Carney administration has denied this request, citing contractual obligations among other reasons. Ultimately, according to a letter to lawmakers obtained by Delaware Online/The News Journal, the plan to replace retiree’s Medicare plan is already in motion and it’s too late to stop it.

The plan will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2023.

Remember to try and get your local Republican office holder on the record as a MAGA Extremist, or a regular Republican.
It is official.  Both frontrunners for the GOP's presidential nomination are under investigation.  One could say that they are trying to weaponize crime.

Is Your Delaware State Senator/Rep a MAGA Republican?

Most incumbent Republicans are working hard right now to cover their tracks and scrub their web sites of MAGA policies. That's why we've come up with a simple endorsement type questionnaire for everyone living in a GOP Senate of House district. Simply send this easy, three item questionnaire to your state Senator or Rep and and unless you get back three "YES" responses - your DEGOP state Rep or Senator is a MAGA Republican. Here we go: 1) Do you think Joe Biden won the 2020 election fairly? [ ] YES [ ] NO 2) Do you think rioters that broke into and vandalized the US Capitol on January 6th of 2021 are criminals and should be treated as criminals? [ ] YES [ ] NO 3) Do you think stealing top secret documents and leaving them exposed to discovery by the agents of governments hostile to the United States is a criminal act that should be treated as such? [ ] YES [ ] NO
Three simple questions. Unless you get three simple, unqualified YES responses in return, your DEGOP Senator of Rep is a MAGA republican. I'll be sending this to my Rep, Kevin Hensley and reporting his responses here.
