Hey, can’t help it - that I automatically find myself looking askance at anything the GOP wants or advocates or implements (or tries to).

Can’t help it. I’m in my early 70s and I’ve been watching and taking note (and in earlier days, I reported on it) long enough to be suspicious first, and then wanting to check it out to see if my suspicions were confirmed.

With the GOP in total charge in House, Senate, and White House (at least FOR NOW), I have MANY more suspicions than I otherwise might have. (Cuz when Repubs are in charge, they generally care more about what benefits the haves, while the have-nots are more likely to be ignored and/or kicked to the curb.)
