Republicans should be very, very thankful they have AOC and her “squad” of anti-Semites and socialists to point to come Election Day. Otherwise, why the hell would we keep on voting for them?

The new “conservative” proposal from Senate Republicans is not a spending cut, but the creation of yet another unfunded entitlement in the form of the Child Rearing and Development Leave Empowerment, or Cradle, Act. The paid parental leave plan, unrolled by the usually stalwart conservative senators Joni Ernst of Iowa and Mike Lee of Utah, is the latest in a string of Republican attempts to cater to the notion conjured by Ivanka Trump that the GOP is bleeding women because it’s not giving the ladies enough free cash, instead of maybe what her dad says on his Twitter account.
