    Reminder he had to be taken to task by his peers who were pissed off at him to do this. They should make Bernie minority leader in the senate

    “did not vote for Harris” as in the either voted for Trump, 3rd party or didn’t vote at all. That’s why I said vast majority didn’t vote for her.

    Well per early post-inauguration public opinion polls, most Americans approve of the job Trump's doing so far, so I think "Americans wanted this" checks out

    It is semantics, but I don't think it is "vast". Popular vote he won by a little.

    Certainly not enough where people should lay down and watch him dog fuck this country with no push back

    he’s the first president to be under water in the first post inauguration poll and only the second to be under 50%, with the first one being Donald Trump in his first term

    This was just shared on FB. I mean these are the people that politicians are trying to reach and this is a microcosm of how information gets distorted and shared and beliefs form. It’s pretty obvious which party talks on a level these people can understand. And why so many dumbasses think breaking the government is a positive thing.

    KEEP PASSING THIS AROUND UNTIL
    EVERY ONE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT...

    THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE
    GOVERNMENT'S CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE SOCIAL SECURITY IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY EVER COLLECTED A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!!!

    WHERE DID THAT MONEY GO?

    Remember, not only did you and I contribute to Social Security but your employer did, too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes.

    If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to$220,500.
    Read that again.

    Did you see where the Government paid in one single penny?

    We are talking about the money you and your employer put in a Government bank to ensure you and me that we would have a retirement check from the money we put in, not the Government.

    Now they are calling the money we put in an entitlement when we reach the age to take it back.

    If you calculate the future invested value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% interest (less than what the Government pays on the money that it borrows).

    After 49 years of working you'd have$892,919.98.

    If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit!

    If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.

    THE FOLKS IN WASHINGTON HAVE PULLED OFF A BIGGER PONZI SCHEME THAN BERNIE MADOFF EVER DID.

    Entitlement my foot; I paid cash for my social security insurance!

    Just because they borrowed the money for another government spending, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!!

    Remember the benefits for members of Congress?

    + free healthcare,
    + outrageous retirement packages,
    + 67 paid holidays,
    + three weeks paid vacation,
    + unlimited paid sick days.

    Now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my social security retirement payments entitlements?

    They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives, and now, when it's time for us to collect, the government is running out of money.

    Why did the government borrow from it in the first place? It was supposed to be in a locked box, not part of the general fund.

    Sad isn't it?
    99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.
    I'm in the 1%

    I JUST DID!

    She 100% didn’t talk about it all the time. She quite literally went away from her campaign at the beginning that appealed to people when she had a high approval rating due to Tony west this is documented. Hasan has spoken about this. Why do you think the “weird” stuff disappeared despite being so affective?

    All due respect man the nitpicking about this and that because you didn't hear things in some specific context in some media appearances just isn't fair.

    CK I'm kinda veering off and whatnot but I think "anti-establishment" as part of an appeal is lost on parts of the left related to Trump. It was discussed in the last few pages but in your context I think it's mostly related to the false belief that there is some legit large group of working class people who don't vote and can be reached. I'm just not sure any recent election has shown the belief is valid. And all due respect for whatever you say about Clyburn he does the bidding of probably the Dems most reliable demographic (older black voters). It's the unfortunate reality but more has to be done to get solve perceptions of voting blocks.

    Trumper I know just got furloughed at the CDC. I remember asking him at a Christmas party if he had any concerns and he was being very naive.

    Even went on and on about how wasteful government spending is and how there could be so many cutbacks.

    Talked to an old colleague yesterday who is a big Trumper, he owns a construction business a mostly doing federal work as a Minority Owned Business (he’s Pakistani). When I talked to him he couldn’t be happier that DEI was going away and the government was getting “more efficient” and that he’s sure this pure meritocracy is going to somehow benefit his company. He built his whole business/fortune as a MBE, but screw everyone else I guess; told him good luck when the government starts awarding all contracts to friends/family.
