President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

When I started working I never planned for Social Security to be there at the end. If it was, or is, then it's just gravy to my savings. I figure they'll still fuck over everyone.

 

Do we still get access to the money we have put into the system for years so we can invest it elsewhere? Or will Trump and Mike Johnson simply steal it?

 

I got one an hour ago asking me to chip in for House recounts. Managed to hold my response to one expletive before deleting and blocking.

 

Right, let's instead digest this vision of what so many of today's boys and young men are idolizing -- rich, extremely privileged (no bootstraps in sight), white, straight loudmouths who think it's fine to procreate at will but will never face the consequences of their actions.

Here's who's going to guide America for the foreseeable future: Trump, Trump Jr, Elon, Tucker, RFK Jr, Vance*.
Joe Rogan and the bro brigade will happily amplify their destruction.

Women are not safe. I appreciate all you dads and husbands on here saying you feel for us, your daughters, your wives, your colleagues and friends. Your sad feelings will not be enough to safeguard women from what's ahead.

*I'll give Vance one bootstrap.

 

They'll pull the plug with no notice.

If you try to do it gradually with incremental cutbacks, push back eligibility, etc etc, you gotta fight kicking and screaming every inch of the way as everybody argues why their granny has to keep her benefits while your granny loses hers. Much simpler to say it's all cut off tomorrow --no more money for anybody.

Of course that would piss off (hundreds of) millions of voters. Who cares? They never have to worry about elections again.

 

Says the white man with a government job.
I respect you @three_bags_full but goddam, take off your blinders and see the world through eyes not your own.

 

I’ll tell you this much. Unless I’m there as someone’s guest or there for work, I’ve stood for my last national anthem. If it is one of the exceptions, I’ll stand with my head bowed.

 

That cuts both ways.

A significant percentage of women voted for Trump. That's a reality that isn't easy to accept, but it happened. I don't understand it, but it needs to be understood, not dismissed.

 

All because someone said the words "toxic masculinity" and they lashed back like scorpions.

 

If I lose my SS disability benefits, I’ll die in a ditch because that money is the only thing keeping me housed and fed. My mom will die even sooner.

Im much more scared for the world my kids are inheriting.

 

It’s a good time for a bathroom break. No lines.
