Oops. He said it on Monday. Not yesterday.Not surprised. It's been a long time now that many people vote against their own best interests.
Edit: Oh geez, my days are all mixed up. Yesterday WAS Monday. Duh.

I don't understand how anyone in the working class can be gullible enough to vote republican!Trump is the Republican front-runner. Yesterday he suggested cutting social security and other entitlements:

The biggest problem I see with 24h gallows is how often we get it wrong. On the other hand I have absolutely no problem with using some sort of reliable "truth drug" and lie detector and whatever else we can develop to investigate major crimes. Heck, if I was innocent I'd welcome it if the other option was the gallows. The whole "can't make me testify against myself" has never made sense to me..
If they were sincere about our Republic, they would be voting from the rooftops.
If they were sincere about our Republic, they would be voting with nooses and lampposts.
.
On a lighter note:
If they were sincere about our Republic, they would be standing in line for juror duty.
If they were sincere about our Republic, they would help build 24/7/360° gallows.
Same day service, no waiting for the next spot.
Say what you will about Trump, but his wealth didn't come from making bad decisions.Trump is the Republican front-runner. Yesterday he suggested cutting social security and other entitlements:

He has made plenty of bad decisions and much of his wealth was acquired through fraud. He inflated his wealth by billions and was found guilty. See: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/16/nyregion/trump-civil-fraud-trial-ruling.htmlSay what you will about Trump, but his wealth didn't come from making bad decisions.
Those of us who are part of the system we speak of, know all too well the ridiculous referral system used by many Drs to spread taxpayer wealth around.
I've seen perhaps 20 different Drs due to multiple back surgeries, and have been told by more than one who can do - in his or her office - what is now directed by referral. I've heard this from more than one also "the system is a mess".
A long look at costs and unnecessary referrals, etc might just keep it solvent for those (Americans) who'll be needing it.
Wealth? LOL, how many people have you heard bankrupted a casino! He blew most of what he inherited , stiffed thousands of workers and is using contributions from supporters to pay his lawyers. Glad I'm not that gullible!Say what you will about Trump, but his wealth didn't come from making bad decisions.

Just because Biden is an idiot doesn't mean Trump isn't, as well. Or worse... idiot and criminal.Silly me.
I thought this thread was about Social Security.
Actions speak much louder than words -
From The Hill:
"The last cut in Social Security benefits was in 1983. When then-Sen. Biden (D-Del.) and 25 other Senate Democrats, along with 163 House Democrats, provided the large majority of votes to pass the last cut to Social Security benefits".
Just Sayin'
As to what this cut constituted:From The Hill:

Keith, that sounds a lot like what-about-ism.Silly me.

I do agree. Not bad decisions. He made it in a big part by cheating on his taxes and not paying his subcontractors and hiring illegals.Say what you will about Trump, but his wealth didn't come from making bad decisions.
