stacescases2.bsky.social•59 days ago

No need to convince me. 😉

the-dude-abides.bsky.social•58 days ago

91 year old and still serving? Ugh.

briefer.bsky.social•59 days ago

I've never understood this supposed outrage.

It's an entitlement.

No. I worked my whole life for it.

Yes... That's why you're Entitled to it.

coloradocitizen.bsky.social•59 days ago

Technically, they were always called entitlements because you are entitled to them.

kangoroo17.bsky.social•59 days ago

Republicans have used the word entitlement to wrongly imply that it's a give away

coloradocitizen.bsky.social•59 days ago

The word was used from the very beginning of the program. Republicans are now just implying that they are giveaways and people that never heard the word used before are angry about the word. The word is not the problem it is the implication of them being welfare is.

briefer.bsky.social•59 days ago

Exactly. It's a maddening argument with my fellow liberals.

You're ENTITLED to it because you earned it. It's not welfare.

Republicans are redefining the word and we're letting them. Just like the word Woke.

coloradocitizen.bsky.social•59 days ago

BINGO

stacescases2.bsky.social•59 days ago

NOW we're getting somewhere!! Stop arguing semantics. Seniors now and later earned it and DESERVE it.

kangoroo17.bsky.social•52 days ago

Agree

The ENTIRE Congress needs an over haul: TERM &/or AGE Limits

bertfoxson.bsky.social•59 days ago

Keep watching Senate hearings. Before very long he will say entitlements many times because they are robotic.

bertfoxson.bsky.social•59 days ago

Retire this guy. She asked a question He stalled the question saying he couldn’t hear yet as she asked he walked away. He simply wasn’t listening.
The man is a wasted Senate seat.

gbutzek.bsky.social•59 days ago

We have to get these old geezers like Grassley
out of there and I say this as an old geezer.
We need fighters in there not these clowns.

Blue shirt lady for the Senate in Iowa!

barbarablucy.bsky.social•59 days ago

Doddering senile old toad needs to have all the seats. But yeah "Biden is too old". Grandpa got lost again.

stacescases2.bsky.social•59 days ago

Lmao Chuck WISHES he had overseen the world's best pandemic economic recovery instead of being saddled with this guy...

foolwatcher2025.bsky.social•58 days ago

Grassley is a coward

demyangel.bsky.social•59 days ago

This man should be retired by now. But, who elects him?

blueskykate101.bsky.social•58 days ago

It was originally called an entitlement, and the word had no negative connotation. Yes, you paid into it, and yes, you were entitled to it. Somehow the anti-welfare-queen crowd got ahold of it and made it a bad word. .

stacescases2.bsky.social•58 days ago

Who got to their positions with aid of corporate donors. The TRUE welfare queens.

jamson4.bsky.social•59 days ago

This man can’t even hear what you’re saying. His brain works to slow to process these things you’re asking. He’s not running again is he?

jamson4.bsky.social•59 days ago

There is already a work requirement for Medicaid if you can work you have to work. If you’re disabled then you don’t.

onetruepatriot.bsky.social•59 days ago

If the Uber rich paid even the same rate on every dime they make like an ordinary, hard-working citizen does, there would be plenty of money to fund SS and Medicaid. Most of the wealthy got that way through being born privileged or on the backs of others' labor...

loisincolorado.bsky.social•59 days ago

This guy is such a waste of space. He is losing them right before his eyes and has nothing but the GOP script in response.
