Seniors are retired. They've got time to start shit and make you miserable. They show up to town meetings. They show up to everything. And when they show up they are PISSED OFF.

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

He’s an out of touch idiot ‼️

My first take is it's a threat. Hoping seniors will be afraid to show up and complain

the-refreshed-home.bsky.social•12 days ago

Seniors have done this before and are showing the rest of us how it's done.

Pretty sure it's because they're dictators and they know it.

And if his mother didn't get a check the following month? Would she complain then? I'm guessing yes... as would all seniors. And boy, would they be pissed.

People who are 94 may not know how to speak up and call social security! They don’t know how to use the internet nor do they want to! I guess what they want is thousands of old people homeless dying from hunger and the elements out under bridges and streets or park benches.

and that anyone who does complain is

And yet a majority of white seniors voted for Trump.

I've been thinking he's as looney as Mike Lindell. Now I realize he's also as heartless as Elon Musk and as stupid as Donald Trump.

And why would they be unafraid that seniors, who notoriously go to the polls reliably, would not be angered by not only these remarks, but with messing around with earned benefits? Think about it. Do they know something about future elections?

deliarn.bsky.social•12 days ago

They know that a lot of the seniors will continue to vote against their own best interest..

wsbeck.bsky.social•12 days ago

How about that their vote won’t count? That’s the only reason I can see.

I suspect, when "looking for fraud" after 2020, compromises were not discovered but instead were installed. New evidence is emerging. But when djt controls the cops all bets are off.

wsbeck.bsky.social•12 days ago

If you see credible evidence from a good source, Please post it and send it to me.

deblavoy.bsky.social•12 days ago

They truly do not care. That’s the problem.

problemchild1952.bsky.social•12 days ago

Fucking piece of shit

darbydoo.bsky.social•12 days ago

Of course she wouldn’t complain because he’s a fcking billionaire. Omg these people are so out of touch.

Don't piss off Grandma!

He forgot to lie.

“Public records suggest that his mother-in-law, Geri Lambert, lives with Lutnick and his wife, Allison, at his Upper East Side townhouse in Manhattan, further suggesting that she is not relying on Social Security for rent or mortgage payments.”

marlencha1992.bsky.social•12 days ago

That’s why they’re not doing anymore town halls

jschurr.bsky.social•12 days ago

Stealing from the elderly.. so masculine. So tough. Macho man.

kmp0204.bsky.social•12 days ago

What a waste of space. I don’t get my check, I sure as hell am going to raise hell

girlybojon.bsky.social•12 days ago

Yeah, he can pretty much scratch off going out in public. . .
And if he's smartr, he definitely shouldn't eat out anywhere.

What a loser.
People with obscene amounts of money just love to spit on the backs of those that their empires were built upon.

Being a billionaire breaks your brain in so many ways. I have worked with billionaires, and they are dangerous precisely because of how broken they tend to be. Their money is not enough to make all their wishes come true, but they are rich enough to warp reality and make others miserable.
