Yeah, “she’ll just assume it will be made up the next month.” 1) why would you assume that? I wouldn’t if I didn’t get my paycheck. 2) bold of you to assume they can pay for their meds, food, utilities, rent/mortgage, drs appts for the month without it.
I just did my mom’s taxes. If she didn’t get her social security check one month she couldn’t eat. Obviously we wouldn’t let that happen but many other seniors don’t have children and grand children who can help.
I miss having grownups in charge. Right now we have a government that throws temper tantrums when they don't get their way. Then they do something to make things worse. "I'll show you. You're not the boss of me."
As someone living in one of the two districts I can tell you it probably won’t make a difference. The kool aid has been consumed and HE is leading them to the promised land. I live in a city where he received around 47%of the votes and I work in a city where he received over 70% of the votes🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Yesterday, I heard AGAIN about how Bidens cabinet was full of rich people. Democrats only work for the rich. 🙈😡 I keep coming back with the difference in cabinet wealth but they spin off about how much Biden is worth.
It is insane how they turn crap around.
I know!! It’s so defeating to continually combat the lies with the truth and it feels like you are talking in a circle. They lie like it’s the truth. It really is crazy to watch.
I have literally lived in the vain hope that the Americans will see through Trump and his corrupt ways for eight continuous years or more.
But alas, it has been but, a pie in the sky dream without solace.
Similar to the feeling of flogging a dead horse.
'Tis quite exhausting and offers no relief!
I work with FIVE seniors who still work full time but collect SS ( oldest one is 87. yes- EIGHTY-SEVEN) I KNOW, they aren't going to miss an opportunity to COMPLAIN. They be CAMPIN' at SS office- legal aid and their state reps on SPEEDIAL!
He also said the only seniors that would complain about not receiving their check are the ones committing fraud. This is outrageous and basically it's a threat!
His mother-in-law wouldn't whine - she's probably rich. Does she struggles cheque to cheque? Does she have to make decisions between food, heat or medication? It shows how out of touch trump & the oligarchs in charge are. And to call those who need their cheques fraudsters if they complain. Shame
The Republican Party is more out of touch than the damn Democrats. And that's saying something. Why is everybody at my town hall mad at me? I don't know maybe it's because you're a fucking moron who listens to bigger fucking morons.
Seniors could die if their checks don’t show up!
Seniors could lose their homes if checks don’t show up.
Could not get medical care
Could not get food
IF THEIR CHECKS DON’T SHOW UP.
Hmmm, if I'm not mistaken they are crying because they cannot live. Houses will be taken, meds can't be purchased, food will not be had.. ..these GOP's are fucking CRUEL!!!!!!!
To top it all off, this was also in the news about SS:
The Trump administration has threatened to shut down the Social Security Administration (SSA) over a court ruling that blocks Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the personal data of millions of Americans.
Dems need to be playing like it’s an active election. Put these clips onto media in red states. Good thing red state media buys don’t cost as much as blue areas.
Medicare isn’t free either. We paid for it plus a premium is taken out every month from our social security! These evil bastards love making us fearful and anxious! They feed on it. It’s crystal clear we have to save ourselves.
Lutnick's assertion that people experiencing delays on their social security payments and complaining is because they are receiving it fraudulently is about as logical and makes as much sense as him being in charge of commerce.
How can we average peeps do this? I don’t think some of these seniors are tech savvy. And it will take too long for Dems to do it. Any pacs willing to buy airtime?
Do it. Let’s see how your elderly voters like missing their check, and how they will like finding out their landlords, supermarkets, doctors, and pharmacies have zero sympathy.
That is what will happen. It will not NOT happen this way. In fact, plan ahead and strategize. This should be the easiest win ever. Don't be like Ukraine in Feb 2022.
Don’t get me wrong, I get it. But I feel that Dems are setting themselves up for major disappointment with those three congressional races. They may pick up one, two if they’re lucky. But I seriously doubt all three.
According to Lutnick the nice, honest old person doesn’t make a fuss when the government steals from them. Insult to them when he paints them as so helplessly foolish. Insult to us if he thinks we’re too stupid to see through such a pathetic piece of propaganda.
Never happen the Dems dont have the massive billionaires backing them including their own media channels, 1500 radio echo channels ! Until America figures this out they can only when invited on echo out too the public !
Millions getting none of their money back can surprisingly override all of this brainrotting propaganda. Like starving someone and saying "while we are denying you your food, its the trans women in sports who are your real enemy". After 3 weeks of this, you smash the door to get to the food.
Could they be any more out of touch? I guess that’s what makes him an awesome commerce secretary - he’s in touch with the consumers..,,Only the best people

Ever heard of "It's Better to Say Nothing............ "Asshole, many that miss a check would be homeless. Even Communist countries know you don't stop sending the check. How the Hell do you sell Tesla stock, but not know what to say about a missed check? Buy some Common sense. Bitch!
Easy for an oligarch like Lugnutz to his family as an example, he’s a total moron.
His mother-in-law should be ashamed that her daughter married such a cruel fascist clown!🤡
Obscene wealth. Entitled comments. Stealing from the commoners. It’s almost like 18th-century French aristocrats have been reincarnated in 21st-century America for a do-over.
Payment from you and from the employer for you. So it's earned. Most people, that is all they have. Rich will only pay into 1 or 2 months a year. They don't need it. Like the guy said, his mother would not even notice. So if they abolished it and would steal every cent, it would be nothing to them.
Im overseas and although i watch more USA politics while also supporting a govt here who are nearly up to their next election But the media in Aust is so RW focused i ignore it.
They're going to make up some reason that losing social security is good. Mark my words. Conservatives are foaming at the mouth to be mob lackeys, so long as the mob boss is a white man.
Really one of the most idiotic comments a public official has ever made. His MIL may not need social security, but many people depend on it and live check to check. Missing a check means you're poor, not a fraud. Shame.
This statement is another one for the pile of evidence that suggests that billionaires like Lutnick are ridiculously removed from the experience of poor and working class people and that he is devoid of human empathy which should be a DfuckinQ.
Nutlink says his mother-in-law wouldn't miss a social security cheque if it didn't arrive. We would think not given she has a billionaire son-in-law to fall back on. #Taxtherich

Howard, your mother-in-law wouldn't call and complain because the demented felon President and your party, the Party of Putin, ended Social Security phone support and you're worth $2 billion.
OG MAGA, have you figured out you've been discarded yet?
Lutnik (and maybe therefore, his grandmother? though I have no way of knowing) is a billionaire. Wtf does he know about living on $1000/ a month??? I would wager they’re trying to foment fear so that we *don’t* complain. Being beholden to SS monthly income myself, it is terrifying.
It’s hard to stomach the arrogance and ignorance of Lutnick. How dare he accuse the retirees of this country that count on Social Security of fraud. I seriously believe the Trump Administration is waking a sleeping giant. The crowds are getting bigger every day. 🇺🇸
Exactly, those Districts if they stay red knowing all that know,
There really is no hope for the USA and its formerly beautiful checks and balances,
FL will never see this tourist again or a drop of their OJ in his Fridge.
I doubt his 94 yo MIL actually depends on her SS for her existence unlike a lot of others like me. BTW I have worked for government agencies and have had to get FBI clearance. I need my SS because of injuries. See my profile. I am not a fraudster. He is a disgusting person.
Well, now that there are threats by the head of SS to shut it all down, maybe none of us WILL get our checks in April. Maybe the third time is the charm as I keep posting this petition and trying to remain hopeful that someone will lock.him.UP. https://act.moveon.org/survey/impeach
What do we have to do to have the DEM party meet this moment they are not up to it. This is so simple and has the most impact on every single citizen. No just keep talking about the most sliver of a fringe minority.
What an asshole. Boy I would love them all to live in a concentration camp and die a slow death! My question is why has no one poisoned these assholes. I would if I could get away with it!
This burns me to my core. That inhuman pos with his pretty suit and expensive leather shoes smug know it all - he probably throws his dinner on the floor if a poor person walked by it. He’s garbage. I can’t even see straight.
I hate what I’m about to say but I almost wish April checks would get held up somehow. This would cause a lot of harm to 70,000,000 people - INCLUDING MYSELF - but I think a lot of people need to “find out” the hard way before they wake up and see they’ve been duped!
All those people just one SS cheque away from broke- Lutnick says it’s because you are committing fraud. He also says if you complain, you definitely must be committing fraud. Tens of millions of you…
It’s a set up. He says it’s an indication of fraud if you call, but if you don’t call, they will also say 1. You aren’t real, or you’d call or
2. You must not need the money.
They always set it up as a lose-lose for the public.
By that logic, suppose you have a medical problem or an accident or a fire and the insurance isn't paying, if you call to complain it means that you are a fraudster. This makes no sense whatsoever.
Allison Lutnick is his spouse. Formerly Lambert.
Mom - Geri Lambert.
Appears Howard's DIL has passed.
A lot of information is buried about Allison, kind of curious about that... She was appointed as a trustee at the Kennedy Center in February of course.
Also the Acting Head of the SSA wants to shut the agency down, to kill it and its recipients because the Courts won't let Musk and his "DOGE" Saboteurs in to hack their software to send the money to Musk & his Billionaire Boys Club.
As a Floridian I can tell you neither Dem candidate will win those seats. Best to concentrate on 2026 mid terms. Those areas are chock full of ignorant , misinformed, brainwashed ding a lings.
It's the only big elections happening in some time, also if it gets even a little bit close, that'll worry GOPsters more than Trump tanking the economy..
Right now is the best time, in the history of ever, to figyre out how to talk to exactly this observable reality deficient demographic.
If they played him saying missing a social security check isn’t a big deal on a loop , they might have a chance
People need to stop giving up and fight
They do not, they will not be placing that in any type of loop, they will wear matching shirts and socks to express their discontent with the government not acknowledging their stern letter
I follow very closely on what people say, and he is MIRRORING ELON who said these exact words when he was in the Oval Office with his kid swinging off his neck. The exact words. So Lutnik is a Sputnik LIAR. And is going to his Elon cheat sheet.
Easy win on this one. GOP will steal your money, Dem won't. GOP will actually let you starve, the Dems won't. Proof in Lutnick's words. Just play those. That's your ONLY focus. One focus. No distractions. "Do you want your $?" "Um, yes" "Then vote Dem".
In Florida, it's never just about effective messaging.
If there weren't rampant electoral fraud here, we'd likely have had at least ONE Dem governor in the last 26 years-- because until the recent influx of MAGAts, FL was PURPLE.
We have not. DeSantis "won" his first election by 4/10ths of 1%.
I sadly agree. 11 years ago, this state felt more purple, even if we were in the deep red Panhandle. People didn’t shove their ideologies in our faces.
Dems we know moved away because of how the laws (and police) targeted their families. Those of us that can’t move are stuck trying to keep going.
Volunteering at a local food bank I can attest that many recipients of social security would be devastated by one check being missed. 🤬 Trumps first term many seniors on social security got their food stamps reduced to $18 a month. It was heartbreaking doing intakes 😢
Yes because not getting a check you are owed because u directly contributed to it via every paycheck u received while working is definitely FRAUD smdh. These people don’t even understand how these social programs are partially funded by the people who depend on the checks!!
Maybe dick head doesn't under stand that's a house payment or rent is he going to tell the banks and land lords to forgive a month payment I bet not and how much is the late fees now?
Lutnick is worth a couple of billion dollars! His mother shouldn't even NEED Social Security, but by God if she earned it during her 94 years, she's entitled to her check and her "loving" son should do what's necessary to ensure she gets her checks uninterrupted by the Trump/Musk regime!
No,which is why I reached my limit and marched down to the the county clerks office and change my voter registration to no party preference. First Prezzie I was old enough to vote for was Carter.
I'll always vote for the candidate on the left who has the best chance of winning, but after cycles and cycles of giving money to the Democratic Party, I am no longer registered as one.
Yeah I’m one of those disabled people in Florida, an amputee in a wheelchair, and I’m telling ya, Florida magas don’t read, don’t listen, they don’t even THINK. I’ll mean homelessness for me, my income is 1,060, rent alone is 760, utility’s kill the rest. I’m fucked!!
Yeah his mother in law was married to a very rich man, she wouldn’t complain because she doesn’t need the money!! These billionaires are so out of touch with reality!
The plan is to brainwash you into denying this ever happened. And they believe it will work. They are ramrodding your account and will force you to like it. They also believe this will work 100% and NOBODY will do anything to get their money. They'll just lie down and give it to the superior humans.
She wouldn’t complain because at 94 years old she’s probably not managing her expenses. Lutnick or his wife is probably getting her SS check deposited into their account which makes them the fraudsters.
Trump: twice impeached, convicted felon, and found liable for sexual assault. His power comes from spineless, self-serving Republican enablers. Next election, choose leaders who work for the people. #VoteWisely
I think this is more about prepping people. Kind of like when T said if he doesn't win it means election fraud. They are prepping people to not listen to the loud complaints by preemptively labelling them as fraudsters.
What a strategy. Cut off people's Social Security, then scoop up all of their homes when the bank tosses them out because they can't afford to pay their monthly mortgage. Resell the houses to all those nice FAMILIES they keep talking about in Project 2025.
He's a billionaire, is what I've read. Assuming that's true, if his mother-in-law doesn't get her SocSec check.
"Howard, the check is late again. Could I borrow a couple of Gs, like last time?"
But if I don't get my earned check (50 years of contributions) then the landlord can't collect my rent.
He’s the f’ing CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald! And yeah he’s a billionaire ! So I don’t think his mother in law actually needs her check. Talk about fraud! 😡
I think maybe we are going about this wrong. These are supposed businessmen, this is simple contract law. We made a contract with the federal government that we would pay a certain percentage of our paychecks to the government to help with government funding during our working years. In return...
... when we retire, they will return that money in monthly installments until we pass away. There was an offer and consideration. If they take it away, this is breach of contract and carries some pretty hefty fines.
The government is known for not honoring their end of the contract. See what they're doing with social security already, as they have borrowed against it to insolvency. Or what they've done to the Native Americans.
I vehemently disagree with lutnick and I have an example. My dad had a small in an oil well when he passed away. They paid my and my brother and sister a small amount over the years, usually 2 or 3 dollars a quarter. They recently decided to liquidate that well, and as such need to buy off...
... our lease. They sent us all a paper to sign to say we were interested, which would activate another paper to actually sign off on the sale. My sister got her paperwork a month and a half ago, I still have not got my paperwork. I call them everyday to see if they figured out why I haven't...
I'll guarantee you if a rich man's dividend check doesn't arrive the will be hell to pay, but I'm not suppose to get upset when the money owed me on the money I paid in over the years doesn't show up.
Get real.
Yeah i wasn't sure either if it was just a stupid Michigan maga thing or national. The ones I've seen seem geared to local issues and people. It's weird.
