We pay into that!! musk can, how did he put it? Fuck himself in the face?

Trump's exact quote: "“If you take all of those millions of people off Social Security, all of a sudden we have a very powerful Social Security" His claims about fraud are BS and he knows it. Expect Trump to propose privatizing SS like Bush tried. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/tens-millions-dead-people-social-security-checks-despite-118947124

Let’s start with Trump. You know he’s claiming those sweet SS dollars.

What could possibly go wrong?

Millions of dead people weren’t voting, either.

The problem this time around is that there is no responsible Congress challenging his illegal Executive Orders.

No guardrails, as they say. We knew this would be the case

He’s an idiot

Destroy him.

Not enough people believe it will happen until it does. It's a cult.

stephjmom.bsky.social•3 days ago

Correct

gbaker1.bsky.social•3 days ago

And when it does happen they'll believe it was someone else's fault

I just want to cry.

gbaker1.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's their goal. We're not going to take this much longer

FAFO

Many people who voted for Trump will be removed from social security.
Maybe once they are cut off from social security they might finally see and understand the dangers of voting for Trump.

F**k Around and Find Out.

I just printed out my social security statement and other documents in case they take down the site. Then, I put a freeze on all three credit reporting free accounts.

How dare they mess with the money we earned!

I just don’t believe there’s any way that at least half of Americans can save enough money for their retirement without Social Security. So many people don’t have retirement plans, and the days of staying with the company for decades are gone.

It’s not like anyone is getting rich off social security. I don’t even make $1400 a month, and that’s a lot more than a lot of other people.

thisisme7.bsky.social•3 days ago

How the hell does he do that? How about the super wealthy not take any Social Security? I know if I were super wealthy I wouldn’t take it. I wouldn’t need it, and I would want people who needed it to have it. But that’s just me.

This was the social security fund balance while Biden was still president. If Trump steals SS it will be death.

timethridge2.bsky.social•3 days ago

Biden’s fault?

1/ Brian Fitzpatrick, my #PA01 MOC, hasn’t issued a statement about trump’s truth supporting Putin. I called his office & was told no one is touching my SA/Medicare. I asked him to put it in writing. He said it wouldn’t be touched but I can’t believe Repubs words.

When I started in in musk,

marycateismary.bsky.social•3 days ago

2/ he said u thought ur party likes immigrants. When I asked about dem MOCs being denied entry to govt bldgs by “special Elon guards”, he asked me for proof.

I’m now rage cleaning!!

Wow. That is terrible. Let's write a strongly worded letter.

kaboosemoose.bsky.social•3 days ago

These days, if you write “SS”, it can be interpreted in multiple ways.

michblues.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, I agree. This has been on the GOP list for years. The thing is the funds are made up of our individual accounts that we have deposited while we work. This is not a handout; it is our "forced" savings account. It is a good system.

sirpres.bsky.social•3 days ago

Democrats are complicit. They're not going to save us (or anybody).

dmn1.bsky.social•3 days ago

They have been for years. Illegal working immigrants pay in but never collect. Without them SS will lose millions. Again, another way to defund & end SS.
