Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Go ahead. Fuck with people's money, or expectations of money. See how far that gets you. Culture wars are one thing, and don't affect everyone, but cold hard cash is very real to most people. I fucking dare them.
We’re starving and CEOs are back on the menu.

Fine. But pay me back what I paid into it the past 30 years along with its gains.
Thats our money. We paid into it. They are stealing from us.
This is the correct take away. They’re using it to fund further tax cuts to the wealthy.
I wonder if we can sue them for taking this from us. I mean, I been paying into that for twelve fucken years. A lot of others have put a lot more in.
Two wealthy billionaire immigrants hired to pilfer American livelihood because the Government borrowed and bet from our Social Security— and lost the money. Now they see no other way out of insolvency.
Certainly Elon and Vivek aren’t going to start paying their fair share of taxes, so it’s steal from the poor and give to the rich.

I wonder if Trump is going to pay back the $1.3 trillion that W "borrowed" from the fund?
Wait, is he using his kid as a human shield now? Not one time has he been holding a child now suddenly it's part of his wardrobe. Lmfao.
Yeah, he's a real piece of shit
Oh, I'm trying to find the video of the cartoon where the bad guy is using a hostage as a shield and he's perfectly moving them around to track the good guys gun. Was it Venture Brothers?

To all old voters who wanted Trump: HA!! HA!! HA!!
Enjoy your sentencing from this clown.
It won’t hit the elderly, they’ll cut based on current age. It’s anyone under 40 that’ll be fucked.

Time to start stocking up on riot supplies.
Like anyone will even care about what’s happening to them?
Just look at recent surveys, where economic sentiment is basically political opinion now, not how people are actually fairing: https://www.axios.com/2024/12/06/trump-economy-democrats-republicans-inflation
The metric was not like that before.
But we are in an era where influencers, feeds and whims trump reality and fact. I thought COVID-19 proved that, but it’s pretty much irrefutable now, and people (on average) are going to care less about what’s physically taken away than how some angry influencer makes them feel about it.
Maybe people will start to pay attention when their retirements are stolen from them.
