@burnoutqueen@donkeyblam@PhoenixSerenity In the SSDI world, most recipients are supported by spouses or family. To be precise the whole system is bad and insulting. The payments depend on the entire income, and you have to defend your existence to SSDI every fucking month. If you do not they will cut the check amount. Because they can. It's humiliating. "oh, you made $ 5.00 more so we're gonna cut his check by $ 100." Fuck them.
Once this bullshit all dies down (pray god we get to the election without a donor coup d'etat) we should all look at the people who started this fight-the Democrats who played into it & continued it. Perhaps it's about time we destroyed Citizens United and made the donor class a thing of the past. The 1% has too much power to corrupt our elections and they're doing better than the Russians for destroying it from within.
@GottaLaff THIS is why all the 1% is so upset with Biden and are trashing him: he's giving the IRS more money and power to go after the bums who don't pay their taxes! Do it!
@RickiTarr For anyone who is disabled, we're treated like invisible beings who do not deserve to exist. Being deaf is an invisible disability thus I don't have the overt discrimination others do, but that's because I don't call attention to it. That's why so many of us being disabled is something we must hide to be accepted as actual human beings, not flawed or damaged lives. Yes, it is humiliating to be like this but people don't want to accept us as we are, we have to do it for them.
Did anyone really believe for a second the country that had the French revolution to rid itself of the monarchy and the aristocracy was going to allow a bunch of thugs to take away their rights? The French know their history, and ain't gonna let anyone take their freedom!
"Oh, it's gonna cost US money! We don't want to spend it! You have to spend it!" Chase sucks hard. Never bank with a bank that would rather keep your money than spend theirs. https://www.thedailybeast.com/chase-bank-warns-it-will-end-free-checking-accounts "Marianne Lake, who runs Chase Bank, predicts significant cost increases in everyday banking for Americans. She argues that new rules to limit overdraft and late fees will force the bank to charge for free services like checking accounts and wealth-management tools."
For all those whining that Joe Biden should step out of the race, are they prepared for the disaster that Donald Trump will bring back? There is no other Democratic candidate that can or will be able to mount a challenge this close to the nomination. I think people are reacting hysterically to this whole debate not thinking of a demented empowered criminal would do to the US. We'd go down the road to perdition called 'Totalitarianism" all the way because his friends will be working to do so.
What is going on? Between the NY Times, WaPO, Daily Beast and others, they're all gunning for Joe Biden-they're actively targeting the man, and giving him no options. What the fuck is wrong with you people? DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHAT TRUMP DID THE FIRST TIME? HE'S PLANNING A REICH! HE'S PLANNING A DICTATORSHIP, YOU GODDAMN MORONS! STOP DOING THIS!
If anyone wants to question what Trump and his friend/supporters intend to do, read the "Project 2025" It's comprehensive, and very frightening to think that these people intend to descontruct most of the government, defund all the programs we've gotten used to and regain control of all them for their own purposes. Trump wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to throw out the entire thing. this outlines exactly what he will do. https://www.project2025.org/policy/
@TheRealKat It will always be a disgrace and shame on our history that we did not arrest everyone involved immediately and allowed the person who instigated it to go free. and actually allow him to run for office again.
@joeo10 I have a feeling the government is about to take MS to the woodshed and if they think losing their account is bad, wait til they see what the DOJ can do to them...
@joeo10 No he does not. People keep forgetting that he lost by millions of votes in 2020, and that was before nearly a million people died from Covid-most ironically the large number of them being Republicans. I wonder if their families remember what Trump said about Covid: "It will fade away".
@jacklaridian They did not read the US State Department's advisory which has warned that Haiti is on the "DO NOT TRAVEL" list, which means that if anyone does go there, they cannot expect any help from the embassy (if they have one, which I don't think they do..very limited)
