I see that you are hurt, but lashing out at everyone is not helping. We probably agree on everything except blaming misinformed voters for their actions. We can agree to disagree here.

I think you are missing what I am saying. These people don’t believe Trump has ever lied. I am serious about Fox News which is the most popular news station in America. For every lie they have an excuse and their own spin. If all you watch is Fox, which is quite common for a lot of people, you don’t know about any of the bad stuff Trump has done.

You know better, they don’t. Blaming them for their own ignorance is a luxury you are allowed because you see the truth. The answer is not to blame them, but to educate them. Unfortunately this is almost impossible when they have constant propaganda rammed down their throats.

I think you may be blaming the victim here in your anger. This does not solve the problem however cathartic it may be. I don’t pretend to have the answers either, but my perspective is a lot more nuanced than yours.

While I do agree with your sentiment you must realize these people have been lied to. Try watching 24 hours of Fox News and see what their worldview is. Now imagine this is all the news media someone who is disabled may consume.

Your anger is justified, but it is perhaps misdirected in this scenario.

These illegal immigrants pay more in taxes than our President. They also commit less crime, provide valuable skills, and often work jobs no one else will. Not to mention they have families in the US that they are ripped from so conservatives can feel that sick satisfaction that they can oppress people because they are brown.

Wow, just wow.

You would think, but Muskrat told all the advertisers to fuck off and now they are slowly crawling back to him.

There is lots of money left, but after you used the cheat code and have unlimited money what is the point for a megalomaniac. The only way he can move forward is to make everyone poorer. This is the new plan.

I was raised with a pitbull and I have been around a lot in my life. I will have to respectfully disagree with you. They are inherently unpredictable. I know of at least twelve people with facial scars from pitbulls. You really cannot compare them with any other breed.

Having said that our pitbull was an amazing dog and never hurt another human or animal except for other dogs. For whatever reason our much loved family member would snap around other dogs for no definable reason regardless of being socialized with other dogs frequently.

I remember we got a litter of kittens and our pitbull took care of them like it was their own. One kitten would climb up on their head and our pitbull would hold perfectly still while the kitten slept on its head.

Be very careful with your accusations. No one wants to deal with death threats, doxxing, swatting, etc when they have a family to protect.

"Michelle King resigned after she refused to provide DOGE staffers at the Social Security Administration with access to sensitive information. "

This is the natural result of pushing back against this insanity. She would have been fired and indeed Donald Cuck claims she was.

Thank you for this. I was just thinking about this ridiculous hypocrisy the other day. A President following through trying to help people with debt shot down at every turn.

Then a President only trying to help his shit bag elitist enablers allowed to do whatever the fuck he wants with no guardrails or consequences.

They never cared about the constitution, the rule of law, morality, or what is objectively right. They care only for naked power and want to ram their garbage down our throats till we choke and die.

Meanwhile they laugh all the way to the bank driving over the backs of every hardworking American.

Truly their depravity knows no bounds.

Nuh uh Fox News says everything is fine.

What is the next unironic quote!? Oh wait I got it, “if you want to shine like sun first you have to burn like it.”

What a great idea. They have always talked about about starving the beast, now they can actually do it.

I appreciate your interest and research in this matter. When it comes to disability this determination is done at the Federal level through social security. This is how people get disability cash payments which is what most people think of when they say they get “disability”.

While you are correct that individual states may have different means testing for SNAP, Medicaid, APA, etc. all cash benefits are mostly tied to this disability determination. Generally all states have strict income and resources limitations and in the case of TANF/SNAP also have work requirements. TANF is also limited to 60 months total in your lifetime.

All this money is usually from Federal sources although states will often be required to match funds. This is also why the rules are very similar since they are often dictated by the Federal government.

There really is no misunderstanding as you yourself admit it happened long ago and the details are murky at best. This is what I would call family mythology and helps to inform your world view. I was just pointing out that there is some inconsistency with this view.

Everything you say is true. You can also trace this form of psychological warfare back to WWII. Propaganda got a real bad rap because of how it was used to manipulate people around the world. It was repackaged and renamed as public relations.

This should have been the tipping point of governments rejecting propaganda and protecting their citizens from its effects. Instead they decided to use the best of psychology and sociology to continue to manipulate people. This is a basic violation of human rights so egregious that any government that allows it has betrayed its own people.

It is amazing how fast their propaganda machines work. They will anticipate breaking stories and provide bullshit lines of reasoning to discredit them before they are even widely shared.

I appreciate your candor about your family members and your illustration of their hypocrisy.

My reply was just to clarify the reality of getting disability and public assistance. You definitely have misconceptions starting with saying your family members moved from state to state until they got their disability status approved.

Disability is approved through Social Security, there is no need or advantage to moving state to state. It is okay to have misperceptions of disability and public assistance. It is pretty normal actually.

I happen to help people navigate these systems everyday for a living. I was working with this woman today whose total income was less than $600 a month.

Public assistance does not pay anything but poverty wages. Certainly not enough to move from state to state shopping for the best food stamps and Medicaid deals. While I don’t disagree with your judgement of their character I do take issue with “smorgasborg” of government assistance.

Adult public assistance, SNAP, Temporary Assistance for needy families are all very limited. They are resource tested and income approved as well. Not to mention work requirements for any cash assistance except APA. BTW APA benefits are usually around $400-600 a month. Sounds very lucrative considering it is designed to supplement people making less that $1,200 a month in Social Security Benefits.

Anyone who has had to apply for disability knows it is a crap shoot as well. It is common for people to apply over the course of several years before being approved for an amount no human can live off of without subsidized housing. That is if they can even find subsidized housing.

It is not discrimination if we deny all holocausts equally.

I was calculating about $100 billion conservatively to relocate 2 million people. The long term cost could be over a trillion. I wonder why everyone is balking at the idea of taking them in.
