While Musk goes after your social security benefits, there's plenty of pork to go around for the military - the biggest source waste and expenditure of the entire federal budget.

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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
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!

What's that I hear? A lie from the orange utan?
I am shocked. SHOCKED I TELL YOU!
Orange you tan? Haha
The fact that they are messing with Social Security, and floating ideas for cutting, suspending, etc. is proof that they are no longer worried about elections.
They are either going to rig elections so HitlerPig gets 98%+ of the vote, or end elections all together.
The moment they a) end Social Security payments, and/or b) end elections, its time to revolt in every way possible. Stop paying Federal taxes, shift to Robin Hood Economics (Rob from the rich, give to the poor), sabotage, vandalize, quiet quit, slow walk, malicious compliance, graffiti, rabble rouse, etc.
Probably, Trump would probably not care if he intends that this is his last run. Or possibly thinking that people will be fooled and forget about this in 3 years
The leopards hunger.
Reap what you voted for, people.
