He was just reading letter after letter after letter from American seniors who are scared about what the administration might do to Social Security. Really helps bring home that these are real people who are affected.
Edit: 15 hours now and he's still going strong. He just gave a fiery speech about how his colleagues need to do more.
You wouldn't do shit and you know it. But I tell you what, if you want to play Rambo, fly on over and give it a go.
Oh, right. It's "not your fight."
Open bribery for votes. In a society based on the rule of law, officers would be on hand at the rally to arrest him the moment he attempted to hand over the money. But of course they weren't, because only the plebeians are held accountable for their actions.
Wisconsinites, you should demand accountability.
The framing is really gross as well. Facing a future without Social Security? Try saving for retirement with Moneywise...
They just don't say the company directly in the calls to action because it's likely intended mainly to boost their search engine rankings. Hence the number of links...
Moneywise. There are like 5 or 6 links to it in the text, starting from halfway down the "article," and it starts to get really blatant when it starts talking directly to you, the reader. I wouldn't be surprised if the entire thing was written by AI.
This is an ad.
Destroying a car hurts a company's bottom line. The other stuff you suggested hurts workers and regular people.
It would take a 5-10 year depression for enough of them to reach the point that it would make a meaningful difference. Seriously.
Look at how it went last time. FDR and then his vice president created a 20-year presidential legacy following Hoover's complete mismanagement of the Great Depression. After that came the 5-star general who defeated Hitler (who ran as a Republican in order to block an isolationist candidate farther on the right), then back to Democrats for another eight years—until giving black people equal rights was a bridge too far for Southern Democrats.
Basically, Trump would need to destroy this country economically, and have that ruination take hold for many years, before real charge can happen.
He still lives in the 1970s. Ford, Chevy, Cadillac, GMC, Buick... they're some of the least American cars on the road.
I agree, but FWIW those crumbling roads are entirely due to state governments. There's a reason Oklahoma's roads are so terrible. You literally feel the difference in governmental priorities at the state line.
States elect the president; they put him on the ballot. If he tries to do something unconstitutional, he won't be on the ballot in many states. And the Democrats may control the House. The Senate (or all of Congress) can try to discount returns from those states, but at that point we're looking at a Supreme Court case, and everyone involved will know that if that's ruled poorly, there's a good chance it'll result in the dissolution of the republic, and war.
In other words, it's very unlikely. But a lot can happen in four years.
Don't be a soft target. Buy a gun. Learn how to use it.
Get outta here with that negativity. It's the first sign of life from Senate Democrats, and taking a moral stance against Trump is still important. We need more of this, not less.
