According to the SSA as reported by these people:

Let’s see if howler monkeys on the Right do anything to prevent this from happening - probably not, though.

Not for those unwilling to work SS wouldn't stop. But it's a lie to call SS a forced retirement savings as it was originally sold to the voters. It's becoming the de facto welfare program and nothing more.

Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

Social Security is a major source of income for older Americans. This Republican warfare against old people needs to stop.

Why do you believe Republicans are waging ‘warfare’ against old people when old people tend to vote conservative? It’s an interesting conundrum.

Even Ted Cruz has no intention of ending social security. The only Republican to propose sunsetting socialist security was Rick Scott. In my view social security is unconstitutional and should be criminal. It's essentially theft of the working man's wages by the government in collusion with those who refuse to work yet for some stupid reason they're still permitted to vote on how to spend money they didn't work for. But that's not a mainstream Republican view nor even the view of Donald Trump as Biden tried to say in his state of crisis address.

And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

That’s a lie. Mike Lee is on video record stating he wants to get rid of SS. You’d know that had you actually read this thread.

Stay-at-home moms shouldn’t be allowed to vote?

It’s actually a far-Right premise that only landowners and heads of households should have the right to vote. I wouldn’t be surprised if Andrew Xanackson up there feels the same.

Well, OK. But that means that all of those Uber-conservative household stay-at-home moms currently raising the next generation of Giga-Chad warriors needed to fight the Evil Libtard Hordes will not be allowed to vote … which will markedly affect vote counts in favor of the Demonrats.

Sarah will not be pleased with that.

Sarah Huckabee has resting constipated face. She always looks like she's trying to squeeze one out.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

At least, for Sarah, the hyperbole and conspiracies flow much more freely.
