    What’s hilarious is that the people who vote for these assholes who want to end Social Security and steal all the money, are the people who will need it the most.

    Wait, let’s hear them out. Can you imagine the good that all that social security money could do if they didn’t have to give it to the people who paid in? Billionaires could have a second yacht, which means jobs such as driving the boat, cleaning it, etc. A second summer vacation house, they work so hard they deserve it

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    It is obvious that the rush to confirm her in time to hear the Republican effort to strike down the Affordable Care Act poses a threat to everyone with preexisting conditions.

    “[O]ne of the most consequential results of Republicans’ theft of a Supreme Court seat could be to seriously undermine — or even declare unconstitutional — one or more of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.”

    Former Trump Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney even voted, when serving in the South Carolina General Assembly, in favor of an amendment, which declared Social Security unconstitutional.

    Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) have been systematically stacking the courts with young, extremist judges and justices for the last four years.

    At the start of President Franklin Roosevelt’s first term, the Supreme Court, led by four conservative justices colloquially known as the “Four Horsemen of Reaction,” systematically struck down New Deal laws.

    Indeed, given the possibility that a Supreme Court with a newly confirmed Justice Barrett doesn’t overturn the results of a free and fair election, you must do all you can to ensure that Trump, McConnell, and other opponents of Social Security, who have announced their plan to cut “entitlements,” are defeated in a landslide.
