What a Petty Little Man.

If this were a TV show, people would definitely be complaining about how one-dimensional and lacking any depth the characters are. Critics would say the writers were lazy and overused clichés.

But the absurdity is right in front of us and apparently people don’t care. Worse, I think a lot of people invited the absurdity to lunch and it is abusing our hospitality.

damn! i think Senator Whitehouse has the republican scheme against Social Security down exactly. …here’s hoping that his reveal will skew their course a bit; but they’re not known for adapting.

and here’s also hoping that there’s a step “Six:” huge crowds of pitchfork/guillotine bearing citizens bear down on the capitol and republican district offices in general until they reverse course. Social security is a bank account (of sorts) that the people pay into and now they are effectively saying: “too bad, we’re stealing your savings… bwahahah” @#$!!!

Sounds about right, except the last bit about checks. Weren’t they planning to force everyone to use crypto?

Don’t judges in these cases have the option of dragging those responsible to court and holding them in contempt? (And if they do, they need to note that fines are meaningless and jail time is the only thing that will get the message across.)
