It's Big Mad Friday - With #blueanongE  :thumbsup:

I'd hope that you too would be mad about the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children having their funding held unless they commit to dead naming missing kids, but I guess not. I admire your commitment to the bit not allowing you to be human.

At least you shitposted though, the other trump voters on here not saying crap, are cowards.

I read this post while reminding myself that #blueanon/#blueanongE worked tirelessly to deflect away from the thousands, check that, tens of thousands of missing illegal immigrant children, that the Joe Biden administration had no idea where they were at . . . in fact, so tireless in defense, that it went as far as semantics about what actually constituted "missing".

It was very unnerving.

Not to mention a border policy by the previous administration that per our own DHS - fueled a $20 to $36 billion dollar trafficking profit center for the cartels.

Now you're going to be mad about a pause in funding, while we have numerous other agencies who should be on the case?
No other administration (in US history as far as I know) has literally threatened to lose children as a tactic to advance a political agenda.

Trump has now done it twice. First to discourage all immigration across the Mexico border (legal and illegal) via family separation, and now to undermine the existence of trans kids for some reason.

That's just bullshit.

Obama (who deported a crap ton of people BTW) . . . in order to discourage border crossing employed a tactic of "geo relocation" . . . where they took the paternal figure, and sent him back across the border at some point well away from the rest of the family.  Often times dumping the poor dude right in the middle of not so very nice people.

At least someone like cRusty can openly admit that he didn't say crap about Biden's Gaza policy, and then started making all kinds of demands now that Trump is in office.

I'll throw CAT a bone in that he doesn't know about Geo-relocation, and wants to deflect away from 10's of thousands of lost children.  It's perfectly onbrand  :thumbsup:

I disagree with that policy!  I’d think you’d want to put every name/alias on something like that though.

Just link me where anyone in the administration explained family separation as a deterrent to border crossing and I’ll believe you.

My crystal ball says the admin will float it being eliminated and Congress will pass the raise in retirement age that the gop has been grumbling about for a couple years. Then Trump will declare he was able to save social security.

My bet is that the Republicans shift Social Security to a model where it’s based on what you paid in and it fucks everybody who had low paying jobs, unless you were a homemaker in which case they will reward that as long as your husband paid in the maximum.

The amount you get from Social Security is already based on what you paid in.

Let me clarify, I bet Republicans change it so you get zero benefits if you didn’t pay in a minimum amount, but I bet they absolutely keep the thing where if your husband paid in the maximum and you were beautiful housewife then you get yours.

Not entirely. You could’ve paid in nothing and you can still get it as long as you are married or you meet certain conditions..

I am thinking they will just raise the retirement age every few years so that the people who voted for ending the program get their money and the people who voted to keep the program pay for it but end up with nothing.

To qualify for Social Security benefits, you must earn at least **40 credits**. In 2025, a single credit is earned for every **$1,810** in covered earnings, and you can earn up to **4 credits per year**. This means you need at least **$7,240 in annual covered earnings over 10 years** to accumulate the required 40 credits[3][4].

I have to disagree.  This is essentially a religious matter.  MAGA, basically by definition, cannot lose faith in Trump.  If they do, they aren't MAGA anymore.
