Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That makes me think of the two pro Trump ladies on the Channel 5 video that were complaining about social security being too low. I'm sure their reaction will be "But it won't affect me, only cheaters!"
I used to love Channel 5 and Andrew but haven't been able to bring myself to watch since any of the allegations against him came out.
Has he made any sort of indication that he has learned and changed from that experience or has it just been business as normal since he started making content again?
Yeah, he made a statement I think on Twitter or somewhere apologizing and recognizing his wrongdoing. Whether it was sincere or not, I dunno
What were the allegations?
Edit: eww, read his wiki
Not invalidating anyone's experience, I'm just curious on the details. One person's drunk harassment....
God dammit. Thanks for saving us the clicks.
Happens all the time with patients I see on disability or Medicaid. I had a patient tell me last week about how his social security disability income is tight and we "need Trump back to fix things." Yeah okay, good luck with that buddy.
The vast majority of people who vote right of center don't realize they're doing so at their own expense...
Conservatives aren't exactly known for their intelligence.
I've seen plenty of conservatives insist that investments pay back better than SS. Therefore, all retirement should be privatized and invested in the stock market.
I've never really seen why they are wro- 40% market dip OH SHIT OH FUCK OH NO!
Yeah, you're highly reliant on your personal ability to control yourself and actually invest that money without ever taking it out AND investing it right so your plan doesn't blow up in your face just at you're about to retire.
So a universal system is better.
Okay, but here me out. What if we privatized the gains and just socialized the losses?
