Great, if you can’t stand the heat get run out of the kitchen .

You mean, you have other things to do that are more important than argue with some anonymous person on the internet?

Yep! Today is my day off after working all through last week. Have more important things to do than argue with you. This recent bit was because I was waking up.

As I said, have a great day!

You are here arguing as well. I am retired. I can spend my time correcting error what are you doing.

. This is a great example of the close mindedness at work on this thread. You don’t have time to watch. You don’t know who is speaking in the video. You don’t know the qualifications of the person speaking. You don’t know anything that was said. You don’t know any of the evidence presented in the suit that was discussed in detail. In fact you know NOTHING about the video yet you can beat your chest while shouting there is no evidence and have the gall to proclaim it is all propaganda. You are complicit in the problems this nation is currently experiencing. Shame on your indifference to what is happening here.
Close minded? The only ones who are close minded are the Trump supporters who point to unsubstantiated claims and accept them as evidence. If evidence is out there, why has almost every Trump case been dismissed for lack of evidence? Why have Trump lawyers told judges that they had no evidence of voter fraud? No, I don’t have time to watch your one hour 40 minute video. I asked you for a summary, you refused to provide it. Why don’t we just wait until the courts decide these cases?

You're not collecting Socialist Security or participating in Socialist Medicare are you?

Maybe socialism perfectly fine when YOU do it?

Your arguments defending socialism are weak and tiring . The socialism as promoted by today’s liberals ( yes some Republicans fit that mold) seek to destroy the fabric of this country and the constitution. FYI I paid into these programs for 40 years now your liberal buddies want to give those same benefits to illegals that have paid little or nothing. Your smarter than this ignorant post.

That's what I thought.

Ignoring the facts is your game. If you pay into a retirement plan then benefit from it are you receiving a socialist hand out? Since you are so clueless as to what liberals want to do to this country you can’t even have a rational conversation.

Let’s talk rational facts then, shall we?
Rational Facts are, My 401k is my private retirement plan, and belongs to me. I invest in my own account, and I will draw out of my own account. Nobody elses money goes into that account. It's a private investment i have made and continue to make for my own retirement, It is not Socialism.

Rational Facts also are, Social security is not a retirement plan, it is a Socialist insurance policy. Everyone chips into the pot, and everyone draws from the same pot, hence, Socialism. The money you put in for 40 years went to pay someone else's benefits, the money you are collecting now is likewise being funded by OTHER PEOPLE, not you.

And you are clearly quite happy to enjoy the benefits of that socialism, but for some reason get your knickers in a twist at the mere thought of "other people" benefiting from the same socialism.

Hence, Socialism is perfectly fine with you as long as YOU are doing it.
Its just the thought of OTHER PEOPLE doing it that burns your biscuit.

Reminds me of the clueless conservative protesters pictured above carrying signs that say “Keep government out of my Medicare”

The hard thing to accept ... is that God supports choice.

I voted anti-abortion through the Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, and Bush 2 presidencies. And I voted for McCain.

Throughout that almost 30 year period, ... there were umpteen opportunities for God to overturn Roe v. Wade. But it never happened, no matter who was president, ... or who was on the Supreme Court.

I finally concluded that God didn't wish to disallow choice.
30 years?
Moslems have killing Christians in what were formerly Christian lands for centuries, so by the same logic you would conclude that God supports Islam? For over 70 years from 1917 onwards, Communists were murdering Christians in Russia, so during that time period you would have concluded that God supported Atheism?

The Church Fathers have a different understanding of that passage than you appear to be putting forward.

Well said. Roe was written by a Republican justice and approved by all but one of the GOP justices then on the court. Republicans have had a majority on the court for 49 of the last 50 years and on several occasions during that period also controlled the House, the Senate and the Presidency, but abortion is still legal.

Correct, and the Social Security Trust fund will run out of money by 2035, maybe sooner. I will collect some money from it, but expect that I will be relying on my 403b (education's equivalent to your 401k) and some IRA investments.

Dominion Contractor Drops a BOMBSHELL For those who seek evidence this video is 18:56 . Testimony at the Michigan senate hearing from a contractor hired by Dominion voting systems. She witnessed fraud on a massive level. That is your readers digest version . Yes I watched it (twice). Anyone who doesn’t have time or care to watch it you shouldn’t have time to comment on it either.

I have a 403b. My employer and I both pay in and the money is invested in various funds that I have selected. I know exactly how much is in my account. I cannot collect any more than that amount.

The first person to collect Social Security paid in a total of 24.74. During her lifetime, she collected a total of $22,888.92 in Social Security benefits. That is a socialism.

Yep, my ex-wife collects disability checks from the government. She only worked about 15 years total, the last five being part time two days a week. What she put into the pot ran out long ago. Now, she using what others have put in. She is also receives foodstamps and is on Medicare.
