Why not just drive up to the HQs of Social Security with shotguns and automatic weapons, get into the computer system and transfer the money straight into their hedge and private investment funds.
IT'S clear what Lutnick, Trump and all these other money-sucking vampires are doing; it’s exactly what they've done their whole crooked, soul-less lives to other organizations and companies— Cease regular payments, stop honoring signed agreements with subcontractors, close offices, shut down Customer Service and lay off half the employees. THEN- issue a press release: "This place( fill in the blank/Social Security, USAID, Veteran’s Administration...) is obviously falling apart! You better let our Hedge Fund and Investment Partners take over… Don’t worry, though; after subtracting 20 percent of your monthly check for management fees, your taxable checks will probably go out on time (just as soon as we finally finish privatizing the US Postal Service).
The behavior—the very existence—of men like Lutnick and his billionaire accomplices is a stain on humanity. For various reasons, people like this have a psychopathic need to take what rightfully belongs to everybody else. They have contempt for common people; in their twisted minds there are only winners and losers. Guess which one you are?
Back a ways, I knew a guy who spent most of his life as a high-level fence (receiver and seller of stolen property). He routinely referred to regular citizens as “victims.” That’s how Trump and Lutnick and all their thieving kind (the men now running/ruining our government) see the rest of us—nothing but a bunch of helpless victims.
Imagine a huge country that’s run by one man and several of his rich friends. He commutes between several palaces (with gold bathroom fixtures) and has set about banishing anyone who even hints that he might be wrong about anything. Despite all this, it’s increasingly clear to everyone that he’s becoming increasingly disturbed; he thinks of himself as an absolute monarch and appoints members of his chosen “nobility”—despite their obvious lack of even minimal competence or base-line morality—to positions of power and authority.
The law is whatever this man and his courtiers say it is.
He doesn’t believe—doesn’t even seem to understand—that anyone aside from him and his chosen circle should have any rights at all. The concept of fair courts and judges who are ultimately responsible to the people is beyond his comprehension. He routinely resorts to blunt threats and force whenever anyone opposes him or shows him even the slightest sign of disrespect.
This is what our country had to contend with in 1776, and, after 250 years of history, we seem to have arrived back at the same place. The question is: What happens next?
It's all part of Trump, Musk & Project 2025 their evil plan. Create attrition by reducing access so claims are reduced, and when less people are employed at Social Security - and virtually no one is looking, they can easily raid social security trust fund for themselves!
Even though I predicted in 2016, when Trump came down that escalator, that if he was elected President, chaos would ensue. I didn't believe that he would really be successful, and I certainly didn't think he would pull it off twice. Now, I fear for your democracy. As a country, you have descended so far down the rabbit hole, that the only way out is to be like Alice and wake up. You have to stand up to the demented characters that are trying to make you think that what you are seeing and hearing are illusions. The white rabbit that you thought was Trump is really the mad hatter.
Hi Martha, great question. Here's my suggestion. Every school, church, community centre and library should ask for volunteers who will help seniors to navigate the website so they can claim their benefits. If there are any problems, seniors who can't drive could be given lifts by volunteers. to the nearest office.Good people only should apply, not anyone who might steal their identities. And remember to call your representatives to tell them why this is wrong.
Yes, Emma. I have been saying that younger people should help vulnerable seniors through this mess: if they do, they will have our eternal gratitude and they will have done a noble act of service.
That whole we need the 2nd ammendment to fight tyranny comes to mind .which reminds me for 40 years i have heard the NRA peeach about needing firearms to fight against tyrannical government. Now all I hear is crickets .this won't end till these bastards wind up strung up
It’s not that I doubt what you’re saying, but for those I have to convince, some links to data showing examples of it would strengthen the argument. For example, where is a list of some of the SSA regional office closing? Where is that documented? For those of us who have “talk the talk” as we “walk the walk” that would be helpful.
What agent orange and the ketamine klansman and doing to those of us who depend on social security is reprehensible. Let’s do an experiment. Take all the billionaires money and put it into an account for which they have no access. Tell them they will receive monthly payments of $1500 which will be sent them on the first Wednesday of each month. Or maybe the third Wednesday. Or maybe a month is missed because the workforce has been drastically reduced. How do you think they will react when they realize they can’t even afford a dozen eggs. Will that wake them up to the hardships of those of us relying on SS to eat, pay medical bills, buy prescription drugs…
Apparently most Trump voters don't know that Trump & Musk are destroying social security (and other social programs). How to break into the GOP alternative reality as the facts are blatantly obvious to everyone outside the bubble? Town halls are a good start, but broader coverage is needed: Billboards? Leaflets? Door-to-door?
Theft is a fucking understatement!

Just when I thought, for a nanosecond, that my heart couldn’t be broken any further…

So, what can any one of us do to stop this assault right now, not next year?
The right to bear arms springs to mind....

It is all over the news and easy to google. This article has a state by state breakdown.

This is cruel, nasty low class bullshite. I absolutely hate this administration.
For perspective, doge plans to close 47 out of 1232 SS field offices. That’s less than half of 1%.
