Those that have profited from the nice increase in the real estate market, the stock markets, etc. over the years, move over. A lot of our seniors have been left behind, not having any such appreciable assets to ride the wave of prosperity too (a little bit).

It is time that those who haven't benefited from having any such appreciable assets to rely on while everything else has increased in value (and cost), get something in return, after all, a lot of these folks currently on SS did work and contribute to the increased values in real estate and / or the stock markets.

Now all that is left to do, is to increase long-term viability of the of SS.

Did get into the 401k when I did get a job at a telecom, but lost most of it. Most of us aspies are not good financial people.
This will help me a lot next year (fingers crossed). I don't know how people make it on less SS than what I get.

-- Trump drops dead of heart attack on Mar-A-Lago golf course. Secret Service detail and members of Trump's foursome break into happy dance.

-- Turtleface McConnell caught with dead girl or live boy.

Garland should have also done a search of all Trump properties, and all Trump's kid's properties at the same time as Mar a lago.

Why wouldn't he have done that?????????????? It is much too late now............

we are now only a precious few weeks away from the election, makes one wonder what Garland is up to.......

Trump and the Republicans made it through the Mueller investigation.............

Trump and the Republicans made it through the Manhattan DA's investigation..................

Will Trump and the Republicans make it through the Garland Investigation????????????????????

I am sure that I am not the only person who has a bad taste in their mouth...........

43. I don't think a blanket search warrant for all Trump properties could have been obtained.
Fri Oct 14, 2022, 07:33 AM
Oct 2022

As I understand it, a search warrant can only be obtained by showing a judge clear and convincing evidence that a crime has been committed and the proof of it is probably at the location in question. The FBI was able to produce such evidence of the contraband held at Mar-A-Lago, and so the judge issued the warrant.

It may well be that more stolen documents are squirreled away at other Trump properties. However, the FBI didn't have clear and convincing evidence of that to show to judges, and so no search warrants were sought for those properties.

Could DU'ers with legal expertise please chime in and let me know if this assessment is correct? Thanks.
