1. Quit asking why. Why is because he's a sociopath, there's no logic. There's no "savings"

[yaesu]

2. Yeah, we need more than words, let's see some fucking action for a change. nt

[ZRB]

12. Like?

What action specifically?

[Lulu KC]

14. There will be action

And he asks for action on our part. We need to communicate with our elected Republicans and say, "Hands off Social Security." That's how it works, I believe.

3. because he wants Americans traumatized

[bdamomma]

10. I would

like to do some "shock and awe" on them.

4. Why? So G.O.P. can give tax cuts to the rich

[peacefreak2.0]

5. We know why.

The question is what are they going to do about it.

6. Musk needs every last cent to go to Mars.

Plus money is his god.
Trump has dementia. Musk is a drug addict and with almost no sleep the equivalent of dementia. So we're in Alice in Wonderland.

7. Because Trump and Musk love money and cruelty.

Try to keep up with facts Chuck.

8. Hahahahahahahaha

Schumer going scorched earth.

The two don't jive man.

[hatrack]

9. Because The Littlest President lost in 2020, and this is his revenge . . .

That's why, Chuck. It's not complicated.

11. That was really weak!

We need a stronger speaker. The time of quiet anger is long past. (passed?)
The Democratic party needs spokepeople that breath fire.

I'm sorry, but that was not inspiring.

13. I'm seeing criticism of Schumer's style, age, etc. but can we look at content?

He used a standard rhetorical format of "Why?" and then answered the question exactly on target.

He reminded us that we were in a similar situation in 2005 with GWB, when the Democrats went to battle for Social Security and won.

He asks those of us who are recipients (and I would extend that to children and parents of recipients e.g. my disabled son) to write to their Republican senators and representatives with one message: Hands off my Social Security.

I can do that, and I appreciate seeing this post.

15. Schumer is supposedly the smartest person in the room, perfect score on his SAT test when he applied to college.

If he doesn't know the answer to the question we're in trouble.
