Totally ignored, irrelevant among his colleagues, while Obama soaks in the love. Says a lot about the state of this Administration. Done, over. He’ll be replaced after mid-terms.

Put that affirmative action piece of trash in its place.
Who the F nominated that clown to be sec. of defense? I have never seen a more incompetent and woke Sec. of Defense. He is an embarrassment to this country.
Well "most" may "understand" it but they don't seem to be putting it to practice as the majority of retirees rely very heavily on SS.
yeah but it's a bit of a myth that there's a 'retirement crisis.' when you ask people if they are satisfied with their retirement the great majority are. I think SS has a huge amount to do with that - a guaranteed income they never have to think about twice and that adjusts for inflation. Gallup asks every year if retirees have enough money to retire comfortably and the great majority of them do. I don't see why that would change, with a great stock market decade and SS going up by large amounts due to its inflation adj.
So whatever the country is doing seems to be working pretty well. SS is a giant part of that satisfaction. Sure, fix it up but the basic concept of an inter-generational contract (the younger people supporting the older people) is a good one.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The vast majority of U.S. retirees report having enough money to live comfortably; 80% say so today. At the same time, far fewer nonretirees, 53%, expect to have enough money to live comfortably when they retire. The economic fallout from the coronavirus has done little to alter these views, especially in comparison to the much more notable downturn in nonretirees' expectations during and immediately after the 2007-2009 Great Recession.
Seeing as the average 60 year old in America only has $172,000 saved I'd be curious to see how many of those retirees are living beyond their means and will be absolutely screwed if they don't die soon enough.

remember in all things Americans say the nation is in terrible shape but they themselves are 100% fine. You find that in education (schools are terrible except my kid's school!) crime (crime is terrible but I live in a safe neighborhood!), economy (the economy is terrible but I'm doing better this year than last year)!, and on and on.
Americans always think things are garbage in the country but they are doing well. it's mostly the mainstream media telling them how bad things are. Gallup's 'is the country going in the wrong direction' has been negative for generations but here we are, doing pretty well.
Will be interesting to see if Flagpole opts to collect social security. He has famously beaten the market 32 out of 33 years so he obviously won't need it but I betcha he takes it!
1) I actually don't need it, but it's all part of what I will either leave to my children or give to causes or people I choose, so of course I'm going to take it.
2) You're jealous. That's a bad emotion, brother. Stop with your jealousy.
here's another 'not extreme' American, like our Adult.
Marge Greene tonight: “The Democrats are the party of pedophiles .. the party of princess predators from Disney .. the party of teachers .. trying to transition their elementary school age children.”

remember that the GOP/Trumpist party isn't against NATO, it just wants members to fund their defense better. (sarcasm)
63 trumpists in the House voted today against a resolution supporting NATO. Because today's 'conservatives' really would prefer the 'christian' ethno-nationalist parties in Russia and Hungary to take the lead in the West over the current set of leaders.

Meanwhile, liberals are literally trying to mainstream pedophilia. The woke term is now "minor attracted persons".

Why do you lie like this? They didn't vote against "supporting NATO"
They voted against: (2) calls on the President to use the voice and vote of the United States to adopt a new Strategic Concept for NATO that is clear about its support for shared democratic values and committed to enhancing NATO’s capacity to strengthen democratic institutions within NATO member, partner, and aspirant countries.
Russia just started a war over this in Ukraine. Let's encourage Russia to invade more countries and then refuse to actually help them. YAY!

I don't understand your objection. Are you against encouraging and strengthening democracy?

I'm against what's happening in Ukraine.
This does literally nothing but put people's lives in danger.
If we're not willing to help we shouldn't be stoking the flames.
Real wages are declining and real disposable income has declined for 7 months in a row. The idea among some folks on here that voters are silly to be concerned about inflation and that Actually The Economy Is Great But The Media Won't Tell You is ridiculous. pic.twitter.com/aMfU29GWVc
