re: Social Security and Medicare need to be eliminated

I literally hate these Boomer smashing threads. We have a living trust. My 3 kids will be OK when we're gone. If we were as you all describe, we would be in Las Vegas every weekend, driving $100K trucks (mine is 2012 F150) and my wife drives a 2015. Maybe we are outliers but I suspect you all just whiney shits with your hands out.
Same here. House paid off, no notes at all. Pension, great 401K, all set up for when I retire. Rental properties that are supplementing our income. But we live in a modest house and don’t drive new vehicles. We’ve raised 5 kids.
We spend modestly and invest in our families future. My kids will be in great shape when we are gone. We enjoy the money we have budgeted for trips and hobbies, but our investments are growing and appreciating while we live off some the interest. So boomers destroying family wealth is a slap in the face to me.

Crickets!!!
And get rid of deadbeats getting disability and children’s benefits. Those kids didn’t pay in to SS. Why should they get benefits? Thats not what it was designed for. Pull that money out of welfare or some other government budget.
And foreigners shouldn’t get SS payments. This was set up for US citizens. Pull that money out of welfare too, or cut that expenditure out completely.
Your generation is in charge now, whippersnapper, so “Chop chop.” Snap to it! Y’all need to straighten this out so I can get my check! yall are in charge now, so the blame going forward lies at y’all’s feet!

Yet another typical Boomer response
Who are you sitting like God Almighty pronouncing judgements on generations? You decide who gets to keep their rightful payout and who is the group to get cutout. Then you blame Boomers for being selfish because they won’t accept your judgement and call them ungrateful for not being thankful and understanding for not getting their retirement.
frick off!

One question.
Did Bill Clinton ever speak to the press about how much of a cesspool Epstein Island was?
I wonder why Clinton wouldn’t want to address it, being neck deep in the said cesspool.

If he wins a 10 billion dollar judgement he will donate it back in some form or other.
He already donated his pay. Hes not out to break the government. He’s out to make the guilty pay though.

re: House to vote next week on requiring citizenship to vote. Any guesse on how this ends?

All the representatives and Senators are friends. The Republicans fall on their sword so their friends across the aisle can get reelected. A lot is Kabuki theater.
The Dems aren't nearly as cordial and march in lockstep when needed.

Your analogy is too simplistic. Star Wars doesn’t have nearly the plot lines that we are experiencing.

I don’t think Homan would stand around and let them can Bovino without a fight. I think they are ‘of the same mind.’
Just my take.

You are forgetting about swing state women. Suburban housewives, soccer moms, whatever you want to call them are so tuned out to the real issues and solutions. They just want everyone to be nice. It’s really pathetic.

Take off the communist filters on your glasses. Bash is a hack. She kept interrupting Bovino and stuttering. Asking the same questions even after he answers them. Bovino is cool headed and just answering questions. He’s correcting her all along the way.
And Bovino comes on Communist News Network to set the record straight. How many times has Frey or Walz come on Fox and faced any kind of oppositional media for an interview? “They can’t handle the truth!”

I posted it in the middle of the interview as a heads up if anyone wanted to watch it LIVE. I wasn’t trying to give a detailed analysis of it, or the interview would be over before I posted it.

That’s my impression as well. Always let them know if you are carrying.
I’ve always got a handgun nearby when in a vehicle. I let them know I’ve got one anytime I’m pulled over. Never had an issue with LEO by doing so.

The Ethiopian church represents less than 2% of Christian’s world wide and they are the only ones that have the book of Enoch as canon.
The other 98.5 % of Christians don’t have it in their Bible.
It’s almost the same percent as Elizabeth Warren having Indian blood. It just ain’t there.

Link?
Which church council was that?
And the Ethiopian Bible has 88 books. 22 more than the Protestant Bible. They have many books that aren’t accepted as canon. Just because Ethiopians accept it doesn't make it Christian. Google it.

Again, the Ethiopians include it in their Bible and they embraced Christianity as their state religion all the way back in the 4th century. Also, since Jude opens quoting from it, Jude expected his audience to be familiar with Enoch.
I'm sorry you're wrong on this.
Wrong in this?
It’s not a Christian book. No matter how much you want it to be. No Christian scholar (other than the Ethiopian church) considers it to be inspired scripture. It doesnt matter when Ethiopia adopted Christianity. The book of Enoch has never been accepted scripture by any church council. Ever.
Read it if you want to. Quote it. Expound on it. But it isn’t inspired scripture and to state it as so just isn’t truthful.
I’m sorry you are wrong on this.
