I’m amazed even the Trump lovers who say SS screwups and cuts are bad couldn’t foresee this coming.

Most of us before the election knew it would happen

Sadly the country chose this..

You know how for a year I was raising the alarm here that the migrants were really changing people into MAGAtards in and around NYC.

Well now I'm starting to see a bit of a reverse thing happening but in very limited fashion.. no one's taking personal responsibility.. they're still not "regretting their vote" but they're like: "What is Trump doing? Why is he being so stupid?"

Maybe they should look in the mirror.

But dems are maybe done locally.. of all the ones that said the above.. not one wants to go back to voting dem!

Show a Valid picture ID and they can actually see you and match you to the ID. Over a phone call or the internet you could be anybody.

I would rather do that than have someone steal my identity and my SS.

If fraud from over the phone verification is rampant then why has not anybody, especially DOGE, presented proof that it actually exists?
Should be easy to do if there is so much of it.

Time and again in court whey they argue cuts are for "fraud and waste" they are unable to present concrete examples as evidence that there is a systemic problem justifying their actions. Something they should be required to do before making a ton of arbitrary changes that are likely to result in denied benefits.

Sure is a lot of silence from the DOJ about all this "fraud" DOGE has found. So strange.

Sounds like you need to demand the state improve the situation. Michigan used to suck, during Covid they implemented an appointments system, allowed most people to renew through the mail and online, introduced kiosks at stores for things like renewing plates as well as online and now I haven’t had to wait longer than a couple of minutes for things that have to be done in person.

MA too has streamlined so much of it, its been years (maybe even more than a decade now) since ive had to wait in a big old line for an hour or more to do basic tasks. Ezpz. Its all online or go to a local DMV, which theyve really beefed up ans stramlined as well. I remember the 90’s and early 2000’s, we all dreaded interfacing with the DMV (aka RMV here) because it was such a hassle

If someones worried about their identity, then they should be outraged at the government and healthcare companies already, and that was before americans voted to gut their government and hand it all to billionaires to capitalize. I mean, social media sells your info to the higest bidder , and yall dumbasses voted for years to give it all to the same people.

I don't even have to do that. I pay my taxes and registration and they mail them to me.

That’s an option in Michigan as well. Basically lots of easy ways to get basic transactions done.

Lots of arrests that aren't happening for all that fraud too.

I'm looking forward to @pcgeek11 's SS and Medicare to be declared fraudulent and him crying about it, and I'll start celebrating.

I wish you only the best also.

God I'm glad I don't have to live your miserable existence.

I remain astonished at the level of shit Trump does his peeps are willing to excuse. When Obama was in office it was treasonous and racist when he said, "If I had a son, he would have looked like Trayvon"

or

"police behaved stupidly" When police arrested his friend trying to get into his own house.

Tan suit.

Trump is the antichrist compared to Obama (who they accused of being the antichrist) yet everything is ok with this guy.

Lutnick the Commerce Secretary ought to be [BLANKED] and [BLANKED] for his stupid remark about recipient complaints and fraudsters. [ At my age and meager resources, I don't need to become a target so I redacted myself here.]

Now we have Hegseth mistakenly sharing secret administration war plans with a journalist about an attack on the Houthies.

This administration is so incompetent that it needs to be removed. I can't wait two years, but I can't do anything. Darryl Issa should've remained in the car-alarm business. He's trying to help Trump shut down judges who disagree with the administration.

My social security direct deposit is going through temporary changes due to (a) the permanent adjustment due to 2024 FAIR Act and (b) last year's rental property sale precipitating the IRMAA temporary Medicare B premium increase to be drawn from my SS deposit. The current troubles created by Musk and DOGE related to SSA will increase the likelihood that otherwise-routine changes and revisions to an SS benefit and Medicare premiums could result in problems, and the cutback on customer support will exacerbate those problems.

I can't trust Trump for anything except his continuing to be a criminal. I can't trust Lutnick. I can't trust Dudek. I can't trust Hegseth. Pam Bondi is corrupting the DOJ. Would you put your money in a bank run by a convicted felon under an additional 60 felony counts in two jurisdictions? It's not about "propaganda" as the MAGA choose to say, but rather about probability and situations ripe for error or catastrophe.

I've had enough for one day. Hard to escape from the news.
