  1.  @kimberlycmangusrn  I have no idea what you’re talking about. I haven’t deleted anything. If you wish to operate under alternative facts, then you do you.

  2.  @minigirl6839 the people who wrote Project 2025 were in his administration, his consultants and on his team, they are likely to be in his administration and on his team again should he win. He has lied and said he doesn’t know who any of these Project 2025 people are yet there are videos of him talking with them. He is only disavowing it now because people are finding out more about it and don’t like it. I’ve known about Project 2025 for at least 18 months to two years … he never disavowed it then. Hey, if you agree with it because it meets your needs good for you. Personally, I don’t think Project 2025 is good for anyone in the country particularly seniors.

  3. Their poor financial decisions in life is easier to blame on brown people. It’s really a hateful country as is shown with the Springfield Ohio incident.

  4. ⁠ @gloriouslifeonwheels3621 there’s only one party who is persisting in racial hatred and who implement policies that perpetuate structural racism that negatively affects black and brown people. There’s also only one party that yanked the border bill at the last minute that would have assisted in curbing illegal immigration issues providing much more money to hiring more border enforcing personnel. Only one party thought it was clever to build a rusting wall and get Mexico to pay for it and essentially did nothing but get in the way of progress that cost us billions. There’s only only one party that marginalizes the poor, black, brown or white by tempting people to believe in trickle down economics and continues to give tax cuts to the rich —- so those people earning lower incomes in the service of others, or screwed up in financial planning or continue to make terrible financial decisions only one party promotes you picking yourself up by your bootstraps. Only one party raided over a trillion dollars out of the social security trust fund to fund a war trying to avenge his fathers presidency and didn’t put the money back into the trust fund. Only one party put together the Project 2025 administrative plan. Only one party has had to come in and spend time in their term to clean up the financial nightmare and messes from prior administrations for the last 35 years instead of working on their own agenda for the betterment of the middle and working class. If people want to direct their anger somewhere first they should do some self reflection and not blame everything negative about their lives on someone else and then go get pissed off and start boycotting the businesses that hire undocumented immigrants. You can start with the California agricultural businesses or you can do meat processing plants in other parts of the country… lots of places where people can go and demonstrate their frustration that they don’t want these businesses hiring ‘illegals’. There’s ‘illegals’ working in car washes, restaraunts, hotels, etc. Some people can go and park themselves in front of Mara Lago as there has been several ‘illegals’ working there. Immigrants come here to work, don’t like that .. then go deal with the businesses who hire them. Go boycott the businesses like target and Walmart that buy meat and food products from businesses that hire ‘illegals.’

  5. Actually I wish I knew what the political ideologies are of the people I follow and I can make a more informed choice on if I wish to follow and support the channel or not.

  11.  @originalmamagrizzly2478  yea and she didn’t even bilk money from the poor. She just bribed USC to take her daughter in. But I would say a large population of the kids at USC were bought a space there by their parents. Such is the case with private universities.

  12. One lazy way out is to see who various unions support and why. Teachers unions, service workers unions, nurses unions, typically are made up of middle class people and they usually are looking to vote for those who are looking out for their interests and they usually list what those interests are. If you agree with them, then you can endorse their candidate. Legitimate newspapers usually do a very good job with comparing and contrasting and neutral news sources such as those on PBS will also give you an idea. I personally like to also watch foreign news sources who often do a very good job on breaking down our politics.

  16. Not for deliberate purpose of paying for tax cuts for the astronomically rich. Who do you think paid for the farmers whose crops rotted in the fields because trumps tariffs had countries making deals with other countries for their produce instead of doing business with the US. Yes there have been tariffs for a long time, but not imposed by someone whose college economics professor said he was the dumbest student he’s ever encountered. 😂

  17. There is nothing in common with the two parties. To say that suggests that you aren’t tuned into what progress democrats make and how much they have to clean up after republicans.

  18.  @tonette6592 not brainwashed at all in fact you are the people tanking the poor and working class in this country in praise of a lunatic trying to take over Canada, Greenland, the Panama Canal. Appointing people largely unqualified for any governmental job except to kiss his ring and wipe his butt. We are the laughing stock of the world. Right after Biden spent these last four years giving us the strongest economy in the world after Covid. All those republicans voting against the infrastructure act, you think about that in red states when all the construction and new jobs start in 2025 and you drive over their bridges. You think about the price of medication he brought down for seniors. You go ahead and continue to live in your little hate filled world over brown people while trump and his cronies continue to grift you and leave even more trillions of dollars in debt he left last time.

  19. He and his team has everything to do with Project 2025. But I will say there’s no point in ruminating about it now. They released Project 2025 material 18 months ago and only a few people chose to educate themselves about it and what they would do if they got in power; but hey supremacists won out. That ship has now sailed. But you keep believing in what you want Jan.

  20. Yep, as far back as the 70s trump has always loved racists and “the poorly educated.” It helps to know what the acronym stands for and then what the actual words mean, and their application. There’s plenty of well stated and educated definitions of DEI (not fox, oan or Sinclair). And speaking of DEI…. One area you don’t have to feel that “those others” come out ahead … cancer. It’s already an equal opportunity invader (more or less, the more scientific subtleties of cancer is far to advanced for this conversation so we’ll live it simple as an equal opportunity invader. Todays news, he’s stopped the NIH (National Institutes of Health) from funding cancer research. Of course he stopped funding for research for diseases that effect certain populations more than others (the racist part) but hey cancer hits everyone. Perhaps you’ve never known anyone with cancer. No need to worry about DEI with cancer. 😂

  23.  @iucp101 he debunked it because he knows it’s not popular yet everyone involved in it are people who he had in his administration and likely to have them involved again. He’s quite enmeshed with the Heritage Foundation who told him who to put on the supreme court. I’d say he was quite entangled and embedded with Project 2025. Fox Entertainment might have debunked it but no other credible news source has.

  24.  @anniesshenanigans3815  it was $600 under trump. He probably would have kept it at $600. Biden changed it to $750 upon taking office. The $750 is for people to care of any immediate need. Sounds a bit like socialism to me… thought you all didn’t like all that. Ohhh but wait, when it concerns you, it’s ok. Got it.

  27.  @TLA123y6f it’s a pity more people don’t educate themselves on this matter. Trump is out there spewing lies and those who support him believe it and and continue to spread the lies. Networks and newspapers have been trying to correct these lies but people believe what they want to believe especially that demographic that wants to oppress and marginalize people of color.

  28.  @TLA123y6f most large newspapers respect the truth. The BBC is also a good source. You need to look at several different sources. PBS is typically a good source as well but everything should be double checked against another source. Certainly a source that has consistently proven to lie should probably be eliminated for any truth worthiness.the NewsWeek article I suggested on who voted against against FEMA can be easily verifiable as the way your representatives voted is public record.

  31.  @fluffyfeathers49  on the contrary. I certainly don’t believe in a bloviating criminal grifter. You can easily check the the credibility of the NewsWeek article … how you’re representative voted is public information.

  32.  @BittyBooBrown  yep I actually did. Here’s the problem with almost half of the American majority population, which has gone on for the last couple of hundred years; you purposely vote against your own better interests because you fear anyone else getting anything/ don’t want another group to have anything.

  35. You believe that millions of people 120-360 years old are receiving social security checks? 😂😂😂😂 Do you know that famous quote from President Johnson from the 60s? If not you should look it up and study it, it’s been pertinent in the functioning of this country since he said it. Unless those millions of elderly people were killed and their dead bodies hidden all these years information from hospitals, coroners, morgues etc … immediately report that death to social security at which point social security wastes no time in terminating payments.

  42.  @DearestDawn first I grew up struggling working class, there were no frills in our household. From the age of 16 I’ve never not worked even through college. The Bush economic disaster in my 40s was a very eye opening experience for me and a reminder for me, from my father that this country will never do anything for me. I built back my savings that I lost under the Bush admin (2006-2008) by increasing my savings amount from saving 12% every month to 20% and then over a number of years eventually to 25-27%. I never saw that money it was taken directly out of my paycheck and directly went to my savings. Every time I got any increase in money, raises for example, or if there were no raises COLAS, I put all but 1- 1.5% of it in savings, when there were no increases I still put in an extra .5% - in short earning less money than I was making for several years. So in other words I kept my same lifestyle despite making more money. I drove the same car (Toyota Camry) for 23 years. There were periods where I also took on an additional part time job to buy a new car, or pay for a vacation etc. in the early 90s I worked 3 jobs for several years to build up enough of a down payment for a condo. Under Obama the financial market finally stabilized and started getting soo much better. Building back all the losses I had in 2008. I saved A LOT of money during Covid because we were in lockdown. Gas was lower because the market was flooded with fuel no one was driving, flying, cruising. Whatever frivolous shopping I did (Shepora, manicures, crafts, going to movies whatever) I didn’t spend any money. I couldn’t go out and eat, which saved a ton of money. I didn’t do door dash or any food delivery service so I didn’t have those kinds of costs. So when things started to get going again Post Covid when people were using way more gas, traveling, causing shortages because production needed to be amped up, bird flue affecting the cost of chicken and eggs, production slow downs in other countries (took them longer to recover than us) affecting the cost of imports/goods here etc. The stuff that caused inflation affected me but I wasn’t devastated because I maintained the lifestyle I had during Covid. I didn’t go back to frivolous shopping, I ate at home more, friends hung out at friends homes and cooked and didn’t spend money on eating out going to shows etc. CD % rates because of inflation were relatively good during these last years of Biden, not as good as I remember them when I was a kid but the rates are really good for our times. I took a portion of my savings and locked them into 5% for 2,3,4 and five years, laddering my accounts so that if I need it I’ll have money accessible once every year. Also, because of the economic stability and improvement over the last couple of years under Biden my IRA did better as well as if not better than it did under Obama. For the most part I expect that the interest rates will continue to go down or at least stabilize and the market will stay sane as long as trump doesn’t do stupid stuff. If he implements tariffs, keep cutting tax rates more than he already did for the top 1% and big businesses, and actually deports all the millions of people he’s talking about the economy will again be in a perfect to crash and likely crash worse than it did under Bush. And that effects everything. For those who need charity related services, food assistance etc .. people and corporations who typically donate will not have the money to donate towards those services and everything will cost more for what those charities have to purchase. So, for the potentially dark days ahead and my personal opinion is that there will be. I’m back to saving every piece of change again and looking at where I can possibly cut back (example a couple of years ago I talked a friend into going in a $30/mo inc taxes and fees cell phone plan, no longer offered). For cable I call every 6 months for rates, I call my bank and ask for them to lower my interest rate, but I usually pay my credit card every month. In the event I don’t or can’t I want my interest rate as low as possible. Until Covid I was able to keep my main card between 5 and 7 percent for 20 years. During the inflation with Covid it increased but every time the feds decreased the rate I call my bank. I’m now at 9.97%. Since the feds just dropped the rate again this week, I’ll be calling my bank again. I don’t qualify for discounts on utilities etc but when my father was alive when he became older and didn’t want to deal with that kind of stuff I was calling his cable company, phone company, bank card etc to get better rates. He was able to save money during Covid because the PPp money for businesses kept food service businesses open during Covid (to keep people working and earning money) but the food, primarily through small family restaurants was delivered to seniors. It was all free for them. He was able to save a lot of money from that time because he couldn’t go anywhere either. You have to know your resources and know how they work. I will finally add that I live in a very blue area of a blue state so there is really an effort to help those who are less able to help themselves. The environment where I live also doesn’t have a seething hate about others, so people are not inclined to screw themselves because they think someone else is getting something they aren’t.

  44.  @TLA123y6f most people screaming the loudest about there not being enough services are the very same people who support the very people giving tax cuts to the top one percent that creating trillions in deficit under the last administration that could be used to prop up social services. They continue to support a party of trickle down economics even though they don’t see any of the trickle and they support the “pick yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality, I guess they still haven’t figured out that that means them now.

  45. The majority culture and the new elected officials are about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. With further tax cuts for the top 1% we’ll have a further soaring deficit as there was between 2016-2020.

  50. There’s only one party that seems concerned about the price of pharmaceuticals, health insurance, social security, veterans care, medi care. The two parties are quite divergent on this issues. The choice shouldn’t be difficult for anyone approaching being a senior or is a senior.
