    Immigrants disappear. They won't show up for work. How soon till the crops die on the vine?

    Let me guess what's next. Cheeto calls a national emergency and uses prisoners to pick fruits & vegetables

    That's where the autism database and registry of everyone on mental health drugs comes in! RFK has already thought of all that.

    It's the plan. When your brain only works in immediate cause and effect and black/white good/bad, you get this administration.

    "All the lazy browns and black citizens in our country lay around all day collecting unemployement and SNAP and Medicaid - and so we get all these spanish-speaking illegals doing those low-wage under the table jobs. Let's stop the immigration, cut all the aid, and deport a couple of thousand of these criminals a day, and then the brown and black citizens can get back to work pickin' my cotton - or whatever it is we need these days."

    It really doesn't get much more obvious.

    They were wooping it up on the House floor too. "How many poors will die in your district, Geoff? I'd say 3K-5K in mine. What a great day to be an American!"

    I got this email below from the Social Security Administration….. this is using the massive database of the Federal Government for pure propaganda …. No ********ing words.


    “The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.

    The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy.

    “This is a historic step forward for America’s seniors,” said Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. “For nearly 90 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for older Americans. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they’ve earned."

    There are only 9 States that tax SS benefits so does that mean 90% of the beneficiaries live in those 9 States? :confused:

    So they imprisoned brown people, some of whose jobs were picking fruits and vegetables, so they could use them to pick fruits and vegetables?

    It appears more like they’re eliminating people’s jobs and healthcare so they’ll be forced to take low wage jobs picking fruits and vegetables, and the brown people in the concentration camps will simply die slow, horrific deaths.

    But at least the loyal and ambitious will still be able to get jobs working for Trump’s domestic militia known as ICE.

    It's modern day slave labor/a concentration camp. They'll work 18 hours day without rest, breaks, food or a day off until they collapse and are thrown to the gators

    Also, his deal with illegals that want to stay and work in a farm/hotel is essentially work for $5/hour, get deported or get send to Alligator Alcatraz. So farmers are the new slave owners.

    And in things not surprising...

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1mzxz1m9meo

    The White House will host a UFC bout next year as part of events to mark 250 years of American independence, US President Donald Trump has announced.

    The event will be a "championship fight" with an audience of 20,000-25,000, Trump told a crowd in Iowa on Thursday.

    The president, who is a friend of UFC president Dana White, said: "We are going to have some incredible events, some professional events, some amateur events."

    Gonna go back and watch Idocracy to remember how this all turns out.

    Like most Republican tax changes, this doesn't help the financial position of poorer seniors. The existing standard deuction for seniors is ~$33k for a married couple and half of seniors earn less than that. It'll benefit most those seniors whose marginal federal tax rate is 22% and who earn (for a married couple) less than the phase out point of $150k.

    Oh, and those poorer seniors are often on both Medcicare and Medcaid together and these changes further undermine the stability of the Medcaid program and of health facilities in general in poorer, especially rural, areas. And the final kicker is that this brings forward by ~1 year the date on which the SS trus fund becomes insolvent.
