Food stamp recipients should have to work, go to training, or go to school.

Get up off your ass and work or be educated if you need help feeding yourself or your family.

The only link here that looks to remotely be legitimate is the WAPO article on food stamps, but I can't see it because it's pay walled. On that one, there absolutely should be work requirements tied to it which is what I'm sure is being proposed and/or the types of things that should be allowed on it.

The rest of your links are lies because they are either 5-6 years old or proposed by people not even in Congress. I guess you are ignoring that Republican leadership has repeatedly said they aren't touching SS or Medicare (unfortunately).

So I award you 4 out of 5 lies with the fifth one being misinterpreted.

Thus, you are a liar and a troll.

It appears Democrats continued to improve on their 2022 performances in several special elections around the nation tonight. Maybe if national Republicans keep calling for national divorce and cutting benefits they can turn this around in time for 2024!
This just proves that the dumbing down of America by our liberal indoctrination education system is working.

It also may prove that the great sorting out is happening at even a more rapid pace -- if conservatives are leaving Democrat areas, you can expect MORE wide margins in Democrat areas.

True, and thus a more rapid decline in said Democrat areas as a result.

OP, you're comparing special election results from individual districts to the results from a national election and trying to spot a "trend". That's f'ing idiotic. Republicans in those individual districts had far less of a reason to show up and vote, knowing that whomever they voted for, some commie pos was going to win that individual district. National elections also have many statewide races on the ballot and many more reasons for Rs to show up. Just a pathetic post.

It's funny how you accuse people of lying. They present to you VIDEO EVIDENCE that they aren't lying, and your response is "keep lying". You're not a serious, nor an honest person.

FYI, Ron Johnson and Rick Scott also said we need to have legislation that would effectively cancel Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid every year unless it was voted on for renewal every year. So it's not JUST Mike Lee.

I'm sure you'll shove your head back in the sand after telling me to quit lying again. It seems you have a very troubled relationship with reality and the truth.

This type of brain worms just blows my mind.

It's funny. I used to assume when someone acted immature, dug their heels in, and doubled down on a terrible stance in the face of valid proof or evidence, that they must be young and immature.

Now when I see that kind of cognitive dissonance, I actually assume they are old.

The Republican leadership has said ad nauseum that SS and Medicare are not being touched. Did you watch the SOTU? That was about the most public forum we've had where the Republicans have said it's off limits. Even MTG was booing Biden about this.

1-2 Republicans can talk all they want about reforming entitlements. FTR, we need to. They need to be addressed, but the Republicans have said it's not happening.

You are projecting a handful of people's comments across the entire party who has already said this is DOA and not even a conversation, but keep on crying about Republicans cutting entitlements.

You are a liar by saying that the party is going to cut entitlements when they've already publicly and repeatedly said its not happening.

If you can quote me where I, aggievaulter07, said this, post it, then DM me your Venmo address and I'll Venmo you $100.

Even the guy you first called a liar didn't say it like you're disingenuously 'quoting' him.

You're straw manning this thing, then calling other people liars based on your straw manned representation of what they said.

Seriously, QUOTE ME, and $100 is yours.

On the flip side, when you inevitably can't find a quote from me saying what you said I lied about, I'll flag your ad hominem attacks for each time you called me a liar.

Evening obtuse boy.

The point being that Democrats keep saying Republicans are going to cut entitlements when they aren't.

Democrats using their typical projection scare tactics. That's the point here.

Just like the never ending talking point that only the rich get tax cuts.

Yep. They're trying to play up his positions while in congress like it's some sort of boogeyman.

https://www.businessinsider.com/ron-desantis-voting-record-vulnerabilities-congress-2024-trump-biden-2023-2

"Congressman DeSantis…supported the even more drastic Republican Study Committee's budget proposal that aimed to balance the federal budget in four years, instead of Ryan's decade. To achieve such cuts, as the Committee for the Responsible Budget detailed back then, required changing Medicare to a partially private system by 2019 and raising the retirement age to 70. It would have also increased the full retirement age for Social Security to 70 as well."

Like THAT little bit of modification is tantamount to taking a wrecking ball to SS. It's absurd.

Mike Lee is not "republicans keep calling…"

2023 was lying. Joe Biden continues to lie. All the while, SS is about to be completely bankrupt because no one will do anything other than spend the SS taxes on other things. Stop stealing from us!

I would love to hear how you plan to balance the budget if you don't do something about entitlement programs. In case you haven't heard, they are about to explode due to demographics.
I am sure I will get a make the rich pay their fair share comment but I love how they never ever say what the fair share is. Only more than they pay today.

So, he wasn't lying either. I just named 3 Republicans. So, his statement that "Republicans (yes, plural) keep calling for cutting benefits" is a factual statement.

By the way, we were also told for years that Roe would never be overturned. "Don't listen to those few that say they think they can overturn it" they said.

So pardon us for not taking statements like "Well, it's not ALL of them" to mean jack ****.

No need to say it because y'all are liars. Now you are trying to hang your hat on the super technicality of this when we all know Democrats have used this scare tactic against Republicans for decades.

It's like we are reliving the SOTU with this exchange which you clearly missed. Entitlements are not getting cut regardless of what a handful of former advisors and Republicans with no power say about it. The Republican powers that be proactively killed any discussion of it.

Which is unfortunate because it needs reform. It will just crater instead.

Roe wasn't legal the way it was set up. Now it's properly left to the states.

And god help is if we tried to make SS and Medicare solvent through reform or give people a choice with it!! Oh no!!!!

QUOTE ME. BACK YOUR ACCUSATIONS UP.

The irony here is, you say I hang my hat on a super technicality, yet your accusation that I am lying has literally no basis, not even on a 'super technicality'. Nothing you say can be taken seriously when your primary form of interaction is unfounded ad hominem.

I can't even engage you on the nuance, which is sad because I agree with you on some of it.

I have a sincere and earnest question for you.


What is it exactly that draws you to the Democratic Party or is it something you believe the Republican Party stands for that pushes you away?

I'm really curious what accomplishments or moral fiber the Democratic Party has demonstrated in the past 20 years that would attract voters.

I hope folks will allow for an honest discussion and not side track it with the snarkiness and the attempts to be funny that these conversations always bring out.

I will appreciate your response whether I disagree with it or find some things I can agree with in it.

Thanks.
