Lol

Exactly like this. You’ll be one of the cynical ones saying “Dems did it too”, and “Judges have always been falling out of windows, you just weren’t paying attention.”

It’s a seductive position to take because you can never be accused of being optimistic or naive.

lol, as if judges would ever stand up to Trump in the first place.

Again, judges absolutely did stand up to Trump on the election-stealing lawsuits, even the ones Trump-appointed. It’s basically our last line of defense short of the military kicking Trump out, which of course has its own set of huge problems.

Judges and the rule of law held in 2020. This baseless blanket cynicism is exactly what they’re counting on.

OK, it looks like I got it. I was worried after those first few responses.

Epstein didn’t kill himself

Daisy Duke. Father Time remains undefeated.

I thought it was “I see you’ve got your fist out, say your piece and get out, yes I get the gist of it but it’s all right”. TIL it’s “I see you’ve got your list out”.

That is brand new information.

“List out” is on their website.

I thought it was ‘fist’ too.

I was at the show where they recorded the video.

I am not a big Grateful Dead fan, but I know that they change their lyrics in concert pretty regularly. It’s pretty clearly “fist” on the record release of Touch of Grey, but “list” on their official website. I think they probably just use both.

A proposal for a new disability system

Proposed Solution: American Disability Compensation

Core Framework

  • Mirrors the successful VA Disability Compensation model.
  • Implements a rating system from 10% to 100% disability for adults.
  • Matches benefits to earning potential.
  • Provides universal benefits (no means-testing), allowing beneficiaries to work without losing benefits.

Key Features

1. Adult Benefits

  • Benefits range from 25% to 250% of the federal poverty line.
  • Combined earned income and benefits can reach living wage levels.
  • No asset limits or work history requirements.
  • Straightforward eligibility based on medical evaluation.

2. Child Benefits

  • Four-tier benefit system based on disability severity.
  • Benefits linked to the difference between one-person and two-person federal poverty lines.
  • Simplified eligibility criteria.

3. Program Integration

  • Replaces SSDI and SSI.
  • Absorbs Disability Insurance Trust Fund.
  • Maintains VA Disability Compensation as a separate program

Sounds like a good plan. You should email this to Elon Musk

It’s too bad Trump prefers people who aren’t broken…
