True. It would be a gamble… Would the less crazy fringe of the Republican congress go along with Vance if daddy Trump isn’t there to protect him though? I don’t know. A lot of conservatives don’t really like Trump but they’re too afraid of the power he wields over them. It’s possible that would all collapse with Trump’s absence. Unfortunately I think Elon could provide a replacement celebrity to rally around… He brings his own f’ing cult.

What a fuckin’ mess.

Maybe but he’s not as, I’m gonna say “charismatic”, though. Maga love Trump himself, not his policy. It’s a cult of personality. Trump could turn on Vance and nobody would care.

Considering they have minority status in all three branches of government, what do you suggest they do?

These companies do their financials quarterly. Even if this goes as planned nobody would even notice if they looked for it.

Bigger army diplomacy is a remarkably effective negotiation strategy.

Sounds like cabinet material.

As a representative of your constituants you should be willing to accept that risk on their behalf.

He talks like a very stupid root vegetable.

“Someone might want to let Chris Rufo know that many of the best coders, hackers, and cryptographers are LGBTQ. The neurodivergent talent required for these skills often comes with divergence from the mean in other areas.”

Hrm. While I’m very sympathetic to their plight here I also hate this “Big Bang Theory” stereotype of people who work in technical fields.

You are the one who is arguing that this sheriff, who has a full time job with a higher rank in the same office as before, should still be receiving disability.

I am not.

So you think it’s totally cool to have a person collect disability payments for years and years while working a full time job that pays even more than the job they are collecting disability from?

Ahh, we’re at the point where people just start ascribing straw-man arguments to me. Bye bye.

Does having a disability means his arms don’t work? Your “point” was far too clever for me.

Having a disability doesn’t mean his arms don’t work.

partial disability

Sorry dude - “it’s a post truth world friend”. 🤣

Social Security disability insurance doesn’t have a limit on unearned income, but there is a limit on how much you can make from working.

So… Yeah - as I said - you can receive benefits while working.

You’re just telling me that your fascism is better than their fascism. But you both suck.

This might be the stupidest reply I’ve ever received? Hard to tell, so many contenders.

He can work, normal people with disabilities that work lose their disability check

Nope

This is why you’re no better than the magats.

The point of disability is that you are unable to do a job and need assistance to continue living.

Nope.

This person is a sheriff NOW. His disability was from when he was a lieutenant

Disability is not tied to a job.

So he is being paid because he can’t be a lieutenant but is perfectly fine being a sheriff?

If he’s unable to work full-time at his position or has other limitations on his work performance then he his eligible for benefits regardless of what position he held when he started them.

It may be that he hasn’t disclosed to SSA what he’s making and is in fact committing fraud. But your understanding of SSA is very incorrect.
