I don't get it.

It's a meme you post whenever there is an election.

For what it’s worth, Grok (Twitter’s A.I.) cheerfully estimated that seventy percent (70%) of Haley voters were not Republicans.

Wow. Whatever her name really is a meat curtain. Delicious gossip, and it is likely true instead of made up.

Patrick says

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE SIZE OF THE HOUSE THEY COULD'VE HAD IF THE TOWN WAS NOT SO RACIST?!!!

Several men have been bangin on her meat curtains

About bombing Iran, "It's not starting war it's preventing war."

They tried to get Trump to, "Retaliate" against Iran.

Worse than you can imagine: Haley loses to ‘none of these candidates’ in Nevada

RENO, Nevada — Nikki Haley suffered a major embarrassment in Nevada on Tuesday, finishing far behind “none of these candidates” in a presidential primary in which Donald Trump didn’t even compete.

Haley’s second-place drubbing to the disembodied alternative on the ballot came in an otherwise no-stakes primary that will not award delegates to the Republican Party’s presidential nominating convention. Trump is expected to romp in the contest that will award delegates, the party-run caucus later this week.

Nikki should not have lied about what she said. Even so, the event of raising the age of collecting Social Security will likely occur no matter who is elected. You can only tax the current workers so far.

As funny as this is, I agree that the age needs to be raised unfortunately to manage the cost.

The FICA cap can be raised instead. This is what Nikki's donors want to avoid at all cost.

I disagree because our contributions into Social Security over a lifetime exceed the amount that we will ever receive when we retire. To correct this we need to stop the theft and the fraud in Social Security.

Nikki has received a 50 million dollar offer to revive "The Gong Show" as long as she is the main attraction on each episode.

Raising the age impacts all Social Security recipients equally. Raising the cap on FICA unfairly impacts those who make more money. Raise the age before raising the cap, which already happens with inflation.

I was assuming that any fraud, waste and abuse is eliminated first. After that, I believe the next logical step is to raise the age if SS can't remain solvent.

That's not true if you factor in healthcare costs and Medicare. Today's seniors get medical care at a steep discount (if compared to what it costs today and what they paid in), without which they would not have enough money even if they got paid out what they paid in. Precisely because healthcare is a racket, hence it grows at a much faster pace than general inflation. Send Today's boomer seniors back to work instead before raising the retirement age and get rid of Medicare.

My local gym is full of old white mostly leftoid seniors as only those and people who make good money today can afford the dues. The youth either doesn't exercise or does or on free running and/or circuit training trails. There's a reason for it, boomers took all the advantage of the economic booms with relatively low taxes and then socialized everything once they hit retirememtn age. The youth is paying the price. But hey at least they can get free genital mutilation surgery

Hahahaha. You funny!

You are also now a de-facto Nikki supporter. Whether you accept that characterization or not. Because as I said, that is the position of the donor base backing her.

Besides, moot point. Funding social welfare programs with payroll taxes is a dead duck anyway. Robots/AI don't get payroll to tax.

You're better off exercising outdoors. Outdoor air is more abrasive than indoor air, and leads to better immunity.

In addition to DEI crap, media programs seem to ALWAYS show some character struggling with a demented relative, especially European and British shows. The message is that all old people are demented, and thus a burden, and should be hurried along from the mortal coil so the young can party on said BoomFuck's ill gotten assets. Even ten years ago, there weren't the plethora of dementia roles like now, which seem to be nearly as mandatory as the usual ethnic shoehorning. It might also have to do with the usual Globalist fiends purposely trying to poison the population into dementias and applying media predictive programming.

Problem is, when it is your turn for the 'Logan's Run' human skeets catapult or the 'Soylent Green' treatment, whatcha gonna do? Are you sacrificing your own future fate on the wheels of programmed sadism in exchange for temporary conveniences in your somewhat younger years?

A lot of boomers are thoroughly poor and fucked financially, I see them all the time. Also, in the Bay Area, we are attempting to live around a lot of the richest RichFucks in the world. Go somewhere else to get some perspective.

Good gyms have an outdoors section. I agree that many of the pills and treatments make things worse, but that doesn't mean that you won't need any treatment at all. Sure there are poor boomers, esp. in economic poorer regions, but they had far more opportunity to prosper than today's Gen Z and millenials. Just look at the national debt and inflation, which is always paid by future generations.

You are talking about the Fed's Babylonian Debt Slavery, emanating from the foreign occupied foreign city state of Washington DC and the Euro bankers from Jekyll Island. It's an ancient Ponzi scheme and the BoomFucks aren't the ones that voted it in. In fact, NOBODY voted it in.
It's baked in and the Boomers are just as victimized. Their retirement checks just lost at least 25 percent purchasing power in the last two years, and they don't have the work opportunities to make up for it.

Recently yes, but many services they take their cost for them is capped, plus their assets (stocks, houses) rise with the inflation. Look no further than the meteoric rise.of debt to gdp since 1980, when boomers entered their prime years, until now. Brutal. Before that it was actually quite balanced. It's called kicking the can down the road to pick up for future generations

"That's not true if you factor in healthcare costs and Medicare. Today's seniors get medical care at a steep discount..."

On the contrary. The Europeans pay $3,000/yr for healthcare and receive more healthcare than we do and we pay over $15,000/yr.

Yes, in Europe, $3,000/yr pays for doctors, hospitals and medications and in the US $15,000/yr is not enough!

Having to pay 4 plus times the going rate for a vital service is extortion, robbery and theft. Only under the systemic rule of a kleptocracy and a criminal establishment can such blatant scheme survive unchallenged. And with President Trump the end of this abomination is in sight.

You may have misunderstood the point. Yes I agree that the services are often better elsewhere, at least in Northern European countries, but that doesn't change the fact that boomers receive more than they paid in in nominal Dollars! Why? Because US healthcare is a racket, and they contributed to this with their votes. Medical "care" in the US has been so expensive that it outpaced general inflation amd wage growth and everything for many decades now. Under the boomers prime years the national debt exploded and so did the medical costs. There is no contradiction in what we're both saying except for that I tell you that if they simply got what they paid in and had to pay actual prices for medical care (instead of getting medicare more or less for free or at least at a steep discount) today they would have less (unless they are very healthy and don't need to use the racket)

A US "doctor" comes into the room and stays for a minute, and your bill (or that of your insurance) immediately increases by $300 at the minimum. That's extortion and Medicare does not have the funds to pay for it so it's funded via natiomal debt on the promise of forward work of future/younger generations.

Doctors in Sweden get paid less than $100k on average, too. Good luck trying that here.

Your logic fails here because we have a criminal activity of gargantuan proportions and you want to charge the victims even more money! No! The correct course of action is to arrest and get rid of the crooks and not to claim that the boomers are not paying enough!

UkraineIsFucked says

It is not the doctors who are overcharging. It is the health insurance companies that own the hospitals and employ the doctors. These are the real crooks that need to be kicked out.
