There needs to be stronger laws protecting animals in this country. Some fucking nigger burns 30,000 innocent critters to death, they should be skinned alive, televised for all other prospective animal abusing niggers to see.
I know. My chickens were my babies. Miss Biddie used to sleep on top of my doggo, Major.
 
one example

a rollingstone article with examples of him lying from 2 years ago

another article about Elon making shit up for clicks

It's well documented and easy to google. He's a lying faggot that has probably never actually worked a day in his life and just hires people to do cool stuff.
Literally one of the articles is mother jones, which has a history of denigrating people, including us. I get that you're trying to own Elon simps, but these articles aren't the best.
 
Because those few of us who live in EU nations with free speech enjoy the Germans suffering, cause they deserve it. And those who live in the rest of EU are gonna get arrested and sent to a prison full of Muslim rape apes where the torture and killing gets outsourced and white washed.

New John Oliver just dropped.


Not even a minute in and he complains about Trump supplying water to California. He literally plays it out as if that was a bad thing.
Is John Oliver the most Retarded looking man on Earth?
Soooo almost 39 million kids are cripples/orphaned?
That's more then 10% of the US population
So basically me in college other then going to work
 
My question is--how do they know SS is going to dry up if no one's really looked at it? "They" say it's too expensive to purge the rolls, but wouldn't that be a worthy expense, to make sure SS payments and records are accurate instead of just shrugging? Why hasn't anyone taken a stab at clearing the fraud--and there is definitely fraud, it's a matter of how much. Even if Elon's made a mistake in the numbers it doesn't negate that like every other agency in the government there's a clear lack of care and oversight. Why is that acceptable?
Because like every other bit of the bureaucracy, its a jobs program for democrat party loyalists. Oversight, and purging means fewer people are needed to "work" at those agencies. Which not only puts loyalists out on their asses, but opens up the agency to be taken over by right-wingers. Which has a domino effect of more the government be less on board with uni-party bullshit.
 
I can't get over how sad and pathetic the protesters are. They have 0 money behind them now and it's just the unemployed speds and college faggots with no social life.
Unemployed speds and also unemployed feds.
Didn't learn their lesson from not taking the buyout and instead wasting their time seething about being fired.
Well if they understood the concept of things not working, they'd understand why they were fired.
 
These numbers can't be right. Maybe they're right as for the number of people that are technically on the books, but not the number of people receiving payouts. The SSA releases data on how many people are receiving Social Security and Social Security Disability payments each month. For the month of January, the number was a little over 73 million.
Correct - these seem to be the numbers on the books. What's interesting to me (just eyeballing the total, don't sperg out on my math) is that these numbers add up to +110% of the current US population. Fuckery is afoot.

"Social Security" is a big umbrella. SSI is but one piece of "Social security checks".
 
Reddit users are mask off, openly against free speech now. I know some will say, "Now?" But the website wasn't always this way. They would at least pretend to defend free speech. I remember seeing "I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It" quoted frequently. At this rate we need 12 years of Republican power to undo all the damage that has been done.

On the other hand, their arguement that if everyone were allowed to say exactly what they thought, the end result would be rounding up all the Jews is kind of fun. It's like rednecks and Blacks both loving guns and barbecue, there's more common ground than people like to admit.
 
To be honest, I did the same thing in college. Keep your head low and get work done.
They keep sharing this stuff like it make him look bad, I don't think they realize it just makes him more relatable to a lot of us.
Tells you a lot about the kind of people they are.

The original article, by the way, was in The Independant and had a different title:

And here's her old Buzzfeed work:

So I don't think I'm that far off. Not shitting on Kelly here, she just doesn't seem like the type of person to get it, you know?
 
@Lord Atem Can't quote so have to tag.

Germany's sin is murdering millions of people, Germany's sin is plunging the world into a second world war when it was only just starting to recover from the First World War which Germany is also at least 50% responsible for, Germany's sin is ruining Europe, Germany's sin is ensuring that no western nation can ever have a strong nationalistic government hell we can't even have slightly right-wing governments anymore because that's too Naziesque thanks again to Germany.

But silly me I forget, DA JOOZ DA JOOOOOOOOOZ!

World War 2 was 80 years ago. Nobody relevant to that is still alive, so seriously shut the fuck up and move on already. Leftists love to smugly repeat that you must "learn from history" or you'll be "doomed to repeat it", but almost every atrocity ever committed was justified by historical narratives that outweighed clear-eyed perspectives on the present. Understanding real life is complicated with life experience, so how does anyone expect to understand a historical world with basically no context other than reading stuff? """History""" buffs are just useful idiots. Please fuck off to some historyfaggot containment zone and crank it to your LARP there.

Also probably applies to @Lord Atem , but I can't find the quoted post.

No you don't understand, this is the total number of people receiving money from the Social Security Administration. That table is literally from the Social Security Administration and they're required to post the number of people receiving checks. You can argue that it's possible some portion of the 73m are fraudulently receiving checks, but Social Security is only paying out to 73m people.
Correct - these seem to be the numbers on the books. What's interesting to me (just eyeballing the total, don't sperg out on my math) is that these numbers add up to +110% of the current US population. Fuckery is afoot.
I don't know. The SSA isn't responsible for tracking the population of the United States, so I imagine there's plenty of people on the SSA books that are dead and nobody bothered to send in a death certificate. I also imagine that the accuracy of the numbers increase as time goes on. For instance, I think it's a lot more likely someone dies in 1948 and nobody bothers to tell the feds than in 2025.

Honestly, I don't really give a shit if the raw numbers are off, as long as the actual payments going out are going to deserving people. So far all he's posted is some fucked up excel numbers to catch headlines, and he needs to provide some actual, in depth audit numbers for who is receiving the money and how much. Frankly I'm tired of the political points scoring and posturing, do the fucking audits.
