POWERLINE: The Green New Deal's collateral damage.

But don't worry; the collateral damage is to you, not them.

ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ: Illegal immigrants are my constituents.

Then why don't you go to Mexico, or Honduras, or Guatamala, or El Salvador, or wherever, and represent them there?

SO THEY'RE BIGOTS -- what's new about that?

THAT 'DIVERSITY' DRIVEL WAS ALWAYS A PILE OF CRAP: White men dominate in Democrat presidential fundraising and polling.

HERE WE GO AGAIN:

“Popping balloons reportedly triggered an active shooter warning on University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor campus.”

NANCY PELOSI: I've always been for lowering the voting age to 16.

By 'always' she means last week....

[Added thought] In terms of mental acuity, the Democrats are already there.

LINDA SARSOUR IS A TOTAL HYPOCRITE: But that’s different because Jews.

Read Sarsour's entire tweet, then ask yourself if white men - a clearly oppressed minority group in the U.S. - are entitled to the same right to "determine how, when, and where to resist"?

BUT, BUT, ... THOSE LIVES DON'T COUNT: President Trump saves thousands of lives.

The American Greatness link is here.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Washington state joins New Jersey in trying to keep Trump off the 2020 ballot.

Um, they might want to check the Constitution: the sole requirements to be on the ballot are (a) to be a natural born citizen, and (b) at least 35 years of age (Article 2,Section 1). There doesn't seem to be any requirement in the Constitution or its Amendments to either pay taxes or file a tax return to be on the ballot.

Added thought: there is a 14 year 'resident within the United States' requirement, which I suppose could eventually be used to grant a naturalized citizen the right to run for President.

FROM MY EMAIL:

Dick Durbin, the senior Senator from Illinois called senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared Social Security to a milk cow with 310 million teats. Here's a response in a letter from one of his constituents ... she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!

Hey Dick, let's get a few things straight!

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FORTY YEARS.

2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

3. My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff proud.

4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and "your ilk" pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age, 67. NOW, you and your "shill commission" are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now "you morons" propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because "you idiots" mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal our money from Medicare to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you "incompetent bastards" spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.

To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" to your incompetence.

Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU:

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 40+ year political career?

2. At what age will you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much will you receive in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcase thieves who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers.

And for what? Votes and your job and retirement security at our expense, you lunk-headed leech.

That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic, political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.

P.S. And stop calling Social Security benefits "entitlements". WHAT AN INSULT!

I have been paying in to the SS system for 45 years. "It's my money"- give it back to me the way the system was designed and stop patting yourself on the back like you are being generous by doling out these monthly checks .

To be fair, while the lady is quite correct in excoriating Sen. Schumer and his co-conspirators in Congress, she is wrong on one fact: Social Security was a Ponzi scheme from the outset. There was never a time when money was put away in an interest-bearing account for the benefit of the taxpayer; every nickel that went in on Monday was paid out (less an 'incompetence skim' called overhead) to a Social Security recipient on Tuesday. On the rare occasions where there was a nickel left over at the end of the year, it was deposited in the Treasury general fund and an IOU placed in a cabinet labeled 'Social Security'. Now that it's payback time where recipients outnumber taxpayers, either recipients will be cut or taxes hiked.

That's why I've been pushing so hard for privatizing Social Security - so my grandchildren will have a chance.
