@whatifalthist Compare hours worked for a benefit. I started at $4 per hour in 84. $15 today.
McDonalds lunch was 1 hour, Gallon gas = 20 minutes, Movie ticket = 1 hour. All same.
First shitty apartment? Over 1 week.
But no $5 coffee, cellular, or streaming bills. Vacation? Camped in woods.
Per records, Dick Blumenthal received 5 deferments between 1965 & 1970 to avoid going to war. Then he secured a spot in the Marine Reserve, which meant he was unlikely to be sent to Vietnam. Dick was in the Marine Corps Reserve 6 years, in Washington D.C. and Connecticut, never in the Vietnam combat zone.
Yet in 2008 through 2010 he claimed he'd been in Vietnam in combat.
Remember that whenever @SenBlumenthal speaks.
Let me get this straight. There's SNAP fraud, EBT fraud, Medicaid and Medicare fraud, home healthcare fraud, daycare fraud, medical transportation fraud, and hospice fraud, but definitely, absolutely no election fraud?
For shits and giggles, I decided to see just how hard it would be to replace my birth certificate, Social Security card, AND my marriage license, since Democrats think women are too stupid to figure it out.
Here's how it went:
1. Birth certificate: Contacted the health department of the county where I was born. They OVERNIGHTED a certified copy to me the next day - total cost, $14.
2. SS Card: Contacted Social Security on their site. They asked if I was sure I needed the card, since I 'won't likely be asked for it.' I went ahead and got it - took five business days to arrive - total cost, $0.
3. Marriage License: Went to the 'vital docs' site of the county where we were hitched. Filled everything out online, arrived in three days - total cost, $5.
It cost less than $20 to obtain all three certified/legal documents, and it took less than five business days to receive them. Note: if I had lived where I was born or married, it would have been a day. Tops.
Anyone telling you this is too hard or unfair is lying and hiding the real reason they want to stop Voter ID.
I know you guys knew that already... lol
@AlBuffalo2nite Unfortunately it is like the videos of the unfaithful spouse screaming they aren’t cheating, yet they have a Tinder account.
At some point you start thinking Shakespeare was on to something, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks".
Every day we see layoffs at major American companies. Then we see these same companies hiring people on H-1B visas. There should not be one H-1B visa issued to any company that lays off Americans. Not. One.
@mattvanswol@SenMikeLee@JoChandler45859@SenJonHusted It theater for sound bites and clicks. The D’s have been told that if they don’t oppose everything Trump is in favor of or they will be primaried. See Kyrsten Sinema.
Fetterman is allowed to talk conciliatory but must vote solid ‘D’.
His money? Selling books. Yet you never see one on someone’s coffee table.
Client from India says that how they legally bribe officials.
1. Put authors on must buy lists for public libraries. Guaranteed NY Times best seller using public funds and Bernie gets royalties.
2. Buy the books, donate to library, take tax write off.
3. Containers of them lost at sea but covered under General Average insurance claims.
@mattvanswol@Rep_Stansbury She is catering to her base. I lived in New Mexico for years. The state is pro immigration but ironically the economy there is so poor immigrants don’t want to stay in NM.
The NM born often referred to their state as “A third world nation sandwiched between the US and Mexico.”
Fuentes suggestion that people mad at Republicans should vote Democrat is idiotic.
If you’re mad at the cops, you don’t vote for the criminals.
You hire different cops.
