"Social Security is like a Ponzi..."

No it's not. Please educate yourself (and Elon, while you're at it).

Social Security is an EQUILIBRIUM EQUATION. We know because it was operating at a surplus once Reagan changed the percentages.

We also knew it was going to go underwater right around 2012, no matter who was President. In fact, we saw it coming FIFTY YEARS in advance: it's called the Baby Boomer retirement.

And right now, if we added 1 point to the employer's side, and 1 point to the worker's side...the Social Security equation would be in balance for 75 years, which is what actuaries refer to as perpetuity.

Meanwhile, Ponzi schemes are always opaque, their formulas are always "trade secrets", and there is no way to bring a Ponzi scheme into balance. Social Security is NONE OF THOSE THINGS.

"...how does that view align with Due Process for the accused?"

Depends. What's the letter after the name?

" who the ---- are you to question who any of them hang out with ?"

Huh?

On another thread, you're basically claiming "who you hang out with" should be enough to get you banished to an El Salvadorian prison.

Do you think you could get one of your faces to talk to the other?

" says you and their momma.....not really enough for me."

Are you joking? I was being generous, giving you a 99% success rate.

Let's try 90%. Is that a good enough success rate for you?

" I can tell you sad sack / limp --- wimps in one word what they got ... justice....."

Now talk about the three innocent people caught up in the sweep.

"I enabled accountability"

Slashing first, and asking the salient questions later, is the polar opposite of accountability.

"I hope everyone gets rich"

That's not going to happen.

By design.

And you enabled the designers.

"I know it's still lower than a year ago"

Meanwhile, I'm up over 20% from a year ago. I don't have to make any excuses.

"and gonna take more than one weekend"

Will the Dow be up or down in 3 months? Will the dollar be worth more, or less?

I know which way I've bet.

"so far today Musk has 13 billion more than he had last week."

Now do last month.

"both Canada and Greenland are under the yoke of oppressive Western European governments"

Kind of like Gerald Ford...only dumber.

"Trump and Musk Are Running a Disinformation Campaign on Social Security"

Anybody who tells you Social Security is a Ponzi scheme...

...just admitted they don't understand the math behind Social Security, or Ponzi schemes.

"Auditing and attempting to reduce waste, fraud and abuse..."

Except the firings came BEFORE the "auditing".

Oops.

"They were convicted when they stepped across a country they arent a citizen of."

Don't look now, but you don't even have proof of THAT claim.

What percentage of false positives is okay in your book?

"it's not like it's hard to find Greenland "

Well, you know the saying...

Only 4 out of 10 Republicans could find Greenland on the map...

...the other 9 could not.

"I personally didn't elect Donald Trump."

You just personally enabled him, and the lackeys around him.

You're a slurper, awaiting whatever your Orange God craps.

"Could you remove the trucker from your mouth..."

Visitor seems to be the expert in these matters.

"You deflected to an argument you assume is unbreakable, like most liberals do."

You ran away instead of directly addressing the valid question, like most cowards do.

"You deflected to an argument you assume is unbreakable"

I notice you've yet to answer the direct question, directly. Are you broken? Or just can't handle the truth?

Hell, you can't even state your rate of acceptable losses, something EVERY leader in battle must address.

"....it wasn't about what I believe."

Amazing, how fast the goalposts can be moved!

"Howd that work out for you?"

So far, great. I got out of the markets October 8th. I've basically saved the price of a top-off-the-line Forester.

How's your 401k doing?

"If we get 99% of them right..."

Then three people banished to the El Salvadorian prisons were innocents, picked up because they "looked like" a banger.

Is that success to you?

'I don't play stupid liberal games.'

It's not a game, dumbfuq. It's life and death.

Every mission has to take possible errors into consideration. Why are you pretending this mission doesn't? Can't handle the truth?

What percentage of false arrests are acceptable, soldier?.

"Shut up Danforth."

Kiss my ass, Boaz.

Why don't YOU answer the question: What percentage of false arrests is acceptable to YOU, as an American?

"Promise a tax plan she knows has little chance of passing"

Don't be a dumfuq.

All she had to do was let the current one sunset.

"And you're imagining that doesn't happen."

Harris was public with a position diametrically opposed to Trump's.

Your theory assumes Harris was lying, while Trump was telling the truth.

Kind of silly, don't you think?
