Radiorum Posted February 18 Report Posted February 18 You can’t win with MAGA because they don’t care whether they are wrong or right. They have abandoned truth in favour of the fight. All that matters to them is “getting” the other side. (I’ve seen this attitude in these forums.) That’s why they respond so favourably when Trump posts something hate-inciting like this: Jul 20th 2024 - 10:12:25 PM EST Quote Every time the Radical Left Democrats, Marxists, Communists, and Fascists indict me, I consider it a GREAT BADGE OF HONOR. I’m being indicted for YOU. Never forget—our enemies want to take away MY FREEDOM because I will never let them take away YOUR FREEDOM. They want to silence ME because I will never let them silence YOU. In the end, they’re not after me, they’re after you—and I’m just standing in their way! Consider Musk’s recent post below Musk’s claim that these people are collecting social security is so obviously untrue (to anyone with a grain of intelligence, which I assume Musk has) and easily disproved. Simple math with these figures shows that if these payments in the table were being made, Social Security would cost about $1 trillion dollars more a year than it actually does. The numbers just don’t work. So why is Musk lying? And not caring if he does? Because he knows MAGA will respond, without regard to whether it’s true or not. Musk baits MAGA, who will use this as ammunition in their manufactured “fight.” They don’t care if the numbers are wrong - just like they don’t care if Trump is a dictator. The outrage of the “other side” is the goal. (As one MAGA member here said – it’s about freaking them out.) Like Trump, Musk manipulates with lies, and it causes me great concern for the country that many are susceptible to this manipulation. 1 3 Quote

There is no manipulation or lies here. Musk made no claim that every single one of them were getting paid, what he said was that this was the table showing who had death set to false. Seems worth investigating to be sure how many of those may or may not still be getting paid and why they are marked this way. Nothing you posted shows that absolutely none of them are either, it just points out that clearly not all of them would be. Quote

User Posted February 18 Report Posted February 18 Just now, Radiorum said: All of my assertions have been well-supported. This is simply not true LOL. In just the last week almost every thread you and I have been in you have run away from me on when I called you out on this or you change the subject and make yet another baseless assertion instead.

Okay, your last accusation leveled at me was that I did not provide evidence that science was being hurled into chaos by Trump policy, but I had quoted and linked THREE separate articles saying just that. https://blog.ucsusa.org/pallavi-phartiyal/the-trump-administration-playbook-likely-to-target-science-and-scientists-were-ready-to-fight-back/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-trumps-first-days-say-about-science-in-the-new-administration/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-trumps-executive-orders-mean-for-science/ I don't know what your problem is, but it isn't me. 1 Quote

As I have repeatedly pointed out to you and others, posting a link is not an argument. It is not my job to pointlessly dig through a link hoping it proves whatever you claim. If there is something that link that backs up what you claim, then share it, make the argument. Also... pointing me to someone else making the same claim you are is not evidence either. Your first link was a blog. Quote

impartialobserver Posted February 18 Report Posted February 18 The table in the OP simply gives a count of folks in the SSN database that are aiive and could possibly collect benefits today, tomorrow, next week... Musk puts a spin on it so I can see how one misconstrues it. Quote

gatomontes99 Posted February 18 Report Posted February 18 After adding those numbers up and multiplying by 2,000 (the average monthly SS check) i came up with just $900B rounded up. The US spends $1.2T on SS. I doubt his numbers are massively wrong. Quote The Rules for Liberal tactics: If they can't refute the content, attack the source. If they can't refute the content, attack the poster. If 1 and 2 fail, pretend it never happened. Everyone you disagree with is Hitler. A word is defined by the emotion it elicits and not the actual definition. If they are wrong, blame the opponent. If a liberal policy didn't work, it's a conservatives fault and vice versa. If all else fails, just be angry.
