Half the MFs on Jan 6 were on Social Security, Workers’ Comp, Disability, Medicare, Medicaid, or a pension from a government job.

These antigovernment types never fail to cash a check. From the government.
True. And I wonder how many of them even have full time jobs. Must be all those personal days they get. I don’t understand. They don’t appear to be wealthy retirees. What I’m saving is how does one travel 300 miles to go to a trump rally and then manage to get back for work the next day? The simple stuff. Dysfunctional, middle-aged and really mad about something they can’t articulate. Their lives would have been so much better if they had stayed in the woods running around with paintball guns.
And of course the wives are doing what they can to keep the family together while daddy, with all his gear and weaponry is out playing ‘patriot’. The whole thing is pathetic and extremely selfish.

Thanks Emine Yücel for the reporting. I think many of us knew this demographic was expanding, but it’s nice to have the numbers.

You’re confusing Jewish space lasers and Italian satellites, a perfectably understandable thing. They’re among my favorite creations of the far right in Congress.

I don’t think they can distinguish. I just wonder which came first, the anti-government types in Congress, or the extremist “faction” of Republicans.

The economic ills we suffer have come upon us over several decades. They will not go away in days, weeks, or months, but they will go away. They will go away because we as Americans have the capacity now, as we’ve had in the past, to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom.
In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.

Pathetic is right. One of the reasons I kinda want them to kick off.
Remove the gloves and send these farts back to the holes from which they’ve gusted.

Thank you - I get more pithy with rage.
It won’t be bon mots I’ll be firing at these fuckers come the day.
Wow, nice turn of the phrase!
I can even sense the “gusting.” And I just got up. What’s that … feel a large gusting coming my way as well. You’ll have to excuse me.

I’m so old, I remember the 50’s. They were smaller then and most people were not listening or aware of their activities. Kinda like “rats feet over broken glass.” I think that then there were too many WWII vets around.

You forget that trump gave them a big tax break, as well as to the really wealthy. Thus, retirees’ income soared, allowing them to come to Washington and show how shitty their lives are.

I love this - never heard that analogy before. THANKS!

I’d be LOLing if I wasn’t crying about the truth of your post.

Distributed cognition or not, I’m reasonably convinced I don’t have an original thought in my head, but in this case I’m certain it’s borrowed; e.g., Seagull management - Wikipedia
But it’s a really good analogy none-the-less, particularly accurate wrt MAGA-Republicans like MTG and Gaetz
