Everyone has gone on and on about social security going under by 2030, so he is just making sure people are secure now instead of waiting. The politicians have been robbing that fund for generations, they will just have to pay it back sooner.

....

Agree 100%!

Agreed! If we are tired of all the crap, imagine how he feels!

I understand your concerns - but he did have quite a lot to say about Kamala - being such a poor VP candidate.

I am hoping Dr Atlas will be tasked with explaining to the American people that 165k Americans and counting have NOT died of Covid19!

The number is wildly inflated due to the politically motivated practice of counting any death WITH China virus as a death FROM China virus.

Fauci and Birx have admitted this is happening - they have even boasted that they encourage it because it incentivizes people into comply with their guidelines.

The American people are owed an explanation and I think Dr Atlas would be the perfect man to deliver it - and repeat it each day until it gets drilled into people’s heads - that they have been the victims of a fear-mongering campaign.

People deserve to hear an honest debate amongst doctors and scientists regarding what is a reasonable estimate of the true deaths FROM China virus.

I would bet the ranch it is less that a fifth of the number gleefully being reported by the fake news each night.

But why should I have to guess?
Why aren’t doctors and scientists being allowed to report the true number?

Could it be because the true (far, far lower) number would reveal that countless businesses and jobs were unnecessarily sacrificed, just because the Democrats could not let a good crisis go to waste?

The convention was originally supposed to be in Jacksonville, but our RINO mayor shot that down...even though they’d moved it outside with all the distancing anybody could want...because of the “demonstrators.” And then the Sheriff, at the mayor’s behest, came out and said they couldn’t possibly protect the attendees (even though the department had been given a huge chunk of change to hire more people for the event).

One of the problems is that there are RINOs even in the red states and they are almost worse than out and out leftist Dems.

I agree.

And he did a pretty good job of explaining how Biden/Harris will destroy the suburbs should they get in power.

THAT fact needs to continue to be stressed.

Yes and he said he may do his acceptance speech at the White House. The other choice is at Gettysburg.

Wherever it is, I hope his people will have supporters there as many as possible.

Removing the payroll tax does not mean removing the SS tax they are two entirely different deductions!!

They are one and the same.

The government will have to learn to budget without ALL of this quarterly money coming in!!!

One way is to end Social Security and Medicare. Try running on that.

Even people who i work with are not Trump fans are enthusiastic about this payroll tax holiday. And if this gets permanently removed, could sway some away from the Dems!

And when the Democrats paint it as a plan to end Social Security that will sway a lot more to the Dems.

Yep. I was mad at the way the RINO handled that, in Jacksonville.

I kept waiting for DeSantis to override or at least comment on the nonsense. Like offer state troopers, etc, for added security.

Nada, that I heard.

Will terminate payroll tax when he's re-elected

And has handed the Democrats an issue to hit him with - Trump will end Social Security and Medicare. Since he advocates ending their funding how does he fight that claim?

I think his top choice is the White House for security reasons and it is a majestic site. However, Nasty Nan is opposed and will try to stop it. The Gov of PA has already come out and put crowd restrictions on Gettysburg—of course, he did. Soooo he may be able to say—we have no choice but the White House. Winning!

It comes out of the general fund anyways...I remember Bubba specifically using the funds to pay the budget.

So then how does he pay for it? Before this Covid crap hit the federal government was on track to run a $1 trillion deficit this year. End FICA and Medicare taxes and that deficit now becomes $2.2 trillion. How do you pay for Social Security and Medicare now?

Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak. If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him.
