this is a perfect ad for the Dems...trump's hate-filled sycophants may hate government in their lives but don't touch their social security and medicare..where they think these entitlements come from is anybody's guess...the orange imbecile wants to cut their benefits..robbing them of their social security check every month will piss them off..this has to be in their faces 24/7...their idiot man-child wants to take away their retirement...

I don't find this shit funny at all. Why not do a googly eyes when someone tells about not being able to afford cancer treatments without Medicare?

Not a fucking joke, not at all.

If I'm being harsh, let me know how I hurt your feelings, I will apologize.

like this one:

That's what I questioned. The googly face was a change they made later, which I acknowledged.

No SS tax in means no SS $$$ out. That didn't seem like a smilie occasion to me.

Why would my feelings be hurt?

Geesch...so much blather over a questioned emoji!

I should have directed that to the OP but between my fingers and my mind I screwed up. My fault entirely.

Please accept my apology. My post was not directed at you.
