I tried not to make rules for this community but y'all wylin'. I'll keep it quick and to the point:

  1. Mildly biased headlines and articles are fine, but please do not share opinion pieces or strongly slanted articles here.

  2. Reporting content that does not break those rules prohibited.

  3. Baiting and drama farming is prohibited. If you're not sure whether or not you're in this category, ask yourself if what you're about to post or comment adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, or if you are trying to get a rise out of someone, make bad-faith accusations against one's character, etc. There's some leeway here because I have a sense of humor though, so don't let this rule scare you.

  4. Endorsing or supporting extrajudicial, nonexecutive or nonwar violence is prohibited.

  5. Using slurs is expressly prohibited.

  6. Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)

And we know that because you just made it up and we should believe you despite evidence to the contrary. You’re not a serious person

Where are the calls to kick elderly people off of Social Security then? Can you think of any off the top of your head?

Aren't they firing most people at the SSA? Who needs calls when they're already doing things to make it harder to get SS?

"doing things to make it harder to get SS" is not the same as trying to kick the elderly off of the plan, which is something the GOP has repeatedly opposed

We'll see what the fallout ends up being. Can't just slash the workers by 80% and expect things to go smooth.
