This is exactly the kind of behavior trump has fomented. It's not good for the country.

Maine service cuts: SSA acting chief's regret over brief pause​

WASHINGTON, D.C., USA — The acting head of the Social Security Administration has admitted in a report published by The New York Times that he briefly ended key services in Maine as political retaliation following a public clash between Gov. Janet Mills and President Donald Trump.
In an interview published by The New York Times, acting commissioner Leland Dudek said he canceled a long-standing program that allows hospitals to help parents apply for their newborn’s Social Security number — a service known as Enumeration at Birth — because he was upset with Mills after a White House exchange over transgender athletes in high school sports.

Leland was given the job, temporarily, in the first place is because of his undying fealty to a man who inexplicably inspires blind obedience beyond all reason. I'll never understand why.

Whether you agree with Gov. Mills or trump over their dustup, the impulse to exact revenge against the citizens of ME as a proxy for Mills displays an irrational level of devotion that is harmful........and just what Don wants. Does anyone doubt when trump learned of what Dudek did he was thrilled over having his ego stroked when he should have disciplined Leland. This kind of stuff is abnormal and has no place in a democratic republic. You trump fans know that, right?

 

[ColonelAngus]

Oh noes.

A pause in some payments and saving BILLIONS IN FRAUD.

STOPPING the fraud may just save social security.

OP’s concern and outrage is fake.

Simple TDS to want FRAUD and waste to continue unfettered.

If it doesn't affect the flock, they don't care.

They're not only indifferent to our former international friends and allies, they're indifferent to other Americans.

They couldn't care less. This is who they are.

 

[Billiejeens]

"This is who they are."

For the slow learners -

Yes, it is.

There is a connection on an emotional/psychological level between trumples and Dotard I've never been able to define. As though he is their crazy Uncle Donald who acts in unacceptable ways but they still adore him. And would do anything for him. And vehemently defend him against any and all criticism.

I wonder if I could explain to leftwingers why people follow Trump. It's because he's the ONLY politician in generations who has done exactly what he promised to do when campaigning. He's the ONLY one who promised to dismantle wokeness, the deep state, and wasteful spending. And he's the only one doing it. It's authenticity. That's the reason. No other politician is like that. Trump is not beholden to any group. Every other politician is. I hope you understand now.

I went a LONG time before I would call it a cult. Now, there are just too many similarities and effects. It is what it is.

One of the characteristics of a cult is the Stockholm Syndrome.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Again. The lefties do not actually care. They are just suffering from TDS.

THEY CRY THAT SOCIAL SECURITY MIGHT DIE, BUT DO NOT WANT TO CUT WASTE AND FRAUD?

Huh?

Makes no sense.

 

[SeaMajor7]

The NARRATIVE du jour.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

indifferent to other Americans?.....which party are you talking about?....

Changing the subject when the discussion reveals the idiocy of the Trump Cult. Nice try asshole.

There is no evidence of "BILLIONS IN FRAUD". But there is evidence of Trump's retribution and revenge against anyone who disagrees with him - on anything.

 

[ColonelAngus]

You lefties need to be honest with yourselves as to why you want waste and fraud in government.

Can you be?

I know the reason. Can you admit it?

Waste, fraud and abuse is a lib democrat gravytrain

You deep thinkers keep overthinking this.

Post 6, from Mashmont, explains it all in simple terms and it's all you really need to know.

Trump is not beholden to any group. Every other politician is. I hope you understand now.

It is more than that. Despite their wailing and gnashing of teeth regarding government services, not a single citizen will lose a benefit. However:

• The right has been clamoring for smaller government for decades, and the GOP has been too spineless to do what is right.
• The right has been screaming at how poorly treated America is on the international stage, and the GOP has been too concerned with lousy press over doing what is right for America.
• The right has been screaming that government is overreaching its authority into the lives of the citizens, and the GOP has been too spineless to reign in both the lower courts and the administrative state.

Trump is reigning in the administrative state, the activist judiciary, and reducing the cost of government and spending. In addition, the European snobs who have treated Ameica like shit are now screaming that they are getting that same treatment right back into their faces all while we are disentangling ourselves from European wars.

That is why a large majority of Americans are supporting Trump.

 

[berg80]

It's because he's the ONLY politician in generations who has done exactly what he promised to do when campaigning.

Let's put aside the erroneous claim you made and how you could possibly still believe it. Help me understand why that belief compensates for his personal and political shortcomings. I know you don't need me to list the personal side of things. The lying, the stealing, the crimes, they are all beyond dispute.
But what about the political? The incompetent staff, the recklessness, the harmful policies, the damage to international relations, the flip flopping, the idiocy of tariffs. Please explain how you can overlook all of it under the misguided guise that he's a man of his word?

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

You lefties need to be honest with yourselves as to why you want waste and fraud in government.

Can you be?

I know the reason. Can you admit it?

Trump is the epitome of waste and fraud.
It's a lifelong career for him.

They

Do


Not

Care


At least until it affects them personally. At which point it will be all the fault of Dems… somehow

One of the characteristics of a cult is the Stockholm Syndrome.

I had been one who believed cultish devotion required some degree of personal contact with the cult leader. But I suppose that requirement is covered by Don's omnipresence on TV.
