More lies and fake news.

Millions of dead people aren't getting Social Security checks, despite claims

The Trump administration is falsely claiming that tens of millions of dead people over 100 years old are receiving improper Social Security payments

As if citing a Disney owned propaganda outlet changes something.

God these people are so stupid.

These are the people who wished to tank the economy and did to get power.

There cannot be any type of normalcy with this group. Everything is doomsday bullshit, fear mongering lunacy the moment something ain’t far left globalist utopia.

Democracy is only if they get their way. If they don’t then it’s “burn this mother to the ground” tantrums.

@sambowieshin doesn't care, just follows the outrage

Also, but muh Russia propaganda

 

[paulcalhoun]

Ill admit i had no idea it was quite like this. I knew our government was involved but i assumed they were middle managers for China. Had no idea a shadow government of the cia ran our country the last 60 years.

Old news to me. People like G Edward Griffin and Alex Jones documented all of this very well long ago. It is fantastic to see more and more people wake up to some of this.

Just saw Trump's poll numbers on Fox.com. They're starting to slide downward, which I'm sure he doesn't care that much about. But, of more concern to me was a couple of polls the article cited that had R's approval >90% and D's approval <10% with I's around 45% approval.

I would not have expected even reasonably bad numbers from the opposition party in these types of polls. I know that there is a huge divide between the two main parties but this is unhealthy. One side always disagrees with the other so the party in power is always going to be labeled as 'fascists' or 'anti-democracy' or 'would-be king' or 'Socialist/Communist', globalist, Far Left wacko, etc. The Dems will have their day again and you can bet they'll EO the country to death and push through a bunch of things that R's hate and then the polls will, once again, have a huge gulf between the two sides. It really does look like there are two entirely different countries inside the US now. One is hellbent on Socialism and open borders and 100% EV and identity politics to the nth degree while the other is pro Capitalism, pro life, sovereignty of the US, 'all of the above' on energy including fossil fuels, two genders, etc.

Our political system is very sick. There is no middle ground any more in US politics and that tells me the system is critically sick. There is no compromise possible when the two sides are miles apart. How and who can fix this problem is anyone's guess. But, it's not a healthy political system as designed under our Constitution to have the two main parties almost always 180 degrees apart on every issue. How can our government function and provide for the greatest good to the most US citizens if half of the population is totally opposed to whatever is happening on any issue?

It, this huge, seemingly unbridgeable divide, began, imo, with W. Bush, accelerated exponentially under Obama and has continued on a quite steep upward slope since. I believe this is bad for the country. Perhaps the only true solution is a major 3rd party that is truly centrist: left of center, typically, on social issues and right of center on fiscal issues (I realize there is always an overlap). Otherwise, we're so polarized now and becoming more so, there is no long term future for our present political system, imo. We'll eventually tear ourselves apart into two or more separate countries.

You are right and the solution isn’t going to be a third party. This entire system is completely effed and cannot be salvaged. Too corrupt, too big, no accountability, all of these people are bought and paid for and the true masters are globalist pedos/psychopaths.

But to your point, there is no longer any shared views and values. The left is so flipping insane and has went off the rails the last 15 years to the point of no return. You cannot have this polar opposite of views and expect anything short of a violent conflict. It’s inevitable.

We absolutely need to split as a country.

Agreed. I believe we are already in a civil war. It just hasn't turned into open physical conflict, yet. Eventually, one side will go too far (in the other sides eyes) and we will see this war escalate. I agree that we need to split but I don't think it will ever be allowed to happen. One side will ultimately win and the other side will essentially live in tyranny. I'd like to think the "conservatives" will win but our leaders, for the most part, are spineless. Libs will do whatever it takes because they are an evil, insane cult. It's tough to beat that when you won't acknowledge the truth of it.

"There is no evidence that millions of deceased individuals are fraudulently receiving Social Security benefits."

Are millions of dead people really receiving Social Security benefits?

The Trump administration claims that millions of people over 100 years old receive Social Security, but official data tells a different story.

Elon Musk ‘uncovers’ 20M in Social Security database over age 100 — here’s why they’re listed and don’t get benefits

Roughly 18.4 million Americans with Social Security numbers in a master database had not received benefits or reported income for 50 years, meaning they were likely dead, per a 2023 audit.

nypost.com

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/upshot/social-security-fraud-claim-musk.html

"However, “almost none” of the 18.9 million were receiving Social Security payments, the report concluded. Instead, only 44,000 people over 100 were getting benefits — closer to the actual centenarian population."

https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/elon-musk-social-security-fraud/

However, "almost none" of the 18.9 million Social Security number holders born in 1920 or earlier were receiving SSA payments, the 2023 report said, noting there were about 44,000 who were still receiving payments at the time of the audit.

'Vampires' in Social Security data? Here's what to know after Elon Musk claims SSA fraud

Elon Musk falsely claimed there were tens of millions of people aged 100-159 still receiving Social Security benefits.

No, 150-Year-Olds Aren’t Collecting Social Security Benefits

Elon Musk claims to have found rampant fraud in the Social Security Administration. There’s a much simpler explanation.

It is true that improper payments have been made—including some to dead people—but the claims thrown out by Elon Musk and Donald Trump are overstated.

You mean basically sources that either a) did not report the Hunter Biden laptop or b) said it was Russian disinformation

Awesome. Once again, a self own.

I clicked see ignored content cause I knew it was going to be laughable. The AP? Reuters? The BBC? All proven with receipts to have been funded by USAID? With Reuters getting money for a program specifically designed for “Large scale public deception”. Those are his sources.

Woke bought and paid for propaganda arms of tge state run media.

And there's no need to whine about socialism/communism, as this inflation is happening right now under capitalism. It's capitalism, not socialism.
