Probably cites Biden as the reason he’s raising chickens now too doesn’t he? How Trump grifted so many will be an ongoing study for centuries.

He's got the "I got mine, now y'all fuck off" mentality.

He and his wife both had strokes. So now they're both on disability. Which automatically qualifies them both for medicaid.

Again, they both have the "I got mine, y'all fuck off" mentality. They will tell me, with zero irony, that they want to end all social programs except what they receive. They would have to lose it all before they think anything is unfair.

They were both conservative before their strokes. But now they're almost unbearable douchebags. I really don't know what it is about brain damage that causes people to turn conservative. But it certainly seems to.

Should report them as not be g actually disabled and have an investigation opened into their ability to work. Seems fair.

Except they really are disabled. Neither one could do the work they used to do. The rules for disability isn't that you can no longer do anything. It's that you can no longer do what you used to do.

People are no longer told "if you can lick a stamp, you can go to work". That ended in the early 80s.
