Social Security's acting leader faces calls to resign over decision to cut Maine

Based on your statement, apparently quite a lot.

This has never been about the kids, so quit with that bullshit.

All seven of them.

if the mind and the body are in disagreement, the mind is wrong.

if in your mind you are 6 but your body is 65, the mind is wrong.
if in your mind you are the biggest guy in the bar but you are only 4'11, the mind is wrong
if in your mind you are living in the 1950's rather than in a nursing home in 2025, the mind is wrong.
if the mind thinks that a finger that is cut off still exists, the mind is wrong.

name one time when the mind is right but the body is wrong.

Marine Corp Private Gcode, half way up Mount Motherfucker at Camp Pendelton.

The mind says
"We're climbing this goddamned hill"
The body says
"I can't"
Private gcode climbed the hill.

50 years later
The alarm clock goes off a 2:30 AM
The mind says
"Time to get up and go to work"
The body says
"I can't"
In case you're wondering, I'm typing this from work.

I'd shoot that alarm clock.

Because in politics you shouldn't interrupt your opponent doing stupid or in this case, insane stuff. Nobody agrees that putting a dress on a dude makes a dude a chick.
If that's the hill democrats want to die on, I'll pass the sword 🗡�⚔️
Comically stupid leftists🤣🤣🤣🤣
Tits on a bull🤣

The fact that this bothers you as much as it does, makes me wonder if you're not the crazy person. 

If you didn't watch the news, would you even know this was an issue? How much does this really affect your personal life?

I always suspected that you were a closet authoritarian pretending to be a libertarian.

If you didn't watch the news, would you even know this was an issue? How much does this really affect your personal life?

you could ask that question about almost every political issue, I suppose.

how much does racism affect your daily life? maybe none at all. should the issue be dropped? no because it does affect a portion of people.

how much does a broken pipeline affect your daily life, or i don't know, is climate change affecting you all that much right now? Do you see what I'm saying? there are all kinds of issues that are not really affecting me, but that doesn't mean that they aren't affecting a certain amount of people. At the same time, I can look at a teacher who doesn't use the preferred pronoun and gets fired or the baker who doesn't bake a cake and gets fined, and thinks, "this is eventually going to affect us all."

You can't ask that about these fucking tariffs.

By the way, I wasn't talking about policy, I was talking about his disdain for trans people.

Where in the news have you saw disdain for Trans people?

True. It happens to me too.
