"Instead of a safety net, how about concrete floor?" . . . Please come CAPTION PresiDented Trump!

[skip fox]

PresiDented Trump is saying: "Our economy is going gangbusters, the greatest in the history of the world. We're breaking old records almost every day. That's why it's a good time to look at Social Security and Medicare. . . . I mean, with such a great economy, why do we even need them?"

Above CAPTION based on the following story in Crooks and Liars:

1. Let them die on the sidewalks and in street gutters. At five am we can get out the fire hoses and..

... wash the dead carcasses into the sewage systems. This will give each day a nice clean fresh start.

Who wants to see or smell the rotting bodies of the poor falling dead on the streets ?

2. Democrats need to get this message out often and loudly to seniors.

The Party needs to message this in every ad they run this year. They've been planning on f'ing medicare and social security for a long time, and if the con gets reelected they're going to go full speed ahead to dismantle these programs.

3. He's saying the same thing he always says no matter what:

Toot toot, yeah, beep beep
Toot toot, yeah, beep beep
Toot toot, yeah, beep beep
Toot toot, yeah, beep beep

on and on ...

4. There are many fine charities that can do this work. I had a charity

and buhleeveme it did a lot of good for me.

5. Reporter: Mr President, What do you think about entitlement reforms and cuts. Are there any plans?

President: We're going to look at that. Yes, we're looking at it. At it we're looking. Very hard. Very closely. Very well.

Reporter: So, you are open to cutting social security.

President: What?

Reporter: Social security. It is a very expensive entitlment program. Many conservatives would like to see cuts to it.

President: Oh, right, right of course. Entitlement programs. Got you. I knew that. I did. We're looking at it. The economy is like, boom. Very big right now. A lot of people are looking at it from an economy prospective. We have a good one. Economy. A lot of people are saying that. So, we are looking at it from that angle. With the economy in mind. And how great it is again.

Reporter: I see. And medicare, you're going to pull the plug on grandma to save costs and help the economy?

President: What?

Reporter: Medicare. It is also considered an entitlement.

President: Oh, right, right, right. I knew that. We're looking at that. In the second term I'm going to look at that. Top people. The economy is big right now. Yuge. Very good. A lot of people are saying that. I talked to Robert Kraft and he said the economy is very big right now. So, we're looking into that. Very interesting idea. Could be very good. People see their 409s and it's like very big numbers they're doing. They are very happy. So, we might look at that and see if it makes sense from an economy.

7. Yes.

I could not figure out what a booming economy has to do with cutting entitlements, could you?

One would think the opposite: that a booming economy would be the time to fortify and extend both Medicare (which I love, by the way), and Social Security. Right/

6. The Democratic Party needs to show over and over from now to the election...

tRUMP clips and republican clips of them saying that Social Security and Medicare need to be cut or on the table for cuts.

Keep screaming it over and over until every Goddamned republican voter knows that voting for a republican means that they are bankrupting themselves into poverty. Every time tRUMP or a republican says different, bury them with the truth.

Keep repeating it until every single American knows that republicans are only out to destroy them.

8. That's one of the reasons I did a CAPTION thread on the statement.

CAPTIONs are always humorous and often timely. When we see something that needs better awareness, we CAPTION that. (That's why I note the source beneath the CAPTION: so people can get it first hand.

Q.E.D.: CAPTIONing may save the planet.
