I don't care what the Constitutional law experts say. There's a massive flaw in the Constitution when someone this fuckin crazy gets to act this fuckin crazy for this fuckin long. 25th amendment, my ass. We should never be held hostage like this. Once we get this corrupt motherfucker out of office, a system needs to be set in place so this kind of bullshit can NEVER happen again.

Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this. I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes. If you averaged $30K per year over your working life, that's close to $180,000 invested in Social Security. If you calculate the future value of your monthly investment in social security ($375/month, including both you and your employers contributions) at a meager 1% interest rate compounded monthly, after 40 years of working you'd have more than $1.3+ million dollars saved! This is your personal investment. Upon retirement, if you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $39,318 per year, or $3,277 per month. That's almost three times more than today's average Social Security benefit of $1,230 per month, according to the Social Security Administration. (Google it – it’s a fact). And your retirement fund would last more than 33 years (until you're 98 if you retire at age 65)! I can only imagine how much better most average-income people could live in retirement if our government had just invested our money in low-risk interest-earning accounts. Instead, the folks in Washington pulled off a bigger "Ponzi scheme" than Bernie Madoff ever did. They took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity! Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government. Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income. 😡😡😡✅

After 37 years of marriage. Jake dumped his wife for his Young secretary. His new girlfriend demanded that they live in Jake and Maggie’s multi million dollar home and since the man’s lawyers were a little better he prevailed. He gave Maggie his now ex-wife just 3 days to move out. She spent the 1st day packing her belongings into boxes and suitcases. On the 2nd day she had the movers come and collect her things. On the 3rd day she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining room table by candlelight put on some soft background music and feasted on a pound of shrimp a jar of caviar and a bottle of Chardonnay. When she had finished she went into each and every room and stuffed half-eaten shrimp shells dipped in caviar into the hollow of all of the curtain rods. She then cleaned up the kitchen and left. When the husband returned with his new girlfriend all was bliss for the first few days. Then slowly the house began to smell. They tried everything cleaning mopping and airing the place out. Vents were checked for dead rodents and carpets were cleaned. Air fresheners were hung everywhere. Exterminators were brought in to set off gas canisters during which they had to move out for a few days and in the end they even replaced the expensive wool carpeting. Nothing worked. People stopped coming over to visit. Repairman refused to work in the house. The Maid quit. Finally, they could not take the stench any longer and decided to move. A month later even through they had cut their price in half they could not find a buyer for their stinky house. Word got out and eventually even the local realtors refused to return their calls. Finally they had to borrow a huge sum of money from the bank to purchase a new place. The ex-wife called the man and asked how things were going. He told her the saga of the rotting house. She listened politely and said that she missed her old home terribly and would be willing to reduce her divorce settlement in exchange for getting the house back. Knowing his ex-wife had no idea how bad the smell was he agreed on a price that was about 1/10th of what the house had been worth, but only if she were to sign the papers that very day. She agreed and within the hour his lawyers delivered the paperwork. A week later the man and his girlfriend stood smiling as they watched the moving company pack everything to take to their new home…. Including the curtain rods! 🤣

And I will never, EVER, get passed that How any motherfucker can put that aside & listen to anything he has to say, baffles the fuck out of me

I still can't believe this happened. Last night I got to meet two amazing guys that I have been fans of for decades - MATT DAMON and BEN AFFLECK. They came to the CRIME 101 premiere and they were kind enough to take a moment with me. Pretty awesome moment for me!

Bad Bunny walked out in a #64 jersey with “OCASIO” on the back. Not Bad Bunny. Not Benito. His real name. His family name. Then he grabbed the mic and said: “My name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. And if today I’m here at the Super Bowl, it’s because I never, never stopped believing in myself.” In Spanish. No translation. Even the jumbotron was in Spanish. And I watched the whole thing with a translator on. Because the message was that important to me. They said he was “un-American.” They said nobody would understand him. They said having him perform was “ridiculous.” And he SHOWED OUT! He brought out Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. He staged a wedding on the field. He recreated a bodega. He gave us a whole scene of family and love. He humanized an entire culture on the world’s biggest stage. All in his native language. And he didn’t flinch. His lyrics were clear messages: “They want to take the river from me, and the beach too. They want my neighborhood and for my grandma to leave.” “I should have taken more photos when I had you. Hopefully my loved ones will never move.” And that last line: “Ojalá que los míos nunca se muden.” Hopefully my loved ones will never move. That’s about families being separated. Forced to leave. Displacement. Yeah, he didn’t chase the mainstream. He made the mainstream come to him. He put his family name on his back and told 120 million people exactly who he is. And I’m here for ALL of it!👏🏽
