It’s my own personal duty, as an individual citizen, to be the fact checker. Don’t need anybody else doing the thinking for me.

If you think that only elderly people who paid into SS are the only people using it, you would be HORRIBLY WRONG.

To all the talking heads: Social Security IS NOT AN entitlement, it is an EARNED BENEFIT. A benefit people pay for from their first job to their last! Why do you all dutifully use the right-wing talking point term? Are you all one and the same? If not, clean up your act!

Will they fact check these stories?
• Graduated top of class, full-ride scholarship with 3 degrees
• Top of law class, voted best law student
• Turned down Naval Academy appointment
• Coal miner, truck driver
• Goldstar parent
• Uncle was a recon pilot in WW2
• Same uncle (that was a ground crewman in WW2) was eaten by cannibals after being shot down
• Marched during the civil rights era
I could go on for pages.

Question… the dude says Fact Checking Trump is nearly impossible and then he follows up with “The man lies a lot”. Shouldn’t Fact Checkers have a plethora of facts to work with?? Yet it’s impossible? What a clown 🤡🤡🤡🤡

[eagleear]

Social Security is NOT AN ENTITLEMENT! STOP CALLING IT THAT WAY!

[Harib_Al-Saq]

They got rid of the option to report them for misinformation. 😂

[oppressedspeakeroftruth]

Tonight's debate features Donald Trump vs Joe Biden and the main stream media 😂

[Mkj]

Why does he need so much help if he isnt compromised?

[TheAndrewRousselJourney]

It's a good thing that you guys can't see how many thumbs down you end up with

[kenwang]

The way the clown smiles is disgusting.

[brendanreich]

Another thing I think we’d expect trump to say is bidens handling of Ukraine and Palestine.

[fungoorstitch]

People aren't talking about ending Social Security and keeping what people have already paid in. They're talking about cashing everyone out and ending the program itself. It's a scandalous idea however you slice it.

[CMD]

Biden should create an account on “Truth” Social, and just fact check Trump 24/7 on there.

[AverageJoe]

Who fact checks the “ fact checkers “ ?

[roejogan]

Social security isn’t intended to be an insurance fund it’s supposed to be a personal lockbox.

[jerc]

Don't you mean getting all the questions and getting coached on what to say? Dems can't do anything unscripted.

[LogicAndReason]

The only way to make medical insurance better and cheaper is with Medicare for All. The bigger the risk pool, the lower the cost per person. Simple math.

[jonathanchartrand]

Why isn't Biden focusing on Democracy? That should be the most critical issue. Losing Democracy is the end of America.

[oppressedspeakeroftruth]

The side that calls everything a conspiracy...fact checks Trump 🤭😂 you can't make this stuff up
