Question... is there anyone on here who is a tax lawyer/a lawyer who understands government finance who would be willing to answer some questions for me about the nations social security? (Not gonna ask personal questions, sooooo far from retirement myself that it's looking like I'll die working)

This is incredible to witness. Sen. Glenn Grothman checks his notes, so he obviously planned to say these things —yet delivers a masterclass in being completely out of touch. This is exactly what people mean when they say their representatives don’t get it. Cringe!

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

The "lol libs can't take a joke" stuff about a nazi salute would carry at least a tad more weight if it didn't come from people who haven't understood a single movie satire in their entire lives. Not MUCH more though. They're still nazi salutes.
