Can’t take it anymore.

I know it’s only been two weeks, but I have had to delete all of my news sources from my phone, for my own sanity. I don’t want to hear any news anymore. None of it is good. Every day is so much worse than the day before it! Just let me collect my pension, and you guys can keep the country. Turn it into whatever Christian Nationalist, autocratic , Xenophobic amusement park you want. Just deport me to any functioning democracy with sane leaders you want, and I’m good. I’ll even give you an Elon Musk “Roman salute” on the way out.

You really think they'll let you collect your pension once you leave? 🤣

@beckyromero if I take a lump sum, or keep a US bank account and draw from it.

Remember, Musk now has access to all your info via taxpayer data.

@beckyromero that doesn’t mean he can freeze the assets of my non-government pension.

@RockerDad

Yet. 🤔

Trump also has talked about taxing remittances sent out of the country.

RockerDad · MVIP

@beckyromero he’s going to have build his vanity wall pretty high to keep me in.

RockerDad · MVIP

You’d think he’d be thrilled if people like me left. He should offer us buyouts, like we are federal employees.

@RockerDad

That's probably in the pipeline: a Social Security buyout.

@beckyromero yes. I have a friend that moved to Brazil and is collecting a six figure pension and loving life. You can take your pension out of the country

Until the government says you cannot.

You conveniently have forgotten that Il Duce has already proposed taxing remittances of legally earned and already taxed income of American citizens and legal residents who wish to give a legal gift of tender to relatives living outside of the United States.

In fact, J.D. Vance had a bill in the previous session of Congress to do just that!
