@georgetakei The way American welfare works is if your accountant says you're a billionaire the government just takes your word for it and you don't have to pay taxes

@georgetakei Anyone who has ever tried to get on social services, even for a single month, knows so much better than this. It is terribly hard to get any services, and then you only get services for a limited time. And during that time, you have to repeatedly jump through hoops, And it doesn't matter if you missed a hoop because you were sick or you missed a hoop because you were in an auto accident or you missed a hoop that they forgot to tell you you had to jump through if you miss a hoop the money stops. And the first thing you have to prove is citizenship. The second thing is residency. And I don't remember what the other 47 things you have to prove are. But there's a lot of them. And it's not easy. And either this guy is totally ignorant, or he doesn't care about the truth. Or both.

@georgetakei All from a man that has never filed for SNAP or Welfare.

@georgetakei If anyone thinks this is true, I challenge you to try it.

@georgetakei The only "Miller -ies" I'll accept is if it's preceded with a D.

@georgetakei

I guess they better start building a courthouse here ( if they haven't got one yet )

Better be prepared for the influx...

@georgetakei if Hillbilly Elegy is to be believed the author sitting next to Miller knows this is not true. But Vance is playing a different character now

@georgetakei He's banking on most people not having had to resort to the miserly and grudging pittances that most "welfare" systems offer.

@georgetakei would have been great if that statement had elicited standing ovations

@georgetakei If this was true, Trump would have been doing it.

@georgetakei for someone who has never been on any “public welfare” before (besides being the worst human being that is still alive) he really has no clue how it really works 😾

I am well aware that it’s mostly him trying to push forward “propaganda” that he wants the “followers” to believe, but really I’m continually disgusted by this creature 😾

@georgetakei
Miller spouts a total lie here.

@georgetakei It’s been 35 years since I had to get food stamps and I only got 3 months for the 3 kids and I. Required THREE appointments and each one requested yet other proofs.

The last appointment I had to show proof I was working 3 jobs and thus was excused from “community work” for extra 20 hour per week. The process has not changed: designed to make people give up and not complete it. Thus money is saved, right? NO ONE goes through the degrading treatment unless they really need it.

I think my state has a clause that if you get it for part of a year you can’t get it again for another 3 years.

@georgetakei "Stephen Miller is full of shit" is a well established fact, and it's always true...

@georgetakei None of these people who blab about how "illegals" etc. are getting all these freebies has ever gone to a state website and tried to go through the request process. Hard enough if you're a native speaker of English doing the application on a PC.

@georgetakei

I grew up dirt poor. I’m talking about sneakers that looked more like sandals, with my toes sticking out of them — type poor.

As a child, I remember how fearful and annoyingly frustrated everyone felt, wondering if we would be kicked off assistance because there were so many terms and conditions used to remove people in desperate need. It was sickening.

So this idea that they just take anyone who asks — for those who know the system and have experienced it — is insane.

#LiarsGonnaLie in #Trumpistan. EVERY SINGLE WORD. #fascistwannabe. @georgetakei

@georgetakei
But truth would spoil the story. Don't expect it from any person in 47's administration. Even if they know it, they'll never speak it.

@georgetakei

Well Trump has been president for 5.5 of the last 9.5 years so I guess it's mostly his fault (if it happened to be true).

How did DOGE miss this?

@georgetakei

This is such an obvious lie. It's so stupid

@georgetakei Their disinformation is part of their power game.
