If TS posts are Trump it follows that the racist offensive Obama post WAS Trump.
Q: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover
LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.

A lot of the problematic discourse about pensions stems from imagining that they are like special food you can bury and then just eat when you stop working and get old. Pensions are not this, they are claims on the labour of people still working when you decide to quit.
