Just curious is it the rich people that will benefit from no taxes on tips and OT or is it the people on the Left side of the useless graph Plow Guy used???

Hmmm, wrestlestat has Rutgers winning 20-14 but has Oliveri over Vombaur and Catka teching hopke. I got Volk over Freshman 125 that idk anything about 3-0 Shawver over Cannon 3-3 Vombaur 6-3 Clark over Roberts 6-6 Millard over Harer 9-6 Sparks over Barbosa 12-6 Pinto bonus whiting 12-10 McEnelly bonus SCA 16-10 Nelson over cotton 19-10 Catka over hopke, maybe? 19-13 Idk Rutgers has never beaten Minnesota I don’t see that changing this year. Granted, the odds of Minnesota rolling out this lineup full of starters for many duals this year are slim so we may never find out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes- All the noise about foreign wrestlers taking the places for indigenous athletes, coming from Bulgaria does seem to have gone quiet which is understandable. If you have some current reigning Olympic champions albeit trained elsewhere, it makes much sense to let them get on with it specially if the ranks of home grown talent are not at the same level. Although in the long run it will make it more difficult to recruit others.... but perhaps that was the point.

For dual purposes? Rutgers is salty. I don't see Minny beating Iowa, Nebraska, or Ohio State - if full starting lineups are there. Rutgers/Michigan might be able to sneak one. Also, I did say might need to combine 4/5.

Thank you for admitting the chart you posted was misleading. Kinda interesting to me that you don’t mind sharing an unsourced chart but then in a different thread complained about a link to the NY post which contained other sources. I agree the tariffs will be a bad thing for most Americans. I’ve also said previously that I did not like the spending increases in the bill such as on the defense budget. But the tax portion of it doesn’t seem bad. And I feel pretty confident in saying that if the 2017 cuts expired that most of America who would see their paychecks go down would not be happy about that.

For the same reason the idiots protesting did. To hide their identities. They’ve worn masks in all the cities they’ve been in. Even the ones without smoke. Bahahahahhahahaha

Oops. Probably 7.

Oh ok I see some screenshots on Minnow’s fb group from HVI of a post claiming to be from Beau. Looks like the thread is gone from HVI though

When you’re having a “discussion” with a kindergartener you have to adapt to their abilities.

So in Chicago when the protestors wore masks with no smoke from fires they did it why? Ring that bell in your feeble antifa wokester mind.

Why would he stay? He graduated.

Maybe I missed it but I don’t see this being discussed anywhere. Where is this coming from?

I see that Indiana is on a none existent Tier someplace.

...or so he says. And then, unlike any other president ever, goes to great measures to conceal his financial information. Almost like a big fat criminal liar. Well... let's be honest. Exactly like a big fat criminal liar. (BTW, I don't think all R's are bad - just the big fat criminal liar one. He's obviously bad. And the rest know it.)

Don't be silly. It's not "my work" simply because you asked me to do it. (That's a trend I've seen around here that I'd like to see go away soon.) A few things: NOBODY knows where the hell the tariff impact is going - it's guesswork at this point (One thing we do know is that a tariff war is never a good idea, yet here we are.) That is the very cause for so much stock/bond market uncertainty and the very cause for alarm Dozens more charts won't help - the future is uncertain with the incompetent Trump admin at the helm ... and YES, the tax cuts have an additional negative effect. And YES, they primarily benefit the wealthy, and YES, they should be the first thing to be deleted The spending bill needs to be killed ASAP. No tax cuts, no SALT, no Golden Dome, no more political bullsh** Let's start to work to pay down the debt. That will help us all. No more handouts to the wealthy.

That's fair. In terms of left-leaning or right-leaning, I think society is finally starting to come to grips with the reality that the majority isn't on either side. The majority is most likely in the middle 70% or so. Let's hope that trend continues. All of the energy spent on promoting team-red or team-blue on social media wasn't actually spent on anything other than to convince us all we're divided far more than we actually are. And much of that energy was foreign state sponsored. The next battle will be to convince people that foreign state sponsorship is real, that foreign states are heavily involved in attempting to divide our country, and that our government shouldn't choose to ignore this threat. In the current whirlwind of conspiracy theories - that battle will likely go unnoticed by most. Make no mistake, the Russians and Chinese have mastered manipulating their citizens decades ago. It is new to us, and we think we aren't vulnerable. The opposite is true. We have proven that we are. We continue to fight amongst ourselves as if we are enemies, while the true enemies continue to sharpen their manipulation skills.

I’m saying my taxes would go up if they simply let the 2017 cuts expire. As would the majority of the country’s, IIRC. So no, you’re not going to share the source for the chart? Ok I guess I’ll do your work for you. Here ya go: https://americansfortaxfairness.org/gop-fiscal-plans-raise-costs-americans/ They’re lumping in both the tax changes AND tariff impact, and admit that the red is caused by the tariff impact, not the tax cuts (and I agree the tariffs are bad for consumers): “whatever tax cuts they get under the Republican budget will be overwhelmed by higher costs caused by the Trump tariffs.”

I'm only 15 minutes in, but I'd love to hear the thoughts of a non-wrestler (or someone completely unfamiliar with the sport). Would they recognize the absurdity of her goal/journey etc., or view her as a legitimate participant (an underdog, but someone who's at least prepared enough to win a few matches)? Would they realize her story wasn't really worth telling (at least not her wrestling story)? That she hadn't earned the opportunity to scrap with a wrestler like Mallory Velte, and even further, that her "holding her own" would actually have devalued the sport itself. I'm also curious how this came about. Did she finance it, and hire a film crew etc., or did someone actually meet her and decide her story was worth telling? Because as uninteresting as her wrestling "journey" really is, the film crew is clearly very competent. At a glance, this was as well made a documentary as any I've seen. In fact, the early U.S. Open wrestling sequences were incredible. From the camera angles to the sound mix, I'm not sure I've ever seen wrestling appear so viscerally violent. Finally, Eve herself is much less delusional than I expected. She doesn't pretend to be better than she is (at least not in the 15 minutes I've seen), nor does she seem to think she's better than she is. She seems to know she's going to get steamrolled at the Open, and even mentions she's only going because she couldn't find an online fight or submission grappling opponent that weekend.

If you’ve seen my other posts, I often disagree with most people that would consider the NY Post a trustworthy source in general. But I like to post links from there if it can prove them wrong, because they would often just dismiss the evidence if it was from a left-leaning source. But generally speaking I’ll read almost any source, and look at each article individually. If the article sources it’s claims, preferably to primary sources, as this one did, then I’ll generally find it trustworthy.

The thing is that dopes like you always think you are in a much higher earnings bracket than you actually are. If your taxes go up, it's because you are on the left side of the graph. And - this is important - it may be time to rethink how those on the right side of the graph keep getting wealthier and wealthier (by a large margin) while people like you continue to make excuses for them as if you were on that right side. Trump was elected president by these very same people. Voters still poor as dirt, watching Trump and others get rich as hell. Trump isn't taking any regular people up with him - just making the already rich even richer. Yet you fight for those rich bastards. Why? I'll never know.

Maybe do some research before spouting off. No narcotics or weapons charges. The only charges are “conspiracy to transport aliens” and “unlawful transportation of undocumented aliens.” Based on the traffic stop video, that’s probably all they have a shot at. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.tnmd.104621/gov.uscourts.tnmd.104621.3.0.pdf Interestingly, there are 6 co-conspirators listed, but only Abrego Garcia is being charged. They even claim one of the co-conspirators (but not Abrego Garcia) was involved in the incident where 50 migrants died in a truck! But no charges about that, weird. Feels political, will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I was recommending that everybody find their own trustworthy news sources (because nypost.com is not one.) Always good advice. What I wasn't asking for is for some dope to give me links I didn't ask for and aren't interested in. Run along, son.

What is the source for this chart? I know how I would feel if I pay a certain amount in taxes now, and that amount goes up. I’d consider that an increase. Wouldn’t you?

That's little more than semantics bullsh**. The actual cuts or not shouldn't be mixed in and confused with how you predict the media will interpret them. You're obviously already in over your head. Trying to predict the future of the media reaction is many steps too far. Stop. Here's the chart again - show us all how you think these cuts "hugely benefit the middle class" Feel free to ask if you need help with the word 'quintile' HINT: The middle class are the ones in the middle (look for the word "Middle"), and NOT the (3) on the right. The proposed cuts do HUGELY benefit the wealthy. We really don't need more of that. Instead, let's axe those tax cuts to the wealthy. And let's work to start paying down the debt. That will help us all.
