...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.

Lol. They didn’t just make it up, dope. And even the NY Post credited the Independent with first reporting it https://www.khq.com/news/court-docs-travis-decker-planned-relocation-to-canada-days-before-daughters-found-dead/article_8348a073-9d15-41ee-8b1a-183182ed9581.html https://www.yahoo.com/news/google-searches-move-canada-cited-221313205.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9kdWNrZHVja2dvLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALd7xuSatVq_7kEWNTOK_2wh7vMByQkSupFTlThZvX8MnD3_vLuG1v4B5UT5A_brBdhWGyZ9KIgWUWE27t_sgXX24VZeK-C-yKK-2gWtRRfSKbou9qHj-5oacLJcF-kO8Y81FP0Bc-es7u-lkSyt6FFU_FM72Hu33tIDPTVv94VF https://komonews.com/news/local/travis-decker-wenatchee-leavenworth-murder-sisters-daughters-federal-charges-pct-closed-canada-chelan-county-manhunt-icicle-creek-okanogan

Musk is the guy who, for months, had FULL ACCESS to every federal department in the country. And who downloaded every bit of information that was accessible. Every single bit and took it with him. Bombshell: For me and others who sounded the alarm bell and warned you that it could be bad... we were right... and it could get worse. Much worse. Trump sent Musk packing when his other mega rich supporters (and their lawyers) realized Musk was getting a step up on them and everyone they were associated with. Even the mega rich are sometimes slow on the draw. Oh - and another Bombshell: Yes, there is no reasonable doubt that Musk has access to the Epstein files. (Don't forget that DOGE is still operating - even if Elon isn't around.) It just leaves one question: If you give a guy the keys to the kingdom, and then wonder how he has access to everything - how smart are you?

Because like I said earlier, I can guarantee you if they let the 2017 cuts expire then the MSM would frame it as “Trump raising taxes on the majority of Americans!” Which honestly I’d agree with. I don’t agree that extending something that’s already in place is really a “cut.” And the 2017 cuts did hugely benefit the middle class in terms of their taxes paid.

...but I do hope SNL might. Even the totem poles took offense to her stupidity:

Good lord, I hope so.

If anybody is gullible enough to actually believe anything from nypost.com then - it is there. IMO, search on a trustworthy news source before you read crap posted by a dope who refences a dopey web site.

Already asked and answered for you, sick dude. I get it if your brain is tiny and warped. But it's already been posted. Maybe it'll ring some bells if I post some key words... masks, fires, health, smoke. (And, yes, the guys rolling up in military vehicles wore masks too - give me your expert opinion on why that was.)

You were just arguing about the level of smoke in your area like an adult. Now you've switched to posing as a maniacal kindergarten teacher. You a sick dude.

Except that... that's not AT ALL what she said. They were not part of this federal operation. Period. None at all. Full stop. You are 100% wrong and posting like a complete sh*t for brains. Just another in a long list...

Serious answer. It's simple. These are tax cuts for the very wealthy. Robin Hood in reverse, taking more from the poor to pay the rich. You argue that extending the 2017 tax cuts isn't the same as new tax cuts? That's a silly argument. The 2017 cuts expire. If they are to be 'extended' it is essentially the same as new cuts. You pretend to be ignorant of this. IMO, that's considerably worse than actually being ignorant.

In short, the Nazis were not socialists but in name only.

Evidence of Nazi persecution of socialists: Outlawing socialist organizations: The Nazi Party outlawed socialist and communist parties, dissolved trade unions, and arrested or killed their leaders and members. Targeting of socialist leaders and members: Prominent members of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and Communist Party (KPD) were arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps. This included individuals like Ernst Thälmann, leader of the Communist Party, and Rudolf Hilferding, a leading theorist of the Social Democratic Party, both of whom were killed. Concentration camps: Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp, was specifically built to imprison political opponents, including communists, trade unionists, and social democrats. Violence and intimidation: Nazi forces, like the SA (Sturmabteilung) and Gestapo, targeted and persecuted socialists, communists, and others who opposed the Nazi Party, leading to violence, arrests, and murders. Suppression of opposition: The Nazis' actions against socialists and other political opponents effectively eliminated organized opposition to their regime, solidifying their power and establishing a one-party dictatorship. Nazi rhetoric against socialism: Hitler and the Nazis often used the term "socialism" in their party name, the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), but their ideology differed significantly from traditional socialism. They rejected Marxist concepts of class conflict and internationalism, instead promoting a form of "national socialism" that aimed to create a racially pure society based on racial hierarchy and nationalism. Hitler aimed to discredit and dismantle actual socialist movements, portraying them as enemies of the state.

I'm not on Tik Tok. Caveier post about someone cashing on "their lies," and all it was was a video saying...we should be less partisan. That was it 47 seconds, less partisan, that's what my book is about. BUT...then it went to the next video... as it does and I found this absolute gem. "What was we ranked Nationally in 1979." Very basic Math...English, soft ball questions that she couldn't even get a piece of!
