What’s the main purpose of the tax cut? Just to cut taxes, to kickstart economy, incentivize businesses for specific purposes, to help low wage earners, help out the wealthy? Some would, some would not. Also do you think taxes are already too high?


Does this include sending aid to countries like Ukraine? I’m not disagreeing with cutting the military budget at all.

Didn’t bring up border crossing?

3% of the 8% could be wiped away with a closed border. Add that to a 5% military cut and you hit the mark. Both sides would get something and you don’t cut the social spending, even though with the closed borders it would decrease the social spending naturally.

I hate immigration. Legal or illegal. im totally down with closing the border. I dont think taxes are too high. Im doing fine. As far as aid to ukraine, I dont want russia to invade countries to I think we should try to stop russia from doing so. I would rather help financially than with US soldiers on the front lines.

The 8% spending cut talked about in the Senator Kennedy clip was of Federal Spending while your Open Border Cost document says "The lion's share of that cost is borne by state and local governments" meaning the $150 billion is not Federal spending.

Secondly, a 5% cut in military spending does not equal a 5% cut in Federal spending because military spending isn't 100% of Federal spending. Math.

The easiest place to cut isn't military spending, which BTW is less than social security, Medicare, and cost to service the national debt. The easiest place to cut spending is to obey the US Constitution. Joe Biden has already given away $146 billion dollars in student loan forgiveness despite the Supreme Court saying he didn't have the power to do it, and he's got another $7.7 in process. The chief executive does not have the power of the purse. Student loan forgiveness represents $153.7 billion dollars in unconstitutional spending.

Lastly, it is impossible for the US to get out of debt by reducing spending. IMPOSSIBLE. That path is not possible. The vast majority of US government spending is mandatory. It cannot be cut. The mandatory spending is such that we cannot get out from under it even if we cut 100% percent of non-mandatory spending. The calls to cut military spending is a zombie argument from 50 years ago made by those who don't understand the budget.

The only way to reduce the Federal debt is to keep new spending constrained, get interest rates under control so debt service costs don't kill us, and grow the economy. That is it. That is the only way.

Sorry @Bucknutz. I normally see your logic but not in this one. In this, respectfully, I could not disagree more strongly.

Viktor Orbán to Meet With Donald Trump After Recent Meeting With Putin

The visit is likely to fan concerns that the Hungarian leader is working as an intermediary between the former U.S. President—and presumptive GOP nominee—and the Russian President.

My hunch is The Rapist meeting with the Hungarian dictator is about a Trump/Russia alliance to end the war in Russia's favor, with a quid pro quo of Putin helping The Rapist win the election and keep him in power as President as long as possible. Trump and Putin, true love always.

Trump probably has some classified documents he would like to share.

Trumps looking for ways to end the war that you bloodthirsty cult created. My goodness these guys are getting more violent by the minute. Obsessing about putting people against a wall and shooting them. Here's Biden introducing Zelensky as Putin in front of the entire world. But the cult don't care, they love destruction and death. Love it.

Today I learned that Micael Cohen went to prison, was let out of prison during the covid pandemic, and was sent back to prison because he wouldn't waive his ability to criticize Trump, who was president at the time.

Cohen, Trump's former attorney, served time after a federal judge in Manhattan sentenced him in 2018 to three years in prison for various crimes, including campaign finance violations, tax evasion and lying to Congress. He was released to home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic but sent back to prison after he balked at a condition of his release that required him to waive his ability to criticize Trump, who was president at the time. Cohen had been writing a book critical of Trump.
 
Today I also learned (through a work app) that I haven't been late to work in 16 years and haven't missed a day of work since April 14 2021 (other than pre approved PTO days)

Aussie bites, carrots sticks and the occasional Crown burger(s) for the win.

Indeed. Literally had both Aussie bites and carrots today on last break.
I added a daily smoothie (banana, strawberries, kale, protein powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, yogurt, and water) for breakfast everyday. Oh and a string cheese everyday with whatever I have for lunch (which varies).
Also usually have an apple on my second to last break.

Talk about a raging narcissist. My goodness. Yay you went to Crown, nobody cares outside of your cult following.

Anyways... I see Democrats are already starting to shift to blame Russia if Trump wins. From what I'm hearing people like fish will setup impeachment within the first few months claiming that Russia made Biden call Kamala Harris Trump and it was all fake. They are saying stuff like Biden saying his uncle was eaten by cannibals was all fake and made by Putin. Crazy thing is, you all will push this. Just watch.
 
Projection. Always projection. Like Trump: every accusation is a confession. Look at this absurdity. There’s the Big Lie. And another Big Lie tacked on, prepping for the chaos that only the MAGA Republicans could unleash. Projection. All they’re doing is preparing efforts to steal the 2024 election, just as Trump and his allies attempted in 2020.

Post Truth: this is the Republican approach now: lie, lie, and lie some more. Create your own reality, a reality that does not bear any relation to…..reality! Isn’t that what Trump does? Repeat a lie over and over until it becomes accepted in an endemic fashion. It gets baked in: oh, yeah, that’s right, Democrats cheat and steal elections.

Look at this: a made up narrative of Republican “Post Truth” politicking!! Creating a false reality and presenting it as the reason Republicans must prevent what is not happening by doing it themselves first!

The Big Lie: 2024 variant:

“Barbra Streisand kidnapped by Hamas. Antifa-BLM protesters taking over a migrant detention facility. The FBI arresting Donald Trump two days after winning the election.
These were among the far-fetched scenarios imagined by a simulation of threats to the 2024 election showcased on Thursday by the right-wing Heritage Foundation. The presentation, delivered at the foundation’s Washington headquarters, stated as a given that the Biden administration was already engaged in a sweeping conspiracy to use multiple forms of federal power to influence the presidential election. It did not supply any evidence.

Howell said the exercise would lead Heritage to file more litigation over election procedures. He also said it should help the public resist “psychological operations” that he claimed were used in 2020 and are being used again. He didn’t say who supposedly ran the operations.

“The upshot is that we will see a contested election the likes of which we’ve never seen,” said Adam Ellwanger, a rhetoric professor at the University of Houston-Downtown who helped lead the simulation. “If we see the kind of manipulations that we saw in 2020, I wonder if average Americans who are supporters of the president [Trump] will swallow that so easily as they did in 2020.”

 
Things like this happen when your only real policy is “own the libs”. You elect total nitwits. General antipathy in today’s world to many sources of authority/“received wisdom”. And it shows in so many areas. In History, in science, etc. Growth of Dunning-Kruger: folks who think they know more than they actually know. Or, when they are corrected, but resist correction to the hilt, Dunning-Kruger can be described as people who are too stupid to realize just how stupid they are. Sadly, now looks like this nitwit will be returning to the House this election cycle. We’ll certainly see more Dunning-Kruger among the Republicans “Post Truth, how do you like our fantasy narratives?” crowd:

Arent you the one pushing bat **** insane Qanon Project 69 conspiracies that you made up just to hate with a passion right leaning Christians? Just stop.

You are the guy that is voting for a president that just called Zylensky Putin and his own Vice President Trump. It's insulting that you want to point fingers. Extremely insulting. The entire world is laughing at you and all you have is some embarrassing crying about Boebert? The most embarrising part, as someone with a decent IQ is watching the lower IQ's say this was a good performance. Truthfully I doubt they even know that Trump is not the VP. I honestly don't even think they know that Zylensky is not Putin. The cult is crying about Boebert but stay silent when the moron they voted for don't even know who is own VP is.
