Another 'nuh-uhh' response. What a surprise.

Best economy in 60 years.
Tax cuts that paid for themselves with record tax revenues.
Less than 2% inflation four years in a row.
Record increase in real wages. First increase in forty years.
Ten million lifted out of poverty.
Number of homeless increased by 16,800 over three years, versus a record increase of 73,000 over the past three years.
Record low unemployment across every demographic.
Got four middle eastern nations to sign peace and trade agreements with Israel. Something the eleven presidents who preceded him could not do.
Negotiated favorable changes in NAFTA.
Negotiated favorable trade agreements with other nations.
No fentanyl scourge. No 300,000 drug deaths.
A Covid vaccine in a record six months rather than years.
Closed borders. No eight million illegals pouring into the country, burdening taxpayers and cities who can't afford them.
No 23% cumulative inflation over the past three years.


Trump is a buffoon. Sabotaging his chances every time he speaks or posts.

But everything Tanko wrote is true. If COVID didn’t happen Trump would have cruised to second term. You have to choose between a bad man (Trump) or a bad for the country (any Democrat) President.

Harris just came out saying that tip income should not be taxed! (I think Trump agrees…). Why can’t someone ask her where she will make up that lost mountain of cash? And why she thinks it’s fair that a waiter at Ruth Chris making $150k should only pay tax on $20k? BLATANT attempt to buy votes with YOUR money?

"If" this and "If" that. That's what the Presidency is, in many cases: responses to events that may-or may not-be beyond the Oval Office's control. There is nobody-absolutely nobody-who can say Donny's response to COVID was anything other than poor.

As for no taxes on tips, I note that many leading economists are against the idea. They are against Donny's original idea, and they are now against Kamala's. Now, if both Donny and Kamala want to give tax relief to low income earners across the board, while replacing the revenue lost with a repeal of the tax cuts for the high income earners, then we have the makings of something more reasonable.

Soopoo, did you ask "where he will make up that lost mountain of cash?" when Donny signed into law his tax cuts in 2017?

You should be mad at Donny for this. It was his idea first.

That fact that you are mad at Kamala for it is soooooo…. you.

Now your getting it, ask Trump and Harris how they plan to pay for any of it. You'll get crickets, they are both going to promise the moon and while the sides are busy slinging insults at each other, your future will be sold further down the road.

I have great doubts President Chaos would have cruised to victory.

Trump came out for it previously. The thing is most servers are not paying any income tax at the moment anyhow so for the most part it is for show. In net it makes as many enemies as friends. Working as a cocktail waitress is hard, but so is working at McDonald's. So Kamala is saying, "Don't tax the people over here but do tax the people over there!"

He means the armed insurrection perpetrated to overturned the results of a free and fair election.


Sorry, I thought we were talking about 2020. The one where there were all kinds of security holes with mail-in ballots.

Quote:
SCOTUS overturned Roe, with all 3 of the justices appointed by Donny voting in the majority. Go ahead and say that if Hilary was elected, Roe still would have been overturned.


Yes, the Trump SCOTUS appointees followed law where judges appointed by Hillary probably would have went with what they thought was popular opinion. Sorry, but from time to time bad SCOTUS decisions get overturned later. No matter what, it was not Trump "who did it."

Quote:
To some people, abortion is an important issue., Being able to control their fertility and to effectively and safely manage their reproductive health is a matter of life or death, or at least risk permanent infertility and loss of major life function. Without that right, women of reproductive capacity are nothing more than broodmares.


Lots of ways to control fertility. Too many people make being pro-abortion their lives.

This is turning into a carbon copy of KKKamala's run for president in 2020. In the beginning of her campaign she was hugely popular and drew gigantic crowds because she knows how to read a teleprompter well. But as soon as she started speaking off the cuff and people could see she was an empty headed bimbo things started to go downhill to the point where as we all know she dropped out because she was going to lose the primary in her own state where she was just the leader a short time before. So that's the strategy they're using, keep her mouth shut as long as possible because once she opens it, and she's going to have to start talking, people will see who she really is. They already know they've just forgotten momentarily because they're so joyful that old poopypants is gone they are beside themselves with glee. This never lasts.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I can imagine her first PC!

"Ms. VP, can you tell us about your international experience?"
"Lots of it! I go to IHOP for breakfast AND lunch......."

"Mrs VP, do you think nuclear fission can solve global warming?"
"Well, it depends what they use for bait...."

I saw a comparison meme today.


It was a Wizard of Oz meme, showing the Scarecrow and the Lion dressed up.

The Lion of course was a coward and the Scarecrow had no brain.


Guess which faces were photo-shopped on them?

Hint: They weren't DJ & JD.


I give an F for taste but an A+ for creativity.
