US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[STARS158]

I'm confused... I thought this was a thread for American politics. Why have you fag's spent the last like 10+ pages sperging out over Irish politics, and not even current Irish politics?

I suppose because we are transitioning to marxist globalism?

Is tax on "unrealized gains" a tax on potential profit?
Like how does it work, some paper pusher calculates that you could earn a million in profits this year, despite you earning only half of that, and taxes you on the money you don't have?

Nixon hadn’t lived to meet the typical 2024 trans-“woman”.

Nigger I put in my post I spent a year in Ireland in the early 2000's.

"I spent a year in Ireland, I know everything about it!"

Fucking plastics, I swear to god almighty...

Oh I get that, I just don't see why Bill is in the more prominent speaking position than Obama.

Isn't Biden part of the Obama sect of the Cathedral? I'm not sure if Kamala is part of a different sect or not (I've heard her called part of the Progressive Sect, aka the true believer idiots, but I thought that was Obama's. Or maybe he was just using them), but she definitely wants to distance herself from Biden, who was at least in theory Obama's puppet. Plus, putting Biden and Obama a few days away from Kamala puts some distance between them, which she desperately wants if not needs. Plus, in theory Obama was going to be the strongest speech, so it makes comparisons to Queen Hyena less direct.

Yes, that's literally what it means.

You buy property X. The government says it went up Y amount of dollars in value. Thus you owe them tax on Y, even if you didn't sell it.

X is stocks right now apparently, but they'll spread it to property et all soon enough. Gotta punish the few landowners that haven't capitulated to Blackrock and moved into the neo-gulags, you know?

Technically Orthodox is Catholic. As the full name is the Orthodox Catholic Church. (Greek Orthodox Catholic Church in this case.) I went to a Christian ecumenical school and for R.E. the denominations were split up and one guy who was Greek Orthodox was put in the Catholic group as the teacher said it was basically the same.

that teacher is retarded.

The term Catholic in regards to Orthodoxy refers to the original definition of the word Catholic, not the Roman Catholic church as it's come to be known. Catholic simply means universal or"full", alluding to the belief that the Orthodox church is the one true church through apostolic succession. That's why in our Nicene Creed, we specifically pray in the name of "One holy Catholic and Apostolic church".

Why are we fighting about potato nigger politics? God this forum is wonderfuly autistic.

 

[Snack Cracker]

Do you think Rfk is taking more votes from trump or biden? Rfk to me is most likely taking more votes away from trump

RFK has some work to do with normies, or maybe his supporters to.

Was out with friends recently and an eccentric friend started talking about politics and how RFK has a brain worm, and a guy with a brain worm is a better option than the other two.

It sounded even crazier in person, the guy needs a hook other than brain worms.
Brain worms generally don’t give people confidence in a candidate.

 

[The Ugly One]

When have you ever seen Biden disavow Antifa or the The Great Replacement?

Democrats don't disavow things; they deny they exist.

 

[Bakarina]

Beats abortion.


Same as he's done since his first big speech at the DNC 20 years ago that put him on the map...


Slick Willie is speaking tonight.

The had a President each night, but the order is interesting. Sure, sunset Biden on Day One, but why have Bammy be the lead-up to Bill? You would think Mr. Hope and Change and the more recent 2 termer would be the shining prelude to Kamala's coronation. Instead they dredge up a guy most under 40s think of as Hildawg's husband and sex pest as the final boss.

Who are they trying to appeal to here?

Only other Democrat president they have is Carter and he's more or less knocking on death's door at this point. Having past Democrat Presidents at the DNC to usher in the first POC Woman(!) President is some kind of circus to distract the masses that we are in one Mell of a Hess

 

[Seething Troon Collector]

Muh Project 2025, muh killing babies, muh Orange Man Bad."

They've got literally nothing else.

An appeal to emotion is a last resort for people that don’t have a credible argument to convince people that they’re right.

They don’t have jack shit to use to denigrate Trump and they know it. That’s why they’re entire platform hangs on muh abortion (Trump didn’t do that), muh COVID (trump didn’t do that), muh inflation (and so on), muh project 2025 (not even a trump thing)

I knew this convention would be a disaster, I just didn’t expect it to be boring. I was expecting disillusioned party insiders jerking themselves off while their NPC followers burned Chicago to the ground. The braindead NPCs really need to get to work on the second part.

 

[Your Girlfriend's Dad]

Does anybody have a source for Kamala calling for an unrealized capital gains tax? I know 5 or 6 people this would not only move away from Kamala, but might outright flip them to Trump.

 

[The Nothingness]

Democrats don't disavow things; they deny they exist.

And later pivot to saying X is happening and it's a good thing.

What about The Catechism Of The Catholic Church?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_communion#Catholic_Church

despite what the catholics say, there is no communion between roman and greek orthodox churches.

Communion in Roman Catholic Church​

Question​

As a Greek Orthodox may I receive the sacrament of Holy Communion in a Catholic Church. Do you know the rules regarding Greek Orthodox and Catholic relations? I live in an area where the closest church is a Roman Catholic Church. Does the Catholic Church recognize us as equals?

---

Answer​

Orthodox Christians are not permitted to receive Communion in non-Orthodox communities, including the Roman Catholic. To do so would imply a unity that in fact does not yet exist. Also it implies that we are “united” to the faith community from which we receive the Eucharist.

In brief, while Roman Catholicism sees Orthodoxy as a “sister church”, Orthodoxy sees herself as the fullness of the Church, not the “other half” of the Church, as implied in the notion of a “sister church.”

The orbodogs prelate showing up to pronounce blessings is half ethnic man in funny robes marketing better than a pudgy Baptist preacher in an ill-fitting shirt and tie, and half the Jesuit octopus with their tentacles in everything (his church is tied at the hip to them through institutions like Fordham and champions such "luminaries" as D.B. Hart).


Online Orthos will be extremely mad for autistic reasons, but your teacher was basically correct, lol, there are masses of Greeks who became Papists when they came over because there were no Orthodox churches and their religions are basically the same.

The bad blood is mostly ethnic with theological differences that barely matter to a layman and difference in practice that most layman could stomach.

And, as above, the Greek church in America has a good working relationship with the Papists on an institutional level too.

those masses of greeks are eastern rite catholics. the greek in Greek orthodox doesnt mean the church is limited to ethnic greeks but as a contrast to the Roman or Latin church.

Fair enough, I've just never seen hate for the Orthodox in any of the Baptist or Calvinist circles I've been in, unless it's a recent thing. Still don't know why the Dems would bother, their pet religion is the pedo worshippers.

ask your friends about icons and if the bread and grape juice become jesus' flesh and blood during the lord's supper.

Current narrative being spread in dissident right circles:

Voters are abandoning Trump because of his support for Israel and legal immigration.

Nick Fuentes is influential in turning the tide against Trump.

RFK Jr endorsing Trump might give his campaign a chance of winning.

None of that is true unless by “dissident right circles” you mean groyper twitter. Maybe lay off groyper twitter and stop writing fan fiction

So if the wall street bets autistic figure out how to make a stock fluctuate up and down 1000 times a day it generates unlimited tax burdens?

God what a fucking nightmare if this is true. What if they do this with other types of investments like real estate.

It's why it's a completely retarded concept. Forget about just stocks, what about private equity and real estate? Basic Economics tells us that a thing has no real price until the moment of exchange when a price is agreed upon.

There is no price, there is no gain, until you sell. It makes no fucking sense.

 

[FlappyBat]

The only way you get to the effective tax rate her campaign has been saying billionaires pay is by considering unrealized capital gains as income. And she says she wants to significantly increase the effective tax rate they pay.

So if the wall street bets autistic figure out how to make a stock fluctuate up and down 1000 times a day it generates unlimited tax burdens?

Most proposals I've seen do it on a yearly basis, so they'd only get to do it once a year.

I think the peak of this election was the Official Biden Twitter account saying "Google Project 2025." Because we're all expected to believe that the man running the country (or at least someone pretending to be him) is so powerless that all he can say is 'Hey you should google this thing, it'll freak you out!'

You know P 2025 isn't an actual threat to anyone because absolutely no effort is being taken to make sure it doesn't pass. Literally only exists to scare voters.
