From White House Briefing And Statements:

Thank god. You can be the gayest dude sucking the best dick on the planet for all I care just land my fucking plane without killing me. Your qualifications to do the job should be the only thing getting you the job.

... Can he? Wouldn't that completely gut the Fed's income? Doesn't the rule about the debt ceiling mean he can't cut taxes without permission?

I'm trying to find what percentage of federal tax receipts come from W-2 wage taxes, as opposed to capital gains tax, etc. There are tables galore with a bunch of stats but I am neither smart nor motivated enough to do the math on it.

I believe the argument is that taxes were never supposed to be on your hard earned wages, Sov Cit style. Every other tax on your earned dollar, including what profit you make with those wages, more than makes up for the up-front siphoning. They even tax any state refund you get from your state (with some exceptions) from the prior year ffs.

They're up in everyone's business, and they have to pull straight from your wagie paycheck as punishment for not earning enough to "invest" in their approved casino or to have pricey financial advisors to navigate the system. We can't have your paltry dollars benefitting only local jurisdictions via sales/property tax and not kicking back to the machine in D.C.!

After all, a lot of CEO's take stock options and such as part of their compensation so their actual W-2 wages are not that much - hence the retarded arguments for "unrealized capital gains" taxes.

If anyone wants to download some tables and do some wizardry, here are a couple of links.

Why is anyone surprised that the NYT is carrying water for the cartels? Doesn't the name Carlos Slim ring any bells?

Trump is carpet bombing them right now, Just a complete blitz of the federal government. Add on the Elon thing and the media can't keep up with everything and they are scrambling. It is hilarious to watch.

Taking that in face value, you'd have to blame DEI FOR turning affirmative action and the EEOA into a race grifting scheme where JUST race was placed over merit. Things were find 20-30 years ago, now Trump has to overcorrect by throwing every discrimination practice out with the kitchen sink.

Things weren't fine 20-30 years ago whites were already in the process of being discriminated against in schooling and business. Affirmative action is bullshit and was always race grifting and never benefitted the driving force behind the country (White men).

It has always been a grifting scheme and always will be.

I'm not sure how true this actually is. Drugs, no. But stolen electronics are a big market on ebay and even when explicitly labeled as blocked imei or locked apple phones are aplenty. I've seen articles about this issue being rampant and ebay seemingly not cracking down even when it's obvious.
Ebay of course says they don't allow the sale of stolen property but then why can I buy locked or blocked phones that are labeled as such?

When's the last time you've bought heroin on eBay?
Edit: Lol. Call me dumb but you don't respond I notice.
"I setup an online storefront specifically for illegal goods and got arrested for it. WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?"
I swear. Lolberts are delusional and retarded.

I'm taking my chance to talk about fun magic and fun witch shit because it's on topic and the ones on the internet aren't having a good time right now.

I don't think they can really comprehend WHY he has shielding against their negative bullshit. Because once they do, they'd realize they're in the wrong, and his conviction is far stronger than theirs.

The concept of holiness also just doesn't register to them, because that's what their circle is supposed to be, the holy one. The right one. It's indicative of the larger problem of narrow-mindedness that's caused them to create their hugboxes to begin with, and is no doubt fueling their rage right now.

Or, they're aware of the concept of holiness from the traditional perspective but have thrown it away with no regards for its lessons and teachings, making them genuinely awful people instead of just outright retarded. Salem's bad bread issue would be child's play compared to what would happen if that city got its hands on the reddit and tiktok covens.

Funny how they could see a man walk away from a bullet he had a 1 in a million chance of avoiding and NOT see there's divine protection at play.

The Department of Justice issued a memo ordering local and state governments not to impede executive immigration initiatives, warning that those who do will face legal action.

There are plenty of reasons a phone might be carrier-locked other than being stolen and there are approximately eleventy billion pissed-off forum posts out there proving this. I don't know where you get the idea that those devices are exclusively stolen property.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

He mentioned the Soviet Union helping with WW2. As we know, some liberals heavily advocate for communism/socialism so this would be a big thinker.

@Feline Supremacist, your thoughts? Any ideas on how this could proceed in your eyes?

Well he got the WW2 USSR casualties wrong as Russians cite 25M. I think 60M is a number claimed by a small group of juden but idk, but that's just wrong. Also, Russians feel they won the war with minimal help from the US; after all,they're the ones who slogged alone through Ukraine, Romania and Poland, etc. all the way to the German capital (while acknowledging they picked up partisans along the way). I'm not here to argue the point, just saying how they look at it and have brought it up.

Trump is just putting out negotiation feelers but its notable that he's not including Zelensky, which is evidence that he never mattered and it was State and glowies who prosecuted this war with Russia all along (and as noted earlier, they were all just FIRED). I'm sure Russia/Putin believes they can work with Trump as opposed to the Nuland/Blinken/Sullivan Biden triumvirate of warmongers.

There's hope a swift end to the pointless deaths in this war on both sides is imminent. I certainly hope so.

I can't believe Trump spent the last four years destroying this country and has the audacity to continue for a 3rd term. When will the adults finally be in charge?

Let them fall deeper onto their echo chamber. The Dems had everything in their fingertips, media, funding, political power, and most importantly mainstream culture. Then they became pants on head retarded, pushed everything too hard and now in a death spiral because they can't look themselves in the mirror and admit they fucked up.

They had silenced the opposition so thoroughly that they honestly believed there was no more opposition. Liberals are nothing, if not arrogant.

"Why yes, American businesses that collaborate with the Cartels or that National Socialist movement that wants to take the southwest back for some mythical Mexican state that never existed SHOULD be sanctioned into oblivion, thank you for thee suggestion."

Actually this brings a good point. Can Trump push for sanctions on companies found to be intentionally or willingly employing illegals? My family is from Apple Country (now Wine Country) in Washington State and entire Warehouses and Orchards were staffed by illegals. The threat of sanctions would kill that.

I'm in the kind of business where hiring illegals is commonplace. There's probably other schemes but the way most of them, at least the big ones, do business is:

1. Owner/manager of large business that needs cheap labor finds a legal Mexican who can speak English and do whatever work they need done
2. They don't tell him what to do but they send him to their lawyer who explains the game, the lawyer helps him set up an LLC
3. LLC hires X number of illegals (I want to say 15 is the sweet spot)
4. Original large business awards contracts to original legal Mexican's new company, plus a $15,000 'bonus' for their first job
5. Lawyer holds on to the $15,000. When/if LLC gets busted for illegal labor the fine gets paid to make the problem go away, LLC dissolves, new LLC with all the same people pops up next week


For smaller companies they probably don't bother with the $15,000 thing and just let the legal Mexican eat the fine/consequences, if their lawyer isn't retarded it's basically impossible to track any infractions back to them

Under a government that doesn't give a shit about illegals this works extremely well because you basically never have to pay that fine. I don't know how it will change under Trump. I can't imagine the legal consequences will make it too far up the food chain just because of how easy it is to insulate yourself as a business owner but if they're actually aggressively hunting down offenders, deporting the illegals the LLC hires, and punishing the LLC owners beyond a fine that gets paid by someone else I don't see that being cheaper than just hiring someone at a reasonable wage for too long
