lol Massie's such a little bitch. He's made the classic mistake most people who can't meme always make: 1) your memes have to be funny, not forced, and 2) you have to be correct and/or in a position to do what you're flexing you can do.

I hope people endlessly rub this in his fucking face.

I really hope Massie pulls out of this crashout, I did like him before his wife passed and he seems to really REALLY be struggling.

Rumors of him hooking up with Christina Pushaw, and my god I hope that isn't the case.

Didn't SCOTUS just tell them to knock that shit off?

Yes. Did you really expect them to actually obey? Fortunately with SCOTUS ruling the way they did, the administration can safely ignore this kind of shit now.

Not really. The left will never learn a damn thing. They think they're kings and queens of America. on the right side of history. So the end, utopia, justifies the means, breaking laws.

Amusing note: 4 of the top 4 slots for most words used by a new justice are women.

Also:
Jackson - 11,003 words
Thomas - 96 words

The duality of the American black.


There needed to be a cap on this, otherwise it would immediately be abused. "Our software engineers are now hourly and make minimum wage. But our overtime policy is 10x overtime pay and you're on call 24/7. Also, our engineers are now working 80 hours a week. They make 3200 a week (like before) but now only 320 of that is taxable. (7.25 × 40 = 320) + (72.5 × 40 = 2900) Sounds great for the individual, but payroll taxes are 34% of all federal revenue. Individual income tax is 52% of all federal revenue. Combined that's 84% of all federal revenue, so losing 90% of income + payroll taxes means losing 75% of all federal tax revenue. It would add 2.6 trillion PER YEAR to the deficit.

See above.

Not collecting taxes DOES NOT ADD TO THE DEFICIT, YOU ABSOLUTE NIGGER.

See above

Then call it "less taxes" and not "no taxes"
If you do the math, you'll see that if youre in any sort of well paying job, you can get maximum 5 hours untaxed overtime per week.
Sue me if I'm a little miffed that "no tax on overtime" turned out to be "no tax on a half a day of overtime"

Edit: turns out I am retarded and very wrong. I did my math incorrectly, you actually get about 36 8 hour shifts of untaxxed OT income. That actually isnt too bad as it means you can more or less work 6 days a week for roughly a little over half the year and get untaxed OT with a base pay rate of 28.75.
Still should allow for closer to every weekend in full, but its not as bad as i thought

Oh, neat. Bryan Kohberger pled guilty to those Idaho murders. Turns out, when the police arrested him, he had the ID of one of the victims on him. Or something like that.



I remember /pol/ incels raging to defend the guy for weeks.

I fully expect the BBB to keep getting postponed until Democrats take back Congress. No way it has the votes to pass now.

Dude why do I always see retarded takes from you, can you chill out ?

Trump had DOGE gut the Fed workforce so he can talk about how inefficient the Fed is to justify cutting the Fed's budget so he can give himself and his friends tax cuts and BASED heckin MAGAPEDES will deepthroat to defend it

I'm getting a tax cut too. Does that make me Trump's friend? Cool.

What?! I thought the tax cut only helped the billionaires? You fucking liar

I don't even need the tax cut I just like seeing liberals mad.

It's always funny to see shitlibs piss and moan about tax cuts. NOOOOO, WE NEED TO GIVE ALL YOUR MONEY TO THE IRS KIKES!!!!

Simmer down, and yes it does. Congress sets the budget at X dollars spent. The federal government collects Y dollars worth of revenues of all sorts. Y-X = difference. If difference is less than 0, it is a deficit.

Then call it "less taxes" and not "no taxes"
If you do the math, you'll see that if youre in any sort of well paying job, you can get maximum 5 hours untaxed overtime per week.

I 100% agree with this. I was simply explaining why the original claim wasn't practical, but everyone who feels rug pulled here has a valid complaint.

Democrats have no majorities. At best, they could form a coalition to change some aspects of the bill, but they do not have the power to keep it from passing until midterms. Right now, Democrats are leaderless, and can’t find a unifying message other than “Trump bad,” which has gotten stale after nearly a decade of it. “Trump bad” obviously isn’t enough to win elections now, and the 2024 election proved that, so they need to start actually providing decent solutions over appealing to the lunatics.

The Democrats have become wholly reactive to Trump. Trump does something, so they reflexively do the opposite. This has had the effect of making them define their party around their most extreme, unpopular radicals. They had a chance to triangulate and seize the initiative back when Paul Ryan was dragging his feet on the Trump agenda, but now all they have is shrieking about how evil white men are.

Er, no.

The Democrats have been to the extreme before Trump showed up. In fact, Trump was a reaction to the extremes that the Democrats were taking in politics and culture. The Dems went full Radfem-SJW and Trump was the reaction to it.

The Dems went off the deep end somewhere around 2013-2014. Trump came to power in 2016, and even around 2016, the Dems didn't take him all that seriously until he won. But they were already off the rockers; full pro-immigration, legal or otherwise. Full pro-feminist, pro-choice, radical SJW types, treating white males as the privileged bourgeoisie and brown/black women as the proletariat.
