Yes but don't you see the irony in the symbolism? Totes power move while everyone is busy celebrating, wrapping himself in patriotism to distract you, making a public spectacle of it all. Classic authoritarianism. Can't you hear the boots marching through the swamp???
It's not authoritarianism, it's just wrapping it all up in national symbols. Like when Biden set the end date of American troops in Afghanistan to 9/11/2021.
Frankly, I'm surprised that Trump hasn't had any major Ls yet. He's been president for 6 months and he's done nothing but win the whole time.
I would consider much of his foreign policy to be a blunder. No peace in Ukraine, trade "deals" which increase import tariffs for Americans while other countries eliminate tariffs on American products that are not a threat to domestic markets, getting involved in the Israel-Iran conflict. He has great spin, but it's a lot of short-term goals that don't look like they will bring long-term success.
 
so can I take that as not a single person on this thread can tell me one thing about this bill that will tangibly change any of our lives for the better?
More deportations are pretty sweet, This will improve my standing of living
New legal avenues to go after the NFA so I can have a silence SBR will improve my standard of living.
Extending the tax cuts and increasing the standard deduction should reduce my taxes

Those will tangibly improve my life.
The others are nice to have and at this stage, the benefits are intangible to my current life.. I do think this bill is bloated and should have been more extensive individual bills AND we should be concerned about continued deficit spending, but you take what you can get.
 
Please, refer to the specific post where I doom-predicted and it was wrong.

Oh is that all? Thank God, I thought we might end up in a [checks history book]... another endless war in a sandbox county because of giant false flag on US soil. No, no, nothing to worry about. Only a minor possibility. Trivial really.

Fuck, this thread moves too fast for my old eyes to even properly have time to insult some of you.

This is the fucking forever war.

How are those absolutely massive mass deportations going btw? You MAGAs manage to remove more than 1% of the illegals yet?

Cause you know chances are a lot of your political capital just got thrown in the trash. Oh, wait, no, you think the opposite just happened. LMAO AF.

Edit: I'm going to lol pretty hard if Donny ends up giving amnesty to a shitload of illegals before 2028.

yo just checking and everything but i was told this isn't a war and PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH and everything is okay and no sandbox and all that, so WHAT THE FUCK ?????

Oh no problem then, let's keep going down that path. Open your butthole up!

Still unable to pass any meaningful policy your supporters want


There were a few
 
Fiscal conservatives have been doomsdaying about the debt for as long as I can remember and we are still here

Are you... not familiar with the times historically that central banking, fractional reserve systems, or debt... have nearly ruined countries? I'm not a fiscal conservative but you may want to look into those examples a bit. Sooner or later there is a chance it'll melt down. It nearly did in 2008 and again in 2019.
 
Increased ICE funding and no tax on OT / Tips?

Ice funding because we need to fund the Gator Cater Cams outside Alligator Alcatraz somehow and I don't have a ton of overtime, but I do have some so that's a minute benefit that directly affects me.
first of all you realize how fringe this is even if I concede this point wholehog? the knock down drag out for 5 months in office has been to get increased ICE funding and no tax on overtime/tips?

throw all the factionalism out the window for a second, level with me human to human, does either of those 2 things matter more than grocery cost, literacy rates, or just straight up wages?

I really wanna get through to some people that we started to treat this shit like a football game and just cheer when our side gets a touchdown without ANY critical though as to what the win even means and why none of our lives seem to get any better.

Have you guys just forgot what change even looks like?

day one EO maybe day 2 is all online only companys as well as US based telcoms need to to region block all IPs coming from china and Russia and Iran and all US network access by a blocked or obfuscated IP is denied WITHOUT EXCEPTION

day 3 EO says all profits from companys found to be hiring illegal immigrants will be confiscated until ALL said immigrants are removed at the companys expense, then the ABILITY to earn there profits again will be gain only AFTER due prosicution of the ompany as a whole and the enitre leadership core for allowing such a degenerate practice or being so addle headed to allow it to happen under their leadership without knowing.

day 4 EO saying all individuals or company's with more than 2 1031s in the last decade are subject to all profits being held until AFTER a full audit

FUCK and im using the weak stuff here you can REALLY put the screws to these fucks if you start taxing capitol gains like they deserve.

You clowns know the fact trump is either retarded or dosent give a fuck about you? google what a remittance tax is and tell me what the rate is compared to what your sorry ass pays to uncle sam.

Edit I know you maroons wont google stuff proving you wrong so ill show it to you

So what’s the run down on the version of the bill that passed. Serious answers only no burger suits or personality cultists

Nice try but no.

Referring to the endless state of war the US has been in for decades is not a doomer prediction post. It is descriptive. It's factual. We are currently bombing numerous countries with boots on the ground throughout the world. The War on Terror was meant to be open ended.

Also, there are objectively no mass deportations going on. That's why we've switched to "self-deportations" a meaningless term with no legal basis or way to measure. Bait and switch.

Edit: a prediction must be prescriptive. Everything you quoted is descriptive.

It does. Now more people can become ice agents, get more tip money, pay less tax, and not have to share a school (and thus grades) with spics, meaning literacy rate increases
