Most of Trump’s “lies” are simply him defending himself from the liberal attacks on him (Russia, J6, Fine People, Porn Star, Bleach, suckers and losers, election interference), with some hyperbole mixed in.

People fall into the trap of believing these are lies because they have been both lied to and had the truth shielded from them on these issues.


Biden lies all the time about almost everything (Beau, golf, taxes, healthcare, civil rights, Ukraine, etc) and it is dismissed as “cognitive impairment.”

Such a sweet man.
 
Look, unfortunately where we are ... if more of that had happened in 2020 (REAL consequences for illegally assaulting and harassing random people) then this wouldn't be necessary. But no doubt this Dept of (In)Justice will prosecute the driver...sad state of affairs.

To the protesters ... play stupid games, win stupid prizes ... FAFO, right??

MAYBE, JUST MAYBE ... YOU should not have gotten in FRONT of a several thousand pound vehicle! DARWIN winner...

When will this country ever get back to treating criminals like criminals?

If we don't...I can't imagine how bad it will be in the future. (And it's bad now)

Hasan spotting in the wild! Crazy. You know you've got penetration when you're actually in the rightwingers' memes lol. Talk about triggered.
 
He needs to consult someone that knows what theyre doing and then listen to them. So far its obvious he is awful at choosing anyone on his own. Imo reince was the one forced on him but the others were his choice and all awful except bill barr who was decent but still playing by the rules.

He really needs youngkin on the ticket imo because with him Virginia is a state they can win.

Imo noone else even moves the needle. Vivek is good but doesn't give you a state. Plus it would floor me if trump picked anyone that could appear better than he. Trump already has Florida. Im not aware of anyone in other battle ground states that would be decent.

Wouldn't shock me at all to see him pick oz or Hershel hoping theyd give him a state. Would be a major mistake because they wouldn't bring a single voter with them. Any vote they got were already trump votes.
Did you see what happened in Virginia last November? Youngkin pushed hard for candidates and they were throttled in State elections, he isn’t the answer.

Maybe he isnt. Hes just the best of the lot imo in terms of value add.

Out of curiosity: where those trump selected/endorsed candidates?
 
There is no not voting. No matter what you do, someone will still be in that office. Not voting is just voting for the candidate that benefits from lower turnout. In this election, that's Trump. Vote for Trump if you want to, but don't let yourself off the hook about it.
I'm just disgusted with my current options.
Trump is a terrible human being. He is completely unfit in temperment to ever hold that office again.
Biden is not cognitively or physically fit for office.
Right now I am pissed that the Democratic Party is insulting my intelligence by propping up Joe Biden on the ticket in his current state and asking me to support someone who is so obviously impaired by his age.
I'm holding out hope the Dem convention corrects this mess.

Respectfully, you've been parroting this for years and don't what the f you are talking about. We literally study this in undergraduate economics classes. It all depends on relative price elasticity of supply and demand. When demand is more elastic than supply, the corporations most definitely pay more of the cost of the tax. So if you tax food and fuel (inelastic demand), most of those taxes will be passed on to consumers. However, if you place a tax on, say, iPhones and Mercedes Benz's, the producers will pay a larger portion of the tax (it comes out of their profits).

Considering the source, I'll take this as absolute confirmation of my point.

Kick rocks dimwit.
 
I much favor taxes on things than people.
Taxes on THINGS are, you know, ultimately paid by people. (shareholders/investment funds/workers etc.) One way or another, it's going to be the middle class (and lower) that pay that money, not corporate bigwigs. It's incomprehensible to me that this even needs to be explained. Corporate taxes will not punish the people that they're intended to. They're probably one of the MOST regressive forms of taxation. (I ALSO took ECON-101 Wayne... LOL)

We've been living in a Democrat-made hoaxocracy for at least 7 years. Fine People Hoax, Drinking Bleach Hoax, J6 insurrection hoax, "Suckers and losers" hoax, and so much more.Trump is a "salesman." His hyperbole is designed to be productive, as in getting to a deal. Democrat persuasion is a different animal. Gaslighting is pure evil. We need to stop comparing "fact checks" by counting the NUMBER of them. Instead, compare the TYPE.Trump might say his economy was better than you remember. But Biden tells you Hitler is rising.Those are not equivalents. One is selling. The other is gaslighting.

Completely agree on all fronts. We still have to choose between these abysmal options though(insert obligatory Ranked Choice Voting mention).

Amazing! Not only did you contradict your previous post, you also contradicted yourself in a single paragraph.

The amount of stupid in a single post is astounding though. I don’t even think you know what a regressive tax is.

One justification behind raising corporate taxes is to shift the tax burden onto the investment class. So if you increased corporate taxes to say 75% on Microsoft ($20B in profits last year), I can assure you that they couldn’t just raise prices and pass all that back to the consumer. It would be paid primarily from their shareholders, the biggest ones being billionaires like Gates.

Read a ****ing book.
 
Calls someone a moron, but doesn't know how to use commas.
That is a stylistic choice for emphasis. Not a mistake. You do not want to get into a grammar fight with me. I could lambast nigh on every post in this thread. Including literally this one, as you don't need a comma where you put one. The grammar bot even highlights it for you in the quote. Misused a comma in a post about misusing commas. Definition of irony.
