The hate I have for sheltered wine drinking white women who live in suburbs and legitimately believe they're so virtuous and are standing uo against 'fascism' is off the charts.

These are the most sheltered morons who do not live around any of the stuff they support and ALWAYS back the establishment. They were the most loyal in the Soviet Union. They would gladly narc on anyone for favor. It never dawns on them that every dictator has had control of the media. No, these idiots are incapable of seeing that they support the machine- they were 100% on board with the left's tyranny during COVID. They 100% support imprisoning and murdering their opposition.

LOL This is what you get for calling Trump a fascist dictator - when he wins the election, foreign leaders believe it and are terrified

So 50% of American seniors rely on SS to provide at least half of their income. Half of those people basically get all of their income from SS. So 25% of seniors have ZERO economic support outside of SS. What would you replace it with and how do you keep seniors from being on the street?

A phase out for those not currently, or soon to be on SS.
Not super complicated.
Just need 60 votes. More complicated.

They need to tax wealth. I know most of you conservatives are like, "cut spending", but don't actually want SS or Medicare cut. But deficit spending is a tax. And it impacts everybody negatively except the asset class.

So for me, cut spending, increase taxes on wealth, reduce taxes on income, and watch the economy boom.

Its a great idea in theory but the problem is who determines that value and what qualifies. It would just add onto the massive irs behemoth.

Better method is taxing consumption. That one isnt perfect, but at least hits rich more than poor in actuality (despite the left's argument otherwise).

Expand on "tax wealth", where are you taxing. Wealthy ppl don't get a check in the mail every two weeks

You real solution is burn the tax code and simplify it

Seen a few bragging about their 70% or better straight out of basic. Getting out for all kind of BS and it is sickening.

I have a nephew (My SIL's son) never made it through basic (Army) the first time, I think he went back somehow to the Air Force the second time. He's an x-ray technician now in Kentucky and just got 100% service connected and any issues he had, he had them before he ever enlisted. (Won't go further with anything but I know some serious people who have no issues getting 100% and can work as well. That is at 4k a month now tax free.)

So do away with social security, invest the money into a private fund, you're guaranteed return will be more.

As far as how they portray consumption, can you figure out how to charge a billionaire more for laundry detergent or is this to justify taxing more on income? But the reality is this is missing the bigger picture here, regardless of your income, everyone should be taxed LESS and the government should be held more responsible for its waste, that's the actual solution. No one should be taxed more, the govt should spend less.

 

[trueblujr2]

All true. Not sure why I’d lie about any of this. My buddy is a good guy that moved back to our hometown after law school. Primaried Ken Upchurch a few years ago and nearly beat him.

LOL...Just got your first intro to @warrior-cat I see.

"Spent 3k on X, 2k on Y, and 3k on Z this week. I can't keep doing this" -Dad (Dad is renovating house).
"Yeah, its tough. Everything is expensive" -me
"I cannot wait for Trump to get into office so things get cheaper." -Dad
"Me too, but what exactly is he going to do to help?" -me
"He's not going to let companies take care of Americans." -Dad
"But how?" -Me
"Don't be a smartass. I don't know, but we didn't have this problem when he was in office." -Dad

Last phone conversation went something like this that mentioned politics.

He should be able to articulate why, but why are you pressing him when you know ahead of time he can't? He is expressing a current pain and frustration to you, a very real, intimate and personal one, hoping it will get better, hwile you are just questioning that hope.

Instead of doing that, you could ask him about specific economic differences between Trump's agenda versus the continuation of the current one. Something less personal with less direct emotional attachment. Maybe that would go a long way in preventing any "tirades" you have to endure and actually be conducive to discourse.

I forgot about Hooters Air until I saw this, sure it lost 40 million in 3 years, but it was a bold and a inspiring idea. It was worth the early 2000s try.

@55wildcat told me for the first year of his retirement he only flew Hooters Air.

Although this is certainly welcome news, I respectfully disagree with DC_Draino that this alone represents a victory over the DC Swamp. There are so many battles on so many venues (Congress, Administrative State, etc.) that are still let to be fought.

Need to get that woke shit out of our military. I recall coming across one in my time back in 2013 a couple years before I retired from the Air Force in '15.

I don't disapprove of the EO if it happens, however, I think there are a few cases that should be vetted before they are released. There are some gay women who might like to think they are males, who might be very butch or dyke in their appearance, but who are also patriots and darn good and loyal service members. I happen to know a couple of them personally as they are long time friends of my sister who is a lesbian. I've known them for going on 40 years now. They actually happen to be twin sisters. One got out after her time was up the other stayed in for a number of years beyond that and retired from the military. My wife actually worked alongside another person like this for a little while recently and got to know her. this gal considers herself a dude and served honorably, voted for Trump, and was actually in Homeland Security doing special operations rescuing children from traffickers. She/he gave that up after the second time she got shot. She/he's working a civilian job now. Regardless, they all served our Country well.

Now if there are Tranny's just joining so they can use the service to get a free transition, or if they are obviously mentally unstable with gender dysphoria, and are going to be narcissistic and a problem, then they need to be gone. I'm just pointing out that there are some who don't make gender identity, their primary focus. They're just some butch's who want to serve like any other service member with no special treatments.

Wasn't there an attempt to privatize SS under W? It went over like a fart in church at the time, even though they were shown how responsibly invested money would yield far more in returns than SS ever would.

The problem about DOGE is that we already have something that is supposed to reduce excessive spending, THE GAO. Why not just appoint them to this?

You really are not very bright, Celine.

The correct answer is… “No, because it was a violation of the rights and liberties of everyday American citizens.

So whenever plandemic 2.0 rears its ugly head, she will be the first to crap on people rights again when she’s told what’s “safe and effective.”

Fox News Dr can go kick rocks and take Tomi with her.

My point really wasn't about gay/lesbian service members. That is not who Trump is directing with this executive order. People who served long enough, you served with some who may have appeared to be gay or lesbian but their sexual preference was never brought up or effected their job performance. As long as it doesn't get in the way of the mission, I can see your point. With this individual Airmen that I served with at JBSA-Lackland, after going through the transition was suicidal and went through the (MEB) Medical Evaluation Board process shortly after. No, not everyone who transition obviously will suffer with suicidal ideation. For those who do have prolonged issues that last over 6 months, they get placed on a high interest list and are undeployable while they go through their MEB. That is their business, but we also need to know in a deployed environment that the people serving with are mentally stable in being there for everyone's safety.

Those who want to transition are suffering from mental health issues already and they should be MEBd immediately. If they cannot accept themselves as they ARE, then why should we be forced to play along in their psychosis? The med field does it ALL for the $$. They proved that during C19.
