POLITICAL THREAD

Suckerberg ending "fact checks" on FB and copying X, just like he stole the idea (allegedly) to start FB. He's just a corporate thief IMO. I'm sure his Chinese wife loves it. F'in losers.

He absolutely stole the idea. He also just built on to existing platforms. Granted he could do it but he wasn’t the one who thought of it.

It’s also fascinating to see the timeline of DARPA shutting down Lifelog (a system to gather all of your personal data/associates/etc) ending the same exact day as Facebook debuts.

Just what Democommunists need at this moment... Play this for them... It will be rude, crude, and lewd....

They like it but don't want it to show.....

Play it for some of those weirdo pierced up tattooed women. May become a National Song for them....

Twitter, Meta, TikTok and even YouTube are merging into a very similar product. Basically, they're competing over your attention and it seems to be driven by short videos. It's all crap. Delete it and set yourself free. You won't miss it.

lol of course you used to just eat up anything anyone with a blue check mark said as if it were gospel, not to be questioned. And now you’re mad that you now know, as we did all along, a blue check mark next to someone’s name didn’t mean a goddam thing and you need to critically evaluate all information that is posted. The fact you gobbled up anything blue check marks posted before Musk bought X and think after X people with blue check marks started posting things that wasn’t 100% factual is comical. Sorry you can no longer just “trust the experts” like you lefties love to do.

Hilarious you’re criticizing Musk for blowing up your little bubble of left wing blue check bullshit.

There was some level of trust before with the verified sources. People you know that did homework and were actual journalists. Now anyone on their couch can pay a fee, get the check mark and can spew opinions as facts and no one knows the difference. If you can’t see the difference then I’m sorry. I know you don’t like the media since Trump has trained you that they’re all out to get him but grow up. I guess you’d rather live in a world where Elon musk is retweeting Catturd as news and facts instead. I don’t want to live in that world.

I want to preface this as I am 100% against Islam and do not give a crap about Palestine. Okay.

Anyway, why is it a requirement for America to do the bidding of Israel all the time? Everyone must kiss the ring. We always must fight their wars. They own our politicians.

Hopefully he’s ready to burn it all down. “There were a lot of different people there” I think is him pointing out how many feds were instigating the riots. Calls out the FBI for the “pipe bomb” bullshit. Hopefully they send Liz Cheney to prison for her illegal actions with the January 6 Fraudulent committee.

He didn’t even answer the question as usual. Will he pardon those who beat up cops? Surely you don’t think he should right? Not the back the blue crowd.

Also Babbit didn’t follow police orders and was shot. The cop did the right thing. We need to move on from this. She wasn’t a patriot. Her holding onto every word that Trump poop tweeted is what got her killed in the first place.

 

[sammysdad05]

Trump holding a press conference. How awesome is it to hear a competent President speak without stutters, shitting his pants, brain freezing, without the world laughing, taking questions from the press that is NOT handpicked AND given questions to ask, no time limit on press conference, nobody on the side waving hands to shut the f**k up, can climb stairs, knows where to go to exit press platform, HAS A SOLID PLAN FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Thank you, voters, we are coming back! USA!

He also went on nonsensical rants about water, dishwashers and how many votes he got. This press conference isn’t the flex you think it is. Being able to have a better press conference than Biden isn’t exactly a high bar either but congrats.

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

US billionaires made a huge percentage of their money due to US debt. That's why I am advocating for a HUGE wealth tax on billionaires. And if the f'ers try to flee to avoid it we shut their businesses down.

You better fix the tax code then. The US taxes income, not wealth.

Mark Zuckerberg can pay himself a dollar. His networth is in the value of his holdings, in otherwords his gains are unrealized until he sells them.

For instance: similar situation is the gain taxpayers face when they purchase a home that increases in value. They don’t owe taxes on yearly increases in the home’s value. Instead, they pay taxes on the gain when they sell the house.

There was no level of trust. That’s the problem. You think there was and ate up all the bullshit because the people posting the lies and propaganda had blue check marks next to their name.

Maybe it’s because you’re old, but a lot of us grew up knowing not to just trust shit that’s posted on the internet without critical thought. Regardless if it has a blue check or not.

Again, it’s hilarious to me you’re upset you can’t just outsource your thinking to blue check people like Brian Stelter, Jake Tapper, etc. because blue checks some how now mean less than they used to.

Some blue checks always posted bullshit propaganda and lies. Eye opening you admit you just believed it all.

The DOJ is so corrupt, and was so severely overcharging every defendant, while convicting them in corrupt show trials with biased juries, every single accusation about conduct on January 6 can be dismissed.

So your question is stupid. All J6 political prisoners need to be pardoned at this point because the process was such a corrupt sham.

If there was anyone who actually beat up a cop, and it’s all not just propaganda lies, then they may benefit from sweeping pardons in response to Biden’s DOJ’s corruption.

People who beat up cops shouldn’t go free, but the victims of the Biden admin’s corruption all should go free. And I’ll err on the side of protecting people from the government, not the government from the people.



As more facts have come out, it’s likely the cop that shot Ashli Babbit intentionally murdered her given his quick trigger and history. At best he should have never been in the position he was in.

 

[Bill Cosby]

Again, you type “journalists” as if that means something, just like you did with blue check marks.

Affixing a label like “journalist” to a mouthpiece of the DNC, or giving them a blue check mark, in no way means the things they are posting are true.

Whether it’s catturd, Brian stelter, joy Reid, insurrection Barbie, or whoever, I’d advise you to do your own verification and exercise critical thought.

Boggles my mind people would still go with “trust the experts” at this point in time rather than thinking for themselves.

Joe biden just pardoned 9/11 terrorists. Sit down.

The things you're told to get all wound up about and do is absurd.

I don't care about any of the j6 ppl (we get it, you're obssesed). Most of those cops fabricated much of their story tho, actually no, one of them...the only one allowed to testify, if we're all about facts, to name himself a hero. The reality is, Harry Dunn, for instance, showed up to work late (government employee), sat around and ate, ignored most of what was going on. Then testified to get a book deal and congressional medal. Here's all the time stamps,video proof, he lied to congress...you don't care tho, of course. Facts first!



For whatever reason, ppl like you have lost the ability for nuance. You aren't allowed to talk about that day unless you throw a tantrum of how the entire govt is supposedly in the capitol, and the entire givt would've fell, by unarmed mass of ppl with no plan. In fact, it's part of why democrats lost this election...they assumed they could literally do anything..no matter how bad the policy, corruption, etc..they could just shout "but jan 6!!!"

I want to tax wealth. Yes.

You’ll need to amend the constitution. Or get access to the Roberts kompromat.

 

[WayneDougan]

You’ll need to amend the constitution.

I'm fine with it.

My order of taxing should be:

1. Foreigners
2. Imports
3. Wealth (over a certain threshold)
4. Income (minimal)

Oh really??? I don't think so... Called property taxes... Mine go up EVERY year. have YET to see them go down... Figure that one out.

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

Okay determine the wealth. How do you tax something that isn't tangible. I might have million in stocks but they might be worthless in a year.

That's unconstitutional.

Something isn't worth a million dollars unless I sell it for a million dollars.

Rich ppl don't get a check in the mail every two weeks, so im asking how you're going to do this.

Jesus Christ this is insane. So question: the people ON VIDEO who beat up police officers should’ve been charged right? Or are you saying it’s blanket immunity for them since they like Trump?

And nice to see you’re taking Babbitt side and not the police officer. I mean she was only breaking the law, had broken through the last door before getting into the house chambers, and had been warned several times to stop. But yeah it’s the cops fault

If you have a 200k house and the assed value goes up to 300k, do you now have 100k in the bank? No. You don't get any of that "wealth" unless you sell it

Figured it out...Mark Zuckerberg pays property taxes too.

If you're asking me about about property taxes in general, I think it's garbage that you never actually own your property. I think they are garbage too.

Missing the point completely. You can like Catturd opinion all you want but he shouldn’t be a verified member for posting legit news, etc. Whether you like guys like Tapper or Hannity, etc. (I don’t like either), they at least are members of news organizations. Catturd is a dude tweeting from his couch and Musk and Trump retweet him. Thats a problem.

Bigger issue is that you think Tapper and others are the same as Catturd. They’re not. Just because you like Catturd nonsensical posts, doesn’t make him reliable news source.

I don't care about what's constitutional because when I argue policy I'm referring to changing the constitution if we have to.

1. Income tax worked back in the day because the nation didn't have a lot of wealth and businesses were local / regional / national.
2. We have significantly grown wealth AND the consolidation of wealth in this country.
3. Businesses have transferred a HUGE portion of the work offshore where we don't collect the income tax we used to... this is a problem.
4. You cannot have a good society where 0.1% of the population has like 50% of the wealth, and NEVER has to pay tax on it because a) they never sell and b) use shady loopholes when they die to avoid paying the tax.
5. Companies are valued ALL the time. Wealth is value ALL the time. If you started a company from scratch that is worth $10B, and we tax it yearly at 1%, you can:
   1. Sell shares of that business to raise the revenue required
   2. Borrow against your asset to raise the revenue required

I don’t agree with Biden doing that at all.

Let’s stay on topic though. Trump and others keep bringing up Ashli Babbitt because it was J6 yesterday. You don’t think she should’ve been shot. You think the officers should’ve ignored their duty and let the mob into the house chambers. That’s what you’re saying?

This is what you posted:

"For instance: similar situation is the gain taxpayers face when they purchase a home that increases in value. They don’t owe taxes on yearly increases in the home’s value. Instead, they pay taxes on the gain when they sell the house."

All you can tell me now is you did not post that. I know many who actually do state something someone never posted..

Tell me you did not post the above and then we can go forward because you most assuredly DO pay taxes on yearly increases in your homes value while you own your home. And these are only estimates of property increases and not realized increases.

What you did later was say property taxes and Mark pays them. Taxes are taxes, gains that are taxed are taxes. Whether you just say taxes or property taxes or usage taxes or city taxes or municipal taxes yadda yadda yadda...

Ole Laughmala intended to make homeowners pay unrealized gains taxes above and beyond "only" property taxes. That is more to what I think you meant.

If you mean or meant something else than what you posted, then correct what you meant to post...

 

[sammysdad05]

Which convicted defendants “beat up” police officers?

No clue. I haven’t gone though all the cases. But anyone that can be proved they beat up cops should be charged. Anyone with a working brain believes that though.

 

[WayneDougan]

If you're asking me about about property taxes in general, I think it's garbage that you never actually own your property. I think they are garbage too.

You definitely own your property. What you are crying about is that you have to pay property taxes because we need to educate children in your community so that they don't grow up stupid with the only option of acquiring wealth is to come to your property, kill you, and take it.

 

[WTF Cat]

Yeah, I really think if Pelosi is gone by that point, AOC could be in the running. Dems don’t like to leave things up to the public though. Among the talking heads, the early ones are

Kamala again (bizarre)
Newsome
Shapiro
Gretchen
AOC


I’d be shocked if the nominee wasn’t one of those.

That's a phenomenal list... for the Republicans.

I’m not missing a point, the point you’re trying to make is just flat out retarded.

Whether someone wears a CNN employment badge, has a blue check, works for Fox News, sits on their couch, etc. you should do an independent evaluation of their credibility and the information they’re providing.

Tapper and Stelter are worse than Catturd, because they actually pretend to be journalists not just shit posters on the internet.

So you don’t actually know if anyone beat up any cops, but want Trump to answer a stupid random hypothetical about people who beat up cops?

If you feel specific people shouldn’t be pardoned, post the names. Otherwise stop asking stupid questions.
