Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

Basically you are advocating subjugating an entire segment of people just for cheaper groceries. Or that you (not you specifically, but anyone that shares this view) refuses to do similar kind of work themselves.

Holy strawman batman

Buddy, contact your nearest pretzel factory, I've never seen someone twist what was said this hard, they could use your skill.

Christ, if we could harness the energy of the blatantly dishonest hot air that comes from people like you and Matt "I sell a babysona of myself as a children's toy" Walsh, we wouldn't have to worry about how we power the country. It's honestly embarrassing.

[Doomcookie]

Who cares what a silly poll that was filled out 7 years ago says - were you in the polling booth with me?

Or rather, were you at home with me since I didn't even vote in 2020 or 2024?

It's weird that your only defense for being caught in the lie, is to say that you're totally lying.

Were you lying then, or are you lying now? Or, have you been lying all along? Actually, the real question is not whether you were lying, then. I provided the proof that you were lying then.

When did you stop lying, and can you actually provide evidence that you stopped lying?

You literally advocated for raping and murdering immigrants.

VA has stopped hiring workers thanks to a hasty Trump Executive Order.
They’ve rescinded offers to dozens of people who were going to fill critical roles to care for vets.

Face-Eating Leopards gonna need semiglutides at this point, and its not even Feburary.

Was reading a subreddit for federal workers.

The number of people who were offered jobs for the VA that had them rescinded was nuts. People losing their minds over having finally been able to hire some folks they desperately needed after months/years of trying and they have to rescind those offers, now. People who had just spent weeks scheduling interviews to fill a position have to call up and tell every one of the interviewees the position is closed. People literally in the process of moving cross-country for a federal job that no longer exist, or that have to tell someone moving across the country that their federal job they're moving for no longer exists.

Nobody hates veterans like the Republican party hates veterans.

This is offset by the tax cuts coming later this year as well as cheaper energy.

Who benefits from tax cuts? First we need to take a look at the tax brackets.

https://www.irs.gov/filing/federal-i...s-and-brackets

How many tax payers fall into each brackets?

Over 42 million American households fall into the 12% bracket, making it the most common tax bracket. Households in this bracket pay 12 cents of each additional dollar of salary they earn in income taxes; however, their overall income tax rate is actually much lower. On average, households with gross income in the 12% bracket only pay 6% of their income in income taxes, due to the standard deduction, personal exemptions, and various tax credits. These people will barely benefit from any tax cut.

Next most common is for a household not to fall into any income tax bracket at all. This occurs when a household’s income is less than the value of the deductions and personal exemptions it is able to claim. Over 36 million households do not fall into any tax bracket. However, this figure does not represent all of the American households who pay no income taxes, as even households that fall into an income tax bracket are sometimes able to reduce their tax liability to zero with tax credits. These people won't benefit from the tax cut at all.

All in all, the majority of American households (77%) fall into the 12% tax bracket or below. These households will not or only minimally benefit from any tax cut.

How about the other 23%? The US tax bracket jumps from 12% to 22% and max out at 37%. I can tell you that nobody in the US pays at the maximum tax bracket. In 2020, the effective federal income tax rate of all US taxpayers was 13.5%. We, in the US, pay one of the lowest tax rate in the world. Except for maybe the citizens of oil-rich middle eastern countries.

Just for fun, compare the current tax bracket with the 1980s tax bracket which capped at 70%.

Unintended. Trump supporters will believe anything.

Considering VA accounts for 5% of US annual budget, I would say intended.

On Tuesday, Daniel Ball’s case tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack was formally dismissed after he received a full pardon from President Trump. But by Wednesday, Ball was arrested once more on a pending federal gun charge.

The Florida man appears to be the first Jan. 6 rioter to face additional legal trouble after the sweeping clemency bestowed on those who rioted at the Capitol as lawmakers sought to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. His arrest warrant was also the first publicly filed in Washington, D.C., following the start of Trump’s second presidency.

Ball was charged in May 2023 with 12 counts tied to the Capitol attack, including assaulting, resisting or impeding officers using a dangerous weapon and using explosives to commit a felony.

Prosecutors said he worked with other rioters to “violently push” against police outside the Lower West Terrace entrance, and when their efforts failed, he threw an explosive device into the entrance. It detonated on 25 officers, according to an FBI affidavit.

His trial was initially slated to begin Jan. 6, but the judge vacated that date in October.

In his new indictment, there’s no mention of those charges, which Trump wiped from his record. However, Ball’s two previous convictions — for domestic violence battery by strangulation in June 2017 and battering and resisting law enforcement with violence in October 2021 — are detailed in the charging papers. He’s accused of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, around May 2023.

Ball is one of more than 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants who saw their charges dismissed with the stroke of Trump’s pen Monday in one of the first acts of his second presidency. A handful of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders also saw their sentences commuted to time served as part of the far-reaching clemency action.

Only the best people.

Donald pardoned a violent insurrectionist with a history of violence and resisting arrest, who also had separate pending gun charges against him because he was not allowed to own a gun as a convicted felon - the felony convictions being prior to Jan. 6.

I'm curious if any of our resident "Not Trump Supporters" who celebrated the pardons will tell us what excited them most about this piece of shit's pardon!

Not my face, no, they said they wouldn't!

[Breccia]

This Stargate announcement is getting me really excited ngl. Barely 2 days in office and we're already seeing real change.

Oh, what's actually changed? What I see is an announcement by a proven serial liar. Trump announced Infrastructure Week, it was the day the Nazis he supported murdered an innocent person in the street. That announcement was a plan that never happened.

Saying that Trump's announcements are change is just not being honest. But do come back and post when something has actually happened.

I enjoyed a lot of the "Her Job Was Two Start In Two Weeks!". This is what my aunts text messages look like, because she yells into her phone and then hits send without checking to see if what her phone transcribed is what she said or not.

You mean...people who capitalize every word? I mean, it's not a style commonly accepted, but maybe that's a touch excessive. Quite frankly, if karma's going to get to them, it's not going to be for SPaG errors.

Honestly, this is the only reason why I am going to keep my X account is to watch the MAGA types have to come to real grips with their actions.

Case in point, this. The best part is, the replies are "Oh, it must be some of Biden's people trying to get back at Trump for removing their protections."

Someone else basically replied: "No, you dumbfuck, it literally is the current sitting President, a one Mr. Donald J. Trump, that signed the EO freezing any civilian position within the government. Unless you are in the military or national security part of the government, there is to be no hiring. You voted for it, you got what you voted for."

People so fucking far gone that they cannot conceive that this is a consequence of their actions and their cult leader is doing it so clearly they must blame the guy who's no longer in office and not the guy who made a TV spectacle out of fake-signing a ton of EO's. We all so those pictures of him with his "pen", mid-signature, with the full signature already written out.

As I said before, it would be an embarrassing show even if it was put on by the local volunteer theater troupe, but considering their performances are significantly above the quality of Kevin Sorbo that may explain why it's so convincing to MAGA.

Sorree, you cant handle a satire account on a gaming forum.

So what the fuck do we do now? All three branches of the government is gone, so are both traditional and social media. The right wing propaganda machine is stronger than ever. I don't see any other way to fight this.

Conservatives who apparently care about the opinion of a guy who's openly talked about his sexual attraction to minors who are young and supple. A totally normal thing for grown adults in their 40's+ to say about 14-16 year olds!
