The Trump Economy
JFC, with Bond Yields jumping today, I can't believe I'm saying this: Chip Roy is right. I'm not saying massive cuts to Medicaid is the solution (it's not), but finding some offsets for this tax bill is a must. Ideally, the tax bill would look totally different, but that chance walked out the door last November.

Markets still falling like whoa
I tend to think that over heated rhetoric around debts and deficits is exactly that: overheated. Our nation's status as global reserve fund grants us a lot of leeway other countries don't have. But I don't think passing a huge debt fueled tax cut when there is already a lot of upward long term interest rate pressure is... super prudent. Particularily if that tax cut doesn't structurally change much, since it's really just an extension of a previous tax bill.

Trump’s America
I find it sorta ironically funny that Trump was railing about American contributions to WW1 when he's meeting with the Canadian Prime Minister today. I mean, they literally had to invent the Geneva Convention because the Canadians went full barbarian during WW1. Battles of Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele out front should told ya.

For the record, Ed Harris wasn’t wrong and just wanted the benefits he was promised.

Trump’s America
There are times that fool from queens just makes me guffaw, and this is one of them. Anyone who has done the basic tour of Alcatraz can tell you it would take billions to make it even a passable functional prison. Every once in a while the old Trump who was terrible but could troll with the best of them still comes out. The problem now is he’s surrounded by sycophants and by next week this will become a real thing.

Idk, but I fucking love back up cameras. If you live somewhere with a lot of parallel parking, they are money.

Virtually any modern truck would reduce my fuckability in my wife's eyes. OTOH, if I rolled up in vintage 80s long bed F-150...- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Brevity is the soul of wit.- The Democratic Party
He has cancer, which he know when he ran for the Ranking Member slot, but now he's citing as a reason to step down. I've said it once, and I will say it over and over and over: The Democrats slavish allegiance to seniority in committee chairs and committee leadership slots is doing real damage to the party. By blocking younger membes from achieving leadership positions, the party stagnates. The Republicans give their chairs and ranking members a combined 6 years, with a rare waiver for 2 more years. Members who term limit out of committee leadership positions tend to retire rather than become back benchers. That allows younger local politicians to move up to the federal level. Rising elected members can develop new fundraising and state wide profiles. Changes in leadership staff force turn over on K street. John Conyers was ranking member or chair of Judiciary from 1995 through 2017. During that period of time, the GOP had FIVE different leaders.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
As an aside, I'm kinda embarrassed that I enoyed Get Him to the Greek. Like half the cast has been cancelled. And there's a prominent Diddy cameo?- Tariff wars, they have began
Navarro must have gotten to him again+He had a few green market days last week= he’s back on his tariff horse. It’ll take another big red dip before Bessent can talk some sense into him. It’s basically been like this since 1/20.- Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
The President popping off only makes everything worse. Now it’s potentially political. I guess some team could do him like the Mets and Tebow and just milk it for shirt sales.- Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
I’d argue that if Milroe is willing to do more than play QB, he potentially has substantially more value Sanders as a wildcat/rb/h back Swiss Army knife (ala Taysom Hill), especially if you are going to wear him out and not worry about a second contract as a mid round pick. If I was going to take a flyer on Sanders, I would definitely draft him in a late round so his salary slots and you don’t have to deal with the clown show that will be Deon trying to milk the UDFA process for clicks.- Markets still falling like whoa
As an aside, I used to work in sustainability, and it's well known that single bin recycling is a total failure. It's essentially an extra garbage pick up. The only thing that people want is the aluminum, since it's cheaper to recycle than mine and process bauxite. When aluminum prices go up, it makes the bulk bundled recycling (which is mostly trash) more desireable, as there is more money to be made recoverying the aluminum versus the cost of sorting. How that interacts with our newly restrictive immigration policies, since a lot of recycling involves people just grabbing shit off the belt to clean the stream before it goes to the automated part of the sorting I can't say. Just somethign to think about.- Markets still falling like whoa
I sold the Pepsi I've had forever this year for this reason. My wife went on a GLP-1 and watching her make a face when I offered to pick up snacks during a road trip, when in past years she'd be like an 8 year old in a 7-11 with a $20 bill, was an eye opening moment.- The Texpatriates Thread
Este. I lived in Australia in 94, when a lot of the white SA were immigrating as apartheid fell. Every white SA is 3 beers away from saying racist things so vile it would make someone from South Carolina blush.- Tariff wars, they have began

Well, I mean.....not really. After 65, the government covers the cost of your healthcare. If everyone has health issues associated with preventable weight gain, that money that can't be spent on other things . I have a genetic eye disease that will eventually lead to partial blindness. There is literally nothing I can do to prevent it. It's something I have to consider as I age. But if you decided to shove a bunch of ho-ho's down your gullet and not exercise in your 40s, Medicare will cover the effects of your poor decision making the exact same as the reverse lottery I caught when I was born.- The Trump Economy
Jokes on you, libtard: all the western ones will be unstaffed and on fire. OTOH, nobody will stop you from jumping into Thunderhole at Acadia and drowning in the Gulf of Maine. Freedom!!!- The Trump Economy
Correct. On exports, the exporter can file for a credit to absolve them of their payments on receipt prior to export. Going the other direction, the VAT gets charged on imports upon arrival to release from customs. Trump and Navarro's obsession with it is dumb as fuck. Instead, they should implement a VAT as part of the tax bill, and offset the income tax cuts revenue loss. You'd think a party that has been wistfully dreaming of a national sales tax for decades would get that, but we live in the stupidest timeline. I think one of the only clever things Paul Ryan did was suggest a Carbon based VAT during the initial Trump tax bill, but Grover Norquist threw a fit and it died on the vine.- The Trump Economy
Yeah. It's like Navarro and Trump ranting about VAT's. I'm sure the entire rest of the world is just going to scrap their entire tax code because you said so. That's definitely going to happen. - The $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreen
