I remember when people ran Cack off for posting incorrect tweets. I wonder if the sanctity of truth keepers chime in?

Hmmm

The truth Is hard for some. Let's see how this plays out.

Zero credibility. I hope they keep him as their leader forever.

I think unified has always meant unanimous minus Massie. Dude never goes along with anything.

No biggie. Remember, this started under Biden, but regardless, these jets are built to last 25-30 years. Car dealers sell new cars all the time that are the previous year or two model.

Massie tends to shed light on the issues with these spending bills, they don't like people exposing waste in bills

Mafia style politics.

I get it, this is how politics work in general. Pressure is applied. If someone goes against the party line, you may try to primary them later etc etc. But Trump simply tries to destroy anyone who crosses him.

I would love to see them vote on it page by page. But his approach is purist, not realistic

POV MAGA realizing that government transfers to people who need it is good policy. This is like watching a mouse slowly follow the scent to the cheese

(Never mind student loan forgiveness, that’s bad policy!)

If they do loan forgiveness, it should be limited to community college tuition amounts. Shouldn't have to pay for some to go to Harvard

Listening to Noom, Kennedy, Hegspeth, etc etc etc ... please tell me that EVERYONE is embarrassed for our country!

Literally the stupidest tax policy in the world. You want to benefit low wage earners you lower the tax rate based upon AGI or you up the earned income credit.

Honestly I'll just tip smaller amounts now, not sure why certain segments of the population should have breaks.

Student loan forgiveness is and always will be terrible policy. It was a handout, likely by controllers who had student loans, pushing to buy votes and forgive honest and freely accepted debt on the backs of people who managed to pay for their own damn college or who couldn’t afford to go and work and pay taxes. It did nothing to fix the affordability problem. It did nothing to entice kids to certain fields of study.

Pretty sure most cash tips go unreported anyways. Was prob really prevalent before credit cards became so mainstream.

Not sure on the actual stats but likely that most of the student debt isn’t held by Ivy League grads. I would take community college tuition as a good first step.

Except it’s actually pretty well documented to be great policy. I agree it doesn’t go far enough, there should be a payback period of service for those who receive free tuition. Lower period for priority fields. But, this will be seen as “government overreach”.

Jealousy. Who would have known.
Why does It matter to you? Trump Is doing this to save the lowest income workers from the IRS. I don't remember reading anything about death and taxes in the constitution. That's another lie we've been told over the years.

Wiki:
According to St. Thomas Aquinas, the struggle aroused by envy has three stages:
During the first stage, the envious person attempts to lower another person's reputation
In the middle stage, the envious person receives either "joy at another's misfortune" (if he succeeds in defaming the other person) or "grief at another's prosperity" (if he fails)
the third stage is hatred because "sorrow causes hatred"

That's why I always give cash tips. I know the server that gave me the service gets everything If they choose.

Uh there is a good amount of tip workers who make 6 figures. Either way, another reason not to tip

I was joking. But, why do you care?
I tip good when I receive service that Is above and beyond. I lower my tip when the service is below average.
People that only make $3-$4 an hour and make my experience better, deserve It. I also know they'll treat me better the next time they see me and my family walk into their establishment.
I guess you've never experienced a job that was incentive based. There are good servers/chefs out there, and they deserve to be treated well.

Tipping shouldn't even be a thing, it's only really the US that does it to this extent. And yes I have worked a commission job before.
