Well, as a still registered Republican (so I can vote in a primary only), I proudly casted my vote against Trump this morning. Voted for Haley who was not my first choice when this began - but it is what it is. When the GE comes around in Nov - I'll gladly vote against Trump again. Just doing my small part to save our democracy.

She was a Jewish immigrant whose parents were killed in the Holocaust. She was a dental assistant, heard the commotion outside her office and went to see what was going on. This random dude grabs her and kisses her. People want to believe it's this romantic celebratory photo because it fits the narrative in their head. Reality tends to hurt a lot of people in their feels when it doesn't conform to their pre-conceived notions.

Maybe those morons could learn to walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.

How does a state court adjudicate for a federal crime??? I mean, take the political blinders off and just think about this thing logically. There's a reason it was a unanimous decision. The reasoning of the conservative justice maybe wrong but the outcome is correct, and I think you're blowing this way out of proportion.

Lots of gratuitous sex scenes, kung fu fighting and Irish fist fight brawling. My kinda show.

I would be remiss if I didn’t push back some on this. Yes, the tax breaks initially caused debt to rise, yet that isn’t the fault of the relax break, it’s the fault of it government not budgeting based on what funds are coming in. The excess spending is what needs to be paid for. Second, the treasury will be more than been paid pack by the enormous tax revenues brought on by the tax breaks in subsequent years according to the 2022 CBO estimates about $570 billion higher for the decade than expected. BTW…..to further dispel the partisan myth too many people bring to the board. I wanted to repost this old article. https://thehill.com/opinion/finance/584190-irs-data-prove-trump-tax-cuts-benefited-middle-working-class-americans-most/amp/ Congressional Democrats have argued that one of the best ways to pay for the legislation is to raise taxes on wealthy households, which, according to many on the left, have benefited disproportionately and unfairly from the 2017 tax reform law passed by Republicans and signed by former President Trump. The latest data, however, proves that this claim is pure mythology. Income data published by the IRS clearly show that on average all income brackets benefited substantially from the Republicans’ tax reform law, with the biggest beneficiaries being working and middle-income filers, not the top 1 percent, as so many Democrats have argued. A careful analysis of the IRS tax data, one that includes the effects of tax credits and other reforms to the tax code, shows that filers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $15,000 to $50,000 enjoyed an average tax cut of 16 percent to 26 percent in 2018, the first year Republicans’ Tax Cuts and Jobs Act went into effect and the most recent year for which data is available. Filers who earned $50,000 to $100,000 received a tax break of about 15 percent to 17 percent, and those earning $100,000 to $500,000 in adjusted gross income saw their personal income taxes cut by around 11 percent to 13 percent. By comparison, no income group with an AGI of at least $500,000 received an average tax cut exceeding 9 percent, and the average tax cut for brackets starting at $1 million was less than 6 percent. (For more detailed data, see my table published here.) That means most middle-income and working-class earners enjoyed a tax cut that was at least double the size of tax cuts received by households earning $1 million or more.

Yeah, I don't think anyone here has said that about the Houthis... The French have been off doing their own thing against the Houthis. Macron needs to swallow his pride and get inline with the US and UK to have a more cohesive and coordinated strategy. The French are not a global leader in anything these days, outside of protests.

Respectfully, archy, bull fucking s#!t. Hide behind your benign technicalities all you want, but the fruit of a tree tells you its quality.

This is concerning for Republicans, but it's also meaningless unless it's compared to enthusiasm for Biden supporters, which is likely equally tepid. Any environmental that shows North Carolina as competitive would mean Biden is winning national polls by 5%, which just isn't happening. Unless polls start to show the paradigm listed in the above tweet, any environment that isn't D+3.5 or more probably means a Donald Trump won. Biden has to shift polls in his favor by huge amounts to win.

I taught with a math teacher once. At a meeting she was talking about a student who started off "bad" and then became "good" At the meeting she said "Cara has done a great job, a total 360" I looked at her and said "wait, doesn't that mean she is back where she started?" We all died.

I don't coach FB anymore but when I did...That Neuman program was a machine. That option they ran was so well timed. Side note, the first scout I ever did was going to Wahoo to watch WN.

If I were an Arizona citizen, I would have voted for her over the other two. With her out, I wouldn’t have voted for either of the two that are left.

@Dr. Strangelove capping late fees at $8 is stupid AF, as is calling them "junk" fees. There is such a thing as junk fees, but this isn't one of them. People seem to think their credit limit is their money, but it's the bank's money. If they are late on paying the bank back, it's not a junk or hidden fee the bank asks for, and the average of $32 is not much. The bank has to have a way to pay for losses. If this goes in, it will be good customers who pay for it by either not getting approved or by having higher APR. Your sarcasm was confusing here, because the article was just stating the information, without a slant to it.

I wish she would have ran and won. Unfortunate for her to drop out.

It seems like based on some cool science and the two kissers alleged timeline, they weren’t the kissers in the picture either. settled. Just when we thought the case of the Times Square Kiss was closed, three physicists at Texas State University began to raise new questions about the photograph. Actually, they sought to answer just one question that had never been determined: what time did the Kiss occur? The professors studied vintage maps, aerial photos, and architectural blueprints before constructing a scale model of Times Square, circa 1945. They even rigged a moving sun to pass over the model so they could match the lighting and shadows on the many photographs taken by Eisenstadt and Jorgensen that day. After four years of research, the scientists determined that the shadows in Eisenstadt’s photo could only have been cast by a sun “at azimuth 270 degrees (exactly due west) and at an altitude of +22.7 degrees.” That is, the photo was taken at exactly 5:51 p.m. Both George and Greta claimed the kiss was much earlier in the afternoon. Perhaps their memories were clouded. Or, perhaps the kissers are still a mystery, after all.

But it’s actually not giving us more money…..it’s actually our money in the first place that we ARE HAVING TO GIVE to the government. So a tax cut is just us keeping more of our money instead of giving it away for a bureaucratic agency to spend on various public projects, cost centers, etc… People tend to think government has to pay for a tax break. Not the case.

Dang, the market today...Black Tuesday

Yeah, in the end most of us really just care about nice roads, police, fire (f#&%ers), nice schools and healthcare. We just need to focus on that stuff.

Seems like a no brainer, but some posters here suggest otherwise.

That is non-consensual??? Good lord, we are ALL going to jail.

Now we're upset that a photo of a non-consensual kiss is no longer being used by the Dept. of Veteran's Affairs?

Not really a fan of it. But, it's not quite as it seems. These people fill out a form on line and book an appointment with an agent in the US. They are then flown to other parts of the US other than the border which is overwhelmed. We should know who they are from the form they fill out. They are being seen by an agent and processed.

She would be a disaster pick. Which means I’m sure she ends up with it.

Agreed. This decision wasn't about Trump. I would be against a state doing this to Biden because some election official or secretary of state decided he was unfit.

This is where I am at. I don't like Trump, but you can't just keep him off the ballot because he is a jerk. Could Red state keep of Biden because they think he isn't all there? No

JB looks like Bernie from the Documentary "Weekend at Bernies" and trump looks like a b!^@h Here is a real man Correct, this is a post board, not real life. Anyway...your thoughts on why fighting sports have weight classes???

You are looking at the wrong stuff. Only look at vegas...50/50. Also, not to be mean but no one really cares about the environment

Dude, I don't think he is moving there! haha

Hey...remember, Texas is "turning blue" Good chance they were from Cali, trying to fit in.

This is a good list. The Pro-Pally Bros, which for some reason we even have here, are totally weird. Just like the Pro-Houthies (They are misunderstood, what would you do?!?!) "Israel is being mean!" Yeah, no s#!t, I wonder why. Morons. Your group 2 is spot on as well...EVERYTHING is an issue even when it isn't, for instance that picture VJ day that turns out to not even be who they thought it was...but it doesn't matter. I will disagree with the bolded unless I misunderstand what you mean. Of course Israel would love to finish the problem, who could blame them. Will they? No, it will go to halftime and it will start up again later on.

My dad takes like 20-25 pills per day, they are about the same age and my dad is retired and just reads and watches the Scify network all day. What is the Over/Under on how many pills Joe has to take per day? 30?

This is very well put and you are 100% spot on.

LOL. Trump acts menopausal 24/7

There's two sides to a budget. Income and expenses. If you cut income without cutting expenses, the additional debt is caused by the cut in income. Nebraska right now has a balanced budget amendment. Our budget has to be balanced by law. Now, let's say we did away with that amendment and the governor/legislature immediately cut taxes bigly. The deficit that happens wouldn't be caused by the expenses. It would be caused by a cut in income.

Yep Many former students, now in college, follow my schools social media so their stuff pops up, most of it is just pictures of them doing fun college stuff, but any pictures about "politics" are Pro-Pally, 100%.

I thought about this on the ride to work this morning because they mentioned a renewed trade war with China and stiffer tariffs. I’m sure those policies will sell well to a lot of folks but polls results like this really just reinforce how financially illiterate most of the electorate is. Tariffs are a tax on Americans. Lol

So "Remain in Mexico" has been replaced with "Fly Over Mexico."

I’m literally posting in a public forum. Now I’m hiding. LOL I didn’t realize data magically changes depending on who posts it. Who knew It’s understandable to say people put out a spin on data and this group is putting their spin out that is correcting the spin The Big Guy and his cronies are spitting out (that you aren’t bull f&uking s#!t ing about) And btw….we aren’t talking about fruit trees. Respectfully speaking of course

Isn't it just wonderful that Republicans are so devoted to a piece of crap like this that now we even have to have this conversation? Great job Republicans!!!!

when ths guy turns 35....can he run for president if congress hasn't blocked him from running? https://www.aol.com/jack-teixeira-us-airman-pleads-182224783.html

Here's the 14th Amendment, section 3. I'm not sure why you're bringing treason into this. It doesn't address treason. It also doesn't say anything about conviction or confessing in an open court. My original point was that the way the court ruled it makes it virtually impossible for an insurrectionist to be barred from holding office if the insurrectionist's party holds Congress, even with a conviction or confession of insurrection. If Trump was convicted do you see the current Congress barring him from holding office? That doesn't make a lot of sense either. https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-14/section-3/ "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability." Is it really an extraordinary circumstance? Jan 6th was over three years ago and it appears that there's a pretty good chance that Trump won't be tried before the election.

"And in the course of unnecessarily deciding all of these questions when they were not even presented by the case, the five-Justice majority effectively decided not only that the former president will never be subject to disqualification, but that no person who ever engages in an insurrection against the Constitution of the United States in the future will be disqualified under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Disqualification Clause — as the concurrence of Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson witheringly explain"

I can’t refute something that the other person is not willing to use common sense on. That link you posted is blaming “Bidenomics” for all the listed problems. Like he is solely responsible for anything and everything that happens in the economy. Yeah he takes credit for things he shouldn’t and he gets blamed for things he shouldn’t. That’s politicians being a politician and partisans doing what they do. Sorry if I’m not going to play along with the charade of it all being due to Bidenomics. In case you haven’t noticed, the economy kind of does what it’s going to do regardless the WH occupant. Certain policies may help or hinder but that little PAC funded hit piece is certainly nothing anybody should put much stock in. But go right ahead and keep teeing up the partisan BS, it’s what we expect.

I'm saying that section 3 doesn't require the threshold to be "convicted of insurrection" before being barred from running for office. Historical it hasn't been applied that way. I have a hard time believing that the authors, if they had intended that the threshold be conviction of insurrection, would not have spelled that out. If it required conviction what would happen in a situation where the participation in an insurrection was undertaken so closely to the election that a conviction wasn't possible? The district court judge in Colorado found that he participated in an insurrection. It's a dead amendment now with the way court ruled so why even have it?
