It's weird seeing people talk about inflation as result of policies when debt and inflation are baked into the system. Frankly it seems there is no getting off the debt slavery ride at this point, so might as well accelerate until it crashes.
 
It might be the combination of: (1) It's always popular for the left to bash Christians, and (2) The left still considers Muslims part of their voting base even though the increasing focus on gender and identity politics has alienated them as we saw in the 2024 election.
That, and the Christians are used to the bashing. Oh, and they won't lynch your artists or bomb your workplace if you criticize them. Worst case scenario, you get a strongly-worded letter from the Catholic League or some randos yelling "God hates fags!" at your front door.
 
So, is A&N on the camp of hating Elon Musk despite allowing you people to say the N word on Twitter?

Late reply I know, Elon Musk is hardly someone I consider worth exhausting any brain cells or sweat over, he's the usual bombastic egoist without the charm of his superiors. The worst part about him is speaking out of rank on shit he has no fucking clue what he's on about, especially if it's speaking for someone who does know exactly what he campaigned on. It's clear Musk doesn't memorize the campaign trail and has severe tunnel vision for it.
 
Until congressional representatives in the House and Senate are capable of bipartisanship and passing much smaller legislation instead of sweeping omnibus bills, we're stuck with one gigantic bill passed through budget reconciliation regardless of who has the slim majority in Congress. "Build Back Better" is hardly superior to the "Big Beautiful Bill," but between the two, Trump's BBB having a provision on no tax being taken from overtime directly benefits me.
So I do have some minor quibbles with the overtime deduction. Unfortunately, you need to itemize to get it, and the overtime deduction appears to cap out at 12.5k, (25k if filing jointly). But the standard deduction is 15k (30k jointly), so you're going to need to find another 2.5k-5k of deductions to make it worth it, which might come up during SALT deductions, but then you might start trending closer to that phase out side and miss the overtime. So if you're a W2 wagie that doesn't have a lot going on to get a bit more, you're just going to settle on the fat 15-30k standard deduction, which is still fairly big. Have a fat mortgage early in its life cycle and your state likes to tax you out the ass while not making an absolute ton of money? This might not be too bad.
 
Better track record for what? If your #1 political goal was mass deportations, you would be doing your cause a disservice by not pushing back against Trump being retarded with regards to the agricultural workers and legal jeets. He's obviously better than any democrat would be but it's nowhere near what many people want.
Nowhere near that yet. Because ICE has about 50K holding capacity and the BBB will give them the resources to expand that, I know logistics aren't sexy, but they are important. The difference is I have faith they will ramp up and I don't immediately assume the worst about every thing. As for track records, how many of the panicky niggerfaggots that were here predicting that we'd be in another forever war are still here? There's this consistent pattern of emotionally incontinent blackpillers and demoralizers who freak out at the smallest thing. You say "trusting the plan" gets tiring, but listening to faggots whine, bitch, and moan, and not have their fears come to pass all the damn time gets old. On a long enough time line, statistically speaking, they'll eventually be right about something and when they are they'll be insufferable about it, quietly never bringing up how they were wrong 99.9% of the time.

Perhaps read the ancient Russian fairy tail of the Boy Who Cried Wolf.
 
It might be small but the commie faggot pamphlets account got btfo'd by grok after trying to debooonk the current low egg prices x

While I'd prefer the niggers picking cotton wetbacks picking apples get thrown the fuck out of the country, I'd settle for legislation that fucks over the apple orchards and warehouses hiring them, making it so they can't compete illegally with native or naturalized Americans. This too, would solve one of the problems -- and we can always deport their asses later.
 
I can't believe this dumb nigger bitch actually writes out her opinions as if it's a fucking Twitter rant. "Full Stop." And "...wait for it..." enshrined in the legal lexicon of the US judicial system?! How long until she starts writing handclapping emojis in her opinions??? I can't wait for the inevitable dissenting opinion on some ruling when she states that "Y'all👏🏿finna👏🏿find👏🏿out👏🏿about👏🏿law fo' real!"
Old topic but it’s been bugging me. Her inability to use professional language and make her points concisely has been brought up, but I’m hung up on the fact that these were her first arguments. She really internalized ‘a black woman is speaking, listen and learn,’ brand new to the bench but already thought she knew it all. To me that’s the really telling sign she’s a complete idiot.

I think she legit retarded.

It's not just about numbers. Trump has said multiple times at this point that he wants to carve out provisions for specific illegals, and wants to increase legal immigration. ICE could have all the resources in the world but if the leadership isn't there it won't happen.

We never really liked Elon we were only using him for his money. Just like grimes.

And yet he's consistently reduced both illegal and legal migration, while actively deporting illegals. See, I'm realistic about the time frame for all this. I would assume most Kiwis are familiar with the criticisms of Holocaust numbers because of the state of German logistics and America, most likely, has at least 30-50 Million people who should not be here. Those can't be deported over night, the logistics are literally not there for it yet. Trump has earned, at the very least, a little benefit of the doubt because whatever he's said, his actions are consistent with what I want.

Someday maybe people will learn to take Trump seriously and not literally. Probably about the same time people read Art of the Deal, but maybe someday.
