@ChrisStigall Does this also apply to your radio show, @ChrisStigall?

Whether you’re famous or whether no one knows your name - the press must be held to strict standards when reporting unfounded gossip.

@ChrisStigall It is absolutely glorious just how dim @ChrisStigall is.🤣

Not this Republican.

@rRhYsSsYhRr @todd20006 @DineshDSouza Nobody says that it's just as bad. Are you saying that because threats of genocide aren't as bad as acts of genocide, threats of genocide aren't bad at all?

@todd20006 @DineshDSouza Oh golly gee! Trump said things I think are mean! He didn't actually do any of the things he said, but saying them is just as bad! 😭

Once again, Trump outsmarts the critics. Once again he exposes their inner derangement. Once again he proves he is the adult in the room. Once again.

@seanhannity .@SeanHannity does this a lot, because he's stupid. When Trump does something unjustifiable, @SeanHannity thinks that it's part of some brilliant plan that nobody but Trump can understand.

HANNITY MONOLOGUE: President Trump's Detractors Refuse to Understand Him [WATCH] hannity.com/media-room/han…

@seanhannity Even by @SeanHannity's immense standards, this is a cataclysmically stupid take. And he viciously attacked anyone who said that the Iraq War was a bad idea.

For 11 years President Trump has been front and center on the world stage and the Legacy media, insane D’s, and even some R’s still do not understand him. I for one am enjoying the predictable meltdown. I’ll explain it all tomorrow. Here are two hints for you; 1- It’s about “Peace” not “war” 2- It’s “Chess” and not “checkers”. Enjoy your meltdown! You’re addicted to it!

@False_Shadows @StephenMoore Interesting that you point only to capital taxation and not labor income and consumption income (for which there is no peak according to the paper).

I most certainly did. It cites the self-financing percentages (especially the 79% for EU capital cuts) and the finding that capital-tax cuts raise revenue in the U.S./EU-14 as quantitative proof of Laffer’s core idea. Lower marginal rates expand economic activity enough to offset (or reverse) revenue losses—precisely the “prohibitive range” dynamic. The full working-paper version (NBER 15343 / Chicago PDF) has the tables and sensitivity analysis if you want deeper numbers. The paper also explicitly states that both the U.S. and EU-14 are on the wrong side of the peak for capital income taxation (a “Laffer hill”). Lowering capital taxes raises revenue in both places. Your quote pull is out of context.

After the Trump Tax Cuts, the share of taxes paid by the rich went UP. Data from the House Ways and Means Committee shows lower income Americans saw larger tax relief. Facts matter, even if Democrats won’t admit it.

@ChrisStigall lol @ChrisStigall. "Trust the process" = cultists gonna cult.

Trust the process…The Trump agenda!

@False_Shadows @StephenMoore Did you read it? From the highlights: "The US can increase revenues by 30% (6%) if labor (capital) taxes are raised."

@TruthBomb66 @StephenMoore Will this do? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@eawickham @StephenMoore Those numbers aren't even adjusted for population growth, a normal level of economic growth, or inflation. Tell me: how have these well-funded right-wing think tanks never published a paper showing tax cuts to increase revenue? It would rock the econ world if they did.

@TruthBomb66 @StephenMoore Look at the numbers. Numbers don't lie. There's a reason that Biden kept Trump's tax cuts.

@False_Shadows @StephenMoore Is there a reason you're not citing the economics literature?

I’m fortunate that you are not my financial advisor. No, government revenue does not increase more after tax hikes compared to tax cuts, based on empirical evidence from U.S. history and economic studies. The relationship is more nuanced due to the Laffer Curve concept: tax revenue = tax rate × taxable economic activity (income, profits, etc.). Higher rates can discourage work, investment, saving, or reporting, shrinking the tax base, while lower rates can expand it through stronger growth, reduced avoidance, and more activity

@False_Shadows @StephenMoore Revenues being up doesn't prove that we're to the right of the peak. Those who claim so ignore the fact that revenues USUALLY go up & don't adjust for pop. growth, inflation, & regular economic growth. Moreover, revenues generally increase more after tax hikes than after cuts.

Isn’t the principle of the Laffer Curve that when tax rates are reduced, tax inflows to the Treasury increase. The Curve illustrates a relationship between tax rates and tax revenue, proposing that both excessively high and low tax rates can lead to reduced tax revenue. Being on the right side of the curve is somewhat asymptotic, being at the apex (T) is the ideal. Year-to-date receipts (through February 2026) show continued growth. For instance, revenue through early 2026 periods was up ~$205 billion compared to the same period in the prior year. So what’s your issue?

@eawickham @StephenMoore Anybody who could show that tax cuts actually increase tax revenues would win the Nobel Prize in economics. It wouldn't even be close. voxbaby.blogspot.com/2007/01/new-ye… The evidence hasn't changed in the two decades since.

@TruthBomb66 @StephenMoore The numbers show it.

@False_Shadows @StephenMoore This doesn't prove that we're on the right-hand side of the Laffer curve at all. Why can't conservatives understand basic math?

@StephenMoore Seems Laffer for the “W”

@eawickham @StephenMoore Literally zero reputable studies show this.

@StephenMoore Tax revenue goes up after tax cuts. Every single time. That's as the Laffer Curve explains, lower taxes mean more investment, expansion and spending.

@RepClayHiggins Ooooh, look at fake tough-guy @RepClayHiggins. lol. What a little clown.

Media: “Congressman Higgins, you’re a MAGA Republican, so why did you say that the No Kings rallies were a success?” Me: “Because we were carefully observing Ma’am. Liberals gathered predictably, weather cooperated, crowds were thin but they tended to linger and pose… it was pretty much a flawless operation. We have millions of digital images, billions of identifying data points. Height, weight, shoe size, tattoos, gait… all of it. AI eats that stuff. Success.”

@ChrisStigall lol nobody - literally NOBODY - is infringing on your right to celebrate Holy Week, @ChrisStigall. But sure, go on making stuff up. You're certainly experienced at it.

It’s Holy Week. The politics of today hate it. It’s one of the biggest reasons I’m running to represent and defend your voice in Congress.

@i35Peanut @ChrisStigall Source?

@TruthBomb66 @ChrisStigall Obama himself talked about being gay 😂

So…let’s do this! I’m in this race to represent the great people of Missouri’s 6th Congressional District. It’s where I met my wife. Where my kids were born. My family’s called it home for five generations. I’m fighting to keep it great for the sixth!

@jeffaccordion @ChrisStigall Worked hard on that one, did you?

@TruthBomb66 @ChrisStigall You are gay.

@lsferguson lol holy shit, what a statement. Not good at math, are you?

I suspect our entire almost 40 trillion dollar national debt is due to fraud. I actually suspect the amount stolen from us is way higher. We are being robbed blind and absolutely nothing is done about it
