@fleetbuilder What value does an insurance salesman bring to society? Someone who needs insurance needs insurance. So the salesmen trade contracts back and forth taking a cut while contributing nothing to society. They know it too thats why the industry has rampant alcoholism and drug use.

@fleetbuilder We should absolutely judge and TAX based upon HOW someone makes their money. Insurance salesman? Slimy banker? Tax the HELL out of them. I don’t care how “hard” it is to reach that level. Those scumbags, like Brian Thompson, should not make more than doctors.

Guy I went to college with sells insurance Thought he had a boring business Just found out he makes $400k a year take home Works 9-3 Takes most Fridays off to golf with clients He's on year 7 of his own business Maybe boring wins Why aren’t more people doing this?

@UziCryptoo We should absolutely judge and TAX based upon HOW someone makes their money. Insurance salesman? Slimy banker? Tax the HELL out of them. I don’t care how “hard” it is to reach that level. Those scumbags, like Brian Thompson, should not make more than doctors.

@Cernovich Then Trump needs to stop being a retard going after Massie, MTG, etc. when he should be going after SWAMP Senators. Has he single out a single GOP Senator as a Swamp Rat and worked to remove them? Nope. The Dems at least stab us in the chest…

For many people, 2024 was the first election where they felt buy-in. I understand the frustration and even outrage. But look at Somalia in Minnesota. Druggie Island in Los Angeles. Vote Republican, keep supporting primary challengers like Nate Morris and Ken Paxton.

There’s no solution that isn’t extralegal, sorry. And I’m not going to do it, because I’m not willing to go to jail for strangers. But there is only one way any of this changes and it’s not elections. There isn’t enough money or coordination. The entire class of lawyers and judges and activists simply need to understand going forward that this isn’t acceptable and there will be consequences.

@Cernovich I will not vote for the GOP until Trump forces through his agenda OR declares war on the Senate then names and shames those assholes. If he refuses to do that then I will vote for those Dems who will impeach him and arrest his entire family. The Senate is the enemy. Win or War

The Senate left but it's not in recess. Thune is denying Trump the ability to make recess appointments via these tricky games. Trump isn't talking about this. Maybe he doens't understand? JD was in the Senate and could explain this. Why it's not a bigger deal is a mystery to me.

@JesseKellyDC I will not vote for the GOP until Trump either forces through his agenda OR declares war on the Senate then names and shames those assholes. Like HERE. RIGHT NOW. If he refuses to do that then I will vote for those who will impeach him and arrest his entire family.

Gotta give Trump credit where it’s due. Many of us freaked out at the prospect of him getting involved for Cornyn. For whatever reason, he backed off. He deserves credit. Also, if I’m Trump, I’m having a little chat with the people who tried to sell me that Cornyn endorsement…

@NickJFreitas I will not vote for the GOP until Trump either forces through his agenda OR declares war on the Senate then names, shames and ousts those assholes. If he refuses to do that then I will vote for those who will impeach him and arrest his entire family.

The left wants to rule and the right wants to be left alone. The right suffers from failing to realize that you can only be left alone if the politicians who want to leave you alone rule. That is not always Republicans but it’s is NEVER Democrats And before you tell me “not good enough” I’m going to ask you whether or not you vote in all the primaries. Because if you don’t, you’re helping to ensure that you never get the kind of Republicans you want.

@Notwokenow I will not vote for the GOP until Trump either forces through his agenda OR declares war on the Senate then names and shames those assholes. If he refuses to do that then I will vote for those who will impeach him and arrest his entire family.

When conservatives say they won’t vote this November, the left has gotten exactly what they want: Voter apathy. Because Democrats remain passionate voters. Patriots vote. Citizens who love and want to preserve and save this country VOTE. Voter apathy is for losers.

@C_3C_3 Like I have been saying… I will not vote for the GOP until Trump either forces through his agenda OR declares war on the Senate then names and shames those assholes. If he refuses to do that then I will vote for those who will impeach him and arrest his entire family.

This is how the GOP Senate blocks Trump from recess appointments. 2 minute pro forma sessions every few days during their vacation. Only POTUS in history that has had recess appointments blocked by his own party. Think about that. Traitors. Sickening.

@stoolpresidente Fran McCaffrey is yelling at a LensCrafters associate right now.

Rico still thinks Iowa made a mistake getting rid of Fran.

We need an economic moonshot for Gen Z. 10 million new homes 10 million deportations No foreign buyers No institutional investors Tax breaks for first-time home buyers Abolish the H-1B scam End invasion level LEGAL immigration New homes > New wars 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@APG1975 @CommishSmith What qualifications did our Founding Fathers have? The Wright Brothers? Elon’s ventures? Stop being a bureaucracy worshipping pheygot

@CommishSmith It's really about the qualifications needed to run that particular office properly. What "qualifies" him is his reputation as a combative, "MAGAT warrior."

I'm not going to dis AOC's B.A., but do you really think earning a bachelor's degree is a more impressive achievement than taking a small family business w/ 6 employees and turning it into a company with over 300 employees and $20 million in annual sales? If so, you're an idiot.

@Simon111xyz @dollargamma @BoringBiz_ Nice. I remember doing some blow with that grown child at that Nantucket house a few years before they committed suicide. Didn’t even mention the parents in the note. Thanked the nanny.

@dollargamma @BoringBiz_ Imagine your child having a summer home on Nantucket.

This actually resonated with me a ton because it is also the exact reason I decided banking was not for me Vividly remember, it was 10:30 pm the night before a major holiday. Every single person in the office was still there, including my MDs and VPs One MD was missing a family get together to be there. Another VP had just had a kid with his wife a few months ago. They were all still working away at the office at that hour, putting together a deck that the client was likely going to spend less than a few minutes on I looked around and simply thought that I didn’t want that to be me in 15 years Not saying it is good or bad, but it’s certainly not the lifestyle for everybody

@pablofindsout @ProFootballTalk It’s like Realtors taking 6% on a $200k median house was fine. Wanting 6% on a $500k median house that inflated overnight? Yea, go F yourself. You didn’t earn that much. Same thing here…

"The NFL's revenues have gotten to the point where they're saying, 'We really don't need to give the players half of everything we're making.'" —@ProFootballTalk believes NFL owners are going to "make a run" at getting rid of the 50/50 revenue split between the players and owners

Jimmy Carr just dropped a radical rethink of taxes, education, and national wealth: - No tax for anyone under 30 → let young people keep every penny they earn and actually start their lives. - University should be free… but only for STEM fields that grow society (not a luxury item for 50% of kids). - Over 60? No tax either — stop pretending we can pay endless pensions with fewer young workers. - Sovereign wealth fund from UK oil, gas, wind farms, and mobile masts — assets that should belong to everyone, not just the Crown. On AI and the future: We need flexibility of thought. Old ideologies won’t cut it when everything changes. Why does everything have to come from taxing workers? Why not undercut Ireland on corporation tax, mine Bitcoin with idle power stations, or treat national resources as shared wealth? Do you think no-tax zones for the young and old + free STEM education could actually work? Or is this too radical for a country stuck in old thinking? Your take 👇

@WhozMEECH The game is ass. It’s been solved. Low effort & zero passion from the players. No defense. Foul baiting. Filled with unrelatable freaks like Wemby, Giannis, Durant….it’s like watching kids on a Fischer Price hoop. They’re all China loving traitors and sellouts. I could go on…

The product is not nearly as good as it was in the, 90s, 2000s and 2010s. And get this, it’s NOT because of social media or because people have “more to do” now than ever. Because they don’t. Most people stay at home and are on their phones or watching TV. If the product was good it would thrive more now than ever. Imagine if fro-Kobe, peak Shaq, peak Duncan, McGrady, young LeBron, young Wade, young Durant, KG, Dirk, Iverson, Vince Carter and other stars from the 2000s replaced the stars of the NBA today. And they had the same competitive defensive mindset the 2000s had. The league would be thriving at levels it’s never seen before. The league isn’t even suffering because the stars of the NBA aren’t good enough or don’t compare to the 2000s generation. There are so many great stars today. The problem is they don’t start playing with effort until after the all star break and the foul baiting and overall NBA culture is just GARBAGE compared to previous eras. The data shows it. People don’t like the product. Bring back competitive spirit and defense. This why when Kobe retired people predicted not having his competitive spirit around in the league would make the league worse in time. And they were right.

@MicahhParsons11 The game is TRASH. NCAA is much more entertaining.

Uh oh!

BREAKING: White smoke in Tel Aviv indicates that Israel has chosen a new OnlyFans CEO

The magic seems to have gone from football, boxing, ufc Greed is killing the hype. Football is overloaded, boxing is fractured, UFC is nonstop filler. Promoters don’t care about legacy, they just squeezing every last pound out of fans on shite fights and i think people are now losing interest.
