@shadothecat @NotoriousAKG EU also doesn't have the 2a and has public health care. Should we do that as well?

@NotoriousAKG Eu doesnt do birthright citizenship

If you think birthright citizenship is bad, wait until you meet the Bureau of Naturalization. You have a baby. Great. Now produce evidence you are a citizen. You aren't? What about the father? Oh he's a citizen? Well are we sure he's the father? We'll need a DNA test. Fill out some forms, and send them to the government with a fee. If your documentation passes muster, they'll issue a certificate of some kind. If not, they'll send you a request for additional documentation. When your kid is approved, the first certificate will misspell his name, so you'll have to contact this Bureau and request a correction. Is there a deadline by which you have to claim citizenship? What will happen to babies born in remote, poor, rural areas? Will many of them simply be stateless? If we end birthright citizenship, we are going to get a hard lesson in why Chesterton's Fence was built in the first place.

@NikkiHaleyFan02 @NewsWire_US Might want to learn what a step up basis is on the inheritance of a home is then.

@NewsWire_US Almost every home in NYC is worth more than 750k. This is a tax grab on normal working people!

@celtics @Dwhite921 @FCHWPO @Drewdle25 needs to drop a Jaylen "Butter Smooth" Brown reference tonight

Off night = movie night 🍿🎬 @Dwhite921 confirmed afterwards that @FCHWPO is a yapper during movies 🤣

@Marc_DAmico Jokic gets his fair share

Does anyone in the NBA get scar-level scratches more often than Payton Pritchard? Feels like it happens every week. Currently has two different ones, one on each side

@CoffeeKyng @StoolGreenie He'll probably be converted towards the end of the season, after the 10 day contracts. They are likely letting these lapse, then sign another 2 players to 10 days after 2 weeks. Wouldn't want to risk Harper Jr becoming a free agent.

@StoolGreenie Kind of intrigued that Harper Jr. hasn’t been chosen…

Welcome! (for the next 10 days)

@yifever That 200k number sounds good, but then you realize that is only 38k in today's dollars, assuming 3% inflation.

is the entire trump account thing vibecoded? how does contributing $0/yr give me more money than $250/yr? did anyone check this before shipping at all?

@JonoPaul1 @fred_guttenberg The real question you should be asking is why the ice agent in the grey jacket has no head.

@fred_guttenberg so this is my question and what is tripping me out. this definitely DOES NOT look like a cellphone but it definitely DOES not look like a gun, either. I can see a gun looking handle but then it just goes horizontal with nothing vertical from there. What the fuck is it though?!?!

NEVER FORGET THIS PHOTO. THIS MAN WAS MURDERED BY A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE CURRENTLY OPERATING OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

@CloudyBRM @DatRamJamHam @AriDrennen Generally, property taxes are at the local town/county/special district level and pay for critical things such as education, police, fire, town parks/recreation, town related maintenance. Take away property taxes and what pays for this at a local level?

@DatRamJamHam @AriDrennen Usually property taxes are rolled up into the payments of a house. Over a 30 year loan on a property and taxes being sent to the state. How many more years of property taxes does the state want? There should be a cap on acreage of land to the state/county/city once it’s sold.

The Boomer crusade against paying taxes on all the houses they all own might actually be the thing that sends us over the edge

@BGOnTheScene Oh, so you don't immediately die in that situation?

Nick Sortor drives forward as protesters are in front of the vehicle he’s driving

@Azel_OhWell @speechboy71 It's a one way street with two lanes. It's why you see cars parked on both sides facing one direction and no double yellow lines.

@speechboy71 Multiple cars passing by going around her and driving onto the oncoming traffic lane because she’s actually blocking the legal path cars should be driving.

“you can clearly see Renee Good’s vehicle blocking ICE agents” Multiple cars pass Good’s car in this video

@GrageDustin So a minor inconvenience lead to her death? Why the fuck did that one agent rush her vehicle to throw her out of the car when multiple cars easily passed her?

🚨 BREAKING: Was just sent a video showing the moments before the shooting. In it, you can clearly see Renee Good’s vehicle blocking ICE agents for over 3 minutes as she’s dancing to her own car horn. Kinda ruins some narratives, doesn’t it?

@docgotham @speechboy71 @AlecMacGillis Well Gemini is clearly wrong because at the time of the shooting he was at the corner of the driver side, not passenger side. So you can just disregard the rest of its analysis.

Here's a Google Gemini analysis of the frame: Based on the visual evidence in the image, it is highly probable that the person filming is standing partially in front of or very close to the passenger side of the dark vehicle. Here is a breakdown of why: Visual Indicators * Foreground Obstruction: The blurry, metallic object in the bottom right corner is the front grille and headlight area of the dark vehicle. Its position in the frame suggests the camera is angled across the front of that car. * Angle of View: The camera is looking "up" the side of the white SUV. To get this specific perspective while also catching the grille of the dark car in the lower right, the photographer must be positioned between the two vehicles or slightly ahead of the dark one. * Proximity: The extreme blur of the dark vehicle's grille indicates it is very close to the lens (well within the minimum focus distance), which happens when someone is standing right up against a car while filming something else. Summary of Position The person is likely standing in the gap between the two cars, positioned near the front right corner (passenger side) of the dark vehicle, aiming their phone toward the driver's side of the white SUV.

I'm not sure how much clearer one can get. This is a freeze frame from Ross's camera, a half-second before he fired the first shot. He is not in front of Good's vehicle

@viktorg475 @MrMarketInsight @money_cruncher Not exactly. You don't have to pay any fees for non-medical withdrawals after age 65, but it is taxed as income. So it acts more like a traditional IRA.

@MrMarketInsight @money_cruncher The HSA is a second Roth IRA. Use it after 70.

HSA hack: I have $500 in my HSA in cash (minimum required). The rest is invested in the S&P 500. When I get medical expenses (like paying for a doctor visit or dental stuff), I pay with my credit card. Take a pic of the receipt. I keep track of expenses in a spreadsheet. Will reimburse myself from HSA in years to come. Will continue this for 20+ years unless they change the law. In that case, I will just reimburse myself for all the prior expenses before the law takes effect.

@Tatumburneracct @TruthLounge34

@TruthLounge34 Then name the playoff moments then where he has “risen to the occasion” in the biggest moment?

Jaylen brown literally has zero playoff moments with his back against the wall. The closest I can give him is g3 in 2022 against Miami series tied 1-1. Other than that he literally has no actual playoff moments Meanwhile Tatum holds the record for most pts in a game 7

@Jindo_1307979 983

Tell me the number that is biggest then this 99.9% will fail

@quantballs @RationalDis @VladTheInflator Retirement (aka 401k). At that income, likely maxing out at 23.5k plus could also be doing some Roth deductions as well. They could also have hdhp with HSA and fully funding the HSA.

@RationalDis @VladTheInflator Assuming insurance costs 1k/month (it doesn’t) that amounts to 46k/yr in taxes What the fuck do you think is going on here?

This is just fucking theft

@BskiMike22802 @ChrisDJackson You're right about the pandemic causing the unemployment rates under Trump I. But did you ever stop to think that that same pandemic lead to the inflation under Biden? There's a reason almost every developed country faced the same high inflation despite different approaches.

Dear @ChrisDJackson, Oh, this is rich. You're accusing others of "gaslighting and stripping all context" while doing EXACTLY that yourself. The irony is thicker than a bowl of cold oatmeal. Let's talk about that unemployment spike you conveniently blame on Trump. You know what caused it? A GLOBAL PANDEMIC and government-mandated shutdowns. Every single nation on Earth saw unemployment spike. But Trump's economy recovered 12.5 million jobs before he left office. You're essentially blaming him for a meteor strike. Now let's discuss YOUR context-free inflation claim. Yes, inflation was 2.9% when Biden left. But here's what you're desperately hoping nobody notices: CUMULATIVE INFLATION under Biden was approximately 21.4%. That's a permanent 21% INCREASE in the cost of everything families buy. That 9.1% peak in June 2022? The highest in FOUR DECADES. You don't get credit for slowly bringing down the fire you started while the house is still burned. And why did inflation spike? Mainstream research from the Cleveland Fed, Brookings Institution, and SF Fed confirms that Biden's massive deficit-financed spending packages pumped demand into constrained supply. The American Rescue Plan alone injected $1.9 TRILLION when the economy was already recovering. That's not Republican propaganda, that's the Federal Reserve's own analysis. Here's the part that exposes you as a few sandwiches short of a picnic: bragging about inflation "only" being 2.9% while prices are PERMANENTLY 21% higher is like a arsonist bragging that the fire is "only" spreading at 3% per hour after burning down 90% of the building. Families don't care about the rate of increase, they care that eggs, gas, rent, and groceries cost 21% MORE than when Biden took office. This follows QUINN'S LAW #1: "Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent." Democrats claimed their spending would reduce inflation. It exploded it instead. Now you're rebranding the disaster as success. Meanwhile, since Trump took office in January 2025, core inflation has tracked at just 2.1%, levels not seen since his first term. Gas prices hit their lowest summer levels since 2021. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ reached record highs. But sure, keep cherry-picking your statistics. Oh, and speaking of your party's priorities: while you're doing inflation math gymnastics, 50,000+ combat-wounded medically retired veterans are STILL being robbed of their earned benefits because BOTH parties refuse to pass the Major Richard Star Act. Cost? $8-10 billion over TEN YEARS. Your party found trillions for COVID spending that caused this inflation but can't find pocket change for wounded warriors. But what do I know? I'm only someone who understands that cumulative inflation and the inflation RATE are two different things, and that apparently requires more economic literacy than the left possesses. #MAGA #Trump #Dems #Democrats #VoteBlue

Since these clowns insist on gaslighting and stripping all context, let’s put the facts back where they belong. Inflation was 2.9% when Biden left office. Since they want to play these silly games, it should be pointed out unemployment was nearly 20% during Trump’s first term. Joe Biden took that wreckage and drove it down to 3.4%. @TheDemocrats should be hammering this nonstop. If they want to play games with numbers, throw the full record right back at them.

@Necrofamicon @TboneetonY @Ferd_Turgeson The amount of people who don't know this is crazy. Lol. Invested properly, the lump sum will likely pay out more than the annuity as well.

@TboneetonY @Ferd_Turgeson The reason the lump sum is so much smaller is that the advertised jackpot is a 25 year annuity and the lump sum is the principle for the annuity. The top marginal tax rate is 37%, the government didn’t take 75% in taxes.

A scam where your $5 turns into a paltry $492.6m

@BeardOperator @anthonyzNFT @barneyxbt Fun fact, at a modest 3% growth 900 million will equal 2.1 billion in 30 years which is what the Powerball annuity terms are

@anthonyzNFT @barneyxbt No. She took the lump sum payout option which immediately cuts the jackpot in half. Then the gov takes their cut which about half of that. But yeah. Any lump sum payout you end up with about 25% of the jackpot. It’s wild.

this math is crazy what a scam
