@EmmaRincon @Clagett No taxes now too

I went to a steakhouse in Miami, paid the bill, and they automatically added a 20% tip. When the waiter brought the check, he said: “That tip goes to the whole establishment—if you want to leave something for me, it’s extra.” I didn’t add anything else—20% is already too much. He gave me a dirty look, like I was robbing him. This tipping culture is out of control.

@ChrisMurphyCT You were in California.

Good afternoon. Speaker Johnson was sent a bill to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA that passed the Senate 100-0. If he had simply called it for a vote it would passed easily. But he chose chaos. Because that’s what Trump wants. Only Johnson can clean up this mess.

@pbdaileyfl @JammieWF Why would there be a flip? That makes no sense and when did it happen? The democrats have always been obsessed with race and wanted big government. Absolutely nothing has changed.

@JammieWF You need to learn history. Democratic Party flipped in late 1800s. Look at the fucking map and you’ll see the republicans turned into the democrats and vice versa. Nice try

Got a live one here. Don't tell him about his party founding the Klan.

@SissyJade @ewong @nytimes @RepSwalwell Thank you for making my point. Now the Swalwell files too.

@BlueStateBlues3 @ewong @nytimes @RepSwalwell The Mueller report is available to read.

NEW: Trump officials are rushing to collect decade-old FBI files on @RepSwalwell, a Democratic candidate for governor of CA, and Christine Fang, a suspected Chinese spy. The Justice Dept. never brought charges. Fang left for China in 2015. Scores of FBI agents are working on it.

@YourAnonCentral So you want a king?

At some point the US needs to get rid of Fox News, its a disinformation centre that has caused billions of dollars of irreparable damage to the country and aided foreign governments into mind breaking large swaths of the population. It's anti-democratic.

@esjesjesj So every other country is evil?

Easily the most evil Supreme Court we’ve ever had just for entertaining this

@IAPolls2022 Absurd.

Who did a better job handling Iran: Trump or Obama? 🟦 Barack Obama: 48% 🟥 Donald Trump: 38% —— • Dem: Obama 85-3 • GOP: Trump 79-5 • Indie: Obama 49-25 • White: Trump 45-38 • Black: Obama 63-9 • Hispanic: Obama 49-32 Yahoo/YouGov | 3/12-16 | RV yougov.com/en-us/articles…

@DJBranham Do you have to have the memory of a fruit fly to be on the left or do you have to lie to yourself to not die of embarrassment?

I have legit to see a leftist use the phrase toxic masculinity. Was it said once by a vaguely liberal person in 2015 and then the right has used it nonstop since then?

@teacherken @neeratanden Of you're too dumb to find your marriage license, you're too dumb to vote.

@neeratanden not just rural Americans. Consider the problem faced by women who took their husbands' names. I would bet that will significantly hurt more Republican woman than Democratic women. Be interested to see some data on that.

Smart Republicans know that this would hurt rural Americans more but they are too scared to tell Trump. How about we just don't burden voting like this and call it a day

@Milajoy How can they enforce this?

People who have left California are receiving letters telling them that they still need to pay California state taxes. They want them to PROVE the day they left. My gosh, if this doesn't show how broke California is I don't know what will.

@neeratanden Wait until you find out what democrats did to Trump. But then you cheered that.

Weaponizing the DoJ to go after opposition leaders the regime fears. If it happened in another country you'd say it's authoritarianism

@snboyle @SenLBR I renewed mine online. I didn't leave home.

@SenLBR Nothing. Added to that the federal government controlling access to and removing the convenience of obtaining a passport (by removing local library services for obtaining a passport).

What's the difference between an unconstitutional poll tax and requiring a $165 passport to vote?

@ScottMGreer @Cernovich Or overthrowing kings or ayatollahs.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that the No Kings protests were fixated more on ICE raids than the Iran war. The Left cares more about open borders than foreign policy

@NHHouseDems Everyone sees that you're lying and trying to force an income tax.

Press Release: Republicans Lay Groundwork for Massive Property Tax Hike #NHPolitics

@JPizzle60470785 @Pies_of_Lee Move to china if you think it's working there, but you won't.

@Pies_of_Lee Then when you say socialism works using china as an example, these same people will say no that's capitalism 🥴

"Real capitalism has never been tried"

@Romare @ChristianHeiens Try to keep up

@ChristianHeiens You support pedos. We want them arrested. We are better people than you.

If Donald Trump wins this case and manages to eliminate birthright citizenship, he will have singlehandedly done more to save our country than any politician in my lifetime.

@RepJohnLarson Without audits, we cannot trust our elections, obviously. Weird that Democrats are opposed to audits only for elections.

The Trump Administration wants their hands on your voter records. The GOP's "SAVE America Act" would force states to hand over that data – empowering Trump officials to purge voters from the rolls. We won't stand by and let them undermine our democracy! cbsnews.com/news/justice-d…

@unusual_whales Benefits are also capped and a millionaire gets a significantly lower return.

Murray: Is it true that people making under $184k pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate? Dahl: Yes Murray: And the rate for someone making $1 million? Dahl: 2.2% Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184k, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.

@DegenRolf You had to do a study to know this??

Male refugees from Afghanistan and Syria in Germany show a keen interest in forming relationships with local women, but the local women show little interest in forming relationships with them. Germany, in particular, received over 1,4 million refugees between 2014 and 2016, predominantly from Muslim-majority countries such as Syria and Afghanistan. The majority of these arrivals consisted of young, single men within prime marriageable age brackets. This study examines partnership preferences of male refugees from Afghanistan and Syria who arrived in Germany between 2014 and 2016 and female residents of similar age. Overall, our results indicate a high level of openness among male refugees towards partnering with female members of the resident population, but a comparatively low level of openness among the latter towards partnering with recently arrived male refugees. This implies a substantial incongruence in partnership preferences among the two groups. Regarding the educational level of a potential partner, we found that all respondents prefer highly educated partners over those with lower levels of education. This suggests that, for refugees, securing a highly educated partner might serve as a means of upward social mobility and integration into higher-status networks in the host society. Furthermore, it is possible that highly educated women, due to their greater exposure to diverse social environments and potentially less discriminatory attitudes, are perceived as more open to intergroup partnerships, making them a more attractive choice for refugees seeking acceptance and social integration. On the other hand, the reluctance of resident women to accept partnerships with refugees is largely explained by their rejection of the ‘imported’ religious Islam. It is possible that resident women perceive the religious practices of newly arrived refugees as different from their own, reinforcing a social distance that limits intergroup partnerships. Moreover, this reluctance might not only reflect religious differences but also concerns about gender norms or perceived lifestyle incompatibilities.

@nhliberty They said the same when enacting the Connecticut income tax. My Connecticut property taxes are over double my NH taxes and going up another 9% this year.

“If we’d just add a little income tax we can lower our property taxes.” Biggest 🤡 lie 🤡 ever 🤡
