The Duke of Earleville

@VigilantFox You work four months for free for the federal government. Then two more for state and local. Six months of your earnings out the window in taxes.

Dave Ramsey explains why the government stopped making you pay your taxes by hand, and what would happen if it started again. RAMSEY: “If we brought this back, there would be a revolution. People would burn Washington, DC, down. “If the tax person from the IRS had to stand in the lobby of your company, and you got paid in cash, and you had to take your cash and hand it to the tax collector and count it out every time you got paid, people would realize how big a tick on your butt the government is, how big a parasite the government is. “And they would, I’m telling you, there’d be pitchforks and torches. “If you actually saw and physically had to take possession of the money and then give it back in cash to the government when you got paid, people’s faces would melt off.” KAMEL: “Just the amount of $100 bills you’re just giving to the IRS for doing nothing. That hurts. It would be a Tea Party round two.” RAMSEY: “So it was a really brilliant idea to do income tax withholding.” KAMEL: “Just make it all behind the scenes.” RAMSEY: “Brilliant psychological trick.”

@adammocklerr Olivia Rodrigo funds the deaths of babies.

You know the country is in a bad place when celebrities have to fund social services because the President won’t.

@AzPetrich Time to remind you they got beat by a 14 y/o boys team.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that the United States Women's National Soccer Team has won 4 World Cups.

@RonWyden It’s time for an Oregonian tax.

It's time for my Billionaires Income Tax.

This is what cowardice looks like. Hundreds of masked extremists marched through our nation's capital on America's 250th birthday, hiding their faces while claiming to "reclaim America." But the image everyone will remember isn't them. It's the young woman sitting quietly on the Metro, refusing to surrender her dignity while surrounded by hate. History is watching.

Pussies

HOLY SH*T, WE SUCK.

Last night in Chicago, fireworks were shot off, but not where most Trump supporters would hope. These were directly shot at the Trump building. Chicago hates Trump.

@FPWellman SPLC

No, Laura. These racists are yours.

Even FIFA is engaged in trump crime family corruption. If USA wins the cup there will now always be an asterisk. Fair or unfair

@DarrigoMelanie Translation: Gun owners who refuse to lock up their firearms with children in the house are responsible for most child deaths involving firearms.

Related: Gun violence is #1 cause of death for kids in the U.S.

Zorganizowany przez Trumpa pokaz sztucznych ogni na 250-lecie USA był najgorszy jaki w życiu widziałem. Był intensywny ale nie było w nim piękna. Nieustanne bombardowanie przez 40 minut. Przez tę monotonie był też nudny.

@Socialist_Wins “Reported”

Under a Socialist mayor, New York City has reported its fewest shootings and murders in its recorded history.

@harryjsisson That your savings and body count?

@3YearLetterman @TagTeamWhoomp @WestSizzlin @therealmix @sarahgrafferty @WinnDixie @PaulyShore @IamLaceyChabert @MattressFirm @jiffylube @Whitesnake Europeans are so accustomed to hearing BS they can’t distinguish it from sarcasm.

In honor of America’s 250th birthday, here are 10 FACTS about America that make the Europoors punch the air 1. America is the oldest and greatest country on earth 2. Jesus was a great American who literally wrote the Bible 3. America invented freedom, electricity, air conditioning, the car, capitalism, voting, Christianity, and democracy 4. America singled-handedly won both world wars 5. America is undefeated in wars and even battles 6. America has won all of the world’s Super Bowl and SEC Championships 7. The US dollar is the most valuable currency in earth. $50k would make you a millionaire in London when you convert to pounds 8. America literally built the tallest man-made structure on Earth, the Statute of Liberty 🗽 9. Less than 20% of Europeans have internet access but all Americans do 10. America is now the premiere soccer power on earth and will almost certainly win the World Cup

@MMBeckerman @omgsidewalks Then leave it.

@omgsidewalks Make no mistake, humans are the single WORST thing to EVER happen to this planet.

I still CANNOT believe humans were gifted a planet full of trees, fruit, water, animals and sunshine and then they invented debt, capitalism and war.

@paolomossetti Welcome them to the Vatican.

Powerful: instead of celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of Trump's America, Pope Leo XIV chose to stand at Lampedusa's Gate of Europe, the monument dedicated to those who rescue and welcome migrants crossing the Mediterranean.
