@Layton5617 @ZacksJerryRig He is using the presidency to live rich and massively increase his networth without taking the actual salary. His whole crypto scam thing was a great example of that

@Layton5617 @ZacksJerryRig Seattle times is paywalled, but the next two seem to support that Trump is spending a lot of taxpayer money on vacations (the same ones he criticized Obama for having, the he has many more). And my sourse were the Guardian and Forbes. Point being, Trump doesn't need the salary as

A single golf trip at his own resort (that he does every week) earns him *twice* as much as Bidens entire 4 year salary.
Every. Single. Week.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump is infuriating the Democrats by CONFIRMING he takes a $0 DOLLAR salary, compared to other presidents He just loves America 🇺🇸🇺🇸
English
@Layton5617 @ZacksJerryRig I'm not sure what specific numbers they are pulling for money *earned* by these trips, but trips found they cost liege 14 million dollars all the way back in his first term, so I can only imagine what it costs now. You can also see his net worth exploded thanks to presidency
English
@ZacksJerryRig Can you provide explicit details for your claims? I am willing to learn something new.

@CharlieX2025 @tomaskenn As much as I dislike the Democrats, their plan was to never get us into this mess in the first place my maintaining the nuclear agreement from the Obama administration that Trump threw away in his first term

The administration just had diplomatic talks collapse in Islamabad and you are praising the Secretary of State throwing up 305 signs at an UFC fight in Miami. You are all unserious people.

@ForensicsKuria @DKman28163645 @DeeWaynee94 Well yes, in this case you should appeal to the authorities on the subject

This is what happens when people think evolution means every fossil should look like a Pokémon upgrade.
Some lineages stay broadly similar for very long periods, and fossil members of Apis are explicitly described as morphologically similar to living honey bees.
Evolution is in the lineage, genetics, and accumulated change, not your demand for a cartoon transformation.

@DonRoge09938702 @Bigqadi How is 1912 relevant? The pungent of the post is that the minimum wage has not kept up with the cost of living
English
@TheFriendlySoc1 @Bigqadi There it is! You got the first part figured out!
Now, part 2?
English
In the 1930s, average rent was $18 a month. At $0.25/hour, you could pay rent in 72 hours of work. Today, to pay $1000 rent at the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour, you gotta work 138 hours.
WELCOME TO BLACK TWlTTER @blacktwiterthrd
In 1938, the first federal minimum wage was established at $0.25 an hour across the country.
English
@DonRoge09938702 @Bigqadi There wasn't a federal minimum wage in 1912. Did you read the post?
English
@Bigqadi Now, you logic WOULD make sense if 1912 told the same story.
- What was minimum wage in 1912?
-What was the average salary and housing payment?
Does your argument still hold water? Why or why not?

@Quickbanhim @JohnCleese Not what was said at all. Most of the clients were men, so the fact that a woman is the main arrest so far is just very interesting
English
@JohnCleese You haven’t read the files have you. The traffickers were basically all women. Now your misogyny will tell you, despite those evil acts, because they are women, they can’t be held accountable, they must have been victims right?

More than three million pages from the Epstein files are now public. Cannibalism. Rape. Murder. Pedophilia. Not a single arrest. Not a single investigation. How cruel world we are living in.

@mikeybat24 @amazingatheist Yeah, id say in this day and age thays a pretty rare occurrence. If it happens, people have phones, they take photos, then that person's reputation is ruined, so why bother

@amazingatheist People still do blackface. You’re telling me there’s no Halloween party someplace where someone shows up in black face?

Conservatives, I know you guys are going to want to just knee-jerk support this, but let's see the bigger picture here: together, we can actually get rid of this fucking shitweasel. All we have to do is pretend to be legitimately offended by this and he's gone. Okay? We all clear on the plan?

Jake Paul is planning to do a blackface skit in response to Druski's Erika Kirk parody.

@WayBack69420 @mil000 I mean I think the flip side is that it is tax payer money so spending extra money on things like video equipment and drone footage could be seen as an unnecessary waste, especially by conservatives concerned with cost cutting

@souljagoyteller You libs with your TDS have absolutely lost your minds. Go find another pastime. Or do some research on what past Presidents have done or said -recently.
Trump owns space in your heads and it's gone from laughable to scary.

@JayTLDaGoat @SaintHeartwing @Teh_Snowflake @ChudsOfTikTok My point is that viewing it as a spectrum isn't an accurate framing
English
@TheFriendlySoc1 @SaintHeartwing @Teh_Snowflake @ChudsOfTikTok Well yes, if you straw man any point it's going to look stupid. The fact you resort exclusively to a strawman instead of being able to answer a simple question is surely a debate strategy. I can't say it's a good one.
English
@JayTLDaGoat @EmbitteredThe @SaintHeartwing @Teh_Snowflake @ChudsOfTikTok Communism is a form of socialism. All communism is socialism, not all socialism is communism. Like squares and rectangles
English
@EmbitteredThe @TheFriendlySoc1 @SaintHeartwing @Teh_Snowflake @ChudsOfTikTok What is socialism if not a bridge between communism and capitalism. What pieces of socialism stand out from being part of either of the other 2 systems?
English
@JayTLDaGoat @SaintHeartwing @Teh_Snowflake @ChudsOfTikTok "Socialism is when the government does stuff and if it does a lot of stuff, that's communism
English
@JayTLDaGoat @SaintHeartwing @Teh_Snowflake @ChudsOfTikTok I think as soon as you start viewing these different economic systems as a spectrum, you've sort of lost credibility when discussing them
English
@JayTLDaGoat @SaintHeartwing @Teh_Snowflake @ChudsOfTikTok Yet every time the government tries to regulate capitalism, people scream that it is socialism
English
@TheFriendlySoc1 @SaintHeartwing @Teh_Snowflake @ChudsOfTikTok No one has to be exploited if the government does it's job and regulates companies properly. The entire issue is the government.
If it can't do it's job in a capitalist society it's doomed in a socialist society.
English
@SaintHeartwing @Teh_Snowflake @ChudsOfTikTok Redefining what poverty means a bit, but also yes, exploiting fewer Americans but at the cost of exploiting more foreigners. In capitalism, *someone* has to be exploited
English
@Teh_Snowflake @ChudsOfTikTok I don’t know if this statement is true when poverty used to be in the 50–80% in 1900 to a range of 10–15 in modern times. Clearly capitalism kinda had SOME kind of impact, especially when paired off with a certain amount of social programs.

@_plastic_plant_ @massrepublican @_6signxxx If they want to spend EBT on caviar, go for it, but that would probably be almost the full budget, so no one would likely do that

When I go to the store and see them advertising big tubs of chocolate chip cookies as EBT eligible it makes me not care about it getting shut down.

@gorrillavision @massrepublican @_6signxxx All of the nutrients you get from those meats could theoretically be gotten in a healthier way. For example less fat. I would also assume those meats are seasoned so maybe less salt, fewer sugars/carbs. Meat has a lot of nutritional value but like anything, too much is bad
English
@TheFriendlySoc1 @massrepublican @_6signxxx Absolutely stupid take you know nothing about nutrition at all chicken,fish,beef and pork all have lots of nutrients cookies have zero benefits.
