Ol' Crusty

@jeremyct Property tax is the lazy incompetent politicians way of creating more money for the government to spend on useless things that doesn't benefit the people they stole the money from in the first place. Abolish the property tax.

my dad called me today stressed about property taxes. he’s 76, retired, and living on social security. been in the same house since the early 90s. mortgage paid off years ago. now his property taxes jumped from around $6,500 to over $8k. imagine spending your whole life paying off a home… and still being one tax bill away from losing it. that doesn’t sit right with me.

@BreitbartNews No more neo-cons! They are just democrats in red ties.

Mike Pence: "I think Republicans ought to do a lot of soul-searching" before 2028 "I think Republicans face a new time of choosing — whether we're going to stay on the path of the traditional conservative principles that have always defined our party for the last half century, or whether we're going to follow the siren song of populism" "We've always been a party committed to low taxes, including low tariffs and free trade. Now, as we witnessed, the president imposed unilateral tariffs on friend and foe alike until the Supreme Court stepped in and used the Constitution to turn him back." "I know Donald Trump better than his most ardent defenders know him. Okay? And he is not ideological. In fact, he often bristled when I would refer to policies as conservative. He would, with a wave of a hand, say to me, 'That's just common sense.' But now, as you see the stops and starts on our support for Ukraine under this administration, nationalizing American businesses, unilateral tariffs, price controls on everything from pharmaceuticals to credit cards, all of this should should create a backdrop for a very healthy debate over whether we're going to stay moving in the direction, on these issues, that President Trump has led our party, or whether we're going to re-ground ourselves back to those timeless conservative principles, I think, that have always made not only our party successful but, more importantly, have made America strong and prosperous and free."

@StateDept Stop funding that mess. We make up nearly 25% of the UN's budget. If we pull out then that significantly cuts into their ability to push foreign invaders into our country.

Last week, the United States refused to participate in the UN’s review of the Global Compact on Migration. The United States objects to the Global Compact on Migration and UN efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States and our Western allies.

@davethul Might wanna brush up on your history there, bud.

Not a single person in this photo was born in the United States of America.

@supercalifrag33 Idk we just had net negative migration for the first time in almost 90 years. F amnesty and keep stacking net negative migration year over year. I bet the grass is a lot greener on the other side of that fence.

I'm so unbelievably blackpilled. We're not getting our country back. We can't even do recess appointments. Our Secretary of State thinks this country is for "anyone anywhere." Our President is considering amnesty, whatever his people say. It's over. We failed as a civilization. Ben Franklin said, "a republic, if you can keep it." We didn't.

@micah_erfan Micah is extremely upset that those babies couldn't be murdered in the womb.

Incredible how every “pro-life” policy actually leads to a large amount of unnecessary death.

@GavinNewsom No such thing as black districts anymore. That's racial discrimination against non-blacks in that district. Read it and weep ya b!tch

Confederate states are rushing through rigged maps to erase Black districts off the map. If this doesn’t make you angry, it should.

@tparsi The only mistake the US made was that they killed Iran's leaders off too fast and now they don't know who to negotiate with. Iran keeps flip-flopping on everything. Possibly a sign that there is internal divide. If I was the US I would continue hammering strategic targets.

To say that Trump underestimated Iran is an understatement. The Israelis sold him - and he ended up believing - a narrative that portrayed Iran as so weak that the war would be won within 4 days. 60 plus days later, Trump is still stuck in the mess Israel sold him.

@billybinion "15 million" Opinion is automatically discredited from that alone. 😂 Let's keep deporting and benefit from the shift of supply and demand.

Wow. There are an estimated 15 million illegal immigrants in the United States. So for this to be true, each one must own two homes. Very insightful stuff from our vice president.

@TheStatsRobot There's your mistake. You think what Florida did was against their state constitution. It wasn't. However, what Virginia did was. Doesn't matter that they held a vote. Virginia state gov was told before hand that the election result doesn't weigh on the constitutionality.

@UziCryptoo "Just put the fries in the bag, man."

In my area, In-N-Out and Chipotle are hiring around $20/hour for new workers. Let’s say you even land full-time at 40 hours/week: $20/hour = $800/week That’s $3,467/month before taxes. After just 12% in federal taxes, you’re left with about $3,051/month take-home. Now here’s the reality: Average one-bedroom apartment is around $2,000/month. So even working full-time in fast food, 65% of your income disappears to rent alone. That leaves you with about $1,050/month for: • food • transportation • insurance • phone • savings • emergencies This isn’t a “budgeting problem.” This is a cost of living crisis. Working full time should never mean barely surviving.

@okaythenfuture Chill, it's just soccer.

The World Cup starts in 30 days and legit barely anyone cares. In America, probably barely anyone knows the world’s biggest sport competition starts in a month. This has been the worst rollout for the World Cup I have ever seen in my life. It was a mistake to award it to Modern America. It’s no longer a serious society.

@ComicDaveSmith Military defeat? In order for that to happen our military would actually have to be defeated.

On Monday Marco Rubio said that we cannot allow Iran to have control over the strait of Hormuz, picking and choosing who enters and what currency they use. There is a very important reason why the administration feels this way: because it would be the greatest military defeat in US history. We lost in Vietnam and Afghanistan in a sense but never like this. If we leave now with the new status quo being Iran controls the strait then we have transformed a relegated, isolated, sanction crippled nation into a global power. Leaving now is an admission of a tremendous defeat and it’s also the best possible thing to do. This is the trap that Trump is now in all because he listened to Netanyahu and launched the insane war of choice.

@SStricklandMMA Such a short-sighted take

I could be wrong but as of now the Iran war has only hurt Americans. Middle Eastern countries get richer, Russia gets richer Americans get a gas tax and inflation. YOU get poorer THEY get richer Tell me how this is America first?

@TukiFromKL "The CATO Institute.."

the CATO Institute.. a libertarian think tank funded by the Koch brothers.. just published a study showing immigrants paid more in taxes than they received in benefits every single year from 1994 to 2023.. not a left-wing university.. not a Democratic PAC.. the Koch brothers' own research institute.. they reduced the deficit by $14.5 trillion over 30 years.. they earn less per hour but work at higher rates.. which means higher per capita income.. which means higher taxes paid.. the country spent 30 years being told immigrants were draining the system.. turns out they were funding it.. and the people who told you that knew the numbers the whole time

@Jason___YYC Property taxes are for none of those things.... fucking idiot.

Is there a fucking road in front of your house? Does your house have plumbing that leaves your property? Do you want the fire department to show up if it’s on fire? These fucking idiots man

Conservatives are so cooked they think Americans fleeing the country in droves is a W.

The desire to move to the U.S. has dropped to an all-time low, per The Hill.

@TicketsManutd1 @ImGucciBoots @piersmorgan Imagine being dumb enough to believe the US military lost in Vietnam. Smooth brained tardo needs to study the combative side of the war. NV got slayed.

@ImGucciBoots @piersmorgan You had 3 other countries helping you You’ve never won a war in your life Vietnam wiped the floor with you You can’t even beat goat fuckers pipe down dick head and read a book

If President Trump wants to take the Falkland Islands away from Britain, then we must reclaim the United States. Perfect way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence. King Charles can announce it to Congress next week.

@GovPressOffice Florida is about to enter the chat lol
