Just a highly-educated person wanting to participate in public debate without the neofascists trying to destroy my life for disagreeing with their positions.

@WallStreetApes There are others offering surrogates in the USA. Your baby is born here, and thanks to a misreading of the intent of the citizenship clause, the parents can immediately apply for greenccards.

@jackjaypalmer The latest practice is consulting firms undercutting others, then staffing the project with H1Bs who take 2 years instead of the 1 quoted. Price has doubled, nothing company can do but agree to the extension.

Trump is now reportedly responsible for roughly 27.7% of the entire U.S. national debt accumulated under all presidents combined.
That is an astonishing figure historically.
The national debt just crossed $39 trillion.
President Trump has added roughly $12–13 trillion to the debt across his two terms in office.
That’s approximately 30% of ALL U.S. national debt accumulated since 1789.
In 2016, Trump said he would pay down the national debt “over a period of eight years.”
Instead:
- First term: +$7.8 trillion
- Second term: roughly +$4–5 trillion already
And yes, COVID affected first-term spending.
It does not explain adding another trillion dollars every five months without a pandemic.
A political movement built on:
“fiscal conservatism”
“small government”
“balanced budgets”
has now overseen the largest debt expansion tied to any single presidency in American history.

@DavidJHarrisJr Did they also buy a bunch of slaves to provide local government services to that property forever? If not, they have to pay for such services they & their neighbors voted to have. It's not injustice to have to pay for services you bought.

Ron DeSantis: “[People] have their homes paid off and they bought it 30 years ago for a certain amount. Now they're being told it's worth so much more and they have to pony up more and more money. It's almost like they have to pay rent to the government, just to be able to enjoy their property. That's wrong.”
Thoughts?

@JackPosobiec We will remember him when the next 9-11 happens at the hands of some of the millions of innocent victims whose life he ruined. And when groceries cost more because he drove up the debt.

@pearsonm103 @Trader19731 @RonDeSantis Rubber pollution from tires is worse than the ~50% of air pollution (and MOST air pollution produced near residential areas) emitted by gas burning vehicles? What about brake pads?
English

@ThinkerPhree @Trader19731 @RonDeSantis You literally have no clue what causes the most pollution from vehicles.
It’s the microplastics from the tires that are the worst pollutants.
Heavier EVs cause more pollution via tires than ICE vehicles cause from combustion and tire wear combined for non-commercial vehicles.🤦♂️

@No_Jimbo @JimbobsH @RonDeSantis But would also have to remove sales tax from electricity used to charge EVs.
English

@JimbobsH @ThinkerPhree @RonDeSantis Great point. Remove the gasoline tax and make ALL cars pay the $130 per year.
English

@pearsonm103 @say___e @Trader19731 @RonDeSantis But an F150 gas wouldn't pay the double tax, even if it's heavier than a Tesla3.
English

@say___e @ThinkerPhree @Trader19731 @RonDeSantis The F-150 is about 4k pounds. The F-150 Lightning is about 6k pounds.
That’s a 50% increase in weight dude. 🤷♂️

@NickDecoteau4 @RonDeSantis 150 would be top of the 9% sales tax we are already charged on electricity
English

@ThinkerPhree @RonDeSantis How is $150 a year equaling 9%?
English

@konnichiwazu @JimbobsH @RonDeSantis They did a flat gas tax instead of a sales tax like they charge on every other good, so tax revenues wouldn't fluctuate with gas prices.
English

@vlmarriott @RonDeSantis But you don't pay that tax on your vehicle fuel.
English

@ThinkerPhree @RonDeSantis Because gasoline doesn't light our Homes, Run the appliances, keep our homes warm or cool. Your consuming electricity to look like you care about the environment, and non EV owners Pay that tax to on their homes electric bill.
English

@JimbobsH @RonDeSantis Gas tax is not the sole revenue source for highways
English

@ThinkerPhree @RonDeSantis If everyone drove an EV, there’d be no gas tax money coming in to build and fix roads and bridges.
English

@Trader19731 @RonDeSantis It doesn't spout sulpheric acid all over the roads.
English

@ThinkerPhree @RonDeSantis Its heavier, just like I pay extra rolling big gear for work..Pay up
English

@cleanbreak24 @RonDeSantis No, they don't. The electric company covers that. The tax is collected by the states, which use it for state government functions including roads. Earnarking the gas tax as going to highways is pointless because other tax revenues go into highway maintenance.
English

@ThinkerPhree @RonDeSantis Electricity taxes provide upkeep for electric infrastructure, not transportation infrastructure. Fuel and other taxes do that.

@WSJ @WSJFreeEx @WSJopinion @MattHennessey It’s public record, not a secret, that the Republican Jewish Coalition, AIPAC, and a Miriam Adelson funded superPAC spent tens of millions of dollars against me to buy this Congressional seat in Kentucky.

@RonDeSantis Salea tax is effectively the same thing. And we have plenty of that.
English

@raquellrussell Just have to purge the Epstein Swamp Crew. Going to vote D a lot this November. Worth it to save our country. They can't do anything with a Republican president.
English

@SpicyyNews @RonDeSantis Going to drop to one knee before the state government, which is taking in excess money due to high sales tax, and beg for money for police, fire, libraries,local roads, & stormwater control.
English

@RonDeSantis I’m all for tax relief, but Florida isn’t just going to wake up one day and say ‘nah, we don’t need billions in property tax revenue anymore.’ If this passes, they’re replacing that money from somewhere. The question is where?
