@MariaOlsenNate @DanielleKaivqy They aren't going tantwhere in Idaho. We're a solid 60/40 Red state.

@DanielleKaivqy You may not claim them, but they are going to claim Idaho. You better wake up to what’s happening in our state.

Crazy amount of people at the No Kings rally at the Idaho Capitol. They are crazy…but don’t discount this movement. It is funded, organized, and motivated. Democrats are challenging dozens of legislative seats. Which way Idaho?

@WagieCapital @fuckyouiquit Nah - Raise the tax to 20% on the Zoomers.

@fuckyouiquit Nah - cut the benefits for boomers first

Every dollar earned below $184,500 a year has a Social Security tax of 12.4%. Everything after that cap is exempt. If we lift this cap on the wealthiest earners, Social Security would be fully funded till 2070. The cap should not exist.

@FewSecrets @originalmarkz @tommysantos14 How is this relevant to "election day"?

@originalmarkz @tommysantos14 When Election Day was stipulated in the Constitution, the voting population was a subset of a subset of people, and the overall population was a hundredth what it is now.

I have to keep pointing this out. Are these people not American, or just completely fucking stupid? They think it's a good idea to invalidate lawfully cast votes that simply aren't counted by 11:59pm on election day. This is "short bus" level stupid.

@JoshRoyIdaho Mr. Roy, you've got my attention with these statements. I'm leaning your way.

@TheRealChrisCCI @mattvanswol @StevieJai Certainly what it feels like.

@mattvanswol @StevieJai

🚨#BREAKING: North Carolina Senator, Thom Tillis COMPLETELY MISSED THE VOTE on the motion to move forward the SAVE Act. He didn’t show up. Absolutely unbelievable.

@simplecentsco 24?!? He's killing it!

How is my 24 year old brother doing? 401k: $11,372.53 Roth IRA: $25,161.55 529: $2,335.34 Brokerage: $3,793.48 Checking: around $500 HYSA: $4,320.87 Total: $47,438.77 I think he is doing pretty alright...

@r0ktech the Mod operator.

what's a better way of doing this?

@terraformicmind @WallStreetApes Fortunately Meridian, Star the outer counties are overriding any leverage Boise has regarding Democrat voting blocks. I'm not concerned; most newcomers are conservative.

@WallStreetApes Yeah and they are going to screw up this state. We already have Boise, we don’t need more.

California is no longer the number 1 state for new people moving into Idaho The number 1 state that people are fleeing from and moving to Idaho is now Washington State California is second Americans are fleeing Democrat states

@TimRunsHisMouth @SenFettermanPA @Nick_Brent Absentee, like it used to be.

@SenFettermanPA @Nick_Brent How does one show their ID when voting by mail?

83% of Americans agree on voter ID. 71% of Democrats agree on voter ID. Keep it basic: PHOTO ID to vote. Stop turning this into a Christmas list and attacking vote-by-mail. If GOP wants real reform over a show vote––put out a clean, standalone bill and I’m AYE.

@AmericanMama @RealJamesWoods Rather than a new party, we need to drastically reform the GOP. Doing otherwise only benefits the Democrats and renders conservatives to the sidelines.

@RealJamesWoods We need a new party.

Which is why I am done.

@grey4626 Spot on Grey. Libertarianism in a perfect world has sway with the idea of limited government and individual freedom. However, to fall oneself upon the moral sword of principle is to achieve a pyrrhic victory where one can claim purity whilst their enemies conquer the ground.

You fucking pathetic, self-anointed libertarian cunts... your narcissistic, circle-jerking delusions of grandeur wrapped in edgelord cosplay and purity-test bullshit did not help us win a goddamn thing in 2024. Not one single vote. Not one precinct flipped. Not one normie dragged out of the blue-pill coma you helped keep them in for decades with your smug “both sides” masturbation and your autistic screeching about muh NAP while real Americans were bleeding out in the streets from open borders, fentanyl, and the deep-state knife in our collective back. You sat on your high horses of ideological masturbation, jerking off to Ron Paul memes and Rothbard quotes like the irrelevant little incel philosophers you are, while Trump and the MAGA machine did the actual heavy lifting...the rallies, the memes, the door-knocking, the psychological warfare that shattered the regime’s narrative stranglehold and dragged this country back from the abyss by its bloody fingernails. And now? Now you slither out of your Reddit holes with your little list of “betrayals,” crowing like you ever mattered, like your precious little third-party tantrums and “libertarian moment” wet dreams actually moved the needle instead of just jerking each other off in the comments section while the grown-ups fought the war. This is classic narcissistic injury, you gutless fucking midwits. Your entire identity is built on being the smartest guy in the room who’s too pure to get his hands dirty...so when the dirty hands actually win, when the visceral, primal, balls-to-the-wall coalition of real fighters drags the Republic across the finish line, you have to rewrite history to insert yourselves as the secret heroes. Because admitting you were spectators...worse, obstacles...would collapse that fragile ego fortress you’ve built on Austrian economics fanfic and “government bad” bumper-sticker philosophy. You didn’t help. You hindered. You sneered. You purity-spiraled. You clutched your pearls about “deficits” and “wars” while the left was raping the Constitution in broad daylight and importing replacement voters by the millions. You offered nothing but cope and snark, then have the audacity to lecture the victors like you earned a seat at the table. Newsflash, you hollow, venom-dripping parasites: the table was built by men and women who understand power, not your 19th-century LARP. The 2024 landslide happened in spite of your irrelevant asses, not because of them. Trump didn’t need your intellectual permission slip... He needed warriors. He got them. You? You were the background noise...the soy-latte sipping critics who fold at the first sign of actual stakes. So choke on your delusions, you grandiose, self-important little bitches. Crawl back to your think-tanks and your Substack echo chambers and keep pretending your hot takes “influenced” anything beyond your own sad little circle. The realignment is happening. And you? You’re the footnote nobody reads...the cautionary tale of what happens when ideology becomes a personality disorder and “principles” become a cope for cowardice. We won. You watched. Stay mad. Stay irrelevant. Stay the fuck out of our way. 💀🗡️🖤

@r0ktech Personally, vs2026.

What's your favorite IDE of all time? - VS Code - Sublime - IntelliJ - Vim - Cursor - Antigravity

@leftsidehist @TMZ Now comes the part whether it's "justifiable".

@TMZ So all those who defended this will be coming to admit they were wrong any minute now…

Alex Pretti's shooting death officially ruled a homicide. Details: tmz.me/G96QqLo

@r0ktech Ahh, style differences are about as religious as it gets. I have used both over the course of my career. I settled on the latter as it was what the team preferred--haven't switched since then.

as a developer which one do you prefer ?

@soychotic Now let's go old C: if (a) { return b; } else { return c; }

Just add the fucking bracket s .i don’t care if it’s a single statement after the if just add the fucking brackets

@tszzl It was, and still is an art of craftsmanship for me.

not to be insensitive to the elect few who genuinely saw it as their art form. i feel for you

programming always sucked. it was a requisite pain for ~everyone who wanted to manipulate computers into doing useful things and im glad it’s over. it’s amazing how quickly I’ve moved on and don’t miss even slightly. im resentful that computers didn’t always work this way

@Patel_Arvind @BigBrainBizness Kudos to them for keeping what was theirs.

This isn’t a smart strategy at all. It is textbook tax evasion, and it ultimately harms the country’s economy. When wealthy individuals glorify such tactics and avoid paying their fair share, the burden shifts to everyone else. It is also why leaders like Trump end up launching trade wars to plug the economic gaps created by these so-called “clever” loopholes. There is nothing genius about avoiding responsibility. It only weakens the very system that enabled such wealth in the first place.

Steve Jobs' death was supposed to be the government's biggest estate tax collection. Instead, it made his wife a billionaire overnight. Here's how Jobs planned for this satisfying outcome years before he passed: When Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011, his net worth stood at $7 billion. The U.S. government was ready to collect billions in estate taxes. Under 2011 estate tax rules, only $5 million was exempt, and everything above that got taxed at 35%. The expected tax payment? $2.45 billion (that's more than many countries' entire budgets!) But Jobs had been planning for years ↓ Back in March 2009, over two years before his death, Jobs and his wife Laurene quietly transferred three California properties into two separate trusts. Then his attorneys moved the biggest assets: • 38.5 million Apple shares • 138 million Disney shares from the 2006 Pixar sale • Three California properties including his Palo Alto residence and the Woodside mansion he purchased in 1984 for $3.5 million All funneled into the Steven P. Jobs Trust. The strategy was elegant in its simplicity... Jobs exploited the unlimited marital deduction, a cornerstone of U.S. tax law that allows unlimited asset transfers to a surviving spouse without immediate estate tax. The only requirement? The spouse must be a U.S. citizen. Laurene qualified perfectly. When Jobs died, his simple "pourover" will directed all remaining assets into the private trust. No public probate. No court battles. No tax bill. The IRS collected exactly $0. Overnight, Laurene transformed from a successful venture capitalist into one of the world's wealthiest women, controlling over $10 billion in assets. But here's where it gets even smarter ↓ Because the assets passed through the trust at death, they received a "stepped-up basis" to fair market value. This means all the capital gains Apple stock accumulated over decades were erased for tax purposes. Laurene didn't stop there. After 2011, she deployed Grantor Retained Annuity Trusts (GRATs) to transfer roughly $500 million tax-free to their children, dodging another $200 million in gift and estate taxes. By 2025, her net worth hovers around $11.9 billion. The government's anticipated $2.45 billion windfall? Still $0. Jobs built revolutionary products throughout his career, and his estate plan was no different. Turns out, the best financial strategy is often about keeping what's already yours. — Thanks for reading! Enjoyed this post? Follow @BigBrainBizness for more content like this.

@AMurphy83428 @HorrorGorl She was correct.

@HorrorGorl Ayn Rand tried to attack the idea that Robin Hood was a good guy. She wrote that a man who stole from the "productive" rich and gave to the "unproductive" poor. Who did she think grew the crops? Tended the livestock? Built the castles? The rich? What an idiot!

@MbarkCherguia No. He's onloading protein somewhere.

This brother eats ONLY fruit — no meat, no dairy, no processed food — and stays shredded AF! 😳💪 How is he doing this without 'recommended' protein? Thoughts?

@SinCitySnark @handleitgrips To god's ear...

@handleitgrips And this is why, when teaching someone to shoot a big bore handgun, you only load it with ONE round.

Way too much power for him to handle
