@itsmichaelnorth @commie_trucker Last year was the first time IN MY LIFE that I capped over $100k. Guess how much of that went into my bank account throughout the year? A little under $64k. Over $36k went to taxes, insurances, and my 401k.

@itsmichaelnorth @commie_trucker When are you going to get it through your head that just cause someone starts out at a rate ($55k/yr), that doesn't mean that's what goes into their bank accounts to pay bills? $55k/yr, depending on taxes, deductions, and how you file your W4, equates to at best MAYBE $40k/yr.

I’ve worked 50-60 hours a week for the last 20 years in order to support my family, while my employers have gotten rich off my labor. Yet I’m lazy and entitled and my bosses are entrepreneurial and hardworking.

@itsmichaelnorth @commie_trucker Again, you're talking GROSS pay. BEFORE taxes and deductions. Yes, I understand that 60k is double 30k. I make triple what you make. But guess what? You have the same opportunity as I do to make what I make. Yes, it'll take time to get there. Took me over 10 yrs of this life.

@kmase78 @commie_trucker Average means typical, meaning thats what MOST truck drivers make. And i can very easily provide proof that every company in america that hires truckers. You do know the average american only makes around $30k a year? You make more than double what i make. Stop complaining

@itsmichaelnorth @commie_trucker No it doesn't make you on the top 1% of the world. What are you smoking with saying that? Top 1% is at bare minimum 500k+. 60k is barely somewhere MAYBE in the top 30%. I should know. I've been there.

@kmase78 @commie_trucker You know that if you make over $60k a year, that officially makes you in the top 1% of the entire world? You are literally wealthier than 99% of the entire world, bitching and complaining on the internet, while most people would ACTUALLY kill for your job

@itsmichaelnorth @commie_trucker Um, first, the $65k a year is GROSS pay. Ya know, BEFORE taxes and deductions (health, dental, vision, life insurances). Then, there's bills. Not EVERY trucker is an OTR driver and lives in their truck.

@commie_trucker If youve worked 60 hours a week for 20 years as a trucker, and you dont have a dat stack of cash in your savings, thats your fault. Average semi truck driver in america makes $65k a year. Over 20 years, thats $1,300,000. Youve apparently spent 1.3 million dollars

@LoveLik67051541 @Johnwhitelaw7 @IRanMediaco And, not abs*

@LoveLik67051541 @Johnwhitelaw7 @IRanMediaco So, you like abs support the idea of a regime killing 10s of thousands of their own citizens and have a nuclear weapon for which they WILL use against the US and not care about M. A. D. (Mutually Assured Destruction)

BREAKING: Donald Trump is on the verge of becoming the most foolish president who drove the highest oil prices ever

@HarryLimesLemon @cg_maher @realmelanieking Soooo, Trump didn't condemn neo-Nazis and white nationalists in the infamous "there were fine ppl on both sides" hoax? Might wave go back and listen to the ENTIRE speech.

@cg_maher @realmelanieking Trump doesn't condemn others though. He Praises them for this kind of action. He calls them strong

So you’re telling me another NASA scientist is dead AND his entire family died in a plane crash. They aren’t even trying to hide it. They are being taken out for what they know or was going to leak.

@MomHasHadIt @EQuinones6310 @PopBase Unless you REALLY know history, my guess is MOST ppl haven't heard of him, lol

@kmase78 @EQuinones6310 @PopBase That is totally fine. I just had never heard of this EG, so I went and looked it up. There's always the chance to learn something new!

Donald Trump warns Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting amendment tomorrow, he will lose power: “If the Democrats get additional House seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”

@MomHasHadIt @EQuinones6310 @PopBase Well, when I looked into when gerrymandering started and who started it. It listed EG as only a Democrat, not a Democratic-Republican. So, that's what I went by.

@kmase78 @EQuinones6310 @PopBase You piqued my curiosity. EG was a member of the Democratic‑Republican Party (often just called “Republican” at the time), not a modern‑day Democrat or Republican. In the late 1790s and early 1800s, American politics was dominated by the Federalists and the Democratic‑Republicans.

@MomHasHadIt @EQuinones6310 @PopBase Any time. You as well

@kmase78 @EQuinones6310 @PopBase So interesting to see/learn how things unfolded. And thank you for a meaningful, polite, and interesting discussion.

@MomHasHadIt @EQuinones6310 @PopBase Well, you can blame Elbridge Gerry, a former Democrat Massachusetts governor who is credited with its origin in 1812, for starting it.

@kmase78 @EQuinones6310 @PopBase So you see what they are doing. The D's claim the R's are stealing seats because they put the wheels in motion to increase their already strong majority at not the normal redistricting time. So, again: goose, gander. Or ban gerrymandering altogether, but the R's won't hear of it.

@MomHasHadIt @EQuinones6310 @PopBase Sorry, I read it wrong. Republicans have 25 of 38 districts in Texas. So it's a 25-13 split (which is already a strong majority). So, the redistricting will take it to 30-8 split. So, I see your point. But Rs aren't claiming Ds are "stealing seats" and doing it themselves

@MomHasHadIt @EQuinones6310 @PopBase I just read up on the redistricting in Texas. The way they're doing it WON'T give Republicans a SUPER MAJORITY. In fact, they'll still be 3 seats behind democrats. As of RN it's a 25-38 (R-D respectively) spilt. The redistricting will only bring it to 30-33 (R-D respectively).

@MomHasHadIt @EQuinones6310 @PopBase First, it's not okay for either side. Any sane person knows and believes this. However, this measure ONLY affects VA. And the Democrats are planning to purposely give them a super majority in districts of VA so they can't lose.

@kmase78 @EQuinones6310 @PopBase I honestly do not see why it is ok for the goose but not for the gander. Plus, for instance, in VA they're voting today. The measure, if approved, only takes effect if red states redistrict. If not, they leave things alone.

@EQuinones6310 @MomHasHadIt @PopBase Ok

@kmase78 @MomHasHadIt @PopBase Im agreeing with you bud!

@EQuinones6310 @MomHasHadIt @PopBase Yeah, ik. I wasn't replying to you.

@kmase78 @MomHasHadIt @PopBase That’s exactly my point!

@MomHasHadIt @EQuinones6310 @PopBase It's one thing to say "Republicans gerrymander districts to "steal seats"", but then to turn around and do it for the Dems in a VERY unfair way to LITERALLY steal seats is not only another thing, but VERY hypocritical.

@EQuinones6310 @PopBase So wait, the R's can go out of their way to gerrymander like crazy to benefit themselves, but the minute the D's try to enact a measure to counteract those efforts and level the playing field, you all lose it. Gerrymandering should be done away with completely. In the meantime...

@SEOWill1 @tonjawalker2023 @PopBase An adjudication after a civil suit DOES NOT equal a criminal conviction

@tonjawalker2023 @PopBase U elected a convicted felon and adjudicated sex predator...thoroughly unprincipled ppl, everyone of you who talk abt crime while supporting a criminal

@LA2Arm @flanomad @_InfoGram_ So, other countries are allowed to tariff US goods but we're not allowed to tariff theirs? Is that what you're saying? You also do realize that @ one time, the federal government was ran solely off of tariffs, right?

@flanomad @_InfoGram_ You sound stupid. What alliance? We put tariffs on everyone and made enemies. Watch international news instead of FOX you brain washed moron. Your trump fanatics are zombies. US is slowly loosing its allies. If your smart enough to understand than im sorry for you

BREAKING 🚨: 🇺🇸 Donald Trump is on the verge of becoming the most stupid President in American history.
