@the_jefferymead @SenWarren And if those three Pennie’s that get extracted, two of them will just go to the salaries of newly hired government employees that are meant to administer these new programs, fraud, waste, and abuse… none of the problems she claimed will be fixed will even improve.

@SenWarren The top 1% pay about 40% of all federal income taxes. I’m so tired of you people always trying to forcibly take peoples hard earned wealth from them. A wealth tax is a stupid idea.

Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me. It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.

@the_jefferymead @SenWarren Notice how her proposal starts higher than her net worth, which is tens of millions? She’s very wealthy, but still likes to demonize those nasty people who are wealthier than her… it is the gospel of envy.

@megynkelly Good. Half-measures don’t work.

That’s 10,000 in addition to the 5,000 he’s already dispatched.

@sciencegirl Wonder if he survived…

@megynkelly @Cernovich Is this Megyn admitting she’s now irrelevant?

@Cernovich Prediction: as approval for this war continues to nosedive, the once relevant but now newly irrelevant podcasters will be blamed entirely for the loss in support … & will be called antisemitic traitors to boot

Why did Trump beg to go on Joe Rogan in 2024 if "podcasts don't matter"?

I understand that’s how it works now, but that wasn’t how it was designed. Guess who screwed it up? Politicians. That said - it is a defined benefit plan, with caps. Why should I have to pay beyond my cap and fund someone else’s retirement? Better yet, let me opt out completely so I can invest it in something that will give a much higher rate of return. So, no. I don’t think the solution is to take more of my income than they already do.

@SlippySlipnuts @conorjrogers But you're not getting the money you put in, retired people get that. When you retire, your retirement is paid by active workers. It works as long as the demographics are right, but birth rights are down and we can't keep the pyramid scheme going. So what's the solution?

One of the most radicalizing moments of my life was when I learned that they just stop collecting social security taxes on money earned over like $150K. Like you just suddenly keep 3-6% more money on all money over that threshold.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha *breath* Hahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahah

@the_jefferymead More specifically- they are lying when they say their main concern is that citizens won’t be able to figure out how to comply with an ID requirement.

Humans operate off of incentive structures. Democrats fighting the SAVE America Act so hard is a sign. They do not think it will benefit their party.

More Americans have been killed in Chicago in the past four weeks than the number of Americans killed fighting Iran.

If true this would be a huge win for feminism. Women are grossly underrepresented in the dictatorship and authoritarianism fields.

None of them have an answer for why Hamas refuses to identify themselves with uniforms- a war crime. Why is it a war crime? Bc it purposefully obscures civilians vs. combatants.

Milton Friedman 🗣️ “Inflation is just like alcoholism. In both cases when you start drinking or when you start printing too much money, the good effects come first. The bad effects only come later.” “That’s why in both cases there is a strong temptation to overdo it: to drink too much and to print too much money.” “When it comes to the cure, it’s the other way around. When you stop drinking or when you stop printing money, the bad effects come first and the good effects only come later.” “That’s why it’s so hard to persist with the cure.”

@Oceanbreeze473 I hope she does. She’ll get humiliated.

BREAKING: Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, is reportedly "strongly considering" LEAVING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY and running for President as an independent in the 2028 election.

Not only is this incredibly dishonest—benefits are capped, too, so this makes sense—it flies directly in the face of the other dishonest claim the exact same people make, which is that “it’s not a tax, it’s a savings program.”

@adamcarolla Most overrated musician of his generation

I always knew he was a douche

Some ppl have been bamboozled by Joe Kent's "just asking questions" routine, and have failed to detect his bizarre insinuation that Israel may have tried to kill Trump (a truly crazy idea to entertain IMO). Yes, Kent did insinuate that Israel might have been behind the Butler attempt on Trump's life. But you need to listen to Tucker's question in order to see the insinuation. The timestamped link is in the tweet below. Tucker asked, in essence: Since it's clear that Israel pushed Trump into this war, what kind of pressure do you think they applied? Kent answered, in essence: There are two possibilities [of pressure Israel could have applied]. First, it could be the lobbyists in his ear. Or second, it could be much darker. We still don't know what happened at Butler, we don't know what happened to Charlie Kirk, but we know Trump feels like his life is threatened. In the context of Tucker's question, that is a clear insinuation that Israel might have been behind both Butler and Charlie Kirk. How else can you read it? The hedging he does immediately afterwards––"by no means am I saying Israel did this or that"––doesn't undo the insinuation. It just clarifies that it is an insinuation, rather than a confident statement of Kent's beliefs. Either way, it shows that Kent is in La La Land.
