Well. That thread with juice got weird.
So, the problem isn't that this is 'stimulus' trying to recover from a recession .. it's "emergency relief" for a "pandemic". The "people who need it most" are precisely the ones who had their business closed, and now can't make a living. An income tax deduction is an exact "let them eat cake" moment.
Yes - for people who are working, an income tax deduction/forgiveness would be awesome. Though...you'd have to pay real close attention to your tax bracket, effective tax rate, etc. If you're going to have an effective tax rate of 10%, and you want to beat $2,000 free money .. you need a $20k taxable income deduction. Lol.
The proper solution is to stop fucking around and open businesses back up. That would solve this. Instead, if government is going to close businesses at gunpoint .. that is a reasonably compelling reason that they need to give you money.
Unfortunately, that's a joke. Imagine spending something like 800 billion, to give yourself 200 billion. That's effectively the covid relief bill, or whatever the hell it is.
-Not an expert, so everyone should do their own google.
But: it's "am I being detained, or am I free to go?" -- if there's probable cause to stop you (someone saw XXX description, around the corner .. and you match), then they can detain you for questions, don't have to make an arrest.
-The cops are not your friend. They are not going to be chatting you up to grab beers. Stop incriminating yourself. Stop making statements to be used against you in court. And if a cop keeps asking the same question .. particularly with "different phrasing" they are really trying to find an inconsistency to peg you.
Disagree ... "it's a show of gesture that we're not an occupied state by a foreign state."
I really don't see how that adds up -- so, a foreign nation is prepared to use force of arms ... but now they won't because 'the rules'?
No - an armed society is a polite society. Ban guns in the capital and look at the shit show it's wrought us.
If a 'foreign state' wants to bring guns to our capital. Let them. Let's get rid of the ambiguity. Because we can settle that real quick.
Yeahh - he's had some good videos that set a baseline of "Hold on, this is one of the most important positions in the world, that has had questionable safeguards, that were also extremely removed, and you've been calling the current guy a global catastrophe trying to become dictator. And you expect someone to believe there was no cheating?"
It seems like more recently it's just been "Fraud obviously happened, but here's 3 debunkings and 0 significant reportings" ... kinda odd that he's tapering down, as lawsuits and deadlines are heating up.
-Also, fuck his take on masks. "Do they work or not work? I think there's a good probability they do, in some capacity". I DON'T GIVE A FUCK if they work. The government isn't my fucking doctor. It isn't mandating shit to me, for medical advice. Fuck them. Fuck the plandemic that would have disappeared if people didn't have daily reminders of face diapers. And his "idea that it's only temporary". Yeah, fuck that. Just like how the Supreme Court Jacobson decision was just one decision .. didn't lead to internment of Americans at all. Nope.
In any case, with all that heat out of the way, I've continued to watch his YouTube videos. It's a nice alternative source of news that isn't complete garbage. Buttt, yeah - never forget he doesn't consider himself a conservative. Pretty certain he's called himself exactly "a hardcore leftist who understands the government programs make things worse" .. yet, somehow he's still on the mask BS, though. Yep.
Uhh, short answer: it's for convenience, not security.

Kind of drowning in headlines, but also pretty sure this is true:
--And of only select cities, in those swing states ... they didn't always have overwhelming turnout/go for Biden insanely. That ONLY happened on election night. After they were withholding their results. Until they knew what they needed.
Seems legit.
Well, that's an arbitrary declaration. Trump has at least until Dec 13, the same standard as Al Gore, before anything. In my mind.
-And do I stop at December 13? Hell no most likely. Fight tooth and nail, to get a Georgia 'audit', and now we've got 1 person auditing votes for 10 tables. Bullshit.
-There is no concession until the fraud has been properly investigated, and votes verified. Which despite Trump's efforts, will appear to be roadblocked forever. I guess they think they can slow roll until 2024, and wait for another election to be complained about.
--Actually audit the vote. Or hold a new election, with actual poll watchers. We'll win. Or: Keep slow rolling, the State delegations will put in the right President.
-After seeing more similar comments, just to clarify: --It wasn't sold as a "Trump lost this election", it was a "we'll find out he won .. but, there won't be anything to do about it" and: "imagine, the illegitimate Biden hammered for four years .. and Trump, raging back into office in 2024". It was a funny thought experiment, but if this is getting anything more than a one minute laugh, once, then I've got a big problem.
--Between the rampant fraud which should be exposed & properly elect Trump: --We have the cards. The election, aside from record Trump turnout, is a joke. There's no way to certify this BS. And, oddly enough, we can 100%, Constitutionally, bring State delegations and get the re-election.
Not gonna lie: I did not realize how toxic this was, until this meme (but also only heard the narrative 3x thus far).
-"Trump Lost. Accept it. But here's hope: he can still win, in 2024, after 4 years of our corrupt government AND the complete and total incentive to rig elections as much as we want, because it works."
Fuck that. Trump won. Why don't you explain why the fuck you were counting ballots at 4AM?
Her lie on taxes was unbelievable. "Joe Biden won't raise taxes on anyone making less than 400k" ... Pence call-out: "He said he's going to repeal the Trump tax cuts. That gave working-class Americans $4,000".
-Obviously: Joe Biden is going to repeal the tax cut. Obviously: That raises taxes for working class Americans, by that $4,000.
-I can't wait for the media spin. "It's not raising taxes!! It's just repealing a cut!!" Unbelievable. No. It's making working-class Americans pay the government an additional 4k. But that's ok, I get the Democrat message: Your money belongs to them. That's not your money that you earned, that you're entitled to. They're the ones entitled to that money.
Just going to comment a pet-peeve ... FIFTY POINTS?!?! ...Out of what, exactly? 100? No! Three thousand four hundred ten, OBVIOUSLY!!!
Seriously - who is memorizing the DOW, DJIA, and SP500 numbers? Just use percentages. 1.4%. That's it.
Everybody hold it right there. All these years, of leftists: "Haha!! Did you even look at Melania? She thinks Trump is an idiot. She can't stand him." and: "Dude, the Stormy Daniels affair. You think Melania cares about Trump at all? She's just there because he's a billionaire."
Gee. How the tables have turned. Now Melania is "a total Trumpette". Get fucked.
No sympathy. Maybe come back when we aren't fighting against a horde of socialists and a plandemic that's far more concerned with fundamentally altering human rights, rather than securing public health.
I'd be far more inclined to give half a turd if the masks were about health. No; they're about control and fear. And I have no time or sympathy for idiots.
Are people burning down their business? No.
"We're enforcing laws on the books" - if ICE isn't able to properly handle this, then that's a whole other can of bullshit we can go 'round and 'round on.
The only excuse I see in Texas' favor? After a fucking year of "two week" lockdown BS, they finally ended a government mask mandate. " "They won" " - whatever the hell that means. --So, it's probably better politically to not necessarily inflict 'righteous retribution' ... plenty of times the outcome ends up less righteous.
But if this is in or on the border of blue texas? Fuck them. Get the fucking socialists the fuck out.
