So they're going to openly defy the Executive Order and Congress? Trump needs to fire every single person preventing this report from being released. It's clear that they are trying to stall until it's too late.

Trump should arrest the Dominion CEO after he invokes the insurrection act.

Honestly, when Lindsey Graham refused to hammer down on Sally Yates/Comey&Crew as well as refuse to call in Joe Biden/Obama/Hunter to testify, it was obvious that the GOP wants Trump out. These swamp rats are traitors.

Yeah, 100% Andrew Yang lied to everyone

I know, I made my post to explain how the Democrats are using the threat of automation to fuck everyone over just like covid/climate change

More clarification: Andrew Yang fucks you over through the UBI counting as additional income. He tells you that it is subjected to only a VAT tax and NEVER brings up the fact that it could push you up to a higher tax bracket, which means that it is effectively taxed. It's a huge contradiction and he is never questioned about it.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with you.

Bernie Sanders/AOC promise the world yet it's a complete government takeover of the private sector.

Andrew Yang promises a UBi that will liberate you yet you're still enslaved by the Federal/State Governments

The argument for UBI is that we need a counter to automation but there are two opposing viewpoints for how we combat it:

Bernie/AOC wants to propose a Federal Jobs Guarantee which is a gateway towards communism. Bernie wants everyone to receive a stable job and a living wage. AOC wants everyone to receive all the benefits you could ever imagine + a FAMILY sustaining wage. Both of their ideas are stupid and would effectively place the private sector under government control.

Andrew Yang wants a UBI, paid for by a VAT tax at half Europe's rate to give everyone $1000 a month. I have a few thoughts about this:

1). He mentioned excluding items from the VAT but without specifications, I'd be reluctant to embrace it.

2). He mentions the VAT tax but he has gone on record stating that his UBI would count as additional income

"So the freedom dividend itself isn't taxed but it may push you so if you're making like $50k then with the freedom dividend you'd be making $62k so the increment on top you might end up getting taxed on but the freedom dividend itself is not taxed"

"He said that while $12,000 per year would not be taxable, it might push one’s income into higher tax bracket."

  • Source 3

  • Twitter thread, showing everyone being confused.

So basically, the problem isn't that you are pushed into a "Higher tax bracket", the problem is that you are getting "pushed" at all. This means that the UBI is subjected to a VAT Tax, Federal Income Tax and State Tax(Depending on where you live). This is a far cry from the $1000 proposal that Yang suggests.

Like, I support some form of a UBI but I wouldn't trust anyone to implement it without fucking everyone over in the process. Feel free to use my sources if you want to debate people about this. I am open minded but I don't like being lied to by politicians.

Added clarification to avoid confusion:

I support the concept of a UBI but the fact that Andrew Yang is blatantly lying about the fact that it counts as additional income should tell everyone what you need to know. He says that it's meant to liberate you from the Federal Government but yet you are forced to hand it back over through a VAT Tax and a Federal Income Tax. On top of those two taxes, you have to pay a State Income Tax(Depending on where you live) when it's added up to your total income.

Most people don't know this so I shared the sources that you guys can use.

I agree with this take in all honesty. Rudy said that he is going to file the same lawsuit and target it in WI, MI, PA and GA. Go through the process and back up to the Supreme Court. If they shoot it down again, then I am 100% on board with them being compromised.

If they rule that those 4 states violated the constitution, there would be hell to pay if the legislatures of those states didn't go for Trump. I could see states saying that they won't vote at all and it goes to the House of Representatives where they vote by state delegation. Trump would have to get stabbed in the back twice to lose this(Assuming SCOTUS defends the constitution.

I'm from New York so I just want to chime in so people understand how screwed we are.

If Andrew Cuomo ever steps down as Governor, we will have a radical replace him. Cynthia Nixon vs Andrew Cuomo was the scariest debate I've ever seen. Until a Republican has a chance of winning the state, we need Cuomo lol

If SCOTUS doesn't rule to hear the case and then side with Texas, they are essentially telling every state that they can freely violate the U.S. constitution.

Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania have 14 minutes left to respond to Texas, right? Nice to see how many states are joining the fight against this unconstitutional bullshit

How long will it take for the Supreme Court to hear this case since it goes directly to them?

Do they have enough legislators on board with this? Is this actually happening? Please God let this be true

You know, I didn't like Ted Cruz during the Republican primaries but he has really grown on me. In these dark times, you will see true champions for the people. Not communist traitors like Gov Kemp and these RINO fucks who committed treason.

sir-coffee 24 points ago +25 / -1

This isn't a surprise but we can't focus on commie Kemp at the moment. The Republican Legislature has a fucking runoff election in a month and needs to call a special session to order a forensic audit immediately. If they do not call a special session, then Trump should invoke the insurrection act.

For anyone who trusts NY elections, Biden is behind Trump by only ~200 fucking votes in Suffolk County after ABC News declared us "Trump Country". Trump won Suffolk County by 50k votes in 2016.

DawnMarie Kuhn, president of the Suffolk County Young Republicans, said she does not see 2020 as a defeat for the Republican Party.

She said Trump's momentum helped elect a number of new local Republicans.

"It was a giant red wave for all of our local candidates," she said. "We elected four Young Republicans to state offices."

Wow, I wonder what happened here to make it so close? /s

sir-coffee 5 points ago +5 / -0

Absolutely, but it's apparent to anyone who has been paying attention that the legislature wanted to investigate fraud before making a decision about appointing electors. This is why Kemp is so full of shit. He knows this and is stirring up the fearmongers.

Governor Kemp is a fucking traitor.

"While we understand four members of the Georgia Senate are requesting the convening of a special session of the General Assembly, doing this in order to select a separate slate of presidential electors is not an option that is allowed under state or federal law.

Nobody said that it was to select a separate slate of electors. They could have used the special session to enact a forensic audit.

"State law is clear:

Who gives a fucking shit? The supremacy clause explicitly states that federal law takes precedence over state law.

Article VI, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution is commonly referred to as the Supremacy Clause. It establishes that the federal constitution, and federal law generally, take precedence over state laws, and even state constitutions.
