Watching the evening news and Trump is talking about eliminating taxes on tips. I started thinking about this because I waited tables and bartended years and years ago. Seemed real nice until I realized this isn’t a tax break for service staff scraping hard.  

Ask yourself, who just joined the tipping game? 

That’s right, the Supreme Court just decided members of the government (especially them) can now receive a gratuity (used to be called a bribe) after performing some act that benefits the tipper. 

Nope. This definitely isn’t a tax break for peeps like me getting a buck a beer. This is for Clarence and other shameless “officials for sale” protecting their newly legal revenue streams. 

Pure. Fucking. Greed.

Sorry if it’s been analyzed elsewhere in this forum, but is it better or worse for Harris if RFKJr is not on the ballot? Seems to me it would be worse, because he’s crazy as fuck, and his voters would end up voting for the other crazy as fuck candidate instead of Harris. Maybe I’m being too simplistic.

Man, I wouldn't get your hopes up on this one. Elon is a moron, but he understands the score. He's going to ask the most softball of questions and fellate Trump's prior term and bravery/patriotism/penis size surviving assassination at every turn. Trump, in turn, still champion the importance of free speech that can only be found on Twitter and Truth. Nothing is ever scripted with Trump, but my guess is this will be about as close as it gets.

Yes, I think he sucks votes away from Dotard at a much higher clip than Harris.

Consensus is, while RFK voters are crazier than most crazies, the craziest are pissed they are crazier than turnip, so will sit out the election.

If Texas had a Democrat party, they could be fighting hard for the districts on the southern border. Either to flip them blue and prevent the opposite. Crazy to me that Brownsville has consistently voted republican as of late. It wouldn't shock me if the Republicans took another border district this year with immigration fears and lies about Harris shutting off all the oil wells.

A few points:

  1. It's the Democratic Party. Two extra letters and one extra syllable are not that hard.
  2. I think you're confusing your border towns/counties. Brownsville has not consistently voted Republican as of late:
    • 2004 was the last time Cameron County voted for a Republican presidential candidate.
    • Their US Representative is a Democrat.
    • Their State Senator is a Democrat.
    • They have three reps in the State House. Only one of them is a Republican.
    • In 2022, Cameron County voted for Beto in the gubernatorial election.

O&G-producing Zapata County, with its 14,000 residents, is the only county in the Valley that voted for the GOP in the last presidential and gubernatorial elections. Yes, 2020 wasn't overwhelmingly Democratic down there, but the party still seems like it's the preferred flavor.

We'll just have to see if they swing further to the right this fall or revert to the norm. There's no need to make stuff up to trash the TDP since the organization already does a fine job of it alone.

If RFK is not a citizen of New York, how'd he get that bear roadkill permit?  Asking for another friend.

I can't believe I have to explain something so simple... but here you go.

The bear in question was a cub... IE baby bear.  New York is a liberal state, which means abortion after birth is legal, ergo no permit was required.

lulz. look at this fucking shit

https://musktrump.io/ 

Crypto scam for the masses I guess.

The carnage could be ugly, but you would have to be a Trump level dumb to think you could double your crypto. Thats why the damage could be epic, lulz. Trumptards all over the country waiting for their accounts to get doubled.

My mom is a Democrat anti vaxer that hates Turnip. She is batshit crazy about anti vax among other shit (think Saul's brother from the TV show) and absolutely the most liberal person you have ever met. Goes to Vietnam to help on a medical mission (as a nurse). Then uses her law degree to aid children who have suffered abuse and protect them. Staunch women's rights and LGBTQ+ supporter.  Then decides rfk is her man.

 

A true riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma of full on crazy. I cannot understand how she supports that POS considering his real track record. Brainwashing is real.

Narcissists don’t weigh benefits vs cost like that. This could turn into an all time shitfest if we’re lucky

I was curious to see if they’d have a bunch of spam join now banner links on everything and was surprised to not see any. I went to Elon’s page to find the link and well, maybe they should have kept some engineers around….

Just FYI, Twitter did a Spaces with DeSantis many months back that crashed and they couldn't figure it out for like 15-20 minutes. Not terribly surprising they're having issues with 100x more people wanting to listen tonight. 

The technical issue is Elon fucking sucks.

I think this is a scam link

that would be  a fantastic scam though to get everyone to give up their crypto wallets addresses. Send me your crypto, you'll get 2X back.
