Keep it up, GOP. Have the GOP exec defy SCOTUS orders. Create the constitutional crisis.

Meanwhile, the rest of us need to be dusting off the drawings for making guillotines.

That’s the problem with completely discarding the rule of law. You’re left with the rule of the gun/blade. The mistake is when you think you own the only ones.

The person who claims that AOC didn't tour the facility when there are pictures of her touring the facility want to claim she's a liar.  Hey dumb fuck, she's not a liar; you're just a gullible idiot who falls for easily refuted lies coming from right wing fake news websites.

When there's abuse in the system, who do you believe: the abused or the abusers? 

Wait, we know the GOP will always fall on the side of the abuser.  Because the abused deserved it or is unreliable.

So let's say they do this.  Census gets sent out WITH the question.  What happens?  Census would have to be delayed, no?  What are the consequences of defying a SCOTUS order?

Injunction.

 

Enforced by law enforcement, who would seize questionnaires. And if they defy the order, then they could be held in contempt. And jailed, by other law enforcement. If you want to see how the Republic falls apart, have cop against cop enforcing/defying court orders. That’s how the first shots - literally - get fired.

So more of follow the rules cause you are supposed to, but shit, we can't really do anything if you don't?

I fully expect this to happen if Trump ever actually has his way.  Instead I think we probably have another example of subordinates openly disregarding Trump's orders.  There's no way Trump released the forms to the printers without the question on them.  Someone else made that decision without him.

Every one of these conflicts is Trump dipping his toes into the warm pool of authoritarianism. Declaring an emergency at the border, reappropriating funds, etc. By next year, he'll be on to even bigger things.

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

We’re already at full blown authoritarianism. 

The concentration camps and tanks out front...

Not to mention all the other crimes with no accountability.

In the interest in full disclosure did you pay any federal tax and is so how much?  I’m not interested in your income I’m just curious how many people know how few actually pay in.

Still waiting on someone to post an actual credible new source but that’s probably not gonna happen (snopes isn’t credible and they haven’t been for a while).  Instead we have folks championing a Twitter sjw without actually fact checking shit...   

 

my question still stands; do you pay federal taxes or should the rest of us pay your tab?  

In full disclosure; I pay mine and am happy to do so as long as it’s going to fruitful causes that aren’t purely virtue signaling for votes.

I pay Federal taxes.

 

The poor should not pay Federal taxes.

 

Because “spite” is not a good reason to tax someone who is already down.

7/8/19. Trump:  I hearby declare a National Emergency with the 2020 Census.  This emergency demands that I add the citizen question with non-answer punishable by death.  Furthermore this Nation Emergency demands that only non-hispanic whites be counted for the census. 

SCOTUS-  We must only call balls and strikes and this one is right up the constitutional middle!

Republicans keep doubling down on Trumpism.  Just fraudulent outrage and malicious lying.  

It’s like a gun is to their head to pander to Trump’s base.

He got bitch slapped claiming Tucker wasn’t racist, then when presented with quotes of Tucker being racist, which are not hard to find, he ran away like a bitch.

Ah ok thanks.  Missed that but typical he cries fake news and claims there are no credible sources.

What's with your bizarre tax question? I'm willing to bet almost all of the board pays taxes. I pay federal taxes, and living in California, I pay a shit ton of state taxes. So no, I help pick the tab up for the red states. This will probably blow your mind, but I'd be happy to pay more taxes for the right shit, like reversing the damage we have done to the environment.

he's about to trot out the misleading "44% of people don't pay federal income tax" line as a proxy for federal taxes, the implication being that people who don't pay income tax shouldn't have as much of a say.  that playbook goes back as far as i can remember, but really ramped up after bush increased the EITC, which brought a lot of peoples' federal income tax payments to $0 (or lower).  of course, you still have to file to use that.

ORLY?

More analysis, with tables illustrating the balance of payments, including Kentucky's at about $40B, or $9100 for every man, woman and child in the state. that's not surprising because Red States are generally more dependent than blue states.

Yes, I pay Federal income taxes, not that it's relevant to anything. There's your fact check, so go ahead and piss right off with your "virtue signalling" bullshit.

Red states might generally be sick and fucking tired of being 'more dependent; while the blue states support other people having to be bogged down by such dependency.

spin, spin, spin...
