Has he actually explained a plan to even "cut our taxes" because if I recall every tax proposal that's come up raises the taxes on people living paycheck to paycheck.

gotta pay for the tax cuts for the wealthy some how--it all can't come from cuts to essential social services, or by increasing the national debt, ya know.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The tariffs are going to pay for the tax cuts, duh.

No wonder the pope had a stroke after talking to this guy

I hope Pope willfully took an exit to talk to The Guy about this couchlover.

Welp, time for him to suffer similarly. As a public employee, his salary should be $7.25/hr, and have $10 in his checking account.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Wait, you guys have $10? /s

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Due to inflation, it's now only worth three fiddy.

Republicans and Trump Admin Will Garnish Struggling Borrowers' Wages as Student Loan Payments Resume

The Trump administration on Monday announced that it will resume involuntary collection measures against defaulted federal student loan recipients, including garnishing wages, tax refunds, and Social Security benefits and "other actions to help borrowers get back into repayment," as the U.S. Department of Education euphemistically said.

"Resuming collections protects taxpayers from shouldering the cost of federal student loans that borrowers willingly undertook to finance their postsecondary education," DOE said in a statement notifying the public that collections will resume May 5. "This initiative will be paired with a comprehensive communications and outreach campaign to ensure borrowers understand how to return to repayment or get out of default."

Taxpayers wouldn’t have to shoulder that debt if it were simply canceled.

I know republicans would never dare make it easier on students to learn, but, this argument is bs.

It will be worth it when they fucking rebel. We are three missed meals away from revolution.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

three missed meals

I thought it was 9, but I guess with intermittent fasting, it could be the same time frame

Sorry, I guess I was thinking about cats.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My cat would be sizing me up after missing breakfast.

JD Vance was justifiably bullied in school

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

I'll deal with it, but could you be a dear and come show me how, in person? And no need to bring any form of security, half the people on this street are former marines, specwar navy, an army Ranger, and about a dozen former national guard. They'll all be here to ensure security of the country.

You know there was a time when an administration tried to woo their base

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

So what is the actual strategy at this point? They are being way too bold about this. Like I'm worried they have an escape pod that they're planning to hop on/fly away while they flip us all off and leave us stranded on a smoldering earth.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The goal is to cause civil unrest, to declare martial law and violently put down the unrest. To fragment the US into micro nations, tech cities governed by oligarchs, as well as Christofascist Gileads.

It’s accelerationism, it’s been accelerationism, the weirdos on /pol/ and Mencius Moldbug have been pretty clear on that.

Fuck you, JD

The first president of Estonia after regaining our independence, was once quoted saying "The situation is shit, but it's the fertilizer of our future."

The meaning is very similar, in that he was saying that the hard times need to be suffered for things to get better, but what's different between him and the current American administration? Well, for one, the situation wasn't shit because of his personal ego trade war, it was shit because the economy was shit in every ex-soviet nation for a time. It took time to accustom to independence and free markets. But most of all, he spoke from a place of respect, not one of disrespect. Him saying that was his honesty to the Estonian people. He didn't lie and say everything would get good quickly. This was also a man you could simply approach publicly and he'd answer your questions. Didn't need to be a press release and you didn't need to be a journalist or a celebrity.

What I'm saying is that dear Americans, your current president and vice president simply don't respect you.
