Look at this poor, dumb, slob living vicariously through billionaires.
Who cares how much disposable income 4 billionaires have. Your quality of life isn't dependent on their wallets.
Do you know what the initial income tax was? 6% on income over $500k – in 1913. This is roughly $16.5 million in today's money. Is the tax rate even close to that today?
Any "small" tax targeted at billionaires will eventually expand to MANY more people. Every government has a spending problem. Just look at Washington and their illegal income tax they've imposed.
We know many Libs will still be watching every second squirming. I will not be.
Why not? Don’t miss it; I believe Israel will nominate Trump for Nobel peace prize tonight. This will be the most watched show in human history, and the rating will set historic records for centuries to come. You can take a short break from your 3.5 pickleball tournament.
Trump already has been nominated many times for the 2026 peace prize. He already ended 8 wars, is about to end a 9th (Iran), and the 10th will soon follow (Ukraine).

Nobody defends billionaires better than dudes making 40,000 per year.

Good thing we have an administration now that doesn't do stuff like spend billions of taxpayer dollars a day on illegal wars

Cute. I pay roughly that amount (including state and local) in half a year.
Sure, I'm not a billionaire – or even close – but I am comfortable. Tell me how voting Democrat would benefit me. I use virtually 0 public services. So why should I want to get taxed more to get nothing in return?

Someday you might realize it’s not all about you. But maybe not.

If you paying 80k in taxes is true, voting Republican doesn't help you either. While you pat yourself on the back for paying 80K in taxes, that equates to 250 to 300k in income. Nothing Republicans do benefits a middle income schmuck like you.

10 nominations may not be enough as the Obama kid beats him at every turn. He needs to invade Cuba, Greenland and Canada so he can finally get the peace award.
Those of us who know The Score already know the answer to that question.
Are you tuning in to the Trump v. Barbara Ann SCOTUS argument? It begins in 10 minutes. Trump is even attending - first time a US president has ever made such a strange appearance at a SCOTUS argument. I think Trump thinks he's going to stare down (stink eye) Gorsuch, Barrett, Kavanaugh and Roberts. Anyway, you really should be listening in, because I guarantee this case directly affects you and your closest ilks.
Solicitor General D. John Sauer getting absolutely skewered in court. Expect a full on Trumper tantrum in a few months when the Supreme Court tells him his birthright citizenship executive order is kaput.
Sauer got hit hard, but he's also a damn good appellate lawyer, and he got his points in.
I don't think Gorsuch was buying what the government was saying.
Sauer said that it's the domicil of the mother that matters, not the father. So that cuts down the work some of you MAGAs with more sketchy backgrounds need to do. Just worry about what you can prove your mother was doing in America at the time of your alleged birth, not your dad. Fathers are irrelevant on these citizenship matters according to the US government.
DEI Thomas thinks the 14th Amendment is about freed slaves and nothing else.
Sauer asked the court to rule only prospectively. I wish some Justice has said "WTF? How? How the fvck would it even be possible to rule on a Constitutional Amendment prospectively only?"
Kavanaugh seemed sold on the universally understood holding of the Wong Bing Ching Chong case.
Barrett seemed skeptical of the government's case.
One attendee at the SCOTUS reported on social media that Trump was playing with his phone for the first 20 minutes and the bailiffs were too scared to tell him to stop. Beep beep beep. Then, apparently, he fell asleep for the remainder and spittle was drooling down the left side of his chin onto his tie. Some appearance he made. How much did that cost the taxpayer hauling him down to the SCOTUS so he could snooze? Jesus Christ.
Alito believes that if another country can claim an American born baby as a citizen of the other country, then the American born baby cannot be American. He's losing his mind. American citizenship is determined by a foreign country's desires? How the hell would that work?
I think it goes 7-2, and the only thing of interest will be what kind of activist dissenting opinion Alito can write about irrelevant stuff like lax immigration laws and Chinese birth tourists. It's worth noting that his parents were from Italy, which was an enemy of America during WWII. So maybe ICE needs to pay him a visit to discuss things a bit.
Trump went to the SCOTUS to defend his EO banning birth-right citizen. He mumbled, loaded his diaper, struggled to stand up, and dragged his dead leg out of the "event." The was no room for his devil's tail between his legs ... the diaper load got first dibs.

High quality recap. Did anyone bring this up?
Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984.

Trump's grandmother came to the U.S. in 1905, after Trump's grandfather was kicked out of Germany. Trump's father was born in NYC in October 1905. So, Trump's came over with an anchor baby conceived in Bavaria.
Trump had someone invent paperwork that showed his grandfather became a U.S. citizen in 1982, six years after fleeing Bavaria to dodge a mandatory draft. There are questions whether this was "modified" to backdate that actual year of citizenship.
Either way, Trump's grandmother was not a citizen when Trump's father was born.

Melania wasn’t a citizen when she got knocked up with Barron. The whole Trump clan is anchor babies. Denaturalize and deport.
Start a war, destroy things, accomplish nothing, get bored move on.
He's an arsonist. He just enjoys lighting the fires. Putting them out is someone else's job
The UK and Australian heads of state will have simultaneous talks tonight. The odds are the Trump will present an EO withdrawing the U.S. from NATO. The UK and Australian appear to be set to reassure the world that NATO will continue, and maybe that the U.S. will be permanently banned from ever joining again.
MAGAs can thank Trump when a foreign nation attacks the U.S. No one is going to help block warships and prevent warplanes for coming over to buzz Mar-a-Lardo and Kid Rock's place.
