    Trump talk only- no Eagles talk allowed (Steelers talk is OK though)

    No...he's really good at studying where heavy rains will most likely accumulate.
  2. So here is some info on the TCJA: https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/jep.38.3.3 If the full article doesn't come up the abstract covers the basics but essentially: Additionally some of the provisions in the bill expired in 2021, some in 2022, some in 2023, some will at the end of 2024, and the whole bill at the end of 2025.
  3. It does if they are distorting the actual content and details surrounding the act in order to influence people to their way of thinking. And because of how politicians have repeatedly hammered this idea that the media can't be trusted there are more people than should be buying what TitoComrade is selling.

    Jon Ralston- a polling expert in Nevada- says early signs are not great for Democrats there. Nate Silver says his gut tells him Trump will win- although he does say it is 50/50 which means exactly that...it's a coin flip and if polls are off they could be off as much as 3-4 points in either direction. CNN says this is the closest election polling numbers in like 50 years. My guess is realtim never returns to the forum. As I have for weeks now I say Trump will win with like 285 electoral votes
  5. We should not believe idiots on Twitter and youTube just because they align politically.
  6. She would fall under the part of the story that is offering denials? Did you skip that part of my post? Also, I would assume Trump wouldn't have said the comment about what it costs to bury a Mexican in front of the family.
  7. TBF- The Atlantic in the piece is providing both sides of the story and is offering confirmations and denials of the story from various parties. That's what a journalist should do. Would it surprise me if Trump said it? No. Do I think he said it? I certainly hope not but he has said some bad things about people in service before- not even from anonymous sources, from his own mouth. So it's within the realm of possibility that he did say it.
  8. 1.) The language got updated in 2020 but it wasn't talked about because there were no crazy people picking up the story and promoting it. 2.) He will use the power the same way he is perceiving it to be used against him. 3.) Stop believing the lies of these online influencers and promoters.

    Rudy ordered to give penthouse to Georgia election workers

    Poor Rudy. The dude was a pretty good mayor in NYC by all accounts and did a lot to help the city. And in the aftermath of 9/11 he did a lot to assuage fears and promote NYC as a fighter who would rise back up setting them up as a microcosm of the larger US as a whole. He didn't do everything perfect during it all but there is a reason he became "America's Mayor" during that time.... And then 20 years later he trades it all in to be a ball washer for a grifting douchenozzle who won't do a single thing to help Rudy out now because Rudy is of no value to him. Giuliani is like the other old people who have been taken advantage of by the system and are rundown and beatdown in their waning days just because they are easily duped.

    This economy is so bad

    Yeah when you have nothing to add you turn to emojis. Witty comeback. Maybe go search for those posts and try again later.
  11. Here is a good article on the timeline for this: https://www.cip.uw.edu/2024/10/18/rumors-defense-department-directive-5240-01/ Essentially- the directive was put out in 2007 and updated in 2013 and 2020 and then again in September of 2024. A reporter for Steve Bannon's media network put out there about some change in language. It got picked up by a newsbroker on Twitter A natural healing blog ran with the story and is the first place to directly tie it to the 2024 election. Then a bunch of crazy extreme right wing sites latch on and it gets passed around Rumble and Gettr. Then a TikToker- named TitoComrade makes a video about it. Then a gun enthusiast channel on YouTube makes a video about it So yeah it seems like this is a directive that gets updated. It did this time and a bunch of nuts decided it means "LETHAL FORCE AGAINST CITIZENS!!" and it is becoming a story that is not based in any kind of factual ideas. I get that people hate Biden and hate Harris (and hate Trump) but don't fall for every single idiotic story that gets thrown out there just cause it fits the narrative you want to project.

    You are just sad. It's not even fun drubbing you anymore.

    This economy is so bad

    Oh no....a tenth of the stores of a restaurant chain are closing because people are not eating greasy 1500 calorie meals at 3am as much anymore... how will we ever survive? Where will HT now eat his 4pm dinner? more seriously though- we always see the doom scrolling stories of places closing. We ignore that lots of restaurant/fast food chains saw growth: Shake Shack Tropical Smoothie Cafe Raising Cane's Wendy's McDonalds Chipotle Freddy's Jersey Mike's Jack in the Box Del Taco
  14. They don't care. They are cool with handing the murder weapon to the villain because they sound cool and they "tell it like it is..."

    See you know what I'm talking about. It's fine man...you lost on that. I gave you a lesson yesterday on presidential election ties. You're currently 0-2 this week so of course you are going to try and keep punching. Anything else you want to look stupid on today? I know it's your kink to get hammered on here but like- give it a rest. Let the thing breathe. It's gonna end up bleeding you work at it that much.

    MAGA- the party that wants to protect family values....and also champion guys who cheat on their wives and abandon their kids. Again- a strong disconnect.

    Hey you guys want to open the hen house door to the fox and then turn your back on him that's your thing.... I choose to not trust those people. Also, I know what's best for me. It's a shame some people don't know what's best for themselves long term.

    Al Smith Dinner, Trump wins the election

    Both sides legislate to their extremes anymore and politics is worse for it. The abortion issue is one where politically we get it so wrong. There should be access to them up to a defined point (I still hold 20 weeks is a solid cutoff point since it is halfway through a full term pregnancy.) There should be federal protections to them as well considering that there are people who live in states (sometimes through circumstances not fully within their control) who may need an abortion that would not have access to one if the scenario called for it. Anything shorter than like 6 weeks on abortion is absurd. Anything beyond second trimester is absurd. There is a middle ground there that we should be able to find but no politician seems to want to do that.

    The disconnect is real...

    The MAGA's who think the common man is getting screwed are championing Donald Trump and Elon Musk....the disconnect is real.

    I know you like to play victim here but it ain't gonna work. You said what you said- I quoted it exactly and you can't seem to prove what you claim otherwise. Take the L and move on
