RLLD 4,230 Posted June 24, 2024 As I mentioned previously, Trump needs to pose questions to Biden as part of his delivery. CNN is firmly a propaganda outlet for Democrats, and they will manipulate the entire event to benefit Biden. Trump can offset this to some degree by throwing the questions CNN will avoid as they work diligently to protect him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he hasn’t already, Trump will start talking about muh fraud soon. If he loses, it will be muh fraud. And if he wins, he’d have won even bigger if not for muh fraud! We’ve all met people like this.

But Trump needs to frame it as "Unanswered question from the democrats...." and then give his answer to the question. Do that throughout the debate, and biden should short circuit if his juice cocktail they pump into him is a bit off. Trump can just give a 10 second response to the original liberal slanted question, and adjust it accordingly and then continue on that way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easilyscan 926 Posted June 24, 2024 Has Trump ever attacked Biden on his record relating to taxation of Social Security ? If not, he should. In the early 1980s, President Ronald Reagan, with congressional leaders, convened a bipartisan commission to study the issue. In 1983, that commission issued a report that formed the basis for amendments to the Social Security program. Among the recommendations in the report was that up to 50% of benefits be taxed as income for recipients who had income over a certain threshold. Congress set that threshold a little higher than recommended, at $25,000 for single people and $32,000 for married couples. The income thresholds weren’t indexed to inflation, though. So, as time went on, inflation would rise but the thresholds would remain the same. The bill that included that change to the program passed in a bipartisan vote in 1983. Biden was one of 88 senators who voted for it. 10 years later, in 1993, Congress passed a bill to raise that amount to 85%. Under this bill, single recipients with income over $34,000 and married couples making more than $44,000 could pay income tax on up to 85% of their SS benefits. The tax bill, which included several controversial changes, was highly partisan. Not a single Republican voted in favor of it. Biden voted for the bill, along with the majority of his Democratic colleagues in the Senate. I'm almost certain that of all those who voted on it in 1983 and 1993, Biden is the only one still involved in politics. It's bad enough that they decided to tax something that was supposed to be explicitly free from federal taxation, but to never go back & adjust those income levels for inflation is criminal. Think about it this way. In 2024, Biden figures it's fine to begin taxing 85% of Social Security for a singles making over 34K a year, & couples over 44K, while giving huge tax breaks/loan forgiveness to singles making up to 125K & couples up to 250k. Those income figures for SS recipients were pretty damn high back in 1983, and still not bad in 1993. 31 years later, they aren't squat. If Biden had an ounce of honor or integrity running through his veins, at the very least, he'd adjust those income levels for inflation. Trump needs to attack him on this.

Says he can’t underestimate him. All of that talk about “senile and demented” it was all a show, yet another lie for the MAGA suckers that love him. Suckers like you. Biden started from a very low plateau and is clearly suffering the early to mid stages of dementia. If you fail to see this you are deliberately failing to see. This is not an endorsement of Trump who is below any bar I have for who should be President, but Biden is sinking. He can barely walk without toppling over. You can see each step he takes is a cognitive and balance challenge. He loses his train of thought in nearly every other sentence. He chews his words. He is quick to anger. He believes his own autobigraphical lies. He is a mess. I believe Trump has started down this road as well but is a few stages short of where Biden currently is. I don't believe anyone in good conscience can believe either man is likely to finish the term for which they are running .I find it irresponsible that each side is trying to push their guy over the finish line. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What happened? … Somebody didn’t pick up hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cocaine. I wonder who that could’ve been. I don’t know. Actually, I think it was Joe.” Trump apparently has no idea of the cost of cocaine. I saw the remnants of an eight ball. $250 to $300 depending and only around $100 left.

Conservatives shouldn’t ever bring up social security or debt issues until they come up with plans for fixing them. We already know that if Trump gets in he’s going to massively increase the debt, as he did last time even before Covid, and do nothing to address Social Security.
