Personally, I'm going to start blaming 1Nut's Gen for tic-toc and doom scrolling... not mention celebrity incels.

"So it would be completely unsurprising to me if that is what Donald Trump meant.
I've just come to expect these kind of vile comments from him because he's done this over and over and over again down through the years.

The bigger takeaway to me is how so many in the crowd cheered when he said this.

Even if that's not exactly what he meant, they took it that it would be fine if those two cities were destroyed because it would be a small price to pay.

What that demonstrates in my opinion is how far Trump's vileness has infected other people.

And these are probably the same people who would consider themselves Christian, who would quote a Bible verse to you. And yet they cheer at the prospect of two deep blue cities possibly being destroyed.

That is my takeaway. Donald Trump's vileness is contagious."

ha! The OP answers that question with each and every post.

And now, when a Dem and a Repub lawmaker want to try to make adjustments, he's going to cry about that.

Payroll taxes are regressive, and upper limits on income for taxing SS is obscene when millionaires and billionaires already pay less as a percentage of their income.

And this ESL dropout teaching us American history? That's always good for a laugh.

"Moreno, Warren NYT Op-ed: Lift The Social Security Cap

WASHINGTON " Today, Senators Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wrote a new op-ed in the New York Times laying out their plan to lift the Social Security payroll tax cap to extend the solvency of the program for future generations of hardworking Americans.

"One of us is a Republican from Ohio who built a business that generated hundreds of jobs. The other is a Democrat from Massachusetts who built a career protecting consumers from financial tricks and traps."

"We don't agree on everything, but here's one thing we do agree on: Congress must act now to save Social Security for generations of Americans to come."

"Social Security is a core component of our nation's promise " a covenant between the federal government and Americans who pay into it throughout their working years so they can retire with dignity."

"Why should a middle-class nurse pay a larger share of her paycheck " than a wealthy corporate lawyer? This is doubly unfair in an economy in which top earner's wages, over time, have pulled far ahead of those of the average worker."

[ ... ]

"This is a no-brainer: the wealthiest Americans, who have benefited the most from America's opportunities, should contribute the same percentage of their income as a factory worker in Chillicothe, Ohio, or a teacher in Worcester, Mass."

Trump Threatens Lamplighter with.... mean girl taunts on his social account.

When all else fails.... rile up the Base against the Evil NYTimes!

They've already been instructed to cheat like hell, so maybe they'll vote 3-4 times!

"But other scientists warn that a similar approach could be used to reveal people's inner thoughts and mental imagery, potentially without their consent. "The results seem very impressive," says Tommy Sprague, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

"But if there's a way to surreptitiously extract information about what you're thinking about, then ... 150 years of sci-fi can come true anytime, and that's worrisome in a lot of ways."

One wonders how JeffyBelle missed most of the Domestic Terrorism over the last several decades in the country being committed by rwing white nationalists, according to the FBI and DHS?

- The Baltic states need the war.

The competition for dumbest poster is now completely sealed.

Those states barely have any military at all, and are dependent on NATO.

Not sure how progressives and libs here traumatized 1Nut into posting whatever stupid narrative that comes into his so-called mind to contradict whatever we are posting, no matter what it is, just so he stands out... but the comic relief is almost worth it.

Funny part in the article is his Campaign Manager saying that, no, he wasn't talking about the Trump Admin... he was talking about Super Pacs which we aren't allowed to cooperate with.

As if that's better than coordinating with the WH?

He's obviously setting up an excuse if he loses even though he's spending more money.

Another totally irrelevant 1Nutaboutism?

Who's surprised?

Anyone... no?

Deflections, obfuscations, various and sundry (look it up) other logical fallicies are all he ever has.

His bio will be titled, "The Troll Who Tried Too Hard".

This is going to make big time movie some day... after DJT is boiled in oil; nice finale!

"If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I'm going to give all Adult Citizens in the United States of America, $5,000," Trump said in a Truth Social video post Saturday. The president made a similar pledge at the Republican National Committee's first midterm convention in Dallas last month.

Trump hasn't provided any details on who would authorize the payments and where the money would come from."

Grift and Bribe, Bribe and Grift. Rinse, Repeat.

Proves that his Cult will believe ANYTHING!

video report

original story:

"Whistleblower who flagged Lutnick's links to Epstein dies

The former British banker who spent more than 35 years working in financial markets has died by suicide

by Chris Newlands

Andriesz was previously a managing director at Wall Street firm BGC Group where Lutnick, now the US commerce secretary, was chief executive officer.

The death of the 57-year-old was confirmed by Andy Agathangelou, the founder of campaign group Transparency Task Force, which has previously hosted events related to whistleblowing with Andriesz."

lmao... Chinaboy knows more about American Pres than we do?

What a joke.

DJT has surrounded himself with the selfish Prosperity Gospel fanatics that apparently see his Grift as proof of his 'Kingship', and see the People as a source of wealth to be taken advantage of.

What does their book say about how a King should rule?

"Endow the king with your justice, O God,
the royal son with your righteousness.

May he judge your people in righteousness,
your afflicted ones with justice.

May the mountains bring prosperity to the people,
the hills the fruit of righteousness.
May he defend the afflicted among the people
and save the children of the needy;
may he crush the oppressor."

"For he will deliver the needy who cry out,
the afflicted who have no one to help.

He will take pity on the weak and the needy
and save the needy from death.

He will rescue them from oppression and violence,
for precious is their blood in his sight."

"Then all nations will be blessed through him,
and they will call him blessed."

What IS that? 1Nut's stage name?

Turns out she was an Intern werking for druggie/sex pervert Matt Gaetz.... so Trump's gotten into his leftovers.

INut posts a Deflection about the thead article whining that it's somehow a Deflection?

You can't make this stuff up!

"When taking a comprehensive view of taxation and income, ultra-high-net-worth individuals appear less taxed than the average American."

"The researchers also found that, overall, the amount of corporate tax paid by the top 400 on their businesses fell by one-third between the period 2014-2017 and the period 2018-2020.

In 2018, U.S. law slashed the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

As a result of the changing landscape, the authors found, the top 400 wealthiest own so much wealth that it amounts to one-fifth of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).

The authors cite data from Forbes magazine, which compiled its first list of the 400 richest Americans in 1982.

At the time, the top 400 owned 0.9% of total household wealth in the U.S., compared to 4.1% today. Using a different metric, the wealth of the top 400 in 1982 accounted for 2% of total U.S. GDP; now they control 20%."

What's hilarious in #3 is him not even grokking that he's referring to a song that parodies modern greed, not promotes it.

So much stupid, so little brains.

1Nut's obsession with DJT's ------- is getting embarrassing.

Perhaps he should just apply for WH Aide job.
