" You liberals love upping the debt"

Pick up a history book, ffs. One that admits the truth: Republicans changed America's fiscal sights from surpluses to deficits.

Clinton handed off surplus budgets, as far as the eye could see; Dubya handed off the largest deficits known to mankind.

Don't they teach history at West Point???

" our tax dollars are not charity."

Except you expect charity to address ALL of the society's needs.

How does that math work???

" Glad to hear you are making time to really live life."

Thanks for that.

Currently, the bride and I are in a Yurt in the mountains. I'm in front of a dying fire, and sipping the last parts of a Macchia Zinfandel.

Frankly, I feel lucky to get a signal.

" I suspect I will receive that from you when you provide a link"

I've provided the link on multiple occasions.

You keep blaming me for your inability to read it and understand it.

I'm not going to do your homework for you; I'd rather watch you make a fool of yourself post after post.

Go ahead, keep digging.

" That tends to happen when you are taking care of your country first instead of THEM."

I'd ask you to give a bigger middle finger to the Bible, but I don't think that's possible.

" All the statistical data confirm it."

As long as you get to define the parameters, amirite?

" It's genetic"

Riiiiiight.

Now let's have others author the tests, shall we?

Next up: questions on the differences between Gullah and Geechee, and a section on rap stars and their lyrics.

If you do poorly, can we call you ignorant?

" They waited until he died to reinstate him"

They were ALWAYS going to wait until he died to induct him.

That was the whole point of the "lifetime" ban.

" after I exposed him on his ridiculous tax cut claims, he is now quieter than a church mouse."

No to both.

I'm currently on my post-tax season vacation sojourn, including places off-grid and some too remote for signals.

But keep running that home run trot. By the time you get back to the catcher, you'll notice he's still holding strike three.

" ... but seeing as you guys tried to lock him away for 200 years ... "

What a riot.

Name any of Trump's indictments which you or I could do without fear of legal repercussions.

Or pretend it was Obama. Maybe that'll help.

" Honest question"

Lie.

"You don't own any stock."

Lie.

If you ever have more than $5 to your name ... "

Lie.

"you are buying lotto tickets and OnlyFan subscriptions."

Lie.

Amazing, how comfortably you lie.

" watching the Dems try to spin this as a "win" for China is absolutely hysterical."

How is that?

As a former negotiator, how does one person backing off unilaterally constitute anything but a loss???

Seriously, what did Trump win?

" lil jeffy will never cry about the constitutionality of this."

For any specific (R)eason?

" Do you honestly think offshoring production to China was a good idea?"

Do you honestly think offshoring production to China was a Democratic idea?

Do you honestly not know Republicans incentivized offshoring via the tax code?!?

Who do you blame?

" The reality of Jan 6, 2021 is it was essentially a 99% peaceful expression"

Sorry, pal, you've got to use the barometer of the Black Lives Matter protests: ANY violence is a 100% violent march. 91% of BLM protests were peaceful.

Using that measurement, 100% of J6 was violent.

" You can't honestly claim that today's pushback on transgender issues is purely religious or driven by hate."

Well, those are the two options, aren't they?

Either God told you, or you decided to make them the least of your brethren all by yourself.

Which is it?

"nor men who practice homosexuality,"

There's a HUGE disagreement on whether that says what you claim it does, or if it refers to the selling of young boys into sexual slavery.

But it's easy to target gays, so...

" Quoting scripture out of context ".

That's not out of context at all. The same section of Leviticus which "condemns" homosexuality, also condemns cutting certain sections of your hair, planting two crops in the same field, shellfish, and shirts of multiple fabrics.

Another section allows slavery, and it used to be cited to justify said human -------.

How about if you pick up a history book? Because you're coming across as a Cafeteria Christian.

" Maybe you should get out and find out for yourself "

What? Go to a church which not only treats someone as the least of their brethren, they go out of their way to CREATE a least of their brethren?!?

No thanks; I'd rather go to a Christian church.

"I spent years attending a conservative church, and not once did I hear a word about transgender people."

How about gay people? Ever a peep?

"It pits claims of discrimination against the right to practice one's faith."

The Bible allows slaves, provided they're from a neighboring country, and the slaveowner doesn't "rule over them ruthlessly".

Do I have a right to practice that belief? Let's assume I fervently hold that religious position.

Or-and go with me here-does it seem more like the adherent is looking for a justification for their (biblically forbidden) judgement?

"you have no issue lying"

Tell us again how SS is a Ponzi scheme, and not an equilibrium equation.

Ask Grok if you need help.

"you clearly didn't ask Grok to include the back portion of the equation"

Why is that?

Do you NOT understand the equation, or did you purposely leave out the interest on the new borrowing?

Ignorance, or Intellectual Dishonesty? Those are the only two choices.

" They would expire on Dec 31, 2025"

Some of the tax cuts for workers already expired. And they made the corporate tax cuts permanent.

Also, you clearly didn't ask Grok to include the back portion of the equation ... which only works if you're paying ZERO interest.

What you have is an instance of GIGO. And you're the Garbage.

"We better check his tats."

Who needs to? We can always Photoshop it later, amirite?
