-that's one big-effing hair!

remove it from your teeth and it won't seem so obtrusive

Again, I understand both of you.

And it's a tired old argument where hairs get split over filing status and dependents.

Boring....but if you want to keep running around screaming "I'm insulted by your posts...."

Be my guest.

And keep refusing to answer my questions in 59

-FFS, wouldn't you agree leaving out A SPOUSE AND TWO KIDS might have an effect on your bottom line???

Um.....yeah, I know that. you could read #63 after you wipe the blood off your mouth.

so does everyone.

Except you pretend he was trying to slide that whopper past folks.

But thanks to you........you caught that deceptive tactic.

LOL

-You don't think the US defaulting and tanking its credit rating would be disastrous?

Yes it would be.

Do you think that's actually happened?

You found an article that declared the US government to be insolvent.

Do you believe it?

I looked up the definition of insolvent and it's different for a public entity.

but I don't think the US Government is actually insolvent.

I would think the world would be behaving differently at the moment the US Government is declared insolvent.

I would think the first step would be to stop paying any interest on the debt

-Not just partial cuts, but complete cuts. VA? Gone. SSA? Gone. Medicare/medicaid? Gone.

When?

Cause....there are quite a few people who are dead without those programs.

And I know I'm not gonna pay more(well...any really) taxes if they're gonna cut those programs.

-It's more likely you jumped in to troll and obfuscate.

I always appreciate that opportunity when it presents itself and I have the time.

It's splitting hairs over the federal tax obligation of someone making $46K a year. Of course, that person isn't qualified in the scenario.

married, single, kids, etc...and those are significant variables

I understand what both of them are saying.

Then it's a very risky move to primary him unless you're sure you can win.

-Claiming people who make $46,000 pay no income tax is insulting..

single parent with 2 kids.

What's the federal income tax for that person?

Interesting....my daughter graduated last May. She started her job in July. Her W-2 is for about $46K for 2025.

not married, no kids......I'll let you know what the accountant tells me.

-Maybe if you had, you'd see the obvious misinterpretation as well.

I understood what he was saying.

you're pretending you didn't.

"The standard deduction for a single 40 yr old is $15,750. Any taxable income above that number pays income tax"

I understand the standard deduction but you're saying a single person making more than $15,750 WILL pay income tax?

What if that person has 2 dependent children?

"I'm insulted by the stupidity"

exactly. You're harmed, injured, insulted

Which is complete --------, BTW. You're just arguing your side.

You're not insulted. Nobody here missed it nor felt lied to.

And you're welcome to challenge his version with your version.

Stop pretending to be insulted.

No, I'm not kidding. 100% of the time when the subject of healthcare and health insurance and how accessible and affordable (or lack thereof) it is......that's where everyone deflects to when it's pointed out why our health outcomes are so poor compared to most other nations. Those fat asses are victimized completely.

-Apologize? Like I wronged you or something.

Disagreements and conflict prove who has thin skin and who doesn't.

Some here simply can't have it. They require complete agreement otherwise they are hurt, wronged, damaged.

"retract and apologize" is required by someone who can't process a disagreement. That's why they have the audacity to request an apology.

Because they are hurt.

"They Murdered the Supreme Leader of Shia Islam in a Cold Blooded attack that killed half his immediate family as Well.
All while Ongoing "Negotiations" were supposedly progressing toward a peaceful outcome. This is the Second Time such Perfidy was committed in less than one Year.
Iran was Negotiating in good faith both times.
Go ---- Yourself.
Iran won't "Negotiate" again with Israel/US. They are not capable of good faith. Why would they Stop Now? If they stop, Israel/US will just Rearm and hit them again later.
Iran will not stop until their objectives are attained.
The US Total Withdrawal from the ME,the Destruction of Israel as a Jewish State.
Big War Coming.
Nukes quite likely to be used."

Now THAT is a "no it all" post from someone who hasn't a single clue about any of this.

Which is fine......keep em' coming.

"Intelligent people Don't."

I don't need to believe anybody here.

You do.....and that's because you're NOT intelligent.

You're a kid who's hoping his dad catches him in the pool when he jumps in.

"I can't Stand these Nobody's who think they have All the answers.
If you want to believe his BS that's fine."

You're an intolerant moron.

Everybody has an opinion. This place is chock full of "nobodies who think they have all the answers" on any subject at any given time. You're fine with much of it, whether you realize it or not.

Man, you really can't spell or capitalize worth a ----.

Which is fine but you'll get hit with it if you start attacking anyone's education.

You are free to be a dumfuq all you want here. But don't pretend you're anything else but when you're pretending to "cant' stand....." --------.

It's risky for either party to attempt to primary a sitting senator. But....if you feel as if losing the seat to a republican is basically what you have now....then so be it.

-I know public schools in Kansas Suck

some do. yes....but that's irrelevant.

Did your public school teach you how to spell or when to capitalize? Your posts indicate it didn't.

Your only apparent "Intention" is to act like a jealous little wimp whose girlfriend got plowed by a real man.

LOL

This "anti-intelligence" and "stupid parents" talk.......it's as if you're starting to notice fat people raising fat kids and how insanely they have been "endangering" their kids.

We been blaming doctors, pharma, processed food and fast food industries for that problem.

And it's fair to a point.....they are deliberately trying to fatten up your kid with all that ----.

But parents seem to get a pass on all of that. they're victims of sorts......

But not here, by God. We're gonna call them out on this.

LOL

-Republicans went bonkers when Obama unfroze $1.7b Iranian funds.

so? Is that in any way an answer to my question? I don't disagree but it's not even close to an answer.

-Oh,Master of War.

did he rawdog your girlfriend or something?

Or are you not into girls?

"if Iran Achieves it's Objectives"

what exactly are Iran's objectives?

-What if we just gave Iran $200 billion dollars to quit?

quit what, exactly? developing nuclear weapons?

-Trump measures success by the stock market.

Every president and their respective supporters do that when the market goes up.

The opposition always chants "but wall street isn't main street" and point to the obvious challenges that's always present even when the market is up. unemployment, underemployment, poverty rate, uninsured, etc.

The stock market has done better with a democrat in the WH over the past 30-40 years.

Or at least that claim has been made a couple million times here on the DR......so I'll assume it's true.

You're right.....Trump measures success by the stock market......but he's not alone.

For the first time I can remember, it's getting really hard to defend our position of keeping Israel as an ally. Their tactics and behavior has traditionally been ignored by our government.

but that's getting harder to do now.
