" On a podcast two months ago, Patel said anyone involved in "Russiagate" should be stripped of their security clearances."

So ... Patel is denying what Republicans ADMITTED in The Rubio Report.

So ... he's not just carrying water, he's MAKING water.

"Will Pres-elect Trump pardon them?"

Yes.

If so, on what basis?

The basis that SCOTUS won't stop him.

"Was it a criminal conspiracy?"

It was certainly attempting to be one.

Regardless, you're lying about both its origin and its accuracy.

Did you ever actually read The Rubio Report, or is this just another example of you hiding behind your willful ignorance?

"You are clinging to a hoax"

Sorry, pal. I linked The Rubio Report for you a year or more ago.

FTW, The Republican-led Rubio Report detailed over 100 contacts between Team Trump and the Russians, all while Team Trump was telling America they had ZERO contacts.

And now, you're still denying what the Republicans ... already admitted.

Total partisan hack.

"Not much point in spazzing out..."

Who was spazzing out? I was just pointing out your claim was incorrect.

Because according to tax law, med school is a graduate program.

"Med school is completely separate"

So no caps at all?

" it puts caps and the amounts students can borrow ($50,000 for undergrad, $100K for graduate)"

There goes med school.

"But, yes, I have seen some stocks drop 10% (or more) in a day."

But usually for sound reasons, correct?

Riiiiiiight.

Because overnight valuation drops of 10% or more are to be expected of investments, amirite?

Old corporations used to require a Bhopal-like incident to drop 10%.

"CNN recently reported that X is 48% Dem and 47% GOP. "

Yet Elon's "poll" showed 70-20 during election season.

" If you had a job, maybe you'd understand how the increased standard deduction under Trump's tax cuts helped working families like mine."

If you had math skills, maybe you'd understand how the increased standard deduction is because your personal exemption was was taken away, then added to the standard deduction, making it HARDER for Americans to deduct stuff like mortgage interest, real estate taxes, and charitable donations. American workers didn't even get 15% of the tax cuts; hell, FOREIGN INVESTORS got more than American workers. But 83% went to the richest 1%, with 60% going to the top .1%.

Whatever news source told you Trump's tax cuts helped people like YOU was gaslighting.

"Walmart is threatening to push all of those neg consequences onto consumers"

That's because CONSUMERS pay the tariffs. Walmart won't be alone, either: EVERY outlet will have to adjust.

You didn't fall for that "Gyna pays" lie, did you?

" Yea...I'm sure Walmart will raise their prices and let Amazon take even more of their business."

Tell us you don't understand tariffs without using those specific words.

"Musk, Ramaswamy Proposal to Slash Spending"

You'll notice the billionaires will NEVER suggest a higher tax rate on themselves.

With apologies to Churchill, never in the field of taxation will so much be owed by so many to so few.

"My hope is DOGE comes up with changes that Congress can adopt."

You're joking, right?

Elon identified 75% of the problem as...wait for it...

...interest on the debt.

His answer is plunge Americans into hardship so he can continue his tax cuts, i.e., even MORE debt.

"case number ... "

You're joking, right?

From ny.gov-
Since 2015, New York State has arraigned 9,474 cases on charges of falsifying business records.

" Literally no ever was prosecuted for this "crime" before Trump."

What news outlet is lying to you like that? Literally, the office averaged three similar filings PER DAY for the past three years. Three cases for every eight hours of work.

"The case would have been overturned on appeal had this not happened."

For what legal reason? Be specific.

"I don't care who corrects course be it Republicans, Democrats or both."

That doesn't suddenly make your claim true.

Republicans made the UNILATERAL decision to reset America's fiscal sights. Blaming "both" is hackery.

"These are very different messages than what is conveyed by the primary source. This is why I question literally everything I read"

In studying Harry Truman many years ago, I discovered Harry always read multiple newspapers daily, to get varied takes on events.

I adopted the habit, and it stunned me how often basic facts claimed differed from article to article. A real eye-opener.

"he is banning transgender individuals from accessing bathrooms on the House side of the Capitol complex"

The cruelty is the point. And the fact it's aimed at one particular new Congress member is particularly cruel.

What a riot. Congress wanted to get rid of Matt Gaetz; what better way than play to his ego?

Look for a new mug shot of his in 2025.

"This really should be a bipartisan issue."

Dubya and Dick Cheney reset America's fiscal sights from surpluses to deficits, without a single Democrat voting in favor.

Why do you always leave out the salient part? FFS, we all lived through it.

"Susan Collins is concerned"

When will she say she's sure Gaetz has learned his lesson?
