-IRAN KILLING PROTESTORS WHETHER 3000 OR 30000 DOES NOT JUSTIFY A WAR OF AGGRESSION

what does war of aggression mean?

I think if 30K folks were being slaughtered.....there would be a humanitarian justification for intervention.

That's no defense for what we're doing now.

But don't get carried away.

nobody questions those referrals. Not private health insurance nor medicare.

They just assume it was justified. Technically, they can make the argument the referral was justified and appropriate.

It's no different in how prescriptions have worked for decades.

That's fair.

Did it hurt to type that?

local bar.......I'm not allowed in the local bars anymore.

intentionally done by the ICE agents who pulled the trigger.

Are you suggesting it was "intentional" on the part of higher ups? They outright ordered ICE agents to kill protestors?

So they killed a few.........are those protests still happening?

-Those damn leftists always taking note of the number of confederate flags and nazi tattoos at republican gatherings.

it's fair game, IMO.

I agree with this but it's not as simple as "Trump's policies".

The article doesn't really indicate anything that's unique or peculiar to Trump, other than he's simply more mean than previous republicans.

The examples are the racist posts from young republicans. Racism is considered, by the left, to be a pillar of conservatism. Revealing that racism isn't special.

It's merely letting the crime fit the punishment.

"MAGA might have driven the final nail in the coffin but the ground work for this was laid decades ago by Limbaugh and his ilk."

-I have stated this over and over again regarding California. It has the highest income inequality in the US.

People and the partisan politics can't decide if that's a good thing or not.

income equality is a good thing when you're seeing it in a liberal state.....but it's bad in a red state or a country run by republicans.

IOW, partisan politics get in the way of determining if income inequality is good or bad.

"this is probably why you've done so poorly, just an inability to read and comprehend."

without realizing it, some folks are destined to be poor no matter what opportunities they have right in front of them.

-Was Sen Fetterman a MAGA false flag plant among Democrats?

you're saying democrats are too dumb to figure anything out?

Or....could it be that you really have no tolerance for a moderate?

which is more likely to be true.

A. The democratic party can't sniff out a "MAGA false plant" in a candidate for the US Senate
B. The Drudge retort has some members who cry about anything that doesn't go their way and accuses any democrat of really being a MAGA should they not vote entirely the way they want.

honestly, his bloodline has nothing to do with him. He's a loner who loves ------.

I've visited it. Ratchet part of town....but a cool tour.

-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.
