Rofl...again liberals have a hard time understanding economics.

1. Why is Trump evil for getting rid of a good amount of income tax requirements for middle- and low-income people? He got rid of taxes on tips and some other things that essentially lower income tax burdens. But liberals still demonize him for it.
2. Any tax on the rich is just like a tariff wherein the costs are passed on to the consumer, or worse. And this is the part liberals TRULY need to finally understand so we can actually move forward with real solutions. The wealthy have very little liquid money. Most of their money is tied up in investments of companies. Any big tax on them means they have to sell their investments in those companies. And when a lot of money is divested from a company, they are forced to raise prices, lay off workers, etc.
2b. This is why investments can't be taxed, on top of it being a net loss for people with investments. I'll try to explain it in a way a typical liberal can understand at a 5th grade level. If I make $100k a year but I have $500k in investments and you tax me on my networth, you tax me on $600k. If you charge me 10%, then I'd pay $10k for my $100k. Yet, if you tax me 10% on my networth at $600k...I now have to pay $60k which is 60% of my actual income that year. Then I have to sell my investments. Every year, I'd end up having to sell more of my investments until eventually I have very little. Nobody, not even middle class, can sustainably live off of that kind of system.

I'm not saying we shouldn't tax the wealthy more or make them contribute more. I'm just saying that so far liberals haven't found a way of doing that that doesn't cause layoffs, price increases, etc. In fact, the one solution that would cause everyone to pay more based on their status is a flat tax but liberals for some reason don't like that.

The sarcasm falls very flat but I guess liberals can't get out of the way of their own ineptness. Trump has been calling on EU to help with the Russia situation since the war began. Trump has been calling on the EU to help find identify better drug prices for everyone. Trump has been working with the EU on many things.

But, we all know that liberals have to make a point using sarcasm or parody because they can't make good arguments. What Trump hasn't done is blindly follow along with and/or bow down to the EU for everything. Liberals don't know any other way than to be followers so it isn't really their fault, it's just how their ideologies intersect reality.

Also, why do liberals shut up so quickly when the topic of EU comes up where they are doing things in a conservative way like immigration laws? Many EU countries have a lot of things they do that don't meet the liberal agenda but when that comes up...crickets. The hypocrisy is palpable. As I always say, liberals could run this country if they could just get out of their own way.

"I can't see California doing something this bigoted."

It is very sad that liberals now despise basic laws of communication for a society to function. I don't think there is one ill in our entire reality that liberals will not call bigoted when it suits their purpose.

Wait, you stubbed your toe? That's because America is bigoted. You ate a triple quarter pounder with extra cheese and bacon and you got fat. Oh damn, that's a result of American bigotry. You have a different opinion than me? That means you are bigoted.

Victimhood is all liberals know today. I can't wait until that party is full of adults again so I can root for them, having to support Cons against those children is very draining and really pisses me off the Dem party has come to this.

It was a forgettable show by a forgettable artist that delivered very little of its promises. I was excited that he kept saying this was a unifying event. That he was going to use the forum to show unity and to embrace our differences (his direct words). Instead, he delivered a show that only served to show the history of a land with about 1% of the population of America and to show off his gyrating dancing skills.

Overall, it wasn't any better or worse than any other average show. Problem is, it was all in Spanish which inherently doesn't serve to unify anyone since the large majority of the audience was not able to understand him. His words may have been the most prophetic, most resounding and capable words to unify this country but very few would even know.

When I saw them prepping and saw so many people dressed as plants, I thought it was going to be an amazing visual spectacle. Instead, I barely even noticed anything from that aspect of the show. Being objective, it wasn't a good show and it wasn't a bad show. The only people who thought it was a good show are those with a liberal agenda (who are still trying to justify it was a good show by making things up like "you didn't even have to know Spanish"...yes, yes you did and it's not even arguable) and the only people who thought it was a bad show are those with a conservative agenda (who hates anyone that even uses any hint of non''Murican English and judges without even at least watching first).

If you actually judge by vocal talent, dancing talent, and a unifying message he promised...it fell short. But, even without being able to understand the words, it was still better than some I've seen recently so I wasn't mad at it. I just hate that it wasn't in any way what he promised. Which means it was all for views and marketing. Very much like The Weeknd performance that he tried to lead up to all year by staging costumes and such (which was awesome and I really loved he had it planned for so long) but then fell incredibly flat in the actual performance.

The saddest part is that the majority of problems are all because people can't compromise. All people know how to do these days is be hypocrites who blame everyone else for the world's problems but ignore everything their own side does that is bad.

Oooooooooooooooh...not bad!! Not bad at all. It's been quite a while since this argument has been used by either party. The ol' "the party did it to themselves to make a point" shtick hasn't been used effectively since the Smollet situation and liberals defending him like he's a saint. I'm sure it's been used in circles since then but not on a national scale.

Very interesting; however, I'm sure Trump and his goons had this one in their pocket just waiting to throw out when something bunches up their panties. But it's still not nearly as bad as one party supporting and/or encouraging violent riots, violent crimes done by illegals, etc. Well, now that a Rep did it though I guess we can start a betting circle to figure out when a Dem will do it. It's only a matter of time.

A couple of my truly good life long friends use right wing media and they have a lot of right wing friends and are in the social media echo chamber. They spout lies and they don't want to listen until you hit them with a hard fact and that only temporarily puts them off keel. It's brainwashing."

A couple of my truly good friends use left wing media and they have a lot of left wing friends and are in the social media echo chamber. They spout lies and they don't want to listen until you hit them with a hard fact and that only temporarily puts them off keel. It's brainwashing.

See, the same can be done for the other side. The fact liberals refuse to accept any responsibility for anything bad, refuse to accept that not everyone with their ideology is a perfect saint, refuse to accept the reality of situations instead of what their media tells them to think is absolutely destroying this country just as much as Reps are. The fact that it is so easy to see this if you are objective is why the word "idiocracy" is so easy to use against both parties today.

But continue thinking your party and followers are perfect and can do no wrong. It ensures idiots like Trump are electable.

The reality still remains that more people have been murdered, raped, and/or had violent crimes committed against them than ICE has wrongfully treated people. A LOT more. Yet, when illegals commit those crimes, Dems support them. And that's not conjecture or assumption, that is IN WRITING, ON VIDEO, etc. It cannot be argued or denied.

Once libs start caring about Americans as much as they do illegals, a lot of this will go away because they will finally stop using ideology for political points and using their ideology to actually help America. Once libs become the bigger person, cons will have no chance of leading this country. But, as usual, libs instead care more about ideology than they do about what is best for Americans.

It's good she is posing to her people. That is very necessary to ensure they do not think she is falling in lockstep with the US as a new puppet. However, behind the scenes, things are progressing like they should. This is a nonstory and is just a move by her to show power to her people, which is an awesome thing to do in this situation.

He died because he was terminally ill and had all kinds of complications in the months leading up to his death. Partisan people will exaggerate ANYTHING if it helps their narrative. You can still feel emotions for the guy and not exaggerate to make political points. In fact, all that does is make YOU the bad person in this situation.

He's no more eager to escalate than all of the people coming out to "peacefully" protest.

Liberals can't see the forest for the trees. But, all both sides see is their ideology and are incapable of seeing anything else. The truth is this, regardless of how much you want to try to infect the situation with your own ideological bs.

Cons see illegals causing problems. A small portion of them are raping, murdering, abusing their time in the US, etc. Cons do not support this, liberals do. So then cons exaggerate the problem so they can send ICE. So then ICE comes in, makes people mad because they don't agree they should be there, so they start protesting. As is typical with protests, a small portion of protestors become problems and start getting violent or otherwise not peaceful with ICE, causing ICE to have to respond with violence. Liberals do not support this, cons do. This is the stupid cycle we are stuck in. All because a small portion on both sides think their ideology is better than anyone else's and feel they should take action in a way that is NOT becoming of our Constitution or any civilized society.

Just like with the LA riots and liberals claiming there aren't any riots and Trump is exaggerating, the actual problems in MN are nowhere near the levels of exaggeration libs are claiming. In the end, all that is happening is that libs accept the tiny fraction of crimes that illegals do and cons accept the tiny fraction of crimes ICE is doing. So both ideologies are fighting the exact same thing, the only difference is who is carrying out the crimes. Either Americans become victims of illegals or they become victims of ICE.

Again, you can ignore that all you want but that's the reality we are in. Like I've been saying for years, NEITHER side is fighting to fix problems. All they are doing is fighting to ensure their acceptance of the negatives of their ideology can exist without the other side's nonacceptance of the negatives. Both sides just completely ignore the negatives. Where is the lib outrage when an illegal murders, rapes, etc. an American (it IS happening and denying it at this point is just ignoring reality)? And, where is the con outrage when an American authority murders, beats, etc. a person who did nothing to warrant it (it is happening and denying it at this point is just ignoring reality)?

I'm so sick of both sides and their hypocrisy and fabricated, ideological outrage. There is one solution to this problem that fixes both issues, and that is to continue to try to stop illegal immigration as much as possible. If there were no illegals, ICE wouldn't be in MN. If ICE weren't there, protestors wouldn't be getting impacted like this.

The other part of this broken record is how libs absolutely, beyond any evidence thrown at them REFUSE vehemently like their lives depended on it that the protestors are all perfect little angels who do no wrong. And, since libs like history so much about how America is systemically racist, then they also have to accept the reality that shows when people group up in masses to fight against something, "peaceful" is hardly the word that can be used. After 250 years of history, protests en masse are anything but peaceful in America.

It's what liberals do best. They got BLM to destroy businesses, many of them being black-owned businesses. They want to hurt MN's economy simply because they don't agree with what the Federal government is doing, even though a very large portion of the country does agree with them.

This is all they know. They legislate solely on emotions and can't legislate on reality and common sense, so they do things that don't make sense. If they would only swallow their own pills, like in LA when the right-wing media was saying how bad it was but liberals saying that the problem is very small and nowhere near as blown up as the media was making it out to be. Same thing in MN. The impact to actual Americans is so tiny but liberal media blows it up like it's the rapture and we are all going to disappear. Both sides always say this, that the other side is exaggerating. Yet, their side never does. Their side is always right. Their side never does anything wrong. Their side is perfect. Blah blah blah.

Yeah, and Biden promised to get rid of covid in his first year because liberals "can do a better job than Trump". They didn't.

If you aren't old enough yet to realize that campaign promises are superficial designed to keep you in lockstep with the party that has groomed you, then you shouldn't be posting anywhere online.

Liberals lost any clout they had in this fight when their hypocrisy causes them to refuse to support and empathize with those killed by illegals. Once liberals get a heart and stop thinking that pandering along ideological lines for votes, THEN they can enter the conversation. As it stands today, their protests are nothing more than succumbing to a sheep mentality by their party.

You can support illegals without holding illegal protests. You can ALSO support those killed, raped, etc. by illegals without claiming you are against illegals. Come to the table as adults and the country will back you 100%.

"Citing previous President's probably also illegal arresrts of foreign leaders to stop ethnic cleansing and/or mass murders doesn't make Trump's kidnapping of Maduro legal and when we boil it down legality is not the question; motive is. Preventing mass murder or ethnic cleansing are humanitarian moral necessities but invading to grab resources like oil is not just illegal it is also very immoral and cannot be defended except by noting economic benefits to American oil companies. That difference should be obvious except to the stupidest MAGAs who aren't capable of understanding the difference between a moral imperative and an economic opportunity."

This is why liberals are known as the group who can't see more than 2 feet in front of their faces.

What if the oil is being used by a dictator to fund mass murder and ethnic cleansing? Or being used to stay in power even when citizens voted you out so that he can spread more oppression? What about if the money is used to fund just one missile that ends up killing 100 people...is it moral to stop that or are you saying it's OK because it's moral? I guess to liberals the ends justify the means and only the means but we should ignore all of the means except the ones that agree with our opinion.

I'm not defending this situation at all but the short-sighted blinders are ridiculous. Go down the rabbit hole a little bit. Don't just stop at the dirt of the hole and say, "Hole bad!" Look at the dirt a little to see how dirty it really is. Go into the hole to uncover the moralities you so desperately want to base your opinions on. And be objective to them when you see them. I know that's asking a LOOOOOOOT from any partisan person but that doesn't mean it's not necessary.

I do find it very funny (also very sad) that how politicians feel are often so different than what the actual people feel.

But Dems can continue trying to make points based on how politicians feel all they want. That just allows for someone like Trump to get elected. Even in his first term when he was supposed to lose by a landslide...because liberals were too busy thinking that since most politicians felt one way then that means everyday citizens feel that way, too. Which is a very sad ideology because, when you take out any partisan impact at all, almost every single person accepts that governing by how politicians feel is a terrible way to govern.

I know that people on DR and liberals in general want the US to be controlled by China's trade, but these are still considered nonrenewable resources. China's supply isn't going to last forever and as the inventory gets lower, that means China will raise prices. So why do liberals want Americans to pay more for products instead of trying to get rid of dependence on Chinese imports?

And you can't say that you don't want this to happen. That's exactly what all of you have been fighting against during this Trump term. Please, just answer honestly and do not try to contextualize how you aren't fighting for China and not for the US. It's all out there in MANY liberal outlets, on TV interviews with liberal protestors, etc. It IS happening so don't just be more sheep and try to say otherwise. Just put down your honest answer as to why you want China to control all trade regarding raw materials. It's a simple question and I'm not fighting your opinion. I just want to know honestly why that is the liberal agenda. To me, it's just "The other side wants it one way so we have to inherently fight for the other way" that both parties do. But finding someone to actually admit that is impossible because, for some reason, party affiliation is more important than ethics and doing what's right.
