This past weekend Bessent went on TV to tell Americans to lower their withholding taken out of their wages and if they do that, it is a "pay raise". I am sure there will be people that listen to that nonsense.

I once had a 1040 client who made $180,000 and only had $175 in federal taxes withheld. When his inevitable tax bill arrived for 4/15 and he had spent all of his paychecks on building himself a race car he wanted to know if he could sue his employer for not withholding enough.

I spent Memorial Day reading about US Marines in the Pacific

Dad served in the pacific in the Army.

He mostly talked about the fun things they did, playing baseball with the USO, stealing liquor out of the bags of officers they were unloading, catching monkeys to sell to the sailors, etc. But every once in a while he would get quiet and the stories that would come were horrendous.

Mom said he walked the floor of the house every night in a nightmare, not quite asleep and not quite awake. She knew better than to wake him, he would talk as if he were constantly under attack. He'd return to bed and awake in morning, get dressed and go to work like nothing happened. She didn't know him before the war so she had no reference but his mom said he changed. How could he not?

In the end he was one of the most patient, forgiving and loving man I ever knew. He never raised his voice in anger because as he said "I've seen enough anger to last ten lifetimes".

Without a doubt.

This is trump's M.O. for his entire life.

Talk himself up as a genius, enter into something he has no understanding on, make some strategic decisions that make it entirely worse, look for people to blame, then walk away leaving others to clean up the mess and then take a victory lap.

Who knew having a war mongering --- nooz couch potato drunkard as secretary of war would be such a disaster?

Everyone who was not kissing his ass.

What a joke this nation has become.

#10 That's it. End of story. The brain cells die from lack of oxygen and whatever memories or thoughts are stored are gone forever.

Poof.

No one beats him at his game
For very long, but just the same
Who cares there's no place safe to hide?
Nowhere to run, no time to cry
So celebrate while you still can
'Cause any second, it may end
And when it's all been said and done
Better that you had some fun
Instead of hiding in your shell
Why make your life a living hell?
So drink a toast and down the cup
And drink to bones that turn to dust, 'cause
No one, no one, no one, no one
No one, no one, no one, no one
No one, no one, no one, no one
No one lives forever!

Iran is now retaliating by hitting a tanker.

Maybe America should listen to scientists instead of roid jacked failed comedians for a change.

Trump Not So Much

He's already a decomposing brain dead rotting infection on the US.

Didn't fatso say the peace deal was 95% done?

"Only I can end the Ukraine was on day one!"

Whenever some idiot says we cannot afford medicare for all or raises for teachers just remind the colossal waste of money the department of surrender is.

Pedo 47 was unconscious at the memorial day events.

"90% completed. Maybe even 95%. Just have to work out opening the straight, payment for damages and the nuclear program. But other than that 99% done."

Leaked? Stolen?

No.

Monetized for their wallets.

Suckers.

#4 Israel is scared -------- of losing the unending stream of money from the US to fund their terrorism while simultaneously giving all their citizens free health care including abortions.

Last thing any of these decomposing global terrorists (netanyahu, trump or putin) care about is the future of the environment.

They have to give him a fresh infusion of blood from children murdered in Gaza.

#5 It is infuriating that the world has to be held hostage by those decaying terrorists.

Racists gonna racist.

#5 Spot on... just like the Epstein files bill. The trump junta has been in violation of that law for six months now.

The United States of Israel will not abide by anybody looking into Donald Trump's pedophilic endeavors.
Because that way they can blackmail him for the rest of his life.

Exactly.

That's why I laughed with Sporkfoot and Massie threatened to read the names on the floor of the house. I knew they'd never do it.

The same with all the people online who are asking Iran/Israel/Saudi Arabia/Russia to release the files..it will never happen because once the names are out there, the threat of releasing them is gone.

Where is the cheating?

In his imagination. He fell hook, line and sinker for Chinese bamboo ballots in 2020 lies.

"reason" for the felon Administration to attack and invad Cuba is made.

Yep.

This was all scripted out in Project 2025.

His violation of the emoluments clause.

Not a drag queen.

Tennessee taxpayers to foot the bill for the fascist sheriff.
