"Grok didn't even know the corporate tax cuts have been made permanent.
#30 | Posted by Danforth"

First, this is not true as all of them have not been made permanent but it is true that most of them have. Second, Grok does know this

Grok prompt: when do the corporate provision of the trump tax cuts expire

Grok answer: The corporate provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), signed into law in 2017, were made permanent and do not have an expiration date. Unlike the individual tax provisions, which are set to expire at the end of 2025, the corporate tax changes"such as the reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and the shift to a territorial tax system for foreign profits"were implemented without a sunset clause. However, some temporary business-related provisions, like the 100% bonus depreciation for capital investments, began phasing out in 2023 and will be fully phased out by 2027 unless extended by Congress.

So, again - you are lying about what Grok does or does not know while also exposing your don't understand the corporate side of the equation any better than you do the individual side. Are you sure you want to stick with the story that you are a tax preparer?

But again, as you claim it repeatedly - link to the individual provisions that have expired.

"Grok didn't know the corporate tax cuts had been made permanent"

That is a lie - Grok fully understands that.

"nor that most of the personal tax cuts (such as they weren't) have expired"

Grok will tell you that these provisions expire on Dec 31, 2025 - as of today, it is May 14, 2025. Thus, they have not yet expired. In fact - I do not know of a SINGLE provision related to individuals that has expired already much less 'most' as you are now claiming.

But again - you can solve this by simply linking to an article that backs up your point. Should be easy for you unless you are lying.

"Grok also didn't take into account your ignorance regarding the difference between DIRECT holding of US debt, and INDIRECT holding, like through mutual funds or corporate investing.

I already spiked the football on that argument and you are 100% wrong as even snoofy called you a liar.

You claim to be a tax preparer - if you think most of the Trump tax provisions have already expired, you have provided incompetent service to your clients as that thought is 100% incorrect.

But again - I give you the benefit of the doubt - link to the individual provisions that have expired.

"" which individual parts have already expired"
Read the code; do your own homework."

I have read it - I also used Grok and it replied that you are a lying piece of ----. So, at this point - the burden of proof is on you. Link you or admit that you lied -------.

"Pro tip: more important, what has been EXTENDED?
#24 | Posted by Danforth"

In our debate I specifically stated that provisions on individuals will expire Dec 31, 2025. You said that some have already started to expire. So, link to those that have already expired. You claim to be a tax preparer so this should be easy for you - except if you are lying about being a tax preparer as well.

#22 | Posted by Danforth"

You replied to the message but did not provide what was requested to help you save your dignity:

You claimed that parts of the Trump tax cuts related to individuals and not corporations have started to expire. What exact parts are those? Link to them -------.

"" let's have you back up your claims."
I did.
#19 | Posted by Danforth"

No - you didn't and even snoofy called you a liar. I have already spike the football on this.

So, let's move on to another one to see if you can reclaim some dignity:

You claimed that parts of the Trump tax cuts related to individuals and not corporations have started to expire. What exact parts are those? Link to them -------. I realize that you said you are out camping on Brokeback Mountain, but it appears you have a signal so post the link back up your claims to which individual parts have already expired.

"I've provided the link on multiple occasions.
#15 | Posted by Danforth"

LOL - you did not and even a ------- loyalist like snoofy called you a liar.

But, moving on from the lie about the .1% getting 50% of the Trump tax cuts, you stated that parts of the Trump tax cuts related to individuals and not corporations have started to expire. What exact parts are those? Given that you claim to be a tax preparer - this should be something easy for you to provides unless:

1.) you lied about those parts expiring
2.) you lied about being a tax preparer

So, I have already spiked the football on busting your lie on the .1% getting 50% of the Trump tax cuts - let's see if you can reclaim some dignity by providing a link to the provisions on individuals that have already expired. I am not a tax expert - so, these may exist. You claim to be an expert in the field - so, let's have you back up your claims.

"No to both.
#13 | Posted by Danforth"

Even Snoofy called you a liar on your ".1% received over 50% of the Trump tax cut" --------. In your latest attempt to explain it - you said how the Trump tax cut individual provisions have already expired. So, still waiting on that list of individual provisions that have expired. I suspect I will receive that from you when you provide a link backing up your initial ridiculous claim - which is NEVER.

The best "Team ------- libs" can trot out is Sycophant and I have REPEATEDLY debunked him and on this and every other thread he attempted to debate on. It is funny - you -------s used to trot out Danforth but after I exposed him on his ridiculous tax cut claims, he is now quieter than a church mouse.

"Yes, buddy, it rose .4% overall instead of substantially higher due to insurance cost increases. That helped drag down the CPI from where it should be."

I already caught your lying about seeing this data a few week ago - YOU DID NOT. This data was just released and I have yet to see you admit your mistake.

Second, you claimed that shelter costs decreased - in fact, THEY DID NOT as I provided above.

Third, you do not seem to understand the definition of core inflation.

Fourth - as to you newest nonsense ".4% overall instead of substantially higher due to insurance cost increases" - I don't even know what you are trying to argue. I believe that home insurance rates rose at ~.6% in April (in line with auto insurance also at .6%) - as this number is higher .4%, it is MATHEMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for this number to lower the overall .4% increase number.

"Now would you like to explain how a .2% core increase actually means prices are lower?
#9 | Posted by Sycophant"

As wages outpaced inflation at an annualized rate of 1.7%, relative to earnings, prices have decreased.

I am just about done with you as I accurately stated previously: NOTHING YOU SAY IS TRUE

You lied about the inflation report - continually. You lied previously on the murder rate thread. I have yet to see something you claimed that is actually true when you are trying (and failing) to debate with me.

"#46 | Posted by Sycophant"

I also point out that you linked to a conclusion based on the FBI PRELIMINARY REPORT which only included 77% reporting. Link to the FINAL report for Q1'2024 -------. Of course - YOU CAN'T because the FBI will not release the full numbers for 2024 by quarter for a few more months after their internal audit of the data. What we DO have is the 2024 full year data (-14% decline) AND the data specifically for the 80ish cities released and can be compared for the same time in 2024 AS I DID.

So again, I ask - are you just purely stupid or intentionally lying?

"#46 | Posted by Sycophant"

The apples to apples is comparing the same 80ish metro areas referenced in the article for Q1'2025 with the same 80ish metro areas in Q1'2024 report - anything short of that is a meaningless comparison -------.

You got caught lying - that is not up for debate. The only question is why you did? Are you just stupid or intentionally lying?

""Housing prices actually increased by .3%"
That's Shelter all together. Not housing prices which dropped and dragged down the Owners Equivalent for Shelter. Was already posted last week.
#5 | Posted by Sycophant"

Again, the numbers were just released a few hours ago -------. As to shelter:

"The shelter index increased 0.3 percent over the month.
The index for owners' equivalent rent rose 0.4 percent in April and the index for rent increased 0.3 percent.
The lodging away from home index fell 0.1 percent in April."

Again - literally NOTHING YOU SAY IS TRUE.

"#43 | Posted by LegallyYourDead"

I don't know - are there mirrors in your head? Because that is where I live rent free apparently.

"This story already ran and was debunked."

The feds just released the numbers literally hours ago -------. Lie more.

"Oil and Housing prices dropped and dragged down the Core Basis while everything else went up a lot. Hell, it's in YOUR story."

Housing prices actually increased by .3% as did energy prices as natural gas and electricity increases offset dropping oil prices. Again - where do you get your nonsense? Second, energy is explicitly EXCLUDED from core inflation so even your nonsense lies don't match how Core Inflation is even measured.

"Promises made / Promises kept."
His promise was to lower prices. He didn't.
#1 | Posted by Sycophant"

Grocery prices as in 'in home food' fell by .4% led by eggs dropping over 12%. Literally nothing you say is true.

"#2 | Posted by Sycophant"

Your comment here is extra ironic after I caught you posting fake number on the decreasing homicide rate thread. Yeah, I know you just made an honest mistake due to sheer stupidity and did not mean to lie.

They also said that the economy grew over 5% yet their tax collections decreased 3% - if you believe any statistic out of China, you most certainly are a liberal.

But ------- liberals claimed China would never return US phone calls - wrong again per usual.

This is what winning the trade war looks like. De minimis tariffs of 54% plus $100 flat fee basically is a meaningless concession as even with the reduced tariffs - those imports still drop to zero. In exchange, China is importing Boeing again and we get their rare earths. Total capitulation from China.

"China has been busily dealing with the present situation by developing other trading markets and investing diplomatic efforts to (what embarrassingly ignorant individual refer to as "-------- nations").

LOL, SE Asia and Europe were already putting in place anti-dumping laws. On top of this, Chinese manufacturers choose to burn European luxury brands by exposing only the logos are applied in France/Italy - everything is actually made in China.

Lastly, Chinese manufacturers shuttered their factories BECAUSE THERE IS NO REAL DEMAND OUTSIDE OF THE USA.

"#176 | Posted by Danforth"

It is hyperbole. Like when I say you bragged about giving 2000 guys --------. I know that did not happen. You maybe blew 10-20 tops. But, it is just funnier to reference the 2000 number.

"All projects they started planning 9-15 months ago."

No ----. I said as much many, many times. Capital intensive projects take years to come online. Which is why these projects were planned and approved as a response to the first Trump administration trade war. The huge positive impacts for the current one will come in another 2-3 years. If Biden had decided to roll back the Trump tariffs - these factories and jobs would have gone overseas.

#174 | Posted by Sycophant"

I have an advanced degree and will never work a factory job. My parents did and were able to raise a family in a middle class lifestyle as a result. With K-12 education broken, we need jobs for the unskilled members of society to take rather than sitting home on welfare. For every single manufacturing job, they bring about 2.5 additional support jobs - most with much higher pay. So, continue to scoff at people that work in manufacturing - just don't come complaining about how you ------- liberals can't find jobs and need the government to pay your student loans. Your allegiance to the Globo-Homo agenda is well documented.

"John R. Lott Jr as a valid source.
#34 | Posted by LampLighter"

He is the only one that did a valid study that actually ascertained the immigration status. If you cited this study, it would have given you credibility. Instead, you cited NPR with the 3 worthless studies as I have already detailed.

So again - never use that NPR link or those studies to make claims about illegal immigrant crime rates as they have now been thoroughly debunked. Repeating them after today is not just a mistake - it is knowingly lying.
