See Ted... I can point out lies from the side I voted for...

This? This is a lie.


Working Americans will soon get ‘very large refunds’ of up to $2K per household: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent

k-per-household-coming-soon
/


I got pissed off just reading that. We're not even close to balancing the budget and we're going to give out another huge fucking freebie?

But no. That's not even what's happening. Stupid fucking headline to frame it that way and make people expect to see something they're never going to see. Nobody is talking about cutting any sort of "Tariff Rebate" checks. All they're talking about is some fucking with the tax code, which is going to see Americans all over the country seeing huge fluctuation in how this pays out for them. If you didn't work, you don't get anything. There is no credit. This is just going to be deductions, and very likely not even any new ones since the BBB was passed.

At the very "best", this will be another handout to people with kids, paid for by people without kids. Plain and simple.

At the very worst, it means nothing at all. What the fuck does "Working Americans will soon get ‘very large refunds’ of up to $2K per household" even mean? Really?

NEWS FLASH: WORKING AMERICANS ALREADY GET UP TO AND EVEN ABOVE $2K PER HOUSEHOLD REFUNDS EVERY YEAR.



All I can say is that Trump had better be right about the economy. Especially if the healthcare blows up like the idiot elites are predicting (They're almost always wrong, but sometimes they do get things right...)

We managed to stop the bleeding caused by Joe and Kamala, but nothing has gotten any better for anyone in the last year.

Buying our votes isn't going to work. Especially if people are shelling out $8,000 to $12,000 per year per person for health insurance, who weren't doing that the year prior. And this dickhead saying stuff like this to make people think you're going to buy their vote and make them expect a paycheck coming in the mail soon that will never be delivered on is political suicide.

Like I said in my Scott Bessent is an Asshole thread, Scott Bessent is an asshole.

See how easy that was, Ted?

I've never seen you do anything like that. Not one single time.

All you do is toe the line. When you agree with something you're shoving clickbait in everyone's face.

But all the things that the Democrats do that really fuck with you...?

You put them all in a box, seal it off and compartmentalize it somewhere in your head so it doesn't interfere with all of the stuff you want to believe is true.

And this is why nobody has ever taken you seriously.


.... and give it 5 or 10 more years and you're going to go around telling everyone you know that Democrat voters never get sick, never get divorced, never had any vices or do anything immoral like Second does every morning to justify all the awful stuff he says every day out of the other side of his stupid face. You want to end up like that crazy idiot? Because that's where you're headed.


You see admitting fault with the people you voted for as a weakness. That couldn't be further from the truth. It takes strength and courage to point out the flaws and speak up when the people you voted in are doing stupid and/or evil shit. Because if we don't start doing that, we're all going to be doomed to riding on this see-saw until we're dead (if we're lucky) or enslaved if we're still alive.

Fuck you, Newt.

Get your evil, cocksucking NeoCon ass out of politics. America hates you.




How about you leftwing lunatics just stop murdering people everyday and we won't need ancient fucks like Gingrich bringing back GWB 2.0 after Trump is gone, huh?

Tell me Ted... When was the last time ANY president had an approval rating that wasn't underwater for any significant amount of time after the first several months of a regime change?



I'll give you a hint: It wasn't a Democrat.

More than 50 US lawmakers are retiring next year. Why?

Good morning: During an absolute blizzard of other news on Friday afternoon, two Republican lawmakers—Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York and Sen. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming—announced they would not seek re-election next year.

That brings the total number of lawmakers who aren’t running for re-election to 52, according to Ballotpedia. The most in any election cycle since 2012 are the 54 who retired in 2018. This Congress is likely to surpass that total, perhaps by a huge margin (a lot of lawmakers will chat about their political futures over the holidays with family and, well, the tide seems to be going out, not coming in).

If Rham is pro trans, he'd better throw his aspirations for the Presidency right out the window because that ain't happening.
