Yup, I knew a guy that got the SWASM for being a watch officer in Florida.

Straight from The Art of the Deal. Always stay on top.

Harris stole Trump’s No Tax on Tips, trying to take credit for the idea and nullify Trump's campaign promise.

Trump just upped the stakes by promising to remove taxes from social security checks.

No we watch and see if Harris takes the bait.

I think I made it pretty clear that I really don't care about their leanings. Especially if it is an opinion piece.

Yes but that’s not my point.

My point is that one should also see the leaning from the folks who write those articles/reports and take that into consideration too, like what people (should) do with news and any info. Some will be right, some will be left, some will be centre. So, they’ll say things to further their side, because those are the folks paying them.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Absolutely.

But - in general for folks on social media and elsewhere ending with “just my opinion” to stop criticism - just because everyone is entitled to their opinion doesn’t mean that they aren’t immune to criticism of their opinion.

I saw what you did there.

I've never shied away from defending my position/opinion. Perhaps I should just say, I've tired of going in circles, getting dragged into the weeds over minutiae that doesn't apply to the point/ doesn’t matter. Or any other multitude of stuff, when I've got nothing left to say. Some people on ignore get more attention than I'm willing to continue with. Their opinion may differ, but at that point I see no sense in continuing because I no longer care to discuss that topic. I'm not bound by convention to participate just because other want to continue beating the bush.

These are all terrible economic/fiscal policy ideas, and there will be more.

Tariffs are taxes on your own people, but the Biden administration has essentially taken up a position not much different from Trump's, so Americans are screwed on that one.

Neither candidate appears willing to tackle social security funding sustainability.

If "tips" are tax-advantaged, watch how fast a whole bunch of people move to "tips"-based income. Even if someone were foolish enough to pass such a bill, they'd have to undo it pretty quickly.

Neither candidate is showing any sensibility on closing the deficit, which certainly can't be done by exempting kinds of income from taxation.

Harris has filed another claim on "really big stupid" by proposing price controls on some kinds of groceries.

Trumpworld scrambling after ex-president’s angry texts to megadonor

Those close to the former president privately told reporters he has acted out of anger recently

Things getting a little tense it would seem.

Just because the bullet missed him doesn't mean it didn't scramble his eggs as it supersonically zipped past.

Trump says he is 'entitled' to personally attack Kamala Harris as his allies beg him to focus on her policies

Donald Trump's defense came during a meandering news conference that appeared to be set to focus primarily on the economy

www.businessinsider.com

Standing by for “she called me weird” memes in 3…2…1…. What a time to be alive.

Also, it’s mindblowing that his staff has to try to get him to actually focus on policy (like, you know, a normal political campaign) rather than getting fixated on sayings more appropriate to a primary school recess.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Woops. She forgot to use her inside voice.

When your opponent calls you ‘communist,’ maybe don’t propose price controls?​

[Maxman1]

Shades of Pierre Trudeau mocking the idea of wage and price controls in a debate with Robert Stanfield ("Zap! You're frozen!"), then implementing wage and price controls after he's reelected.

Does JD Vance have a foot-in-mouth addiction or something? I’m not a woman but I’m pretty sure that abortion was kind of a big deal around 2022 when Roe v Wade was repealed.

JD Vance Suggests Caring About Abortion Rights Isn’t ‘Normal’

Speaking to Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Vance suggested women have more important things on their mind.

I actually had to check to see that he said this. He did.

I’m starting to wonder if Trump isn’t actually secretly working for Harris at this point.

Trump Warns That if Kamala Harris Wins, 'Everybody Gets Health Care'

Donald Trump repeatedly lied about single-payer health care — an idea he and Harris both previously supported but no longer do.

I’m starting to think he’s a Never Trumper plant. He was vehemently anti trump a few years ago, his wife was a democrat. Someone else with pull convinces Trump that this guy is the guy. But his job is to sink the campaign…

Tin foil and all lol.

This isn’t exactly about the election but it does speak to Walz as a teacher. The article is from 2008.

He continues to disparage the sacrifice of veterans.

". . . she introduced Biden after her word salad preamble . . ."

As opposed to the erudite elocutionist the other side is offering.

(Not to be confused with a cunning linguist).

A problem with comparing people to Trump is that it sets a really low bar.

I wish I'd had a teacher like that ...

Don’t tell the MAGAs that!
