  1. I'm sure Mike Pence, Mark Milly, Rudy, and the many others who were shat upon by the Orange Turd are comforted by your words.
  2. And these are what, specifically? Another half-arsed article.
  3. Any bets on when (not if) Twitler will end his bromance with Elon, complete with the usual denigrating commentary on both sides?
  4. You are correct here, I misspoke. Not an embryo, a fetus.
  5. There are no babies until birth. Up to the moment of birth, they are embryos. Basic science.
  6. This statement indicates a fundamental misunderstanding about vaccines.
  7. I learned that it's possible to have a peaceful transition of power without a failed attempt at insurrection.
  8. And, it appears he searched for them himself at the airport before reporting the incident to police. Suspicious.
  9. Maybe they are having lunch with the "It's all rigged" crowd. Haven't heard from them, either.
  10. Steve Madden, CEO of Madden Shoes, a 2.3 billion dollar company, announced that they will be moving operations out of China due to approaching new tariffs. Tariffs will either increase the cost to US citizens of goods coming out of China or force companies to relocate. This could be useful in moving factories to the USA, creating new jobs, and reinvigorating our economy. Unfortunately, he has announced that they will be relocating from China to either Lao, Thailand, Cambodia, or Vietnam, which will not help the USA in any way. Will this be the pattern in the near future? Companies aren't interested in MingAGA, they are only interested in profits.
  11. If asked, I just say that I'm from the States. If they ask more, I mention my home state of Alabama. I think some then just assume that I'm MAGA. I am not a fan of Trump. I've met 1 new person in the last 2 years. He is an ex-cop and a Trump fan. We get along great, with several common interests OUTSIDE of politics and a genuine curiosity about each other's habits and doings. He's a super nice guy and we just agreed to not debate politics. Same with one of my many brothers.
  12. In your case, it's apparently special education.
  13. "Narrowing" and "benefit(ing) fewer people" is backtracking. I stand by the original title. "Mr. Paulson, a potential nominee for Treasury secretary, said that several other of Mr. Trump’s proposed tax cuts — including not taxing tips or overtime, and restoring a deduction for state and local taxes — should also become narrower so they benefit fewer people and cost less money."
  14. Hence the walking back of his promises, i.e Repubs saying "We can't afford it". They could only afford the promise. So this retreat is only 3 days post-election. Watch this space to see what else their dear leader promised that won't happen.
  15. And Republicans are already saying they need to cutback on his promises. Some Republicans said the party would have to show some fiscal discipline. “We can’t just have it be unlimited, whatever we want to it to be,” Senator James Lankford, a Republican of Oklahoma and member of the Finance Committee, said of the cost of a tax bill next year. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/07/us/politics/trump-fiscal-republicans.html?unlocked_article_code=1.YU4.u8S5.kwMAMdOXZyzK&smid=url-share
  16. Thanks, ES. They don't want to read it. Facts violate their universe.
  17. Continue in your blissful ignorance and keep deflecting. What does Pravda have to do with NYT?
  18. All of you should read the actual article. The NYT gives non-subscribers 10 free reads/month.
  19. See you still haven't read the article. They quote Republicans. Are you claiming these Republicans didn't say what you didn't read? 🙂
  20. I originally posted much more, but that violates Forum rules, so only included relevant bits. The extended headline is Advisers to President-elect Donald J. Trump and Republicans on Capitol Hill are already looking at ways to scale back some of his more expensive ideas.
  21. You'd have to read the article. I just posted some allowed highlights. Behind a paywall, so you may not be able to read the full article.
  22. It also doesn't say Daffy Duck is walking back his promises. What's your point?
