Trump Hints at Potential Prosecution of Political Opponents if Re-Elected
Does calling the Hunter laptop Russian disinformation not qualify as election interference?

No, the tunnels are built by Palestinians trying to escape, but they keep going the wrong way and ending up in Israel.

I would not spend more unless my net spend was less. If my net spend is more, I would not. And I assume the depreciation schedule figures in as well.

I know what point you were trying to make.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
Saw "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" today Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) - IMDb and while it had moments, it was pretty ridiculous the whole way through. It's like a bunch of kids with unlimited funding wrote it, and they kept coming up with new ever lamer ideas of what to throw in. That said, it was watchable. 5/10

Not really enough information available in your example to make a sound decision on what to buy.

I think the jury system is great, and it worked perfectly in Trump's case.

I said all along Trump the charges were BS and that Trump would be convicted.

They typically do not use their own money. Most of the projects I see sell out.

You have $5,000 a month in the USA
So, you could be 60, yes? But you later said you were over 60, which I assume means 61 or over, not 60 and a day. To some people it might be, and I said 3,000 and 4,000, I lot of people might say 4,000 is almost 5,000 when there were talking about their income. Then quit complaining that I am responding to you. Right. So, you only pay about 12-17% in income taxes to make up the 20-25% net, correct? You have almost 8% in payroll taxes, yes? It went up about $10 this year, but as a high-earner with a large savings, is it really that big a deal?

You have $5,000 a month in the USA
I was going by what you said originally, which could mean you were not over 60. It could also mean 3,000 or 4,000, so I am not sure what your point is. I don't care what your net pay is, you're making a big deal out of it, not me. No. Almost half of taxpayers in the US pay no federal income taxes, and a lot of people pay significantly more than 20-25%, particularly with few deductions and in a state like California with a what, 13% state income tax? It's right at $175 now, and what I said was, something over $175, yes?

I think it would be much more competitive were the 1/3 thing true.

I've always had two-piece, but the next ones I buy will be one piece. Whatever you get, make sure you can buy good replacement seats for it. Good luck finding anything with a big tank, those days are over.

You did not say your income was $5K after taxes, you said it was almost that. No No, please explain it. And in many cases, it's 0% less, and in many others it's 50% less, are you sure you understand what net pay means? Yeah, you have to pay for part B, but as a high-income individual that $175 a month is likely not that significant. I'm low income and I don't really miss it. What you actually said was: "The only real concern I have is the cost of health insurance for my age group(60 and older. I checked and without the subsidey my monthly premium would range between $600 to over $1,000. Everything is doable and manageable." So that would imply you were 60 or over. You claim you are over 60, and I have no reason to think you would not be truthful, so once you hit 65, you can get Medicare A and B, and it will cost you something over $175 a month, yes?
