  1. Taylor Swift helps people in need and triggers the usual suspects to. It’s known as a win win.
  2. There is no prohibition stating how much American expats are ‘allowed’ to earn. Your poor expat earning $150,000 already has a $120,000 tax free allowance, so might have to pay tax on 1/5th of their income, assuming they do not take advantage of numerous other avail tax reductions, such as health savings plans etc.
  3. That’s a rather twisted interpretation of my comments. My argument is precisely that this suggested tax giveaway is targeted in favor of the hyper wealthy. The vast majority of Americans expats already have a generous zero tax bracket. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion#:~:text=However%2C you may qualify to,deduct certain foreign housing amounts.
  4. No, I mean he might be doing it to help out the already hyper wealthy.
  5. It’s always somebody else’s fault and of course, hope springs eternal. As I have said many times, Trump would have been better focusing on Prison reform.
  6. It’s a very odd election promise to be making in the last month of the campaign. It doesn’t bring in any votes from the expat voters who have already submitted their vote and it’s too late, in many states, to encourage expat citizens who have not already applied for their absentee ballot. What’s even odder is, postal voting has been the subject of long standing attacks from Trump and not a means of voting favored by his citizen supporters. Moreover, expat U.S. Citizens already enjoy a generous fixed amount tax allowance and there is lies a clue to why Trump might think this a good idea. A zero tax rate for expatriate Americans would be a huge gift to those hyper wealthy Americans living overseas.
  7. Increasing the debt to invest in infrastructure (Capital expenditure) makes sound economic sense. Increasing the debt to cut taxes does not.
  8. Perhaps you should admit your error and acknowledge there was not peace in the region under Trump. Just admit you were wrong, it won’t hurt.
  9. Again, forgive me for pointing out your blatantly false statement.
  10. As we know there was a war in Syria during Trump’s time in office. So no there wasn’t peace in the region under Trump. Forgive me for pointing out your blatantly false statement.
  11. Coordinated rioting, looting and arson presenting threat to public order in communities across the UK? Thought not.
  12. You’re not following the need then? https://news.sky.com/story/met-police-arrest-17-protesters-during-demonstrations-over-middle-east-conflict-13228452
  13. Lists names are not evidence of the Biden Administration’s policies, negotiations and efforts to have the people on the lists returned to the U.S. What you need to produce is confirmed statements or documents to back the assertion you made. Here are some examples of links confirming the Biden Administration’s commitment and achievements wrt negotiating the release of Americans, and others, held in Russia: “Today, we celebrate the return of Paul, Evan, Alsu, and Vladimir and rejoice with their families. We remember all those still wrongfully detained or held hostage around the world. And reaffirm our pledge to their families: We see you. We are with you. And we will never stop working to bring your loved ones home where they belong.” https://www.state.gov/release-of-wrongfully-detained-americans-and-russian-political-prisoners/#:~:text=Through the extraordinary efforts of,others held prisoner inside Russia. https://ru.usembassy.gov/statement-by-president-joe-biden-on-securing-the-release-of-americans-detained-in-russia/
  14. Clearly not. Starmer put a swift stop to your far right racist chums rioting, looting and committing arson on British streets. That you should over look that fact is odd given its been one of your cherished grievances ever since.
  15. Not overlooked Jonny. As explained in the links I provided, Russia was very much more responsive to the release of Griner. You have provided zero evidence that the Biden Administration gave her case any more attention than that of any other Americans held in Russia. You assert it, you link your assertions to her race, gender, sexual orientation and any other characteristics that trigger you, but you provide zero evidence to back up your claim of bias or special treatment by the Biden Administration. Your baseless claims might serve your need for grievance but they are nevertheless baseless.
  16. Thanks for the link, you perhaps should have read it. Here’s the reference to how the Supreme Court has interpreted the Constitution on the matter (which is the basis of Harris’ response): “The U.S. Constitution requires that the government provide needed medical care for prisoners, according to a 1976 Supreme Court ruling. Transgender inmates in federal and state prisons have argued in court that this includes providing medically necessary gender-affirming care. “ And here is how Trump’s campaign deliberately misrepresent Harris’ remarks in the matter: Trump campaign advertisement. “Kamala’s for they/them. President Trump is for you.” The ad stitches together two different sections of a 2019 interview to show Harris saying: “Surgery for prisoners … every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access.”
  17. Been chewing the talking points manual again today?
  18. If the claim is factual there will be no problem proving a link. Your obvious ire over the request for a link suggests you, like me, know the claim made is baseless.
  19. Yep, a long history of interfering in the internal affairs of Iran.
