  1. She's not a salad woman and the alternative is an insane Putin loving fascist dotard.
  2. Well I'd be skeptical about either side actually doing it and I'm not so sure it's a great idea either. Lower income people are already shielded from taxes and if a waiter makes 100k annually why should he get a break that other 100k earners don't? Yes I have met waiters who have villas in Tuscany.
  3. No idea what your game is but she is a born female human being. Period. End of story.
  4. That's ridiculous! Youtube is a platform that has basically EVERYTHING from crackpots in a basement to credible mainstream media.
  5. Not tittok. There are tons of excellent new sites and political commentary on the youtube platform. Also lots of garbage. You join with Putin in attacking it.
  6. Honestly I think it's electioneering BS from both of them.
  7. I reject your premise. It's a binary choice for president. Democrat vs. Republican vs. Throw your vote away third parties.
  8. A source was fairly requested in a flame post for my point that no taxes on tips could be used by high income people having nothing to do with waiters and such. It wasn't my idea. I got that point from a youtube video that I can't easily find now, but I'll include this: Harris, Trump see votes in not taxing tips. Experts see trouble. - POLITICO Being aware of this issue I was surprised that Harris mentioned it in Nevada without at least mentioning that her intention was at least to make sure there weren't loopholes for the finance industry to contrast to Trump who never met a billionaire's tax cut that he didn't love. Sure it makes sense politically for both of them to get votes in Nevada.
  9. Kamala is avoiding getting in the weeds now and for good reasons. This is a historically weird LAST MINUTE campaign. A normal campaign would have been going on for several months. She's in a rush for everything. Don't expect much in the way of details before the convention where there will be a democratic party platform and going on from that. As to the tips issue I have a clue about what's going on. Trump mentioned it first. It's true. But when Kamala mentioned she specified for SERVICE WORKERS. Why does this matter? First of all a huge percentage of service workers are low income even with taxable tips meaning they end up paying little or no tax anyway under a certain threshold. Secondly, there is a way that "tips" could be applied to very high income people such as hedge fund managers. It fits the Trump pattern to cut taxes mostly for the very wealthy. I predict we'll be hearing more about that key detail. Also even if Trump's idea is only about service workers. does he have a copyright on the idea of not taxing tips? What kind of politics is it if you are required to always 100 percent oppose the policies of the opposition?
  10. Khelif is a very brave WOMAN on and off the boxing ring. She's an inspiration to all people in the world who have been harassed and bullied by ignorant bigots.
  11. We live in interesting times.
  12. Not everyone but the turnaround actually happened. It's very real.
  13. Some Russians may have. You really think people are stupid, huh?
  14. Expanding on this. If you like being LGBTQ in Putin's Russia, you'll love being LGBTQ in Trump/Vance's USA. New LGBTQ+ campaign explains dangers of Trump’s Project 2025 (advocate.com)
  15. Yep. Major mistake. Trump is insane so par for the course.
  16. Whatever works!
  17. Not Trump. I could list 100 other reason but all you need is that.
  18. Yeah he's closely associated with Project 25. As he was also the most anti Ukraine senator he may as well change his name to Vladimir
  19. Vance is a creepy weirdo. He identified as gay in his youth now he's an anti LGBTQ and anti childless couple fascist. Aside from that he has almost no qualifications to be president and as dotard Trump is clearly rotting before our eyes if elected he probably will be.
  20. Fancy dress parties are not an American thing.
  21. American Jews are Americans. Israeli Jews are Israelis. Very different. I do realize fascist Trump is trying to demagogue this issue with persistent antisemitic tropes.
  22. Not sure why you posted that but as usual American Jews will vote overwhelmingly democratic especially this year where the opposition is maga fascist. Walz does indeed come across as a mensch. You don't need to be a Jew to be a mensch. Coincidentally I have a close relative who used to be a Minnesota rabbi. I wonder if she knows Walz.
  23. The Algerian gold medalist IS female. All those who trashed and bulled her should apologize for their hateful ignorance.
