Trump 2024 Run Thread

[Stillwater Townie]

When it's not blackmail, bribery is the currency of politics:

After more than a year of denigrating Biden’s EV policies as “lunacy” and calling for electric car supporters to “ROT IN HELL,” Trump told a rally in Atlanta this month that he’s for “a very small slice” of cars being electric.

“I have to be, you know, because Elon endorsed me very strongly,” Trump said.

Trump says if he takes office, he'll fire special counsel Jack Smith 'within 2 seconds'

Donald Trump says that if wins the White House, he'll fire special counsel Jack Smith “within two seconds” of taking office.

Not surprised he would push to fire Jack Smith and end all the investigations into himself before doing anything else.

Those of us getting near retirement age are going to get totally f#((@ if this goes through. So, after paying income tax for all our lives, when we reach the time of much lower income tax we are going to get hit with extreme high prices of goods to cover the sleath tax called tariffs.

It won't because it's stupid and impossible. That being said, if the reasons why it is so stupid are blasted through the airwaves I wonder if it will change the minds of any older people who were going to vote for Trump no matter what before this.

Yeah income tax was a constitutional amendment right? I don’t know why they chose to do it that way back then but it’d take another one to change it. So like you said. Impossible nowadays.

who in their right mind would believe this and/or believe this is possible and/or believe it could work?! oh yeah, the same people who believed him when he said cats and dogs were being eaten and when he said the election was stolen and when he said COVID was not a big deal and when he said fema spent all the money on illegals and when he said schools were giving sex change operations and when he said raising tariffs will help and ....

However, income taxes are abolished what it is replaced with will only favor rich people. So, no wonder Trump is open minded toward doing that. If you are rich and think taxes are too high, just quit buying so much stuff. People of modest means can't do that as easily. They are not buying a bunch of luxuries in the first place.

How we wound up with the income tax | Constitution Center

Imagine a world with a federal income tax; if you were an American citizen before 1913, with a few exceptions you didn’t have to deal with an April deadline and the IRS.

constitutioncenter.org

Income tax was started because people were pissed that the tax burden was being paid by working class and the wealthy weren't carrying their load. Seems familiar.

Side note: even the brief periods of income tax in the late 1800s was targeted towards higher income.

This tarrifs only plan of his is a stupid idea that's going to shield billionaires from paying their share and dump that load on the working and lower class.

They also believed Mexico would pay for his glorious wall and that he'd improve our infrastructure because he's a builder of things.

Joe Rogan says Trump not welcome on his podcast: ‘I don’t want to help him’

https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2022/07/06/joe-rogan-trump-podcast-guest-spotify/

Well that didn't seem to last very long...

When is Donald Trump on Joe Rogan's podcast? What we know ahead of interview.

On Friday, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are making their own visits to Texas. Here is what we know about Trump's trip.

I don't see how Trump picks up more voters.

I can see Kamala gaining or losing (via either annoying her left until they sit at home, or entice some from her right to cross over). But he's been so well known for so long, you either like him and are ignoring the craziness or don't and wouldn't vote for him no matter what he says during an interview.

But I've been wrong many times so what do I know.

If Donald Trump returns to the White House, he is threatening to not just fire the special counsel Jack Smith, who brought two federal indictments against him, but also proposing to evict him from the country entirely.

But Smith would be a free man in another country. It would seem a vindictive and hate filled man as Trump is would have said he would see to it that Smith would spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Trump spent 3 hours on Joe Rogan's podcast. Here's what he did — and didn't — say NPR

*Trump, who left thousands of rally goers in Traverse City, Michigan waiting an extra three hours Friday night because of his extra time with Rogan

*“I like to give a long – the weave,” Trump said on “The Joe Rogan Experience.” “But when you do the weaves, and you have to be very smart to do weaves, when you do the weave, look at this, just in this one thing, we’re talking about little pieces..”
“Gotta get it back home,” Rogan interjects.
“No no, it comes back home for the right people,” Trump continued. “For the wrong people, it doesn't come back home and they end up in the wilderness, right?”

*Much like his rally speeches, Trump’s talk with Rogan touched on a wide range of subjects with little connection

*“I won by like -- I lost by like – I didn't lose, but they say I lost, Joe,” Trump said, repeating the lie that he won that election. He did not.

*“Your weave is getting wide,” Rogan exclaimed.

*He also said he really doesn’t “believe too much” in polls, before touting his latest numbers and baselessly claiming, again, there is widespread fraud in elections.

Dude is one of the leaders of independent media where people can actually say what's on their mind without getting rode by someone with a corporate agenda. Rogan's had some of the leftist of the left on his show and has had great conversations that even I enjoyed listening to. I'm sure Harris will get her shot...

Blogs like Rogan's are the only places you are going to get unfiltered, unedited, and unmanaged opinions of some of the most interesting people in this country, and it blows my people can't see that.

As I mentioned before, if you listen to his podcast you are going to be subjected to viewpoints that you don't agree with. Some people can't handle that.

Joe Rogan is friends with Alex Jones and has interviewed him before and I find that hard to accept. But l supposed it's like what you wrote, "Some people can't handle that."

It good that most Rogan's interviews can last up to over 3 hours, so more topics can be delved into but takes up a lot of listening time.
