Trump 47

[oks10]

I'm curious how MAGA would be reacting if you replaced everything "Elon Musk" with "George Soros"... I mean, we know exactly how that'd go but it'd be a good thought experiment for them. That'd require some self reflection though and not blind adoration or idolation of Trump, so that ain't happening.

Mandatory jail for Nazi salutes under new Australia laws

The new laws come amid a wave of high profile antisemitic attacks which have become a heated topic of debate.

Wasn’t sure where to put this story…so here it is…

Trump says Israel will hand Gaza to the US when the fighting ends

Israeli defence minister orders army to ready plan for displacement from Gaza despite Palestinian vow to ‘never leave’.

So, what other Mideast country other than Isreal agrees to doing that, including Iran? If none, I wonder if we could be looking at another oil boycott or desire to resume war over there to make sure it doesn't happen?

I think we need to worry more about fixing up the awful ruins of rural towns in economic decline, if that is possible, along with fire damage in California and hurricane damage in the South. After all, Trump has said to put "America First", but fixing up Gaza for wonderful beach side resorts is much more like putting Trump and his rich buddies first. With so much anti-American hostility in the Mideast it is strange that any American interest would want to risk building anything major there.

Circular argument. Those who are pissed now would be vigorously defending it. Pretty much why most political discussions are entertaining but useless.

I'm happy with all of this (estatic about the carried interest) except I think a larger cut instead of focused cuts on tips and overtime makes more sense. We are gonna incentivize working too much and everyone is gonna want tip income.

Damn, It's been 20 years since I've worked an hourly wage, but I'm down for going back with this.
