Unfortunately the GOP actions are pretty damn similar. They are are pretty cavalier with our money. Hard to tell the two parties apart sometimes.

And every Republican running for office needs to bring up that speech with “is this the leaderships we want and need in DC?”

Yay! 🙄 Like I said I don’t give a flip. Now for the apology to the student banned for what it seems was no apparent reason. Guilty until proven innocent rears its ugly head again.

Of course it won't get the attention of the media and frankly I don't give a flip. However kudos to BYU for doing the extensive research into the incident and offering up the results of their investigation.

Seriously? It's quite simple. They are not Trump!!

Please explain 1. What are your "MAGA Friends" saying/doing that gives you the impression they don't give a ***** about our Republic, the Constitution or the will of the majority of voters? And.... 2. Why did this deserve it's own thread?

Thanks. Back In The Day did the math and educated me. Some day you may be able to do the same but I highly doubt it. Maybe @Backintheday544 can do your homework and explain what makes MAGA supporters fascists and the biggest threat to our democracy.

I’m not talking about total tax receipts. I’m talking individual tax payers. Lower income folks who rent who had no big mortgage deduction now were able to double their deduction. This IS who Billy Boy is concerned about no? How many of the people that make up your disparity were people that lost out on their big mortgage interest and came out behind? I assume quite a lot.

Good idea.

I usually don’t watch the games. The game day thread is soooo much more entertaining. LOL

Even with the elimination of the personal exemption lower income individuals and families came out ahead. So no it’s not a hoax.

Ok it's time to play grownup. What makes it a hoax?

I have a smart thermostat. I think it's safe to say most don't. So the government is going to tell me when I can and cannot charge the vehicle they forced me to buy. Yay Liberty.

Jesus Christ. You have never had an original thought in your life have you. Explain why this is a Hoax.

Wow. My condolences to you and your family. Sorry if you don't understand why it's such a big deal.

Not to mention "poor people" got the biggest tax benefit by the doubling of the standard deduction.

Yup our power has NEVER gone out here. Let me ask you. How are people supposed to precool their homes before 4pm when most people work until 5?

Ok let's go to the scoreboard. 1. Red hats are a threat to our democracy. Check 2. Middle fingers are a threat to our democracy. Check check. I now see where you guys are coming from. This is some scary *****.

If I were you I'd go with the best of the two Bills. The one that makes you laugh not cry and stress.

Just an FYI. All media have an off switch.

No what he's doing is pegging most MAGA supporters to those that took part in the insurrection. That's like saying all No More Malarkey Democrats are Antifa or BLM Democrats.

Nope. What is means to me is inconsequential. You guys are the ones calling it a threat to our democracy but are having a very difficult time explaining why. That says an awful lot.

So divisiveness is a good thing to you? Well that's just sad Now again. What makes MAGA a threat to democracy? Other than the red hats of course.

A cult who puts Trump ahead of country? What does that even mean? So if people wear red hats and defend Trump with whataboutisms that constitutes a threat to democracy?? Did you really just say that? Holy crap dude. That's ***** hilarious.

Property taxes are a base of 1% of the assessed value plus nickels and dimes of local taxes bringing the total to about 1.5% depending on where you live. They increase by 2% annually. I've lived here for 40 years and have owned 4 homes and have never had my home reassessed. So if you're home has a tax base of $300k your taxes are about $4,500 per year. The 2% increase amounts to a $90 increase. Not the increase is compounded but you get my point. I've heard of very few people being forced out of their homes due to property tax increases. That was the whole point of Prop 13.
