Taro T Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 3 minutes ago, Crap Throwing Clavin said: If they go with Buttigieg, it'll be a tacit admission of defeat in 2024, but done to take some perceived moral high ground with the "First gay VP candidate!" like they did in 1984 with Geraldine Ferraro. "We can't win, but we're going to prove we're better than everyone else!" And like Geraldine Ferraro, it'll be the apex of Buttigieg's political career. Wonder if his hubby will end up in jail for RE fraud like hers did. It's not easy being a pioneer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 3 minutes ago, Ann said: A VERY bad idea. Carving out one additional voting block with no skin in the (federal) game. EVERYONE that has an income should pay income tax (even if it's only 0.1% or 1%. And NO deductions/rebates should be refundable. They should be allowed to be carried forward for a period (like the 3 years that losses can be carried forward if there weren't enough gains to fully off-set them); but the tax COLLECTION department shouldn't be paying people. If they want to GIVE people money, let it come from a different department under a different program and let the merits be debated over that separate from taxation policy. When people actually SEE that THEY'RE paying for all the government programs (at least the ones that our grandkids aren't paying for), then they might not be as enamored with a lot of the stupid stuff the feds waste money on.

It's 100% up to the possible candidate because joining her ticket looks more like political suicide than anything. Funny that you mention suicide as Hillary Clinton's name keeps jumping up for someone to watch at the convention to move onto the ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've advocated for this and the removal of all other types of taxes (No more gas tax, for example). Show people how much of their income they are giving these &#%$ing shills while at the same time putting something in their statements that show what their family's share of the national debt is. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no world where Harris has a say in anything that is going on in her world right now, let alone making the VP pick. They may let her pick her salad dressing at lunch, but that's about it. While this is true I'm not going to give her something else to hide behind like the media has with the border czar crap. She is the one running for the top office in the nation so she had better be making her own decisions or at least take responsibility for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Democrats haven't owned a &#%$ing thing they've screwed up literally ever.

IDBillzFan Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 In other words, KJP is repulsed by the fact that Kamala Harris herself changed from being Indian to being black. This is not a surprise to anyone. Literally anyone paying attention knows this. But when you have no story to tell of your own, you tell one about identity politics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Is this really her birth certificate? ***** Kamala Harris is the daughter of Donald J Harris, who was born in Jamaica, and Shyamala Gopalan Harris from India. Kamala Harris’s four-times-paternal-great-grandfather is a guy named Hamilton Brown . He was born in Co Antrim in 1776, the same year of the US Declaration of Independence. Brown emigrated to Jamaica when it was a British colony, and once he arrived, he became an avid slave owner on the sugar plantations in Jamaica. Hamilton Brown opposed the abolition of slavery in the British Empire and promoted slavery and slave ownership till the day he died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that anyone objects to how she identifies herself. We're offended by the fundamental dishonesty of how her identify is fungible based on political expediency. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was afraid this loon was a stain on the good name of the people of Gen X. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
