This is obvious parody/sarcasm coming from just about anyone else, but considering your recent track record I can only assume you're actually serious here... so I'll just say that every time I think you reached peak cookery, you somehow find another gear. Its actually kinda impressiveJust know, he's doing this for your sake as well. He's doing this for everyone, even those who believe they hate him.
A favourite of Thiel and the tech bros I see... explains the Elon endorsement. I see JD was also classmates with Vivek at Yale. A true chad brigade on their way to the Whitehouse... positive days indeed.JD Vance - bought and paid for by billionaires. No surprises.
How Thiel and Silicon Valley funded J.D. Vance’s sudden rise
Donald Trump’s VP pick was a venture capitalist bankrolled in business and politics by billionaire investors. His ties to PayPal’s co-founder go way back.www.afr.com
Hope they have room for the 8 other CFIUS members who approved the deal. No doubt the evidence of Hills leaning on all of them to ram it through is all in order

Geez, the "do your own research" crew sure ain't what they used to be.
Nope, not at all. Biden also needs to watch out for sniper’s. There’s a fair chance that he will be taken out and they’ll blame it on Trump supporters.
Crowdstrike 'system update' hits a glitch.
Gotta be a cyber attack.
They’ll blame MAGA supporters. Don’t ban me like you do on SRP with people you disagree with but if he steps aside like Kurve said (I agree), he’ll be spared.Let me guess, Antifa are behind this plot?
They did an update or upgrade that caused their systems to reboot on a loop I think my wife said.Crowdstrike 'system update' hits a glitch.

I’m just playing your game. He could’ve been replaced last decade.It's hard to keep up. How many spare Biden's are there?

One of the big problems with cloning is accelerated aging. It must be hard trying to clone an 80 year old and not have it immediately descend into dementia.I’m just playing your game. He could’ve been replaced last decade.
Wasn't a deflection. Was just pointing out how poor and to be honest niave your comment was.Poor deflection. Provide a source.
Wrong.Wasn't a deflection. Was just pointing out how poor and to be honest niave your comment was.
You should just admit you only hae an issue with billionaires funding politicians if the are ones you agree with.
I'm not ok with it but I'm not the one trying to score points of it. Then pretending it only happens on one side by deflecting with source?Wrong.
I think it's abhorrent that donation tallies are listed with polling numbers, and I absolutely agree with Sanders who wants to take donations out of politics and make elections publically funded.
I see you still have no source, and seem ok with a VP who is bought and owned by a billionaire.
Now, are you man enough to admit you made an incorrect assumption and apologise?
I don't care if they are GOP or Dems. It's plain wrong regardless. At least someone in the Dems (Sanders) publically opposes it. I've mentioned it many times.I'm not ok with it but I'm not the one trying to score points of it. Then pretending it only happens on one side by deflecting with source?
You can google Beto O'Rourke if you want. I'm sure there's more an I'm certain you already know there is more.
Do you have a source for this?I don't care if they are GOP or Dems. It's plain wrong regardless. At least someone in the Dems (Sanders) publically opposes it. I've mentioned it many times.
JD is bought by a billionaire to represent a party that is increasing taxes on people earning less than $75k and cutting taxes on people earning over $5m.
The cult are cool with this. It's weird.
Historically, societies crumble when wealth inequality reaches a certain infection point and there are useful idiots in the US cheering on policies that will gut the middle class. We'll be somewhat shielded in Australia (we may actually benefit in the short term from Trump's impending trade war with China) for a while, but I hope we don't follow the same path of robbing the majority to prop up the 1%.
FWIW I'd be doing everything possible to reduce donations and influence in Australian politics too, even if our imperfect system is miles better than what they US have.
Yes.Do you have a source for this?
* Guessing it's a Project 2025 thing that Trump has distanced himself from.
Where does it say taxes forYes.

It's a paper from 2017 - "Distributional Effects Of The Conference Agreement For H.R.1, The Tax Cuts And Jobs Act"
It accounts for all other policy effects on US household income (e.g. healthcare penalties).
For an idea of how Trump's tax cuts for the rich (and little movement for everyone else) work without the associated penalties, this link has graphs:
The 2017 Trump Tax Law Was Skewed to the Rich, Expensive, and Failed to Deliver on Its Promises | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
Policymakers and the public should understand that the 2017 Trump tax law was skewed to the rich, was expensive and eroded the U.S. revenue base, and failed to deliver promised economic benefits. A 2025 course correction is needed.www.cbpp.org

Trump and his billionaire cronies have played the US public for fools.
So where does it say Trump wants to increase the taxes for under 75k?Yes.
