You can’t be that dumb.

1) these rich people pay our “leaders” to write unfair tax code so they can not pay taxes. Legalized by Republican pushes to allow unlimited corporate donations and bribes. In many cases, they DO in fact write the code, then hand it to those “leaders”.
2) these “leaders” writing tax loopholes for the super rich, all Republicans, are also rich people, legislating for personal gain.

If the top 1% made 80% of all income, they underpayed by more than half if flat tax were the law or in any way fair. In the 50’s, the time period conservatives want to return to, the top 1% paid 91% tax rates, and America was booming. Today it’s actually <24% and you whine.
How much did they pay AFTER their last massive tax cut, much less than 40%….not that I’m taking your word for those statistics, you are hardly a trustworthy source, the actual number in 2018 is 37% of personal income taxes, which ignores a lions share of non income taxes we all pay.

If you count ALL federal taxes, they payed <24% of taxes collected.
Their highest income tax rate for the rich was +-25% (before deductions, exemptions, loopholes, tax heavens, etc), 66% less than in the 50’s. Under Clinton they paid almost 40% income tax (not 24%), and the economy was again much stronger and growing much faster.

Edit: it was possibly the highest share of that portion of federal taxes paid by the top 1% since 1982, although your track record indicates that’s also a huge exaggeration, but if it’s even remotely true that would be because they took (not really earned) that much more income, not because they paid a higher percentage of earnings. In the 90’s they paid 40%, not today’s 25%…yet today they pay more….can you understand what that means? It means they take almost twice as much “income” as they did in the 90’s when the economy was strong.

Republicans are ALL stupid people who do not think, proven every time they are forced to think and realize they have everything backwards. You idiots think Covid is a fraud, the election was stolen, and CRT in grade school is a thing.

Such a nonsensical blatant red herring. They often do “just write a check to the irs” btw. I’m not rich, but I don’t take deductions I legally could because I want to pay my share, not weasel out of it. That’s called being patriotic, not attacking congress and shirking any and all civic duties.
Pushing for a fair tax code, unlike Republicans who plan to raise taxes on anyone making under $250k AND end social security, Medicaid, Medicare, and any other social safety nets they can think of, is not just the ethical and moral thing, it’s the only sane economic move based on ALL economic history ever.

Right, stop wasting, like billions wasted on useless monuments to failure (Trump’s failing fence), trillions more on stupid failed trade wars, billions on political stunts like blockading the border (Texas), trillions to try to fix the disastrous Covid (lack of) response thanks to insane mismanagement and the removal of safeguards, billions to fight the non existent CRT in grade school nonsense…etc. you are ecstatic to waste billions-trillions on idiotic Republican nonsense with absolutely zero return for the money, not complaining once while Trump tried to double the debt in 4 years (nearly succeeding), but not on programs that keep the poor from turning to crime because they have literally nothing to lose, or start to fix our crumbling infrastructure, you call that pork. 🤦‍♂️

So fucking stupid, bob. Delusional, dumb, prejudiced, and always wrong. You must be playing the character of ignorant moronic trumptard, no real human being is this deluded or dumb. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, you are like a clock specifically designed to NEVER show the correct time….you actively avoid being truthful.

Technically not as a verb....at least not from what I recall and also looked up online.
"Alto" does mean stop, halt, or standstill, but in noun form as in "this is the right stop" or "traffic is at a standstill", not verb form like "stop the boat".
Still, it was understandable pigeon Spanish, so I agree, who cares?

Attacking innocent civilian for unknown reasons? Suspended with pay until "investigation" proves that the police were in the right.

Stopping a filmed assault being committed by another officer? FIRED!

Fucking cop justice! How does it work???

"Are you saying abortion is a punishment to children?" No. Where the heck did you get that from, @GeeSussFreeK? Isn't that kind of a leap?

Killing is killing. That is what I was saying.

I'm not going to address the rest of your long post, because really -- it does just get down to this: if abortion is murder, then the death penalty is murder.

Both are the conscious taking of a life, when you strip it down, whatever emotionally laden words you use. Call it "murder" for abortion, THEN it is "murder" for the death penalty.

Once the conservative right stops calling for state sanctioned "murder", then I will listen to their arguments about abortion being "murder." They can't have it both ways. If you are pro-life, you had dang well better be pro-life.

That is what I was saying. The rest is a conversation to have once we get past this central big stumbling block, yes?

Yes, well said. It's been proven that the higher guns per capita equals more human rights.
A country where every single person carries a gun is indeed, a perfect one.


Been to Afghanistan lately? Those motherfuckers are armed to the teeth and your human rights stop at the end of their gun barrels.

yeah, I saw this study when it was published over a year ago. Some interesting stuff that we can do with stem cells -- especially if the religious right stops needlessly interrupting progress. Good things pig cells work just as well.

"..except that they DID find biological weapons in Iraq."

Hilarious how you misconstrue a report which confirms exactly the opposite of a credible threat. Also, very clever of you to not refer to them as WMDs, because that's exactly correct, they're not! If such a gimped arsenal represents so huge a threat then why aren't we out there invading far more militarily endowed + willfully naughty countries (world police we are)? What we found are old stockpiles of leftover components from the 80s and early 90s, which were found after the fact that we invaded with little to no evidence, popular consensus or not; surely a big enough "threat" to invade/disrupt a whole country & region (including our own) for, right? Stop blindly towing the official party line.
