You mentioned paying one's fair share just a couple of posts above.
I'm referring to the rich who get away with paying a much lower % of their income via taxes.
Do you feel it's fair for a billionaire to pay a lower % than middle class people? I'm definitely not a fan. I definitely don't see the relation to liberty either but I'm multi-tasking so maybe I'm off base. You tell me.

My opinion, from reading your posts, is that your willing to give up most everything
Surely then you can name one.
I can say I was willing to give up some during covid for the benefit of those around me. I would call that a responsibility of those living in a functioning society.
What else?

Not a serious political party. Needs to be abolished.
Can't be abolished, at least I don't think so, but rebuild top to bottom.
Trump just did it so it can be done. Need someone with his type of influence but actually with a functional brain that doesn't pander to whackos.

...and your answer is to surrender your liberty to the clowns in government.
What liberty did I surrender?
You talking covid restrictions? 2nd amendment insanity? Freedom of speech?

"This is so correct I have no legitimate reply."
Trump was just caught accidentally telling the truth to billionaire donors, that they should donate because he'll help them. His tax plan benefitted them above all.
At least dems want them to pay their fair share.

Nah, tax breaks for the wealthy that explode the deficit so you can cut education and programs for the poor and working class so you can do more tax breaks for the wealthy which explodes the deficit so you can cut education and programs for the poor and working class so you can do more tax breaks for the wealthy which explodes the deficit...
The worst part is they act like they're not slaves to the rich. If you asked independently most would say they're against making the rich richer. Yet they are so easily manipulated by culture war BS they don't even see the puppet masters.

Fine, they have warts, so what? What country doesn't have corruption?
Oh hey, everyone does it, whatever
Getting away from Russia's influence has helped every single former Russian satellite state tremendously when it comes to corruption. There's a reason for that. It's beaten into their culture. Excising cancer isn't easy.
Ukraine is a f'd up country. They are trying to westernize/ be what we call normal. Russia doesn't like that. Yes nato encroachment factors too, lots of factors. But Russia definitely wants their control over Ukraine.

I don’t know anything about the region, and a Burisma connection seems unreasonably convenient. It would fall into the “50+ of our most experienced intelligence experts declare a laptop to be Russian malfeasance right before a highly contentious presidential election” convenient, but that’s a different discussion.
With respect to Ukrainian activity, I’d think it’s fair to consider whether or not “occasional rogue incidents” accurately reflects what’s going on there. It would seem unlikely that one side is practicing barbarism on the scale of 10/7, and the other maintaining operational and ethical discipline while in a fight to the death.
Unreasonably convenient would be right. Absurdly so.
Technology has made it so you can't get away with things like you used to.
I'm not saying Ukraine are the good guys but they are trying to be.
Now Russia on the other hand has given awards notorious war criminals. Bucha was pretty bad. A lot of atrocities are actually online. Some of the worst, Russians took videos of themselves.
Yes as Ap said 3 sides, I agree. But there's an obvious difference between the 2 sides.

I'm skeptical of this Burisma connection but I also never believed the ISIS-K story either. My guess is State intel of some nation or two, etc., is behind the attack. Some terrorist group? Come on.
It's an absurd accusation and it doesn't make sense.
Ukraine is trying to be the "good guy" in this war. Sure there's the occasional rogue incident but that will happen when one side is castrating enemy soldiers and raping anything breathing. Having spent years in the region trust me when I say there's a segment of the population who are barely human.
It's amazing Zelensky has his soldiers not answering in kind more often.

When you say this isn't good, do you perhaps mean made up? I'm guessing the Twitter incel community is working hard sharing this to make it go viral though.

I dont see anything resembling hate in his post. Not sure why you'd even take it that way.

I’m saying that if a former elected has government docs in their possession, they do not get charged if they cooperate and turn them over when asked. Like it or not, that’s just how it works.
If you actually read Hur’s report, the evidence they could use to charge Biden for willful possession was a single comment he made. In all of the tapes with his ghostwriter, he never again mentioned them, none of the information ended up in the book. The documents were not even found in the house he was in when he made the comment (and they were in a “badly damaged box surrounded by household detritus”), and he had been out of office for barely a month (while in office, he was permitted to keep such files at his home).
No jury would convict on that fact pattern.
If the Trump case had the same facts, Trump wouldn’t have been charged because there would be no likelihood of a conviction.
He got charged because, unlike Biden or Pence, Trump obstructed the investigation and lied to the Feds. That’s certainly enough to be able to prove intent to a jury.
The thing that has the right so made is that they mistakenly believe the cases are the same and Trump is being treated differently. They are not because Trump ensured his indictment by his own actions after the documents were discovered by the Feds.
How many times do you think you've spelled this out here? At least 10.

And yet he'll win the election in November.
I'm seeing more that shows he's gonna lose but maybe.
A lot of R's are gonna refuse to vote for him. I think Kennedy is gonna siphon more off Trump but he could be a wild card. We'll see.

i'm calling it a retool. it's not a rebuild.
our benchmarks are set. the cabinets and infastructre is there.
they can trade back from the 1st and get 2 2's this year for a WR and an OL, with 3 picks in the 2nd or some other configuration.
Who knows? Maybe they can pull out a 1st in 2025 plus another decent 2024 pick. Some team falls in love with potential.....

Id still consider trading back. 🤯🤷🏼♂️
If they view 2025 draft as better and get a good offer? I'm down. Right now it looks like we're doing a mini roster reset.

It was already looking like a proper rebuild, but I think the fans were in denial. Now there’s no hiding it. Unless Beane has something up his sleeve - like flipping this pick for some other vet WR1, Josh Allen will be throwing to a bunch of rooks and jags this year.
I think this is right. 1 year rebuild unless something crazy changes. It's a bummer but may be for the best. The team as constructed could not win the super bowl.
I wonder if they see next year's draft as better than this years.

Biden tries to unify this country every day and deliver for all Americans. From supporting unions, signing legislation to improve infrastructure, expanding American manufacturing, reducing the burden of student loans, fighting climate change, and improving our technology edge (AI, Chips, etc.)
Biden hasn’t been perfect, but he’s done a lot with a GOP Congress that is more interested in manifesting chaos, while Biden is trying to make all American’s lives better despite severe ideological differences between the parties.
Anything you say will be turned into a negative, even if it had a positive impact. Another ironic thread. 80% of posts by the conservatives on this board are complaints (or straight up whining).

Are we really going to pretend the wealthy don't exploit the system? Often it's done legally because they donate money to influence policy leaving massive loopholes. Your reply makes me believe you know this and are conveniently forgetting.
The famous example comes to mind of Warren Buffet paying a lower effective rate than his secretary.
