JD Vance doesn’t care if you post memes about him. He reposts them and laughs. The reason it works for MAGA, is the Dems fall for it everytime. Case in point, the sombrero memeing. Hakeem Jeffries crying racism and saying he’s not scared .. ok.. now they’re just going to meme you more. Trump putting out the memes comports with his entire public persona for four decades. In other words, like the tactic or not, it's authentic. When the left tries to respond in kind it's just plain cringe.

Most of us have been raised to believe that there are standards of decorum, especially in the workplace and especially in instances of leadership and duty. Most of us are held to those standards. 2

Here’s what LDD said: “there are standards of decorum, especially in the workplace and especially in instances of leadership” Pretty sure speaker of the house is a leadership role. I would like to say that you know that and that you know that’s what LDD stated, but that would be giving you too much credit. You are more emotional than asstute in your posting. Do you see what I did there with astute? That was just for you. You’re welcome. 2 minutes ago, nedboy7 said: ⬆️ 🤣 JDDunce in da house!! Good post 2

I agree, that was childish. That's a good example, but it's one in a sea of childish behaviors now...unfortunately. I think the atrocious, bi-partisan, behavior at the Ryder Cup is a symptom of the incessant childishness that we see from those in charge, no matter the party. Edited October 3 by LDD
JDHillFan Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Just now, LDD said: I agree, that was childish. That's a good example, but it's one in a sea of childish behaviors now...unfortunately. We are in agreement. It’s an embarrassment to our country. 1
AlBUNDY4TDS Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Democrats act like children, but trump needs to be the bigger man. Sure.
B-Man Posted October 3 Author Posted October 3 DOE Takes a Scalpel to 'Nearly $8B' in Blue States' Green Energy Waste During Schumer Shutdown by Becca Lower The Democrats appear to have miscalculated on triggering a government shutdown by a vast measure, which we started to see in motion mere hours after the Schumer Shutdown began on Oct. 1. President Trump signaled in a Truth Social post he was eager to sit down with OMB head Vought in the afternoon, to dig into what extraneous government spending might get cut--especially anything prized by the Democrats. Anyway, sure enough, on Wednesday evening, the Energy Department chimed in, sharing in a press release posted on X that after a review that started in May, they had "determined that these projects did not adequately advance the nation’s energy needs, were not economically viable, and would not provide a positive return on investment of taxpayer dollars." Here are the offices and agencies that were awarded the money: Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Office of Grid Deployment (GDO) Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) and Fossil Energy (FE). Long story short, the DOE said to the green energy scammers: Not on our watch. https://redstate.com/beccalower/2025/10/02/ombs-vought-takes-a-scalpel-to-nearly-8b-in-blue-states-green-energy-waste-during-schumer-shutdown-n2194674 1

You omitted the part of the quote in prior poster spoke specifically of the office of the president of the United States. This is what happens when you dwell more on your enthusiasm for the sphincter than on reading comprehension.
sherpa Posted October 3 Posted October 3 2 hours ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: It needn't be. So are you suggesting we change the tax law? Screw around with this issue and see the consequences. 3 hours ago, SectionC3 said: So, point is, we generated more tax revenue from the wealthy during all of those presidencies, nobody stopped working, and working class people shouldered less of the tax load. I'm not sure your premise is correct. I am sure that when you get to a certain level of tax on income, you discourage work and productivity, and capital moves elsewhere. I used to know the figure but I believe it's less than 40%. The bottom line is always the same though. We have no revenue problem. We have a spending problem, and there is no valid argument. 1

sherpa Posted October 3 Posted October 3 44 minutes ago, SectionC3 said: Prove me wrong. Are you serious? You think you can assign work here? There are three points I would make. 1.Tax law years ago had higher rates, but also included many more deductions. So comparing it to now is apples/oranges. 2. Back when the country was discussing a flat tax, and we were more cordial and respectful of each other, there was an agreed to number that if exceeded would diminish capital. 3. We waste an entire amount of time, energy and human capital avoiding tax. Entire industries are based on this, and it is non productive. Keep rates reasonable and don't double tax, and this amazing country will prosper. Go after those you don't like because they have contributed an amazing amount to this country, and are compensated accordingly, and you are fighting a battle you are going to lose, and hurting the nation. 1 2 1
