I should of said “makes it impossible to raise taxes on the rich” … without them passing on the hurt to the poor. Sort of like how Trump thinks a tariff on foreign goods will only be paid by foreigners.

The rich don’t earn money from an income. They earn it from investments. We tax investments at the same rate as the top bracket (37%). If we raised the top income bracket to 38%, it would push more rich to receive their income via investment. However, raise the investment tax (capital gains), and we drive foreign investment away. A lot of foreign money is in America because we have a long history of stability and a low possibility of the people rising up and nationalizing ownership of foreign property. Drive that money away and everyone suffers, but that also makes it impossible to raise taxes on the rich.

When it is connected to a f-16 it might be complex.

Trump: “What is the worst idea we can implement?”

Ramaswamy:“Let’s make all the people that know how to use the most complex and deadly weapons mad at us as quickly as possible!”

Depends on how long Big Mac Don lives. Republicans first got elected when the democratic party split into 3 different branches with 3 different presidential candidates. I could see something like that happening in the near future with the republicans.

Trump’s M.O.: Try to do the craziest thing that you can think of. If it doesn’t work, people will be more accepting of the 2nd craziest thing you can think of. Repeat.

The hype should go the other way. Instead of bigger and bigger models that do more and more - have smaller models that are just as effective. Get them onto personal computers; get them onto phones; get them onto Arduino minis that cost $20 - and then have those models be as good as the big LLMs and Image gen programs.

Wow, they are buying ads but haven’t made any new content since 2012?. Must be a desert bus for hope promotion.

I can believe that Trump won on the backs of “people voting only for Trump and no one else on the ballot”, since Trump was running far ahead of all the other republican candidates. Means once Trump dies of old age, there will be a power vacuum. Remember, democrats have run two women and Biden in the decade span that republicans have only ran Trump.

It’s time the democrats have a primary where the winner isn’t preordained. Even with Obama, Hillary was “preordained” the winner in 2008, only to have everyone be surprised that an electable candidate got nominated. Same thing happened with Bill Clinton in '92, where the “preordained” candidate dropped out (ironically due to an affair) and Bill Clinton took his place. Come to think of it, that is how Obama got his senate seat. Someone cheated on 7 of 9 and suddenly Illinois has a black senator.

Anyways, just let us vote.

I think it is as good time as any to introduce everyone to the four theives vinegar collective. Their diy drug making system is only as safe as the people using it are careful - but if kennedy running the show, probably be as safe as corporate.

Trump: “What do you advise I say on abortion?”

Trump advisor: “Just… just stop talking about abortion.”

Trump, 10 minutes later to a journalist: “Stop talking about abortion!”

Tucker Carlson’s dogs were responsible for nuclear technology?

Bad puppers!

OR an unbiblical cord?

Merrick Garland: “Wait, they can do that?”

Jimmy Carter has to hang on for 14 more years.

Don’t engineers have a portable AH?

I remember when it was only implied sex - and then they cut away to show an elevator slowly filling up with tanks…

In the event of a electoral system collapse, the BIOS of government is “who would the military support?”

Harris wins enough states to get to 270 and then (Some electoral votes get sent wrong/don’t get sent and congress/SCOTUS rules Trump the winner), Harris asked the military “who do you support?” and it might be Trump is put in jail by the military before he can be sworn in. Sets a bad “president”, but if you throw out the rules to win, expect the other side to do the same.

Lister: “Rimmer, death isn’t the handicap it used to be in the olden days. It doesn’t screw your career up like it used to.”

Rimmer: “That’s what they say, Lister, but if you had two people coming for a job and one of them was dead, which one would you pick?”

Lister “It depends which is better qualified.”

Rimmer “Bullpats. When was the last time you saw a dead newsreader?”

Lister “Channel 27 had a hologram reading the news.”

Rimmer “Oh. Groovy, funky Channel 27. Big smegging deal. You livies hate us deadies.”
