  • Nah, also you’re never going to lose out on income by making more money.

    Like others said, the only possible exception is if you’re getting government assistance and get kicked off programs you’re in because you went past the cut off. So, as an example, let’s say you’re low income and you get vouchers for school. You could make enough money that you’re no longer eligible for that benefit but the amount you make over the cut off is less than what the benefit was.

    But, that’s a specific situation. At no time will your taxes increase more than whatever additional income you’re getting. Period.

    I’ve tried to explain that too many times now in my life and I’m not even that old. Just a lot of people are bamboozled by propaganda and lies.











  • Just because they live in a clown world doesn’t mean we do.

    Honestly at this point I don’t know if any Trump voters are intelligent enough to understand how wrong they are and how they’ve enabled really shitty people to do horrible things.

    Like, genuinely, is it worth even trying to be nice or have a conversation in good faith when it’s basically impossible to do that even if you try. These folks are so far divorced from reality you can’t have a good faith convo because they don’t respect truth and won’t engage in good faith themselves.

    You can’t really force these idiots to understand how wrong this shit is when they seemingly can’t even comprehend it. Like they’re just genuinely that fucking dumb.




  • Man I had a hard time understanding his vocals but that might have just been the sound mixing on the broadcast. Heard that it was clearer on YouTube or other places to watch just the performance by itself. Probably easier to make out in the stands, no idea though.

    If I listened real hard I caught some of it but that’s probably also because my ears are not tuned well for a lot of hip hop just in general I have a hard time picking up lyrics for a lot of rap artists.

    Still, you’re spot on with the racism perspective - honestly it’s just people whining it’s not “their” kind of music. Ok, well, taste is subjective and I thought it was a banging show even if I didn’t clearly hear everything he said. Conservatives just want to be racist but pretend they’re not racist. When I hear someone say, “I’m not racist,” 95% of the time it’s because they’re racist and said or did some racist shit.



  • I guess that’s the drawback of positioning yourself as an alternative to the US that doesn’t interfere with foreign politics.

    That right there is why I’m really worried about the next 4 or more years right now as a citizen of the USA. Like, we’re just going to create this power vacuum through dumbass Don’s executive fun time and China will happily exploit that and lap up the material rewards.

    I feel like I’m watching a game of Civilization get played by a moron. It’s excruciating. Only way any of it makes sense is that Trump literally is a Russian agent because otherwise why the fuck is he trying to drive our country off a cliff?



  • Nah, Mexico and Canada are just doing things they had already planned to do and telling Trump what he wants to hear. They’re just pretending the tariff announcement was part of their decision making so our idiot in chief feels like he did something. He’s such a child it hurts me to think about how millions of my fellow Americans are so goddamn stupid that they voted for him. Like, how can I not be angry with people who voted for Trump, they enabled this and it’s awful.

    Anyways MX & CN are not caving at all, just illustrating how stupid our president and all of this is.
