    not surprising at all.... there's a lot more blue cities with apartment buildings.  think NYC, Chicago, Etc. 

    wonder how many red-state maga's could afford the rent in the aforementioned?

     

    now let's do states vs. education... guess what color states the least educated are in?   :read:

    You fit in well with the left looking down your nose at others.   The 3 most successful people I know never went to college and all likely contribute more to society in a year than you have in your lifetime.

  2. What a mockery the justice system has become.   $464 million in fines for valuing property that the banks agreed upon and even testified that it worked out well for them and they wanted to continue to do business with his organization.

  3. I tip very generously but honestly I wish they would just put the cost in and pay staff a standard wage.   If its too expensive for the food they serve I'll just go somewhere else.   Tipping has gotten out of hand.  I've even seen it a few times for online merch purchases for the "packaging" people.   FFS enough already. 

    When I do use a card I usually tip with cash.   I put TIT in the tip line on the receipt.  Taxation is Theft.

    I never claimed that. In this case it was. Is it really a big deal to keep your guns locked up if you have minor children in the home?  

    I was agreeing with  you just adding in that how kids are raised can make them killers as well.   How do we prosecute that?  What about parents who give easy access to alcohol and a kid kills people in a DD accident?    No doubt I want some parent responsibility its just where do we start and stop?

    Hell my parents had these cool wildlife whiskey bottles that they never drank out of.   They were basically water because we would drink them.  :lol:   There is a difference between giving a kid a gun and just not locking it up.   I think in this case they bought him the gun(s).

    No way.  I have teenagers which are way smarter and much easier to reason with.

    I've never claimed the counts or recounts were wrong. 

    Both sides especially the dems use to complain that mail in ballots were ripe for fraud.   

    My debate has been related to sig verification, voting rules changing without passing the legislature (per the us constitution) which included taking ballots that weren't filled out right or changing the dates they could come in, illegal drop boxes (Wis supreme court ruled they were illegal).

    This goes without mentioning the interference by the DOJ or IC on numerous levels.

    In any case Biden won and the country has had to deal with that.

    no, never have.  how about we all pay the same percentage?  you know fully well (I think?) that it's far easier to avoid taxation for certain individuals in the 1%. Musk, Bezo's, Zuckerberg, Buffett... all get a better deal than you or I do with deferred compensation, stock they borrow against, and on and on.  maybe you're just being obtuse... :dunno: 

    I've 100% been supportive of changing the rules on carried interest and am open on deferred compensation.   I'm 100% against a wealth tax on assets.   

    Keep in mind the people you are talking about above pay extremely high taxes on the profits the companies they own pay to the govt.   For us S corp owners it goes on our personal taxes and we personally pay them.   For them (c corp) it goes on and is paid by the corp but as owners its basically the same thing.

    Buffett is really a false narrative because not only as part owner of BH but basically all BH does is own companies.   Those companies profits are taxed are are essentially paid by him just thru the corps themselves.   They don't get off as scott free as you make it out to sound.

    You sure like to make assumptions... 

    Really?  Liberals don't say these 2 things all the time?  So I'll ask do you support a wealth tax to pay down the deficit?  

    yeah... and the 1% own what percentage of the wealth?  

    at what point is enough enough?

    Majority of Trump voters accepted the results. 

    The capitol riot wasn't every single Trump voter. 
     

     

    Some people simply cannot understand that one can accept the results knowing Biden is the President yet are still able to highlight all the anomalies in how the election was handled in a number of states. 

    Kind of like OJ.   Yes the jury found him not guilty but we all know there was some fuckery involved.
