Will be fun to read how the press accepts how it is Biden's fault.

“Yr open mouth awaiting my harvest,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services, had written to my then-fiancé. “Drink from me Love."
He continued, “I mean to squeeze your cheeks to force open your mouth. I’ll hold your nose as you look up at me to encourage you to swallow. ‘Dont spill a drop’. I am a river You are my canyon. I mean to flow through you. I mean to subdue and tame you. My Love.”
President Donald Trump early on Monday said the "full benefit" of his tariff policies would take effect soon, bringing "unprecedented" wealth and national security.
He argued in a social media post that foreign buyers stockpiled inventory before his sweeping tariffs were put into place, allowing them to delay payments to the U.S., but, he said, that inventory will run out shortly and make way for record-setting revenue...
The Project 2025 "Fundamental Reforms" includes eliminating federal income taxes and replacing the income with the most regressive taxes and fees they can imagine...
He's burning the stupidity candle at both ends and trying to get the middle lit...
oh yeah, everyone's overbuy is about to run out so they have to start buying tariffed goods and then the economy will just skyrocket because all those tariff revenues!
I am expecting a flex account, which we already can got, but this one is for your healthcare, and the rich people as top earners will be qualified for more than anyone else.
Well good lord, I forgot to take my meds yesterday, including my allergy pill and I work up in the night from a dream I was suffocating, egads. I took it and felt better about 10 minutes later, but whoa doggies, I hate that dream. I take a zyrtec (off brand) daily year round because I'm allergic to something, but I don't know when it emits its allergens and I seem to have allergies year round without it.
I am so ready for the short week. I am planning to take Wednesday off, I think, just because. I might take a few more days at The Holidays. Making a trip down to Austin Saturday morning to spend a day and night with kink partner. I'm excited to hear about his last trip home to Mexico. I was so worried about him getting through immigration.
We got a good rain last night so I'll be able to tell if I am stuck with the stain on my ceiling or if the new roof stopped the leak. I believe the hole in the wall needs one more layer of putty, so I'll do that today, and then sand it and paint tomorrow. I literally ran out of work to do last week at the office, so this week will be lots of organizing and tidying.

Trump appears to want to revive the raucous comedies and action movies of the late 1980s to late 1990s. He’s passionate, for instance, about the 1988 Jean Claude Van Damme sports flick Bloodsport.

Plus, sleeping during official proceedings frees up his nights for TV!
Bloodsport is one of the few watchable Jean Claude Van Damme movies, but 'passionate' about it? Leave that to 14 year old boys discovering the film for the first time, please.
Universal soldier was better I thought. Not that it is a good movie, although Dolph makes a very very very good bad guy. But the story was interesting and held interest past the action sequences
The top story on Tech Meme. There are many, many different links to choose from to read. We all know this and this is not a surprise. But, the wide spread reporting of this across all the various new media outlets may help to get this type of political propaganda ignored and/or banned.

It will never be banned XD If it were a bunch of lefty "influencers" the right would go into a screaming fit, but other than american magats whining someone else is honing in on their grift, nothing will change
*nods* It will help, though, when those ex-MAGAs begin to publicly display their buyer's remorse for voting for the dipshit perv ... "I was brainwashed by them bots!"
I do not, will not ever, have never understood why anyone would give trmp, a felon, a con man and a fraud, and anyone who aligns with him the benefit of the doubt on anything. Ever. The shitshow that is the Ukraine "Peace plan" is nothing but an exercise in bad faith. Everything they do is in bad faith. Start from there in dealing with them.
Something about that doesn't add up. $12,400 is, if I'm remembering correctly, about as much as the standard deduction for 2025. That doesn't get taxed, because it doesn't even count as income.
That would make more sense, but it should be reported in a way that makes things more clear, since many people will just look at the table and nothing else.
I worked on payroll systems. The end of the year is kinda too late. Payroll changes need to made, tested, signed off and rolled into production. While a lot of people are out for holidays and to use up their vacation allotment. The employer can be liable for any gaps in withholding. Of course, Crooked Donnie will tell affected employees to sue Joe Biden.
In today's America, idiot convicted fraudsters can successfully buy pardons for other convicted fraudsters for cash.

Is he the dumbest of them?
My vote goes to our little Real World alum.
Hard to tell, but he's certainly in the running..
So there's gonna be a recession

It's Biden's fault for letting them vote for this shit and not trying harder to win. He should have stopped them!

Who the hell goes to movie theaters for anything anymore, let alone MAGA propaganda???
The new red hats will have Obligating Belgian Actors Massive Again on them.
Cue one of my favourite jokes:
Two men on a plane, one says to the other: The name is Bond, James Bond
The other says : Damme, van Damme, Claude van Damme, Jean-Claude van Damme
I don't know why, but this just tickles me
My sister and I would do a joke where if one said Jean-Claude Van Damme, the other had to say Dolph Lungren.
Like gesundheit after a sneeze
Bloodsport is one of the few watchable Jean Claude Van Damme movies, but 'passionate' about it? Leave that to 14 year old boys discovering the film for the first time, please.
Universal soldier was better I thought. Not that it is a good movie, although Dolph makes a very very very good bad guy. But the story was interesting and held interest past the action sequences
I keep confusing "Universal Soldier" with Kurt Russell's "Soldier"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oeW9sflsdg
(trailer)
I like how you can tell who the bad soldiers are cause they are all bald
edit: course if I recollect correctly, the story is basically apocolypse now with a little scifi and a lot of fighting scenes for fun
You are probably correct.
I've seen Bloodsport and Timecop more than that one, though, so my memories of it aren't reliable.
I mostly remember Dolph ending up with a string of human ears XD
Think I have seen any of those once and only once so it's my memory that is suspect on these
Still, it's legally distinct and that's what matters.
True. And Dolph was actually a super good bad guy in that and Jean Claude was almost an actor.
Hence Orangini's fascination. He's a mental 14 year old.
creative input
Make them the same as they were!
Good news for Steven Seagal.
The good news he's been receiving lately has been limited to "Dinner is ready!"
And fabric is cheap in Russia so he can afford to up-size his muumuus.

Duped by unwashed foreign troublemakers and their filthy AI bots.
The real autopsy will be finding out who PAID for all those bots and disinformation people.
We already know. Vlad, Xi, and the GOP via the american taxpayer
I'll add Musk and AIPAC, also too. Both invested around $300 million in Felon47's re-election but we don't know exactly how.
Figure direct payments to Trump XD
I'm betting AIPAC hired a LOT of those bots to do the anti-semitic talk track for the Gaza protests, etc.

Well, sometimes it's bad faith and stupidity. Oh, and ignorance. Wait, wait ... and bigotry.

Something about that doesn't add up. $12,400 is, if I'm remembering correctly, about as much as the standard deduction for 2025. That doesn't get taxed, because it doesn't even count as income.
That's your estimated income after the standard deduction.
That would make more sense, but it should be reported in a way that makes things more clear, since many people will just look at the table and nothing else.
0-12,400: No tax.
12,400-24,800 10% etc.
Agreed.
quietly released new tax brackets, at the end of the year.
I worked on payroll systems. The end of the year is kinda too late. Payroll changes need to made, tested, signed off and rolled into production. While a lot of people are out for holidays and to use up their vacation allotment. The employer can be liable for any gaps in withholding. Of course, Crooked Donnie will tell affected employees to sue Joe Biden.
Anything past april or so is way too late. We pay our taxes mostly by paycheck installments.
Imagine suddenly owing thousands instead of a hundred or so
This is for 2026 income taxes.
the article seems to imply it is for filing in 26, cause they mention the big beautiful fuck america act and what not
