Reagan cut taxes, Bush I cut taxes, Bush II cut taxes, Trump I cut taxes and Trump II cut taxes. Clinton raised taxes and all the pundits said it would destroy the economy. Oddly enough, it didn't. It even balanced the budget for the first time in decades. Cutting taxes was supposed to stimulate the economy but there's no evidence that it did. But Clinton's tax hikes boosted the economy, Obama's tax hikes boosted the economy and so did Biden. History makes it clear, never vote Republican.
The hours are a bit odd but the pay ain't bad. I start on Tuesday. That is if I pass my drug and background test.

You can rest assured that when a Democrat takes the White House, all the Republicans in Congress will be screaming about the need to deal with the debt and using feigned concern about it to oppose any policies that might actually benefit ordinary Americans.
How is it that most of us understand the bond markets work better than that Secretary of Smarmy Bullshit Let’s Get Into A Bar Fight With Other Smarmy White Republican Guys Piece of Shit Treasury?
At least while he's posing for the fucking cameras he isn't sabotaging air traffic control or highway safety standards. We should encourage all of Piggy's cabinet worms to spend less time at the office, since they cause less harm taking selfies and shit.
DUMP talked a big game about how he was going to eliminate the debt before both of his terms, but just like getting Mexico to pay for the wall, it was all bullshit.
Five things that Donald Trump and MAGA believe are more important than jobs, affordability, your health, social security and middle class tax relief and shows a checklist with a school teacher checking boxes.

TBF, military spending at approx. $1T per year is 1/7 of overall spending. Here’s a very general breakdown (2025 numbers). Bottom line: without raising revenue, even completely eliminating military spending wouldn’t put us into the black.
Or like earning (or inheriting) a fuckton of money due to living in a generally prosperous, safe, stable, educated country, and saying “Fuck you fuckers; I got mine.”
We can no longer sustain a bloated beyond belief military that puts billions of dollars in CEO pockets and lobster, caviar, Caesar salad, Potatoes Lyonnaise and chateaubriand on Drunk Ass Pete's lunch and dinner table while soldiers and sailors are put on a starvation diet and loaded up with testosterone shots!
"President Trump has demanded a liberal think tank retract a critical report on his National Guard deployments by Friday evening, threatening to file a $5 billion defamation suit if it doesn’t.
In a nine-page letter sent Monday by Trump’s personal attorney, which was reviewed by The Hill, he claimed the Center for American Progress (CAP) “manufactured” that the deployments weren’t improving violent crime.
“Defendants did not merely draw a different academic conclusion; they defamed President Trump by distorting a contested empirical question into a sensational, false, malicious and defamatory accusation that President Trump knowingly lied to the American people,” attorney Alejandro Brito wrote."
In a statement, CAP President and CEO Neera Tanden, a senior adviser to former President Biden, called the threat “baseless” and defended the report as “rigorous, evidence-based research and analysis.”

OT: SCOTUS allows construction to continue on Ballroom while they think about it some more.
NYTimes:
The Supreme Court on Friday temporarily allowed President Trump to continue construction of a luxury White House ballroom to replace the East Wing he demolished last fall.
In a one-sentence order, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., acting on his own, issued a placeholder that gives all nine justices additional time to more fully consider whether construction of the planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom can proceed.
The chief justice’s order did not provide a timeline for when the court would act next, stating only that a lower-court ruling against the Trump administration was paused “pending further order of the undersigned or of the court.”
Lower court judges had ruled that Mr. Trump exceeded his authority by moving ahead with the construction without approval from Congress. Even so, they had allowed the project to continue in recent months while litigation was underway.

Today is the first time I ate since Monday.
Good luck and best to you!
Here is a fact or two: it is true that Democrats tax and spend, and Republicans spend and tax your children and grandchildren.
Baconz just learned Lake Erie is full of water too also.
Ta, Dok. I smell Putin.

Like every other promise or statement from his mouthanus.
Paul Krugman thinks Bessent is an incompetent idiot.
You could sub in the name of anyone else from this regime and it would be just as true.
*checks note*, Paul is correct
Simple idea for a devastating political ad.

“The United States does not have a high-spending problem; it has a low-tax problem.”
Couldn’t have said it better myself. YOU WANT SHIT, YOU PAY FOR SHIT. It ain’t fucking rocket science.
A low tax problem, definitely.
But it also has a high military spending problem. Eisenhower warned us, oh so long ago.
TBF, military spending at approx. $1T per year is 1/7 of overall spending. Here’s a very general breakdown (2025 numbers). Bottom line: without raising revenue, even completely eliminating military spending wouldn’t put us into the black.
SPENDING
Non-discretionary (Social Security, Medicare, etc.): $4,000B
Non-military discretionary: $1,000B
Military: $1,000B
Interest: $1,000B
REVENUE: $5,200B
If someone earns or holds *substantially* more than everybody else, they have to pay more.
It's like going into a restaurant, racking up a huge bill, and then walking out, saying "Someone else will pay it for me."
I'm getting the sense that this is precisely how the rich do things, though.
Or like earning (or inheriting) a fuckton of money due to living in a generally prosperous, safe, stable, educated country, and saying “Fuck you fuckers; I got mine.”
There's no fixing the US government's fiscal situation without slashing war spending to what we actually need to defend the US; about a 90% cut.
And taxing corporations and the wealthy at Eisenhower Administration levels.
Every other suggestion is bullshit meant to mislead Americans that there is a magical solution.
The "social spending" actually has a positive R.O.I.
So what I'm hearing is more tax cuts for corporations and the rich so the money will trickle down. Sounds great, let's do it!
That's the part to focus on. Put those numbers out showing the positive ROI. Not that math makes sense anymore.
We can no longer sustain a bloated beyond belief military that puts billions of dollars in CEO pockets and lobster, caviar, Caesar salad, Potatoes Lyonnaise and chateaubriand on Drunk Ass Pete's lunch and dinner table while soldiers and sailors are put on a starvation diet and loaded up with testosterone shots!
Same with health care/insurance.

Proper response - FUCK OFF and counter sue.
Boo hoo!
Future historians won't believe the sheer amount of criming and unhinged bullshit that we had to put up with during this administration.
Yeah, because by then someone worse will have come along and all of this will seem quaint by comparison.
There's a happy thought.
There will be at least a whole chapter's worth left out of high school civics books.
There is no dum(B)ster fire big enough to obliterate it all, though that will be attempted.
Good luck with the ACTUAL MALICE requirement, asshole.
Don't forget about the discovery process.
They don't care. They just want to run up the costs to the point CAP folds and cuts a check to save even more costs.
Yeah I keep forgetting that part. JFC I want him blasted off the planet.
His time will come, just not nearly soon enough.
It better because we will never recover without it.
Right. Suing anyone who calls him a fraud. Trump is really getting back to his roots.
Fraud.
Liar.
Con-artist.
Adjudicated rapist.
Grifter.
Business failure.
Crashing bore.
Toxic narcissist.
Adulterer.
I could go on...

Yeah, we saw this coming, right?
Reach around again by the quisling for the convicted felon.
Roberts is such a coward.
Balls and strikes, y'all.
No balls and I'd *love* to strike him.
