re: What happened to honesty? I'm looking at you SFP and the like.

Didn't make a claim either way.

You were running your mouth about people getting slapped in the face. I guess you were talking about someone who would actually do something.

2. Do you support teaching trans ideology to minors?


You have to define lots of these words before any discussion can be had.

Do I think parents should be able to teach their children about people being trans? Yes.

---

Which words are you struggling to understand? Support, trans, ideology, minors? They are all very simple words. Oh right, it's just a pathetic attempt to avoid the truth.

The question was do you SUPPORT teaching kids about trannies. Your response was that you think parents should be allowed to teach it to their children. Your attempt to reframe the question was not successful. You clearly do SUPPORT teaching kids to be trannies.

quote:

This is another question that needs a lot more nuance and context and is unanswerable in any attempt at honesty as written.

---

Another attempt to avoid admitting the truth.

quote:

---

In New York, maybe, but it's the weakest case.

The other cases arise from Trump's stupidity after losing the election and engaging in extremely risky behavior that opened up the door for investigation/prosecution. This continued through possible obstruction of justice in the documents case (which is the strongest charge against him, currently).

---

An honest answer. Congratulations. It's still a retarded response with no basis in reality.

quote:

---

Again, this is a subject with a lot more layers/nuance than your question covers, so you need to clean it up to create an honest discussion.

---

And we're back to deflection.

For someone who claims his purpose is to bring truth, you sure do avoid honest answers quite frequently.

quote:

---

f this doesn't include you, just say so. Otherwise, it's clear that you think you'd actually do something.

I say you wouldn't do shite.

I live in Pensacola. Where would you like to have this conversation in person?

Which words are you struggling to understand? Support, trans, ideology, minors?

support
teaching
"Trans ideology"

Do you think parents should have their parental rights stripped and have teaching certain ideologies made illegal?

quote:

---

The question was do you SUPPORT teaching kids about trannies.

---

That is one interpretation of those words, and yes, I do. Trannies exist and there is nothing wrong with teaching kids that they exist, like anything else.

quote:

---

Your attempt to reframe the question

---

It was an example of an interpretation of his words. There are lots of ways they can be framed, which is exactly why I said, "You have to define lots of these words before any discussion can be had."

For someone who claims his purpose is to bring truth, you sure do avoid honest answers quite frequently.

Because I know what traps low-IQ echo chamber types try to lay, and they get real mad (see your melt) when I explain their dishonesty and explain why they need to refine their attempts.

My primary function on this board these days is to correct lies/mistruths and try to redirect people back to reality, while refusing to be a hypocrite and maintaining my values (so we can add honor into the mix).

I'm in Madison, Wisconsin/Sun Prairie. Let me know if you're in this area. Where are you? I travel a lot. I might wind up being near you. I'll have a scrap with any of you bitchy TDS crybabies on this board if you wanna' step up. It would be fun. Been in more than I can count, only lost a few over the years, and never afraid of another.

I'll leave it at that.

I'm in Arizona. I'll be in Vegas next week, then back to Arizona.

they will not answer this roger, they will just say TDS.

I'm not afraid to answer the question.

First, Trump said it would take him 8 years.

Second, those numbers are largely skewed by his last year in office brought about by Covid.

Third, the economy was outstanding up until Covid hit in early 2020.

Fourth, did you forget about TCJA? The above link (I don't know how to embed) shows the tax cuts as a result of TCJA. He lowered taxes across the board.

quote:

How the TCJA Affected Individuals
Income Tax Rates: The law retained the seven individual income tax brackets. The top rate fell from 39.6% to 37%, while the 33% bracket dropped to 32%, the 28% bracket to 24%, the 25% bracket to 22%, and the 15% bracket to 12%. The lowest bracket remained at 10%, and the 35% was unchanged.

Standard Deduction: TCJA significantly raised the standard deduction. For tax year 2024, the standard deduction for single filers is $14,600 and $29,200 for married couples filing jointly.
9
Personal Exemption: The law suspended the personal exemption, which was $4,150, through 2025.
10
Health Coverage Mandate: TCJA ended the individual mandate, a provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that levied tax penalties for individuals who did not obtain health insurance coverage.
Child Tax Credit: The law raised the child tax credit to $2,000 and created a non-refundable $500 credit for non-child dependents. The child tax credit can only be claimed if the taxpayer provides the child's Social Security number (SSN). Qualifying children must be younger than 17 years of age. The child credit begins to phase out when adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeds $400,000 (for married couples filing jointly, not indexed to inflation). These changes expire in 2025.

Fifth, Trump was trying to lure corporate business back into the US because our corporate tax laws were pushing businesses overseas.

Lastly, It is my opinion that Trump was sabotaged at every turn because he was not "one of them". Since the day he entered the presidential race, he has been mercilessly attacked. I'm surprised he hasn't thrown in the towel.

I'll be there for a VA appointment in February. We can just meet there to make it easy.

Good, I work right by that place. Keep me posted
