  1. Man you are trolling today. The answer is NO. Several reasons, but the FBI was trying to end Trump and hated him. Had he made that communication it would have been leaked immediately.
  2. They are not punished, they are actually rewarded. Several years ago, I did a loan for a Man who made made $28,000 that year. He paid $1800 in federal withholdings but got back right at 10K with the child tax credits. That is not paying taxes, that is the government rewarding someone for having kids. Maybe you can explain why that is ok.
  3. ***Name calling warning Second, this is not going to end well. When they release it I hope you don't squirrel out of your public bet with Regan.....to keep it on the up and up, you should send Regan the money and let him provide the receipt of his charity donation.
  4. I agree there needs to be changed - I like the index card idea - think about how many jobs could be eliminated at the IRS. The roadblock will be all the lawyers who will not be needed. They are big donors..... My other comment was addressing CB who demonizes rich people
  5. It's called "gold Card" - the media says "Trump's Gold Card" Kinda like the crappy Affordable Health Care act transformed to "obamacare" - but Obama didn't come up with that
  6. Elon paid 11 billion in Taxes in 2023. He also employees over 130,000 people. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think you should be penalized or demonized for success.
  7. I'm not sure how this is going to go, but it should be VERY entertaining. The whistleblower claimed two agents were inserted into the high levels of the campaign and were directed to act as "honeypots" and travel with Trump and his campaign staff. However, the investigation was allegedly closed because a media outlet obtained a photograph of one of the agents and was about to publish it. The whistleblower said they observed one or more employees being directed to never discuss the operation with anyone, including those involved in the operation. [Hidden Content]
  8. He is explaining it pretty well in his cabinet meeting. Don't seem too bad to me.
  9. I play with your troll........ Is trump doing anything to decrease spending? Are the Democrats mad because Elon is adding jobs and spending or mad that he is cutting......
  10. Can the courts ask where the money is coming from?
  11. God you don't read do you In a message posted to X late Monday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said fewer than 400 FAA employees were fired and “Zero air traffic controllers and critical safety personnel were let go.”
  12. I didn't see a question, only a statement., but I'll try I don't think Trump downed NATO. He does not want to be the #1 funding Country, he wants others to, wait for that Democratic talking point "pay their fair share".... NATO would be nothing without us - he is using that to his advantage. We are already great - we could be greater, and that is what trump is working on IMO. I'm not sure how old you are, but I will never forget a few days after 911 Republicans and Democrats came together united as one. The lines were erased and the focus was on protecting America. I was almost in disbelief. I hope to never see that again, because it took an attack on our own soil to make it happen, but we do come together when we have to.
  13. The SOD laid it out pretty good on I believe an X post. He said while it could be called a cut, it was more of reassigning funds from non-lethal DEI projects to lethal priorities or training and supplies. He also listed things that would not be on the table. It sounded good to me.
  14. These people really think Elon is rolling up his sleeves and making these cuts all by himself.......and if you listen to CNN, that is the impression they are giving...... I was channel flipping last night and it is back to his first term where all CNN focuses on is negative Trump. The host and 4 guest all hate Trump, they ask each other loaded questions and complain about Trump..... They have not learned
  15. As well as replacing tanks, vehicles and ammunition they have lost over the last 3 years in Ukraine....
  16. Elon does not have the power to cut anything........ He makes suggestions.....the actual departments do the cutting
  17. Not everyone, but the average salary in USA is $56,000. A single man making 56K, taking standard deduction would owe $4700 in taxes every year. If we can agree that the waste has been going on for AT LEAST 2 years, the average person would have paid $9400 in taxes, so a one time 8K refund would seem reasonable. In normal circumstances I would say no way anyone is getting a refund........but this is Trump, nothing is off the table lol
  18. Russia never claimed to be.....see the difference? I doubt it..... 30 days in and at least there are talks.....Biden did what?
  19. Corrections & amplifications: This article was updated to reflect Patel’s written testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, in which he said he would decline to accept stock issued by Trump Media. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said he received it.
  20. Hey Einstein - Where are the criminal charges if it is so simple that YOU could figure it out?
  21. A tax refund is not free money.....it's a refund UNLESS, with child credits you get back more than you paid in......that is free money
  22. Why do they want to cut should be the question. If they want to cut building ships, tanks, boots on the ground, etc.....I disagree no matter who suggest it. If they want to cut waste AFTER an audit determining waste, then I'm for it. The never Trumpers are looking for anyway to disagree with everything this administration is doing, but when you look at just about any poll, the majority of Americans like the approach Trump and the Republicans are taking. Latest CNN poll of people who self identify as Dem vs Rep: 2017 Democrats +5 2021 Democrats +6 Feb: 2025 - Republicans +2 (that's an 8 point swing, pretty easy math)
  23. Republicans are finally catching on to what Democrats have been promising for years - free stuff This, however, if done correctly should be given to everyone that PAID taxes as a refund for overspending. If you got back more than you paid in, you should get nothing.
  24. All for nothing......I'm sure Elon will not have a problem answering a subpoena from Patel requesting X and Twitter records that were once public.
