    Don’t forget peeking in on underage girls in the miss teen pageant dressing room. No one can deny he did it because he was the one who said he did it. Crazy town loonies who support this man

    Trump pissed off another musician for using their music.

    Jack White rips Trump campaign for posting band’s song: ‘Don’t even think about using my music you fascists’

    Jack White is blasting former President Trump’s campaign and threatening a lawsuit after an aide to the former president posted a clip that featured a song by The White Stripes.

    “Oh….Don’t even think about using my music you fascists,” White wrote Thursday on Instagram.

    “Law suit coming from my lawyers about this (to add to your five thousand others,)” White, one-half of the rock duo The White Stripes, wrote to his nearly 700,000 followers.

    “And as long as I’m here, a double f‑‑‑ you DonOLD for insulting our nation’s veterans at Arlington you scum,” White said.

    “You should lose every military family’s vote immediately from that if ANYTHING makes sense anymore,” the musician said.

    Unfortunately with my wife and my combined incomes we seem to fall into a tax situation of having to pay every year.
    Not in any way wealthy but we seem to be the earners that fall in between the cracks.
    We paid 7k last year combined federal and state. And we claim 0 and I have elected every pre-tax deduction known to man. And give charitable donations
    I blame Trump and Biden both

    It does not help that I live in a highly taxed state.
    I suspect 250k combined earnings is upper middle class in Texas.
    Up here in NY not so much.

    I'm kind of in no man's land
    If you can guarantee me this will get better for me in 2 years you get my vote.
    But no one can.

    If you elected an all blue house, senate and president it would 100% get better for you.

    Every recession in the last 50 years has been caused by the failed trickle down policies. Every recovery has been led by the Dems.....

    You were just in Ireland I read, that is a social democracy, they have healthcare for all - the only thing missing from our social democracy is national healtcare.

    Here is what is going on right now, we have the GOP lying about inflation, it is not inflation, it is 100% price gouging by unchecked and unregulated corporations.

    Monopolies are supposed to be illegal, but Congress has been paid off to turn the other cheek now 13 corporations own pretty much everything quashing competition, and upping collusion - now why isn't congress breaking them up as monopolies? Because they pay Congress not to do it.

    THAT is the number 1 thing wrong with our country, our GOVERNMENT is paid for by big business, and billionaires, we need a hard reset, and a chance for working people to grow their wealth.

    Are you complaining that you have to pay 25% of your income as tax?

    I am in the same boat as you are and since I do business in California and not only do I pay Minnesota taxes I also pay CA taxes. I certainly don’t enjoy paying taxes and very much think our tax system needs a complete overhaul. Paying slightly more in taxes though is less of a concern about having a former president who several of his cabinet members and closest advisors said is unfit for office and a threat to the Constitution.

    Also to add Trump’s policies are likely to cost me more money as his blanket tariffs will increase prices and his immigration policy will likely increase the cost of construction.

    That is her right to think that way. It is also Trump’s right to show up at Arlington. What isn’t their right is turn it into a campaign event or to use the gravestones of other soldiers who’s families didn’t invite Trump to have those included in photo op.

    It’s also not a right to shove cemetery staff who are just doing their jobs.

    Are you saying you owe $7k after withholding? If you are, your W-4s probably aren't done correctly. There isn't claiming 0 anymore. #1 issue I see in these cases is 3 sources of income or spouses choosing MFJ, but not choosing both spouses working.

    As expected. rumors being spread that the family didn't want this (several posters were doing this here) turned out to be made up lies.

    A few clips from Trump’s disastrous speech in Potterville, Michigan. This man is sick in the head.

    He is unfit to serve our country.

    "Shoving cemetary staff" isn't proven at all. It's always good to wait on these and not jump to conclusions. We had posters saying the family didn't even want him there which was a flat out lie

    Those are four families out of thousands interred at Arlington National Cemetary. Again it's their right to invite Trump and it's Trump's right to attend. They don't get to decide though for all the other families interred at Arlington how the graves of their loved one's are used.

    Also the US Army is backing the employee that was shoved. Are you saying they are lying?

    To reiterate at least one family of someone who is buried at Arlington has said that they didn't approve of this.
    https://www.npr.org/2024/08/29/nx-s1-5092087/trump-arlington-cemetery-altercation-video
    The family of Master Sgt. Andrew Marckesano, a Green Beret who died by suicide after serving multiple combat tours and who is buried in Section 60, said according to their conversations with the cemetery, "the Trump campaign staffers did not adhere to the rules that were set in place for this visit."

    "We hope that those visiting this sacred site understand that there were real people who sacrificed for our freedom and that they are honored and respected and treated accordingly," they said in a statement."

    Also the Trump campaign has claimed to have video that dispels the staff's account of what happened yet haven't released it.

    Families didn't like Trump's photo op.

    The army is backing the claim that the Trump crew shoved the employee at the cemetary.

    It isn't surprising. Trump has a long history of being disrespectful to veterans and their families.

    One clarification.
    Ireland no longer has universal health care for all.
    My wife's family was very vocal that only the immigrants have fully covered health care.
    This is from their mouths. I have not researched this.

    You said a lot but nothing that changes my financial bracket and my taxation.

    That was the crux of my post..
    Respect your response though
