“I didn’t vote for THIS!”

How did the guy that fed people bugs end up being so influential?

Oh right, I guess the idiot loudmouth with a stupid combover was given a game show and then used that to launch himself into the WH, too…

The dumbest fucking timeline. I just don’t get the appeal of Joe. He might come off as “authentic”, but he also comes off as completely uninformed…

Wait? Suspended? Why?

What did he do that was wrong?

If people had as many rights as a corporation, I guess people could “incorporate” in the Cayman Islands or whatever…

I would think the ones pulling down millions would be smart to buy a second home in a state with zero state income tax (if they don’t have one already), and set that as their primary residence.

This Fishback guy’s proposal seems rather short on details anyway and I’m not a lawyer or a tax accountant, but I’m sure there would be ways for the ultrarich OF stars to still spends lots of time in Florida and not pay some “sin tax” because some weird Republican guy is butthurt about OF’s existence…

If that 15% income tax is meant to be federal, I think Sophie Rain would be getting taxed at 37% instead.

I don’t know if the 50% “sin tax” would be something that could be used as a deduction on federal taxes or not.

In any case, this makes the point even more so…especially for someone pulling down 89 million a year. I’m sure not every OF star in Florida is making that kind of bank.

I’m talking about Sophie Rain in particular - who apparently makes several million per year (89 million last year).

It sounds like this dumb idea is proposed by Fishback, a guy currently polling at 3%. So it doesn’t seem likely to pass, but if it did, I would think someone making several million getting singled out by a conservative for extractive state taxes (and just for performative xtian misogynist bullshit), it would make a lot of sense to move.

Good luck, so many people won’t leave even still - “it’s where all the people are, I need to reach people, yadda yadda”.

It’s weird how the current administration is telling on themselves.

Why would anyone who is stating the law about illegal orders be something these guys need to “investigate”? Unless they plan on issuing illegal orders?

LOL, if you do this kind of thing online, the answer would be easy: move the fuck out of such a shitty state.

And yeah, I get it, you’d probably leave behind friends/family, but…if your state is clearly sending you a message that they don’t approve of you, maybe get out and deprive them of any money?

Slur? Are pedophiles and their protectors now a protected class or something?

I remember the (IRL) reaction from a few normies and “independents” (meaning, Republicans that don’t want to admit it): “isn’t that just a conspiracy theory?”

Me: If being able to read the published plans of this group in a PDF they themselves published is a “conspiracy theory”, I guess language has lost its meaning.

I so want to see Pam Bondi on the stand and under oath.

Even better, I’d like to see her mugshots released to the world when she’s arrested. :)

Not only that, but do we actually have reliable data under this failed regime?

Remember, ~21% of American adults are functionally illiterate. Pair that with nearly 1 in 3 adults have rather low-level numeracy ( https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2020/2020025/index.asp ).

I’d not be surprised if low literacy and low numeracy cluster with lack of critical thinking skills and the fundamentals of morality.

Then add in all the many many distractions - celebrity/“influencer” culture, movies, TV, video games, and the old standby: sports and gambling.

It’s no wonder a whole lot of people are tuned out and have no idea what is going on.

I’m curious what other types of lists they are demanding of UPenn.

It’s ironic that, according to the conservatives, you can protest in Iran, but if you protest here, that means you are a “terrorist”.

Meaning they think you have more rights as an Iranian than you do as an American.

Land of the free! Free speech maximalism! etc.

How absolutely pathetic and sad that it’s come to this.

Used to be even the biggest assholes were held in check by some sense of honor and decency and shame.

But now we have this asshole in the WH (again) and since he’s a lame duck he gives even less of a fuck about norms than he did in his first failed term.

Talk about not reading the fucking room.

Was that before or after they were doxxed?

I guess they could take the advice of conservatives everywhere and “self deport”.
