2024 Presidential Election | ELECTION DAY 2024

[Mulberry Heel]

He's going to straight up promise to just pay people to vote for him soon.

The party of conservative principles like small government and opposition to just handing tax money goodies over to people for their support strikes again!

 

[Mulberry Heel]

Holy shit he's DESPERATE.

Indeed. "If you will vote for me, I can promise that you'll receive a free box of a dozen donuts in the parking lot of your polling place!"

They will be delivered by an employee who Vance will awkwardly ask "How long have you worked here?"

Trump also promised a second Coke machine in the school cafeteria as well as a second recess.

Don’t tell Don Jr. there is a Coke machine in elementary schools, or we will need to get a damn restraining order for every elementary school in America.

Taxes, they'll be lower.. son. The democratic vote is right thing to do Philadelphia. So dooo.

I didn't know that there was such a push for each county to only have one school system.

If that's the case, how in the heck does Catawba County still have 3 different school systems?

There are 115 school districts across 100 counties. So 15 extra districts that are within a county, and as you mentioned, two extras within Catawba County.

He’s got Homer Simpson’s vote.

“The first modern presidential race between two candidates with undergraduate degrees in economics hasn’t thrilled economists. Both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have floated bad ideas, including that Nippon Steel’s proposed acquisition of U.S. Steel is a national-security risk, that tip income shouldn’t be taxed, and that grocery prices are currently elevated because of price gouging.

Yet economists are obliged to compare and quantify. In this race, the evaluation is clear: Mr. Trump’s ideas on tariffs, the budget and the Federal Reserve pose a much greater risk to the economy than Ms. Harris’s. …”

Man, if you ever lower the estate tax threshold, there are going to be a lot of rich people getting the plug pulled ASAP.

Eh I doubt it will be that many. Something like 0.08% of estates pay even a cent of estate tax; I think moving the threshold back to the old Obama-era days, which was $5 million then annually adjusted up for inflation (which is technically what will happen if the Trump-era increase of the threshold expires in 2025) would increase the number of estates that pay it to something like 0.2%.

While there is certainly a limit to how much you can cut taxes... there is much greater benefit to the economy to cutting taxes on SS (where most people will spend the extra money) vs. cutting taxes on the rich (where most people will pocket the extra money).

I was thinking about this. If we are going to cut taxes, this is a place to target. But considering SS payments are effectively before tax, I'm ok if the payments are taxed, I guess.

He’s got Homer Simpson’s vote.

Homer would hold out for 2 dozen.

111 Former G.O.P. Officials Back Harris, Calling Trump ‘Unfit to Serve’​

The signatories of a letter endorsing the Democratic vice president included former members of Congress, defense secretaries, C.I.A. directors and other national security officials.

"... The 111 signatories included former officials who served under Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush or George W. Bush. Many of them had previously broken with Mr. Trump, including two former defense secretaries, Chuck Hagel and William S. Cohen; Robert B. Zoellick, a former president of the World Bank; the former C.I.A. directors Michael V. Hayden and William H. Webster; a former director of national intelligence, John D. Negroponte; and former Gov. William F. Weld of Massachusetts. Miles Taylor and Olivia Troye, two Trump administration officials who became vocal critics, also signed.

But a number of Republicans who did not sign a similar letter on behalf of Mr. Biden in 2020 signed the one for Ms. Harris this time, including several former House members, like Charles W. Boustany Jr. of Louisiana, Barbara Comstock of Virginia, Dan Miller of Florida and Bill Paxon of New York. ..."
