Closer still to no taxes on anything

Trump [describes “very knowledgeable man” about the auto industry who he won’t name so as not to embarrass him] “he said where did you come up with that idea? That’s like the coolest thhh, it’s like the paper clip … somebody came up with the paper clip and everybody else says why the hell didn’t I think of that … but he said, gee, I’ve been in the car industry all my life and I never thought about that”

Who's going to tell him that banks would just raise interest rates and rake in more $$ because this will not appreciably increase the supply of cars, but will appreciably increase the demand for car loans? Oh who am I kidding, as if he cares.

If he promises no taxes on RMDs and Roth IRA conversions I may have to join HeelYeah and vote for Trump...
 
But he's not really saying it to be heard by folks in Detroit. He knows he's not winning Detroit. He's saying it to folks around the country who see Detroit as an urban hellscape.
This, exactly. Except not really around the country. I mean, that's an added bonus, but the primary audience is the Detroit suburbs. It's also code, of course, for Kamala being black.

True, but he’s trying to win Michigan. Firing up the opposition in the biggest city in the state to get out and vote against you is probably not a great strategy.

I could be wrong, but I think politics in Michigan is the same as in Missouri, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, etc. The way to win the state as a Republican is to run against the black people in the cities. They try to make everything into Detroit, Cleveland, Philly, etc. because they know those words mean "black." I'm confident that Trump will lose few votes in Michigan with that comment. Will it spur black people in Detroit to turn out? I doubt it.

This is yuge for all the millions and millions of people in the venn diagram overlap of "spends large percentage of income on car loan interest" and "itemizes deductions". Sounds like it will revolutionize the auto industry.
 
In 2008, I voted early because between the start of early voting and election day, I was undergoing an operation that had a 10-day survival rate that not nearly as high as I would have liked. I was really bummed when I found out that the election folks actually check to determine if early voters survived until election day. But I did survive, and on Election night my brother and I stayed up until around 4 am, despite the election have been called for Obama earlier. We were staying up to see in Obama would carry NC. HE DID!
I remember Chris Rock saying about that election.” George Bush has fucked up so bad he’s made it impossible for a white msn team get elected.”

When is he going to promise us a second recess period and a second soda machine in the cafeteria?
 
Obviously they can't in good faith but the MAGA PTB know that an alarming percentage of the American electorate can't put two and two together and don't know how anything works. Therefore, they're able to effectively campaign on both and the dumb dumbs eat it up.
Yeah, Trump and some other Trumper Republicans have been saying totally contradictory things in their campaign rallies, and they don't care because they've realized that no one is going to call them out on it, and their base simply doesn't care. Propose budget-busting tax cuts and then still claim that you're going to balance the budget, etc.

Yep, we see these conflicting (and false) MAGA talking points all the time with zero consequences.

January 6th was a peaceful tour of the Capitol, but also the violent Insurrection of January 6th was carried out by Antifa and the FBI.

FEMA was nowhere to be found during the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in Western NC, but also FEMA was confiscating charitable goods and arresting Good Samaritans during the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in Western NC.

Etc.
 
First canvasser at my door here in Raleigh was from the Trump team. I told the dude right off that I’m voting for Kamala, but I guess because I’m a white dude with a country accent he thought I could be convinced.

He went hard on talking about killing babies and cutting off genitals. I was more than happy to have him waste his time talking to me. He presented no arguments as to why I should vote for Trump other than Dems are killing babies and cutting off kids’ genitals.
