This bill taxes the middles and lowers class

Link? I thought it's only over people who make 400k?

lowers the US economy, costs jobs

Link? The few reports on this so far do not claim this.

His links are Faux News, Newsmaga, Oan, etc. Wouldn't be surprised if he followed breitbart and jones either.

Here's one from the daily mail, citing a non-partisan report.

A Republican wanted to introduce an amendment to restrict the newly weaponized IRS from targeting those making under 400K. Every single Democratic senator voted it down.

The White House is completing more sections of former President Donald Trump’s border wall, with the Department of Homeland Security closing four gaps in the barrier near Yuma, Ariz., that have become a major migrant thoroughfare.

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas authorized Customs and Border Protection Thursday to seal the openings near the Morelos Dam just west of downtown Yuma.

The department said the area “presents safety and life hazard risks for migrants attempting to cross into the United States where there is a risk of drownings and injuries from falls. This area also poses a life and safety risk to first responders and agents responding to incidents in this area.”

The dam sits in a section of the border that runs north-south along the Colorado River before turning on an east-west track at the California-Arizona state line.

Border officials have reported 235,230 migrant encounters in the Border Patrol’s Yuma Sector since Oct. 1 of last year. Only the Del Rio (326,177) and Rio Grande Valley (377,194) sectors have reported more encounters in the same period.

...

Earlier this month, the departmentapproved similar border wall constructionto replace a “deteriorated barrier” located near the cross-border Friendship Park in Imperial Beach, Calif.

They're very quiet about this, it's costing billions, it's a blatant flip-flop, and border security isn't a hot button issue this election. The only reason I can see for them to do this is because it's effective policy.

I guess we'll just ignore the over 1 million voters that switched their registration to GOP last year

When you subtract the 630,000 that switched to Democrat the number isn't that large.

As far as party switches go, it's pretty significant, particularly for the GOP. It's writing on the wall. Also, demographics were most pronounced in the suburbs where the dems made their biggest gains last election.

And these switches happened before the GOP went anti women.

Anti abortion, but glad dems finally figured out what a woman is lol.

Has happened before, with many Ubi titles. Driver: SF had this issue (one of the few Ubi games I like), and I got around it with third party key reseller.

The whole point is, Japan doesn't have low violence because of gun laws. It's because of many other cultural factors. Many of which would be considered far too socially conservative for most of the folks on this board who screech about gun control.

The problem with this line of argument is that Western European countries are culturally similar to America, with similar individualistic values. Yet European countries also have much lower homicide rates than the US. The difference lies in gun control, as much as Republicans want to deny it. Republicans might be able to fool Americans who are ignorant of the world outside America, but the lie is easy to see for those of us living outside America.

There are a lot more factors here than just gun laws. There are issues of drug laws, criminal justice among others, but it comes down to demography more than anything. Of all the 3,000 counties in America, the majority of murders happen in just a few dozen of them.

New Hampshire has the most lax gun laws in the nation, and has a per capita murder rate lower than most European nations. Idaho and Vermont are similar, so that's around 4 million Americans who live exceptionally peaceful lives with little gun control. Contrast that with Illinois, an incredibly urban state with very strict gun control, and has a murder rate similar to the Congo.

Looks like the dude made his own gun. The gun let off a ton of smoke when he fired it, so he likely made his own ammo as well.

Looks like a whole lot of nothing, like many of his executive orders. The fact that he's pressing so hard for people to vote shows how little confidence he has in his admirations ability to do anything about this without the support of congress.

Game-wise, it was pretty bad. The game had nothing going for it, other than some personality that would no doubt be seen as super problematic by todays standards.

The best I can hope for is that edgy personality to be retained, so I can read some funny cope and seethe reviews, then eventually play the game when it's on sale or game pass or whatever, similar to Postal 4

@LJS9502_basic: Keyword "original". TOS was hardly woke. They wouldn't even allow female captains back then.
