Who is “these people”? Are you trying to imply that Trump supporters are the only people that are so stupid as to commit crimes or attack the police?

This thread was posted about Democrat candidate. You don’t really expect an answer about that do you? Orange Man bad!!

I must have missed something because I saw nothing in the article about the National Anthem. The article also didn’t mention the Pledge of Allegiance. You did nothing but toss up a straw man. The article claims that Kaepernick didn’t think that Blacks could be liberated (whatever that means) under capitalism. He was all for capitalism when he was making millions of dollars from it. I have no clue as to what he feels being liberated means but I am assuming that you are very successful at your career. Apparently Kaepernick doesn’t like that.

Liberation?

RFKjr is still a social liberal but at this point in time that might be a huge relief from the insanity.

He saw the walls closing in and hurried up into a probation for misdemeanors before some heavy prison time could be give. So President Biden’s DOJ cuts a deal to end his son any further investigation with a mere misdemeanor plea.

Obviously there are no plans to build a railway across the Indian Ocean. It really should not take any research to know that we aren’t sinking thousands of pylons 3 miles deep in an ocean. Imagine trying to build a railway 3 miles high above the continental US. If you can’t do it on land…. The point is that he is always out there in La La Land. He was certainly 100% correct in his closing statement, however when he said: ”I can go on, but I’m not. I’m going off-script. I’m going to get in trouble.” Exactly. The guy can barely speak from a teleprompter. How is he going to compose rational thoughts “off-script”? After watching this video, we could all probably agree

He is a Republican in Florida and in fact in the heavily democratic area of Miami yet I believe he won by a landslide. I have nothing to base this on and have not read it but I’m guessing that he is trying to get exposure to be the next governor of Florida. Ron DeSantis is about to be term limited and is running for president so Suarez probably has no expectations of winning the presidential primary, but certainly expectations of getting national exposure and moving him up into a good position to take over for the DeSantis.

And they all look like and act like the aliens in the Mel Gibson movie, Signs.

The witnesses have that said they are chameleons and can apparently also blur their surroundings so as to not make them appear clear. Very convenient..

But it seems to contradict the 8 foot tall alien. In this evidence it seems to be very short. Maybe some were babies.

This newer video is proof. Ñ

This is like the photo of Big Foot so many years so. This blurry photograph is proof!!!

Yeah, it’s a political hot potato so I think the legislature will try hard but any tax eliminated will have to go elsewhere. The “elsewhere” will obviously be the problem. Who else is going to take the hit?

But is that bad or smart? What service are we paying for? Did we get a product? The claimed service was walking around the car to see if your headlights work, your tail lights work and your horn still functions. We can do that for free. If someone is inclined, he can go to the auto shop and pay them money out of his pocket and have the mechanic do the same. In fact, if you go get your oil changed, they want to charge you about $25 extra to do their umpteen point inspection. Coincidental that most lube shops do inspections? We had to go out of our way by taking time out of the day, and at very limited specific locations, with the state to justify a tax. The bottom line is is that they raised taxes without raising taxes. Instead of having to raise taxes elsewhere to increase revenue, they took a pain in the butt chore that we had to face and eliminated it. Two birds with one stone?

That’s what I said. Let me translate my comment for you. “So did they raise taxes and disguise it as a convenience?” Disguised as a convenience. Oh look, no more worrying about the pain in the butt inspections. (and they were) They essentially raised the government revenue stream by taking the money (which they were already charging) without paying anyone else and administrative costs. To make it more simple, they added $7.50 to the cost of registering a vehicle under the guise of being easier on people. Or…. They disguised a new tax as a convenience. And to be fair in the explanation, it is not a new tax because we were paying in anyway. The only change is keeping it all to themselves. You are wrong on the conservative principle however.

You could have cut that down to, the problem is spending. Local, county, state or federal or even school districts, once they decide to spend the money, they are going to get it. The means of taxing will make the people that bear the biggest burden or maybe any burden. No matter how it is shuffled around, we are still going to pay.

So did they raise taxes and disguise it as a convenience?

Yep. My property taxes went down $500 a month!! My annual vehicle registration is now $600 a year, my gasoline costs $250 more per month and my grocery bill after the new sales tax is costing me $400 more monthly….. but I am saving $500 a month on property tax!

It is certainly a more fair way but the sound of income tax is abhorrent to most people so the people of Texas voted in a constitutional amendment that bans income tax.

I have said that for years in another forum and maybe a time or two in this one. An across-the-board consumption tax is a terrible idea for people living paycheck to paycheck and an awesome idea for people who make anything at all more than what they need.

The state has absolute control over local taxes. Local entities can only do what the state allows them to do.

There are two issues in taxes. 1. How much is the state going to take to cover their expenses? 2. Where is it going to come from. Taxes can be from income tax, sales tax, consumption tax, property tax, etc. It will be paid one way or the other or a combination, which is how it is done. Texas can’t use income tax so they have to go elsewhere. They could for example completely eliminate property taxes but get ready for gasoline to go up $1.35 a gallon or sales tax to go up to 30% or…..

Yep. Obviously wearing a life jacket if for unforeseen emergency situations. It isn’t intended a jump in the river at your own choosing for a leisurely swim.

Yeah, I follow your attempt at logic. The 13, 14 and 15 amendments were about slavery. Millions of people immigrated to this country as a beacon of freedom as in the mass of immigrants at Ellis Island and other immigrant processing locations. They were not citizens when they arrived and would have come anyway for a chance at prosperity. Are you suggesting that the world trying to beat a path to America was because their future children might have citizenship? Finally and most importantly, Article I of the Constitution give only Congress the complete authority to regulate immigration and naturalization (citizenship). There was no need for an amendment for birthright citizenship. They could have simply given citizenship to anyone at any time by legislation. They didn’t need the 13 Amendment. By making it an amendment, it could not be taken away from former slaves by future legislation. If the 13 Amendment never existed, Congress could still grant citizenship to anyone it wishes. There was never a need to an amendment to grant citizenship to anyone. The 13, like the 14 and 15, was about correcting the wrongs of slavery, not an incentive to try and lure people to this country…. while people were beating on the door to get in.
