I don't get how they don't understand that 45% that votes for them will always vote for them no matter what. They don't need to spread hate when they can literally get more people by just not.

Didn't the first topic say 3?

What's the fare for the subway? Is that worth shooting your own teamies after?

A farebeater who walked through an open subway gate at the Sutter Ave. L subway station in Brooklyn and then pulled out a knife Sunday triggered a harrowing showdown with police that left four injured by gunfire, including one NYPD officer struck by friendly fire, NYPD officials said.

Basically an ideologically crazy person

Honestly the Democrats should want to protect this guy. He is a clown that has total dominance over his own party but can't win the Presidency at this point.

The only thing I really worry about with Trump is his stance on abortion.

Yes. He was doing good and the economy was good but the pandemic derailed everything and he lost.

He literally killed a bipartisan bill, endorsed by some of the most right-leaning Republicans, that would have fixed the immigration problem

I'm genuinely curious what this even means.

So, Where are the GQP cheerleaders calling him out with this declaration

Because i seem to remember ANY time the left joked that Biden should do the same with Right wing states for refusing to go along with any of Bidens policies that they would come in crying about how wrong it is

The nation isn't going to ratify a constitutional amendment to get rid of their voting power and turn over almost every presidential election to the Democrats

to limit the power of high population urban states

The electoral college is specifically set up to allow the minority party to exert power.

Kamala Harris has significantly narrowed the presidential race in Iowa, cutting Donald Trumps lead to 4 percentage points in a dramatic turnaround from Joe Bidens double-digit deficit.

A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows that Trump leads Vice President Harris 47% to 43% among likely Iowa voters a far slimmer margin than the 18-point lead the former Republican president enjoyed over Democratic President Biden in late spring.

the first thing AI would learn from the internet is that people are stupid, so it could easily manipulate us

The robots will only take mercy on the humans who were nice and respectful to them.

The thing is why is it so difficult for both sides to lower food prices?

So why hasn't she been charged with inducing panic?

So Milo tweeted this out regarding Loomer and I'm sorry for the disturbing image y'all.

since Regan was an actor and the president of the SAG union he would of had plenty of gay friends/acquaintances/associates over the years

Confused. How is this bad?

And title is then wrong as it not reducing payments overall to seniors but eliminating them to those who don't it.

The United Kingdom has a welfare benefit called the Winter Fuel Payment (WFP). Despite the name, the payment is not tied to winter fuel. It is just a lump-sum cash benefit paid each winter to individuals who have reached the pension age (currently 66).

For the last 27 years, the WFP has been paid out universally without regard to household income. The current government has decided to change that for the next winter and only pay out the benefit to individuals who receive the means-tested Pension Credit or certain other means-tested benefits. The idea behind this is to save money and lower the government deficit by not paying the benefit to individuals with higher incomes.

This move suffers from the same problem all means testing does. If the UK government believes individuals above a certain income level have too much disposable income, then it can address that problem directly through the tax system rather than assess what amounts to a tax only on elderly people with income above that level. This would be distributively fairer, ensure that fewer individuals fall through the cracks of the benefit system, and be more administratively efficient.

But this move by the new Labour government is also uniquely bizarre. When the government announced that it was going to start paying the WFP only to those receiving the means-tested Pension Credit (or similar benefits), it was pointed out that the Pension Credit, like all means-tested programs, suffers from a non-participation problem: because of the administrative burden involved, not everyone who is eligible for the Pension Credit signs up for it. So this effort to exclude high-income individuals from receiving the WFP is also going to exclude many low-income individuals from receiving the WFP.

The governments response to this critique was to say that it was going to embark upon an aggressive awareness campaign aimed at getting everyone who is eligible for the Pension Credit to sign up for it. The problem with this is that, currently, only 63 percent of people who are eligible for the Pension Credit are signed up for it. If that number were to go to 100 percent, then all of the savings from lower WFP outlays would be offset by higher Pension Credit outlays, negating the whole cost-savings rationale for the WFP cuts to begin with.

Thus, the only way the government can actually reduce the budget deficit from these WFP changes is if the Pension Credit participation rate stays low and low-income people fail to claim the Pension Credit and WFP benefits they are eligible for. It is often alleged that means-testing proponents actually like the fact that the administrative burdens of the tests exclude some poor people because that saves money. But rarely do you ever see it laid out this explicitly.
