What is Tommy referring to there? He was interviewed?
He released another vid Friday. Where he said he had proof Panorama was trying to fabricate evidence against him.
Considering how the BBC, the Police etc have treated him in the UK it is believable
umm. I dunno what to think tbh
That SALT thing means states and local govt overtaxing won't cut fed revenue, meaning it's more the local taxes fucking people over. Is what I'm getting correct?
Ann Coulter 40 years younger would be awesome
@Yuukas. Yes. The SALT deduction is an itemized deduction that lets people take the value of their state and local income taxes off the federal income tax. So NY, if you're wealthy enough to bother itemizing deductions, then your 4-9% income tax can be deducted off federal. It used to be unlimited, but now it's capped at 12k for singles and 24k for doubles.
Yes, this means you need to be making more than 133k or 267k (conservative estimate, I don't have the NY tax table in front of me and used 9%) before you hit the limit. Yes, this means people in AK or WA cannot take advantage of the SALT deduction. Yes, this means that the states with the highest income taxes (CA, with 13%, HI, with 11%) are hardest hit. No, you probably won't see a change due to SALT because most people (75%, though congress claims that will go up to 90% under the tax reform bill the other year) claim standard deduction (you need to get all your major receipts from the past year AND those receipts have to sum up to something worth justifying not taking the standard deduction).
tl;dr the people who are paying SALT were already wealthy enough to justify itemizing (or atleast well-positioned) and now they can't ignore that fraction of the federal taxes so they actually have to pay their state income taxes in full. Obviously, the states with large income taxes aren't happy because now they have to face the consequences of those taxes (via the taxpayers).

Most of the SALT deduction complaining stuff is overblown in my opinion. The reform of SALT is more progressive and probably doesn't impact that many people already.
If it benefited more red states than blue states, we'd call it a "tax loophole for the rich"
Of course, if you're getting burned by the SALT reform, you're either a small business owner who's good at working the tax code, or you're wealthier than you want to admit, so maybe think about the next time people talk about "soak the rich" or start complaining about "the 1%"
I think the lying media is attacking the SALT reform on behalf of blue-state governments, not blue-state taxpayers. SALT reform on its own could tip blue states like Cali or Illinois or NY into bankruptcy.
“ Russia’s propaganda machine discovers 2020 democratic candidate Tulsi Gabbard “
On NBC News
NBC dishonestly uses a discredited source ( New Knowledge) to smear an anti war presidential candidate that has fallen out of favor with the DNC. The NYT ( link below) exposed this organization secretly creating fake Russian accounts to propagate its narrative that Putin was backing Roy Moore. Pointing to the very bots they created as proof. Now they’re doing it to Tusli, who resigned from the DNC in protest after they cheated Bernie Sanders.

Yeah I saw Glenn Greenwald debunking it @Exiled Sentinel
So who is lying about crowd sizes of beto vs trump rallies?
I honestly have no idea and I dont understand why people give a crap
Its just an own that's going to last a day
@byathy Glenn is great.
as much as i like greenwald, i've seen him done some extremely shoddy reporting in regards to brazilian politics
@F.Pazuzu nobody is perfect. His reporting on RussiaGate, and the corrupted, incestuious, entanglement of journalism and the Military Industrial Complex is spot on. You can always count of him to call out shady spooks.
Most definitely, I agree wholeheartedly in that regard in particular. But it bums me out that someone that otherwise does great reporting has such a glaring blind spot, especially in regards to the country he lives in as a foreigner, which gives a different perspective. The Gell-Mann amnesia just doens't kick in wiht him, sort of. @Exiled Sentinel
I care less about the sizes. And more so about who is lying (to a greater degree) to fit their agenda.
Ben Shapiro did a pretty good spot on this in his first broadcast today. Showed the entire scenario, and the fact that Trump's rally was being heard at the Beto rally.
@Joe_Limon Bento is the bigger lair here
It seems that way but it would be nice to know by how much.
I am in Texas at the NM/TX boarder and local Police have been asking me to explain and identify QBZ-97 carbines for them
Appropriately titled "Tale of two rallies."
Klavan finally came on. Time to chill for a bit.
Despite being on the right, and shameless republicans, the Daily Wire does a pretty good job about their facts.
@allgoodguy Many will toss it out just because it doesn't tow the CRTL-Left narative
I just take it with a grain of salt, and remember they're openly giving their opinions from a certain point of view. That's true with all of them.
Like Tim, they're not exactly coming from a journalism background.
I know that, read all sides and figure out where the truth is... but I am disheartened by the willful ignorance of self described "Intellectuals" that toss out a view point because they don't agree with it.
Yep
So much Yep
Uh oh...need to find a podcast. Jack Dorsey on Sam Harris' podcast.
Beto is an idiot. His speech in incomprehensible.
BBC spreads fake news about Fox News host claiming that he didn’t wash his hands or believe in germs on their radio broadcast.
https://youtu.be/WTtr-wzIzwY
“ ‘ Germs are not a real thing’: Fox News host says he hasn’t washed hands in 10 years “ on The Guardian
Article lies about Pete Hegseth. Claiming that he seriously “ denies existence of germs”. This was clearly a joke, and Pete has confirmed this. Not that this was needed. Watching the full clip makes this abundantly clear.
