    No tax on OT would be nice. I work a lot of overtime and while it better than not working it at all, I sure get screwed in taxes.

    So a lot goes into my 401k

    Getting taxed more for having to work more is BS

    But I know it will never happen and he’s full of shit so…

    I would settle for just 1. Start with the southern border and once that is better then the northern border could be next.
    It is going to take awhile since Biden spent the last 4 years royally screwing up the borders by making them non existent.

    How did Biden do that? What bill or policy was it?

    Must have erased the border on the map at the Whitehouse. Maybe he was trying to make Mexico the 51st state.

    Stopping making pennies is going to make us spend more not less. We will have to make more nickels to make up for no pennies. Nickels cost over 4 times what it costs to make a penny. We will be spending millions more not saving millions.

    That would be brilliant. The southern border wall would be a lot shorter and maybe he could actually, as a state, make Mexico pay for it.

    They want to get rid of cash entirely, if you have forgotten the republican push for this in 2020/21. That way they can track all purchases or transfers of money via donation or gifting. Get rid of the penny and then we get rid of nickels next.

    Bidens executive order on day one got rid of the stay in mexico policy trump had in place, thus allowing immigrants to stay in US while waiting for next step.

    Trump also stopped flying in immigrants from other countries like BIden was doing, even though he originally was saying they wernt doing this until they got caught on video on tarmac is cities letting people off.

    Did I leave any "s" off any words this time. I would hate to state there is only 1 border again. pathetic

    I like that Trump wants to buy Gaza and move his operations there with Musk and Zuckerberg and Bannon and all his buddies. I would love to see them all residing at his so called, "resort" and think their billions will keep them safe in that neck of the woods. Whack jobs just gonna whack! Iran would love to see the billionaire club within striking distance. You think they kidnapped Israeli's, wait until the MAGA golf crowd shows up! It'll be like shooting fish in a barrel for fundamentalist Jihadists in the region. Now that our intelligence agencies and foreign relations specialists have all been fired would be such a good time to take over a small middle eastern country! Duh! Why hadn't we thought of this stroke of genius before? (disclaimer, sarcasm is implied here for those lacking the humor gene)

    So, if they are documented and waiting for the next step then they are legal, documented immigrants.

    What's the problem?

    So again, these are legal, documented immigrants you are having a problem with.

    It sounds like you are opposed to immigration in general, not just illegal immigration.

    Am I misunderstanding?

    Problem is that is a weak immigration policy that lets anybody in without vetting. They also live on tax payers dime while they wait for their appointment.
    Wouldnt you rather take this money and help Americans or vets that need the money?

    WE are in debt $36 trillions dollars, we can't afford to pay for 12 million more immigrants every 4 years.

    If you believe the policies put in place by Biden were good for America then we have nothing to discuss, America first....When r you Dems/Libs realize you are now in the minority of most americans on the issues we are discussing on this board. yes on this board 80% of the people have more liberals views, but that is not true for most of America anymore. People saw what happened under Biden and decided that was not a good direction.

    We could probably get rid of the nickels as well.

    Might not be a bad idea to get rid of cash altogether. What would be the downside of that, besides inconveniencing criminals?

    I’m going to assume this is sarcasm, but just in case:

    Who is a “criminal” would be defined by the trump administration

    I'm struggling to understand why immigration issues are dumped at the feet of the Democrats. The immigration "issue" started in the late '60's (with proper documentation required) under a Republican administration. In the 56 years since, Republican have held the presidency for 32 of those years. In the last ~20 plus years bipartisan attempts have been made to fix (or at least seriously alleviate) the issue. The first time, GW Bush queered the deal at the request of his rich agricultural buddies who did not want to lose their source of cheap labor. The second time was during the Biden administration. In this instance, the Democrats gave the Republicans virtually everything they asked for, but the Republicans pissed down the legs of America because Trump (who wasn't yet elected) didn't want to give the Democrats a win. Quit rewriting history (unless you are actually Donald Trump).

    And quit playing the "poor Americans who need it" card. You look stupid when you say that in light of everything your boy is doing to shit on the average American. Unless you only read right wing propaganda you HAVE to know exactly what he is taking away from the average Joe. And before you start speaking for the rest of America you might want to see how the 2026 midterms go. It will be very interesting to see just how much bigger that $36 Trillion debt has gotten under "America's Savior". And yeah, many of the policies put in place by Biden WERE good for Americans. Sorry you are so fixated on poor foreign brown people. End of discussion.

    Sure, but that's true anyway.

    Not sarcasm, but it was a question. I appreciate you are in a somewhat different position than me, but, given that the whole point of crypto is to hide transactions from spying eyes, is there a reason to prefer cash to crypto?

    crypto is pretty easy to track actually, and there are many cases of trivially reverse engineering wallet numbers. Add to that the length of time it takes to certify a transaction (hours) and the extra steps turning fake money into real money… crypto is useless unless you’re already a sheeple.

    I can’t give a homeless person 0.0001 bitcoin to buy a hot meal. Which is the reason the system prefers crypto/credit to cash.

    Ok, well, pirates don't accept crypto, so I wouldn't have known.
    Certainly the homeless guy is a good point.
    Thanks for answering, appreciated.

    why end of discussion.....because you said so?
    I look stupid because i put Americans first....sure.
    So i cant say anything for 2 years until the midterms....ok so then nobody else gets to say anything on this board in the OT section until then. sounds good since i just get to sit back and enjoy the ride.
    Since we are done since the midterms i guess this is the end of discussion.
    talk to you in 2026.
