Very simply. Raise their taxes.

Less simply. Remove the cap on social security tax. Tax long term capital gains beyond a certain amount as regular income. Put the top rate income tax closer to 90%. Fix the god damn estate tax situation. Why on god's green earth do the children of Sam Walton occupy so much space on the Forbes 400.

This reminded me of the hit 90s movie Super Mario Bros with John Leguizamo when the lead characters got the goomba guys dancing in the elevator.

Amazing a right winger taking advantage of the social safety net they spend all their time trying to destroy.

It is kind of impressive how wildly unsophisticated the Trump clan is with their scams. I guess if it works on their rube supporters. What I mean is like why bother investing in a real bearded lady when you can just show them a poorly drawn picture of one and charge the same admission.

That Oxy family. Or the whole Panama papers? Or recently all the Boeing execs that ignored or silenced various whistleblowers with regard to the 737 Max.

It was a smart move. You don't just snub a guy that has no problem blasting a guy with some bird shot.

Maybe they did and this was the most acceptable place. I imagine most decent restaurants have rules about fornicating with the furniture, so it really limits your options when you are a known couch fucker.

Would Trump win? (lemmy.world)

If there was a game show like are you smarter than a fifth grader, but instead it is are you smarter than previous President George Bush Jr. and twice impeached previous President Trump is the first contestant would Trump win? So basically who is smarter the 43rd or 45th?

This is so confusing. I thought the DOJ due to the existence of a memo would not charge a sitting president with a crime, period. So why are these republicans wasting tax payer bucks on these investigations?

As far as releasing the tape, just do what they did with the Mueller report and lock it in a tiny room with severely restricted access. The republicans can have a cassette tape of the interview and a record player to listen, but they only get 3 minutes, and no phones or any other recording devices.

You left out the forced rounded corners.

The American fascist party isn't even trying to hide it anymore.

There was a brief record scratch moment when the abortion ban stuff happened, but the trumpers I know got right back on the bandwagon and are now talking "white replacement theory."

I think a fair few of these people don't see the very fine line that Biden is stuck walking. He really doesn't want to see that lobby money head to Trump's campaign. And the people pissed at Biden not doing more for the people in Gaza seem to ignore that the alternative is Trump, who will likely just not care.
