2024 Presidential Race

Well, I think the point is that people in this economic strata argue that they do not "have" the capital gain and so cannot be taxed on it; yet, they use that gain, the very thing they claim not to "have" to in real terms leverage, buy, sell, finance, etc.

In other words, the "I don't actually have it" argument ignores the practical way in which the capital gain is nonetheless deployed and used to benefit him.

It's not much different than taking a home equity loan to make another purchase. Should the federal government start taxing home equity?

Subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation (and party). Suppression of opposition. Dictatorial leadership.

Democrats are good at being told what to do.

 

[Vol423]

I've seen enough. Harris will be the 47th POTUS

She maybe President of her bridge club.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Sounds complex.

I think she is the only one that can handle it though.... because... she's unburdened.

 

[volsforever27]

What evil lawyer is posting is just the opposite of what I’ve seen on X. It’s all confirmation bias. Nevada is still in play of course, but who knows.

It’s not going to be settled tonight and it’s going to be very close. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

 

[LouderVol]

Oh please.

No rules were broken.

This really sounds like sour grapes.

that doesn't really help your argument when the people theoretically breaking the rules are the ones who make it.

there is a reason authoritarians get away with so much, they write the rules to best fit them. seems like thats what the Dems did here, all while clamoring from the roof tops that they have to defend democracy....by ignoring it.

 

[Orangeburst]

remember when they thought Florida was in play? Even possibly losing Dade County

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Can anyone make this make a little sense for me? I am being genuine, I promise. My entire life you have Election Day and you go to bed knowing who the president is. The end. This was even with antiquated voting strategies. Here we are today already being groomed by every major news source that “results will take a few days to be counted and delivered.” Everyone just accepts this as the norm as if they have short term memory loss. This has never been a thing. Why now?

Because government is too ****ing big and too ****ing powerful and too ****ing corrupt.

 

[tvolsfan]

Good sign for Dems in GA.

Ehh, not sure. A lot of republicans could be showing up to “take their state back.”

Admittedly not familiar with Georgia voting trends, though.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Again you are posting Blue echo chambers. What's the point? The guy you are posting is a Democrat election strategist.

Plus it is a talking point. I saw Nancy, the Great Drunken One talking about how they had the ground game and how it is all about the ground game.

Somebody shoulda told Walz, cause he is talking about running the pick 6.

By what has been…obviously

Evil lawyer is an X posting troll who knowingly posts lies. I think the desperation does tell you a lot about the propaganda the left is inundating the public with. Some of it is psychological warfare.

Not chiming on on the election so this doesn't count ...... BUT, there was a funny discussion of this on Daily Show the other day which was something along the lines of this:

Musk says he wants to buy Twitter. But he does not want to sell his Tesla shares because right now he does not "have" the money for those shares and so is not taxed on them. So he borrows money from others using the Tesla shares -- which he says he does not "have" in order to raise the money, which he then does have, to buy Twitter.

So he essentially converts something he claims never to have actually "had," into something he now "has," to buy shares in another company. Which he later claims he has never actually had.

Funny discussion on The Daily Show??? That IS news.

No, but now we are getting into the whole stepped-up basis issue and I feel like leaving it for another day if okay by you. I responded to your earlier one only because I thought the discussion of it I saw was funny. It was earlier than I thought, 2 years ago apparently.




Start the 1:30 mark.

 

[Kristy*]

Democrats are good at being told what to do.

And how to think.

I think it's a good time to have the discussion since Harris will most likely be the next POTUS and that is one of her key policy issues.

It’s all just to discourage the other side. Remember Kerry and Hillary were leading in exit polling. None of it means anything.

I’m a conservative but this isn’t my first rodeo. It’s going to be a long night.

 

[Carp]

GA hasn't released their voting data on party turnout to my knowledge. But as a couple days ago, early voting turnout in some of the largest Dem counties showed a significant decrease from 2020. Maybe that has changed.

I ain't chiming in on the election until tomorrow but remind me of this and we will discuss.

 

[volsforever27]

If it’s a 270 to 268 vote, I’ve heard some say Florida officials will take it to court due to the census being over counted in some states and under counted in places like Florida.

Drama involving Kentucky.

This election could get very ugly by this weekend if the voter fraud accusers get rallied up.

100% should extend

 

[rekinhavoc]

I am a little confused by some of the posts.

Election day has typically been when Republicans vote. Typically Democrats early vote.

Why is everyone assuming a high turn out on election day is suddenly bad for Republicans?

Why is low Democrat turnout for early voting all of the sudden not a problem?

@RockyTop85 thoughts?

I’m honestly not sure. It seems like something that would get kicked for lack of standing and/or laches (unreasonable delay). But I have absolutely zero knowledge of that substantive area of law.

I didn’t see this before my last post. Oops.
