At this point WILL is uncertain, but COULD seems reasonable

Right. It can't be that the Senate was partially funding DHS, minus ICE and border patrol. Because what country needs to enforce its borders, immigration, and customs laws?

Exactly two things he said are true:

  1. We just have to tell it like it is

  2. People with brown skin are more likely to commit violent crimes than white folks are

Everything else was completely delusional, anti-human, debunked, false nonsense; girls do NOT have to get used to penises in their locker rooms and restrooms

No - they have granted themselves nearly unlimited power over us, and we have yet to object, ever, in any meaningful manner

Oh no, homosexuals were insulted - how heartbreakingly horrific - our lives are shattered by just knowing any homosexual anywhere was ever insulted at any time by anyone for any reason

Signed,

White heterosexual male American conservative

(5 groups it's "OK" to insult and threaten at will, in any terms, no matter how vile, vicious and disgusting)

It's good to remember what didn't happen

A statement that is always true :)

They are terrified that the Autopen presidency will be annulled and Trump will get a third term out of it somehow

But more than that, terrified that it will become known they've cheated in every election, and then the jig is up.

Because America is about 75-80% MAGA right now. We're not a country of socialist morons with shit for brains who can't tell a man from a woman and think kindergarteners need fellatio demonstrations from drag queers to learn proper technique

@PaulGoldEagle

The Florida House just voted 80 to 30 to eliminate property taxes for homeowners.

That’s one of the boldest tax moves any state has attempted.

The Florida House Speaker called it "the most aggressive property tax legislation ever passed by a legislative chamber in the history of the United States."

That's not a small claim.

And it didn't come out of nowhere.

Florida homeowners have been getting crushed.

Home values across the state have exploded over the last five years.

A house worth $250,000 in 2019 is assessed at $450,000 today in many counties.

The tax bill followed that number straight up.

For retirees and long term homeowners on fixed incomes, that increase hasn't been gradual.

It's been brutal.

Here's what the proposal actually does.

It gradually increases the homestead exemption by $100,000 annually for ten years, reaching complete elimination of non school property taxes by 2037.

Law enforcement and public safety budgets are constitutionally protected, so they can't be touched.

For a homeowner with a $400,000 property, that's potentially $4,000 to $6,000 back in their pocket every single year.

For retirees who did everything right and are now watching inflation and rising taxes eat through their fixed income, that number is SIGNIFICANT.

Governor DeSantis has been pushing this hard.

He's called property taxes "an oppressive and ineffective form of taxation," arguing that as long as they exist, homeowners are effectively paying rent to the government in perpetuity.

But here's the part nobody's celebrating yet.

Florida collects roughly $14.1 billion annually from the homestead property taxes this proposal would eliminate.

That money currently funds fire departments, police, EMS, road maintenance, school districts, and county infrastructure across the entire state.

Nobody has clearly answered where that money comes from instead.

And there's a twist most people aren't talking about at all.

Economists project that eliminating property taxes could actually INCREASE home values by making ownership significantly cheaper to hold long term.

Which sounds great until you realize that higher home values mean even less affordability for first time buyers who are already completely locked out of this market.

Existing homeowners win.

First time buyers might get squeezed even harder.

There's also a long road ahead before any of this matters.

This still needs Senate approval, which hasn't moved yet.

Then it needs to survive the full legislative session.

Then 60% voter support in a statewide referendum to pass as a constitutional amendment.

That's an incredibly high bar and a lot of places for this to stall, get watered down, or die entirely.

Florida just lit the match.

Whether it starts a revolution or burns the house down is still very much to be determined.

Worries me a little that he was confirmed so quickly.

Exactly. Nothing like Marco's 99-0 FFS, but still. Very odd that they didn't fight tooth and nail, just for the sake of it. Because Trump.

Yes, he has said this a number of times

Either way it's a US territory....just a matter of time

Same with Cuba - like PR, they get to keep their language, culture, flag, etc. but under US control.

Yes but if the deal keeps the regime in power, what about the citizens of Iran who will be butchered by the tens of thousands for waving US and Israeli flags in the streets while celebrating the death of the regime leader...every woman they can find who showed her hair on video can get killed too

Iran already has no defenses as we pound the living shit out of them, so why would nukes be necessary? They aren't. Would be colossal PR nightmare for President Trump, as Iranian populace would turn against him.

I call BS.
