Here are 11 things Trump has promised to carry out on Day 1 of his presidency

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I love how dumbass trumpers, like the one above me and Jaysecrets, see these types of electoral maps of the US and think they have an overwhelmingly clear voting majority.
They've been doing this for years. 'one county one vote' makes them look bigger.

If you factor in population density you have a much better view of the slim majority they hold.
 
Interesting tidbit from this past weekend.

I honestly thought the elderly dotard would stuff his "no tax on tips" campaign promise down the first convenient rabbit hole at his earliest opportunity.

He did not. In fact, he's widely bragging that this will be the centerpiece of his tax reform platform in 2025

This will be enormously expensive to the Treasury in the short term (less tax revenue) AND the person whose income depends on tips in the long term (exempting tipped income from Social Security withholding means much smaller SS benefits at retirement.

How to pay for this expensive Trump boondoggle?

The Devil is in the Details (also in AJ's heart, right alongside his atrial fibrillation, but i digress).
Trump's OMB suggested the following two changes to the tax code to fund "no tax on tips":
  1. Removing the "Single Head Of Household" category from tax filings. You're either single or you're married. Period. So most single moms (who make up the vast majority of 'single head of household' filings) will pay federal income tax at a much higher rate to subsidize folks working for tips. It sucks for the single moms, but hai, they had the choice to stay married and chose to get divorced. Actions have consequences, amiright?
  2. This one is another band new income tax: Treat any and all academic and/or athletic scholarships as TAXABLE INCOME. Those wealthy enough to have mummy and daddy fund their college won't be inconvenienced. Poor people and athletes would bear the burden. Many conservatives feel that there are a disproportionate number of Negroes and other "lesser races" playing Division 1 sports anyway (Rightguide and his "elk"). This action would raise funds for the Treasury and return Division 1 sports to its historical roots of being a "white job". Fewer poor minorities in higher education means a more quote homogenized unquote college experience and lessens the need for diversity sensitivity.
 
AJ mathmatics (sic).
😁 Don't forget, AJ is also a "scientist", specifically a "climate scientist", by dint of his purported minor in college being "computer SCIENCE".

Side note 1: Not unlike HisRapey being qualified to practice medicine, as his diploma specifically says "Juris DOCTOR".)

Side note 2: Bobo's degree was in "GENERAL Studies" (i.e. he used up all of his veteran's benefits staying in school till he squeezed every last penny out of Uncle Sam, the college gifted him a degree and wished him Godspeed). This qualifies him to critique the actions of any/all Generals in the military.

"Words have meaning" he often reminds us.
 
You don’t come around here too often so I’ll take this time to call you a stupid ass.
Nice comeback! I do not come to Lit for politics but I do enjoy seeing the madness here once in a while.
Enjoy the next four years. I certainly am.

I don't doubt at all that you will not enjoy the next 4 years.
The many and numerous failings of trump reflects each and every voter who supported him. You're an unpatriotic American.
And when the shit again hits the fan, which it will, I expect to see even less of you, which is - you will NEVER pop back in here.
 
******* BREAKING NEWS - GREENLAND DECLARES SUPPORT FOR U.S. TAKEOVER *******

You gotta give Uncle Don credit for his absolutely brilliant geopolitical instincts, especially when it comes to his vision of taking over Greenland. Yep, Greenland - the new hype, the IT place to be, the ultimate paradise on Earth, the new Mecca of the North. Basically, it’s the new Florida. Bigger than TikTok, better than Alaska, and definitely more of everything than Denmark.

An astounding 6% of Greenlanders - yes, a truly moving, overwhelming, almost dramatic number - have enthusiastically thrown their support behind the plan to finally become U.S. taxpayers. In a poll released today by Berlingske and Sermitsiaq, these brave souls expressed their desire to join the U.S., seeing Trump as less of a threat than that annual family gathering with the confused aunt.

And honestly, who wants Danes as neighbors? The ones with their mysterious hygge and their smørrebrød instead of proper burgers and Coca-Cola? People who can’t even build decent furniture stores like their Swedish neighbors, and who market their so-called famous culture in cookies packed in ugly metal tins?

Instead of YMCA, Greenland’s streets are now filled with David Bowie’s This Is Not America, as the first cans of the Trump Cookie Edition are being handed out to the public. Make Greenland Great Again.

The US can ask Denmark for more bases.
Denmark, a US ally, would easily allow it.
 
I do not come to Lit for politics but .....
Politics? It’s a wild ride - like they’re taking you from behind, just one big orgy of power, promises, and questionable decisions. Then bam, you’re getting hit from all sides. Congress? Oh, they teach you all about 'pushing boundaries.' And with the Senate? Well, let’s just say you can grab whoever you want, whenever you want. Make America hot again. Finally
 
Dear Trump Supporters: If you support deportation raids that could target schools, then you need to stop pretending that this is about "removing the criminals" and admit that it's about getting brown people out of the country.

I say that as someone who supports border security and believe Democrats did a poor job at addressing the issue. I think border security is important but so, too, is dealing with the complicated nature of illegal immigration. A variable nearly everyone on the right completely ignores or doesn't care about as so-called "good Christians."

In particular, the folks in good standing who've been here most of their lives, many since they were children, who don't know any other country other than the United States.

I'm sorry, but you're a sick, disgusting human being if you're okay with sending someone back to a country they know nothing about when they've lived in the United States the overwhelming majority of their lives and they've been an upstanding member of our society. Again, at that point, it's not about border security -- it's about getting brown people out.

So, don't sit there and try to tell me that this isn't driven by racism and bigotry when your pitch was "we're removing the criminals" -- which we absolutely damn sure should -- while you're open to the idea of sending ICE and other immigration officials into schools to deport human beings.

There aren't "dangerous criminals" in our schools. There are children.

And if you're okay with that, then I never want to hear another damn word out of any of these bottom-feeders that they "care about protecting children." It's sickening enough to see them do absolutely nothing about gun violence while they hold their "pro-life" signs at abortion clinics. Now we can add targeting children in schools for deportation to their list of the levels to which they will not hesitate to stoop to prove just how deplorable they can be.

I get the feeling that President Musk (and DonOld) told a bunch of LIES just to get elected so they could attend to (to benefit) their own legal & financial concerns…

😑
Fascist Trump and his Oligarch buddies!
What’s the difference between Trump and Putin, besides Trump not being able to speak Russian?
