under trump’s project 2025, a middle-class family with two children would pay $2,600 in additional federal income tax by comparison, a married couple with two children and earnings of $5 million a year would enjoy a $325,000 tax cut

Project 2025 would overhaul the U.S. tax system. Here's how it could impact you.www.cbsnews.com Project 2025, a blueprint for the next Republican president, proposes major economic changes that could impact millions of Americans.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

We can go harder, America.

my favourite thing is when i have to explain that toronto had a terrible mayor named rob ford that once smoked crack in office and then died shortly after and because our province is so smart, the voters of ontario then elected his brother, doug ford, conservative party leader, to run the province

It's like Amy looked right into my clueless soul.

the sheer volume of drama on here makes me so grateful that I am a mature, well-adjusted dumbass who can’t keep up

He didn't change his mind on Trump; he changed his mind on Hitler.

JD Vance said Trump would be America's Hitler back in 2016. He's obviously changed his mind. I wonder what did it? Was it the storming of the US Capitol to try to stay in power? Was it the detention camps at which children were separated from their parents? Was it his criticism of "globalists?"

Hadn’t realized Vance was a Catholic convert. There really is no reliably worse type in US politics and its chattering classes than evangelical Protestants who convert for intellectual respectability and the smell of incense but who remain at bottom small-minded, mean, intensely individualist jerks.

wine mom memes about what would ordinarily be treated like a horrible tragedy...there's something in the air and it isn't good for the Trump ticket

my mom put this in my whole family group chat last night

"Really, I'm the best Palestinian. Everyone is saying so."

A very Trumpian comment.

This is a tempting thing for people to believe but I am pretty skeptical of the idea that nothing would be different if the sole superpower in the world, which provides more that 60% of all of Israel's imported military equipment and protects it at the UN without conditions, didn't do that.

it's not that he's changed his mind about trump, really. it's more that he's changed his mind about hitler.

I get that he’s taken it all back, including when he said he feared Trump would be America’s Hitler, but I guess my position is… I have never gone to work for someone I’ve ever in any point in my life compared directly to Adolf Hitler… and it’s a fair question… www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

A fun fact about JD Vance is that he's openly backed purging anyone who disagrees with him from the government, comparing it to "de-Nazification," and illegally defying court orders to do so.

As someone else On Here said, we're now voting on whether or not we want Vance to be the president for the next 30 years.

Why is Vance's tie so ridiculously short? It's like, has he even seen his god-king?

I’ve made a lot of jokes about the J.D. Vance sparkling water story from Hillbilly Elegy, to the extent that it probably sounds made up, but you owe it to yourself to read the real thing if you haven’t

again it is just staggering what a biased media environment Trump enjoys. the average mainstream article is not just pro-Trump but wildly dishonest about the stakes of the election

they think they're going to win easily and Vance is going to be president for the next 30 years

Here’s the thing about the Vance pick: it’s probably unhelpful in electoral terms. But, in terms of governance, it’s further evidence that they’re Going For It. Trump 1 was hobbled in his authoritarian attempt by the admin and GOP. Trump 2 will be aided by both. They’re gonna go for it.

Once I started using "what outcome would be personally most annoying to me, a normal person?" as my heuristic, a lot of this stuff became easier to predict.

Genius.

Since J.D. Vance is announced as Trump's VP pick, now's a good time for me to reveal that Vance has been pictured with the Proud Boys, with members bragging about having met them.
