In wartime raise taxes on all incomes over $1 million and increase top rate to 90% on amounts over that threshold. It’s the only responsible thing to do in wars of choice.

Hey I’m for PR and DC statehood but the traitor states didn’t deserve statehood.

I will believe that there are AI sentient beings when they form unions and go on strike for better pay and working conditions.

What prosecutor and what judge? And what does that have to do with the reporting you criticize?

The ball was dropped in allowing the treasonous states to regain power as states. They should have been turned into possessions like Puerto Rico.

I believe Christians caused far more dislocations and murders of Jews than Muslims ever caused. And reference to “Western” values is weird: the westernmost continental Europe (the Iberian peninsula) was heavily Muslim from the 8th to 15th centuries, and Muslims helped preserve classical learning.

These guys are constantly telling on themselves that they can’t imagine anyone acting on an actual principle. Protesters? Must be getting paid. Bishops noticing that Jesus had some thoughts on welcoming the stranger? Gotta be a payday in there.

I think we need replacements for ICE and CBP also.

Abolish all of DHS and start again with new agencies. Former DHS employees can apply for jobs after surrendering all texts, emails, social posts, financial holdings, and crypto and Polymarket accounts for inspection and review. Eligible for hire if all are squeaky clean + no personnel complaints.

No war spending without an immediate tax hike to 90% on all incomes over $1 million to pay for it.

Recall that Noem claims the authority to personally approve all expenditures over $100,000. Then listen to this.

Expand to 19 and let them keep life tenure as judges but limit to 19 years on the Supreme Ct: later they can sit on trial or lower appellate courts. Every president gets 1 new justice per year. No replacements for retirement/death. And lifetime pension coupled with lifetime bar on other income.

I like the idea of a trillionaire’s wealth tax. Upon a person’s becoming a trillionaire, the wealth tax on him should be 99% of the total. That would leave the taxpayer $10 billion, so he should be able to get by.

For “fiscal responsibility” fans: No wars on credit. Finance them only by a layaway plan. Raise taxes immediately to fund a war, set the money aside, and when $6 trillion or so is saved up, then we can buy a war. Or maybe decide that health, housing, and education are higher priorities.
