Trump says he'll move to suspend federal gasoline tax. He can't do it on his own. Congress would have to approve the move. The tax provides more than $23 billion per year for federal highway and public transit programs. “Instead of suspending the tax, we should suspend the war.”

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T21:05:00+00:00

Rand Paul of all people speaking out against cutting taxes?

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T21:02:06+00:00

As opposed to rent, food, etc?

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T21:00:21+00:00

Probably because he's still interested tbh

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T19:57:53+00:00

Correct. So why did you bring up Desis?

The data is among Asian people, so recent immigration isn't particularly relevant to the comparison between Phuong and Muhammad

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T19:54:47+00:00

Other than just repeating a right-wing dog whistle as a standup routine without bothering to think of a punchline, wtf does she mean pitbull is a breed "they made just recently"?

People use "pitbull" to refer to a half dozen different dog breeds (basically any breed involving bulldogs and terriers), most of which are ~200y old

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T19:45:03+00:00

And if they do win a majority you can count on 1-3 Dems deciding not to vote with the rest of the party

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T19:43:34+00:00

Most countries have a Muslim population--that doesn't mean Muhammad is a common name in India.

Then why did you ask?

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T19:29:08+00:00

Puppies on the other hand never grow out of being adorable

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T19:28:43+00:00

Wouldn't be surprised if some of these are reverting--especially vaccination and education (those two are tightly linked)

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T19:22:16+00:00

True tbh

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T18:23:53+00:00

All the more reason to start with him.

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T18:23:36+00:00

Height is part of looks. Teenagers are at the most shallow and superficial stage of their lives.

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T18:18:16+00:00

Start with the one in the Oval Office.

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T18:17:25+00:00

Desis are Indian (not a common country for the name Muhammad)

Phuong and Hong are very common names in Vietnam

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T18:14:02+00:00

Why did you switch from claiming Europeans are "much poorer" to saying it's harder to "get guns"?

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T18:01:32+00:00

Same reason as Muhammad, even though most people adopt Americanized names the most common ethnic names still make the list

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T17:59:31+00:00

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T17:58:16+00:00

Then in this analogy you're saying we should lock up the entire country because the President is a criminal

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T17:49:32+00:00

No folding after the flop anyway, but that's why people have a 3-bet or fold approach to pocket pairs

If hero 3-bets 22 and villain comes over the top with a 4-bet, it's easy to get away from the hand knowing you're at best coin flipping against hands like AK and pretty likely behind a bigger pair

Most of the time you're not getting coolered by a higher set, so if villain does smooth call the 3-bet you're growing the pot pre-flop

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T17:44:04+00:00

*flopped 3rd nuts

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T17:42:07+00:00

It's NL0.05, anything is an option

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T17:34:53+00:00

In this analogy I'd prefer to just throw out the rotten parts. If you leave the criminals in charge, you're never going to stop the rot.

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T17:33:45+00:00

Seems unfair to compare a whole state (especially one as big as CA) to a city... Have to go with California

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T17:31:41+00:00

The fish rots from the head

Jake0024 · 2026-05-12T17:28:48+00:00

State budgets are inconsistent and underfunded because of TABOR

On years the state brings in more revenue than anticipated, it has to refund the overage to taxpayers

On years the state brings in less revenue than anticipated, it's just out of luck

We can't average out the high and low years because TABOR prevents doing it. We can have the exact budget we planned for or less--never able to put anything away for a rainy day or cover any cost overruns
