It's not. I actually commented on this before in a different thread. I saw him in a Texas airport last year and he already had a state trooper with him and not a single person was trying to talk to him as he walked. That man is in no danger because his persona is repellent enough to keep people away from him.

How is that proving my point any less? You are absolutely right those fucking billionaires way more than $578k every day and yet the person who pays at 10% is going to feel that tax burden so much more than someone making a million dollars!

This is only tangibly related to your comment, but even before you get the unemphatic part, the regressive taxes alone set rich people apart from poor people. If you make enough money have to pay taxes at the lowest bracket in the US it's 10% taxes with minimum $22k a year income. That is $2200 a year, which is a crazy amount for them to be able afford when someone in the highest tax bracket is paying 37% and it doesn't start until $578k for a single filing. That's about $214k in taxes with about $364k left over to be as empathetic as they want to be with it. It would take the person who is paying 10% in taxes 16.5 years just to make what the person who is making half a million a year makes AFTER TAXES!

It's very hard for either group to be empathetic to the other, but for vastly different reasons.

I am very bad at public math if anyone sees a glaring issue.

I absolutely believe if they could have made the smallest thing stick they would. They probably would do it a second time before the election if the first one fell through. "LOOK AT BIDEN! HE HAS TWO IMPEACHMENTS AS WELL AND JUST AS MANY SENATE CONVICTIONS AS TRUMP"

Re: what's his nuts FBI director coming out and a couple weeks before Nov 2016 with that email scandal that also went absolutely nowhere

I can only imagine how surreal it must feel to try to fight off what is essentially a toy with a grenade strapped to it with a shovel. The shear terror that you know there is a good chance this thing is going to kill you, so you pick up a shovel and pretend there is a chance you might be able to survive this and go home again.

I have no doubts they are going to drag this out until much closer to the election so they can impeach him at some critical moment to get media headlines to sway people into thinking Biden is just as bad as trump.

He probably has the same hairstylist as Ghoulianni as well.

You would think a billionaire could afford a makeup artist that could blend that terrible foundation/spray tanner a little better. Not that he needs it, but the thumbnail makes him look like a sad clown. I hope he's as sad as he looks.

Same, especially on such a serious topic.

I see it now. Must have flown right over my HEAD.
