"tariff tax" - that's a redundant statement - tariffs are taxes. See: dictionary.

Tell WaPo. Although I’ve experienced a decline in the quality of their reporting since they offered buy outs to senior staff. 

Yes, tariffs/duties are taxes, I believe they actually pre-date income taxes. I think duties were the first "tax" ever levied by the United States. I can actually speak to tariffs with some expert knowledge. It is what I do for a living. You may not like my opinion about them though.

And thank you Kat for the reminder that it is ok to state your opinion and not be attacked. Some of the liberal extremism is just as bad as the conservative extremism. And I am sorry, but any reference to Nazis is misplaced and offensive. The US is not at risk of a dictatorship or a military coup d'é·tat.

Do not hate me for being disenfranchised with the entire political process in our country. That does not mean I cannot appreciate or comprehend the consequences of either candidate being elected, the significance of war, the state of our veterans, the economy, or that I like one candidate over the other.

And for those of you that think I am coming from a high horse of comfort and security, I am not. 2024 was one of the hardest years I have had in my lifetime. Workforce reductions, increasing costs, decreasing benefits, and an IRS tax audit that will cost me thousands. I got a $12,000 bill for an emergency room trip in March after benefits from my so called excellent health insurance coverage that costs 3k a month (pre-tax). An old lady smashed into my car last week. Her insurance sucks because she is on a fixed income and can only afford the bare minimum in NY state. I might have to pay out of pocket (4K) and sue her and her insurance co for reimbursement. Oh and a giant 200 year old tree fell on my townhouse in January. From a neighbors property. Repairs just finished in August and now I am fighting with my insurance company for reimbursement of out of pocket costs in excess of $15,000. My daughter might get into a top 20 university with estimated annual costs of $90K in 2026. Is Trump or Kamala being elected going to help solve these "life problems?" This is what I meant by not really having skin the game. Either one could get elected and it will not really help me, so forgive me for being selfish. I respect all of your positions, and take them to heart. We all have different issues that hit home and that is why we have democracy and why we vote.

I will enjoy reading your comments as the election unfolds. Thanks for reminding me why this is not the right place to have a political discussion without being lambasted when having an opinion that may be different from yours.

If candidates say the same exact things as past Fascist dictators, it's totally fair game to compare them and their supporters to Nazis. I am not the least bit sorry.

joe asks the hard questions? you can't be serious. dude is softer on guests than Palmolive. 

he won't ask anything about J6. He won't ask him about any of his lawsuits or convictions. He'll ask him fluff questions about policy and maybe about Dana White and/or Vince McMahon and won't push back on any answers/non-answers. 

I expect him to ask what he might do differently this time around. T will deflect any questions that might involve legal proceedings. That is SOP for politicians. I think the interview might be better than any debate. We shall see and I hope we get a full two hours. 

i voted today.

for harris.

because fuck trump and fuck maga. this all ends now.

I have a prediction. People who hate Trump will despise the interview with Rogan and pick apart every second. His supporters will think it’s the greatest thing ever. 

or will choose not to watch it because we do not wish to hear that stupid conversation.
