Kennedy to endorse Trump?????

Part of Kennedy's calculation to exit the race and look for a position with a Trump regime is his $$$ might be drying up.

Just read that Tim Mellon, the billionaire that gave $15M to Kennedy's campaign startup, has now shifted his donations wholeheartedly to Trump SuperPacs. As of today, following a recent $50M given to Trump, Mellon has donated >$75M in total for DJT.

I guess those promised tax cuts to the wealthiest Mericans really do have an effect.
Approximately 60% of Americans have a 401K retirement account and many own IRAs, mutual funds, stocks, bonds, real estate, etc. Not all these individuals earn > $400k per year, so when Kamala crazily starts taxing unrealized gains, it will impact/hurt more than just the “wealthiest” Americans. Also, the stock market will be adversely impacted by such a crazy tax structure.

You realize you are talking to a guy who said Russia was just doing war games and concerns and warnings it was for invasion of Ukraine was just the Biden administration trying to distract from inflation.
I made clear that I was 100% skeptical of neocon claims and provided my reasoning.

The Russians had engaged in wargames in prior months and years where they deployed (even larger) contingents to the Ukrainian border, without it turning into an actual invasion. In those posts I sourced the contemporary news accounts of those buildups, and further pointed out, again with sourcing, that the Ukrainians themselves discounted the immediate nature of the threat.

e.g.
Kyiv, Ukraine CNN —
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday other world leaders have been overstating the likelihood of war between his country and Russia, causing “panic” and destabilizing Kyiv’s economy.

I certainly considered it plausible that the neocons in the White House, eager to get both inflation and the Taliban out of the headlines, would be eager to make news of anything else. If they raised alarm over Russia's build up (to a degree we certainly never saw in previous similar situations), and the Russians went home after exercises (as they had in previous situations, which I cited from contemporary news accounts), then the WH could declare 'victory'.

I agreed with Merkel and the long list of others who thought that Russia would view overtures to Ukraine to join NATO as a 'declaration of war'. But I didn't appreciate at the time what was the final straw.

In hindsight, the meeting and announcement in September 2021 (Joint Statement on the U.S.-Ukraine Strategic Partnership) between the White House and Ukraine is when the Russians set things in motion. There was the attempt in December by the Russians to establish a U.N. treaty affirming Ukraine's neutral status, but it was rebuffed.

We'll see what the final peace holds in that regard.

Withdrawls from 401K and IRAs are taxed as ordinary income.

You don't know what you're talking about.
 
Not a rapist
Well, I guess that’s a start, although Kamala slept her way up the ladder. 🤔 The Dems strategy has simply been to trash Trump. Kamala will eventually have to articulate her own policies/plans….then she is toast.

That's a lot of voters to sleep with. You have any documentation on that?

Policies have been articulated.
 
That's not the part that is wrong. The tax on unrealized gains applies to non-retirement accounts. 401Ks and IRAs are not taxed until a withdrawl is made and are at ordinary income levels, not capital gains.
That’s the current law; however, for Kamala to raise $5 trillion more for all her other crazy ideas, she will want to tax ALL capital gains. Heck, I wouldn’t put it past her to try to tax annual home appreciation.
 
Might also show how desperate DJT is.

Kennedy's running mate is Nicole Shanahan, estimated to have a net worth >$1B.
I think it could be about Trump needing campaign funding and Shanahan being promised something?
And the Dems don’t do the same things?
RFK is polling around 5%. If 1% break towards Harris, 2% don’t vote, and 2% vote for Trump that is VERY bad news for the good guys.

This is a very big deal, and not in a good way. RFK is a friggin idiot who hates liberals. Who do you think his follower’s second choice is going to be?
Hope you’re correct.
 
Every politician moves closer to the middle as the general election approaches.
EVERY SINGLE ONE

You'll see.
However, if Kamala were to win, she would simply revert back to her leftist ways. At least Bill Clinton became more moderate during his term in office.

Employer(s) not “voters” slept with. 😉 I guess we do know a few of her policies: price controls (to try to offset perceived price gouging) which won’t work, not taxing tips (idea she copied from Trump), taxing unrealized gains, open borders, and abortions for all.

Totally, but "sleeping up the ladder" isn't rape. Trump raped a woman. He also has committed dozens of felonies and he isn't "toast" yet. But you say Kamala will be "toast" when she has to articulate her own policies/plans. Do you see where I'm going with this? Why do you hold her to a higher standard than the candidate you love, Trump?

It's pretty sad that you believe a rapist felon who can't articulate anything other than a McDonalds order has a better chance than someone that has policies you don't like.

Anyways, this was a great conversation. People like you will argue about anything when it comes to someone bad mouthing Daddy Trump and I'll give you props for never giving up. Keep up the good fight, Hans!

Because I’m mainly concerned about policies. I don’t care if you, or anyone, “bad mouths” Trump…I’m sure he can take it. You keep up the good fight for Kamala. 😳

I'm not fighting for Kamala I'm just against corrupt, piece of shit, criminals running our country. Which surprisingly you seem ok with as long as they have "policies" that you like.

Weird.

Trump doesn't really have policies or beliefs, does he? He views everything as to what will benefit him the most. In April he badmouthed Kennedy nonstop, now he's gladly accepting his help. Tell me the issue those 2 have in common?

Obviously "compromise," is a word that is too long to be found in your vocabulary!
 
Far left socialist is the current dog whistle.
I don't hear "socialism" being mentioned much by the right these days. They beat that one to death before catching on that when people listened to folks like Bernie, they realized that socialism has some appeal. So now it's "communism" and "marxism" and "extremism" - and much less "socialism."

The problem is that while "socialism" might slightly apply to some Dems, the other epithets really don't. So they sound like they are flailing and exaggerating. Which they are.

Not that that will stop Trump and the Rs. Their 24/7 operation is to throw crap at the wall to see what sticks.

Ya boy, price controls and wealth conscription are as American as apple pie and hayloft sex!!

You don't have capital gains on retirement income. That's the point.

Hmmmm.... who were they? Or is this something else made up by the right wing that you're running with? And what are the "price control" proposals?

The Democrats have long been for not taxing tips. Taxing unrealized gains is not a policy proposal. Open borders is another right wing fallacy as is "abortions for all".

You are very gullible.

Well in his speech today he talked about the lawfare against Trump, the censorship of speech and social media, propaganda media, democracy overridden selecting kamala. Just Google it, it's all in there what issues he has and they line up with trump beliefs.

Tell me... When does Trump actually start articulating a plan for anything? He's already had 4 years and didn't come up with anything other than committing felonies and penning hundreds of midnight shitter tweets.
