It's bc the stupid birthday card makes him look bad. Trump is an idiot when it comes to negative shat. He will just lie or deny. When it doesn't matter. He should have just been open about the birthday card and taken his lumps. If anything actionable existed we would already know. And all the people biatching about it know it.

Agreed. His response to a lot of things of crappy. I will say I doubt he personally wrote the card. Likely some assistant. But even then, just own it and move on. He’s bad to think he has to fight on all fronts all the time. But that’s also why he defied the odds to win the presidency again.

But this (Epstein) is going to be the new jfk. People are going to proclaim conspiracy regardless of how much information is ever released because the real story (Epstein was gross and paid a lot of women ranging from teenagers to women in their 20s for sex), will never live up to the story they’ve made up in their minds (there’s a secret list of government pedophiles and they’d bang kids on an island, and they video taped it! And the Israeli government was behind it!)

Now there's a new way to wreck the US economy that you guys haven't tried yet.

The United States could see its population shrink for the first time ever in 2025 as immigration numbers have plummeted, according to a report.

Do you even read the garbage you post?

1. The prediction for a decrease in population according to the graph in the article isn’t until 2070-2080.

2. Nowhere does it mention that this will wreck the economy

Not possible. You can't pay people to have kids. Money isn't the issue.

I’m very open to increasing tax breaks for married couples with children and fully removing tax breaks for single mothers with kids. Increasing tax breaks for IVF. Increasing tax breaks for adoption or even fully subsidizing adoption

But what do you see as the issue? I do think there’s an issue with a culture in general that has falsely taught young women that children and marriage are forms of slavery/oppression

The issue is life is easier if you don't have kids. What's the motivation to have them? Thats how it's viewed. There is a reason pop rates decline the more wealthy a society becomes

I think all trends eventually hit an asymptote. The same way the trend away from religion has been reversing. Younger women are starting to see more and more of the generations above them regretting their lack of children.

But I agree that a lot of the lack of children is a childish form of selfishness. Kids mean having to grow up and take on responsibilities. A whole lot of people want to avoid that

Not a core govt function. Really dont need refundable child tax credits and EITC. Govt shouldnt be paying you to have kids....

Without kids there is nothing to govern. I oppose EITC because it leads to a large number of people getting back more than they earned. But you can incentivize children without that. Incentivize marriage to a greater degree. Incentivize children within marriage. Incentivize IVF.

Govt shouldnt be incentivizing any of this. They should be taking away the EITC, refundable credits and lowering taxes on those actually contributing. Those lower taxes can be used to pay for the IVF, etc...

Sometimes I think you are willfully obtuse in order to outwardly maintain your political beliefs, but this time I'm thinking you really don't comprehend the long term ramifications of ending all immigration with a declining birthrate and and an aging work force.

U.S. Demographic Projections: With and Without Immigration — Penn Wharton Budget Model

U.S. population growth is projected to decline, and the population will become much older over time. Preventing these outcomes will require faster immigration by several multiples of its current rate.

That's why I got tired of this forum. It's 90% nonsense and partisan, unintelligible blabber.

My guess is that you and I would get along just fine at a tailgate this weekend, and we might even be able to discuss political issues in a civil manner over a decent bourbon.

We have about 6 monkeys throwing poo at each other, and it just got old to me. I have so many better things to do. Like focusing on kicking Georgia's ass this weekend.... and if we don't -- enjoying time with friends by feeding them and watching the other games while we listen to music that people argue about and throwing a corn bag around.

I like to bang single moms and I'm telling you they need all the tax breaks they can get cuz I'm not gonna support them outside of providing cookies and benadryl for their rug rats.
