OFFICIAL: Donald Trump thread.

[BERNIE'S CORNER]

Somewhere in a Finnish forest....

Worth noting after recent comments: Retired Adm. William McRaven was reportedly on Hillary Clinton’s short list for Vice President in 2016.

He’s been critical of President @realDonaldTrump— even dating back to the 2016 campaign.

He’s hardly a non-political figure.

Yeah....Gotta love the way he relates.....

He lost the house


That one is good


Most of your other 20,000 memes were crap though

[Lords]

Do what????

Dude, quit obfuscating and trying to score Gotcha! points. I wont ask again.

I need an answer, or silence.

Read the link. Understand it. Learn it.

It says revenue tax now is higher than it was before the Trump tax cuts. It even pointed out the tax revenue is at record levels, which means tax revenue is now higher than it's ever been.

So again I ask, can you explain how tax revenue is higher after tax rate cuts?

If you cannot; then either shut up and stop annoying me, or ask me to explain how it happened and I'll be happy to pass that learned knowledge on to you.

I had to learn the concept myself, and I'm happy to pass along that lesson to those who seek that knowledge.


But I ain't here to play Gotcha! with a superfan.

Comparing FY 2017 to 2018 revenues are up only 0.4% in nominal terms. Revenue should be up much more based on GDP growth, cost of living, work growth, all of which are up correct?
Revenue is down when factoring these additions into the equation
This is one of the lowest revenue growth rates in the passed 50 years according to CRFB.

But lets continue here for shlts and giggles

Now lets factor in growth rates by year under Obama and see where he stood.

First 5 years..

2010: +$58 billion
2011: +$141 billion
2012: +$147 billion
2013: +$325 billion
2014: +$246 billion

Trump (tax cut year)
2018: +$14 billion (0.4%)

^Yearly revenue growth by year, scroll down.

As stated above, this is one of the lowest growth rates in the passed 50 years.



Please don't be an ignorant buffoon when you reply and deny the facts.

Let's move on from this and discuss policy now.

Comparing FY 2017 to 2018 revenues are up only 0.4% in nominal terms.

Finally!!!!

Ok, so we agree revenue is up.

That's a start.

Now for the finish....

Can you explain how tax revenue is up after the tax rates were cut?

Please don't be an ignorant buffoon when you reply and deny the facts.

Dont project, and dont hurl insults.

Both annoy me greatly.

Consider that fair, and last, warning on that nonsense.

Let's move on from this and discuss policy now.

Once you answer the question I will be happy to.

You're not on ignore as some progress was made by you.

You did finally realize that tax revenue is up after the tax cuts.

You're learning, and learning is good.

Now, explain how that happened and I'll be happy to address your question(s).


Now remember, the next response best have an answer, or a concession you cant give an answer

Anything else, and just like Jim Acosta, you'll have to be put in Time Out for a bit for cheerleading and gumming up the discourse.

There is no correlation between tax cuts and increases in revenue. Every economist understands this as fact. It’s a much more complex equation. Simpletons like 65bad try to equate simple aspects to explain complex ideas. Par for the course.

[man down]

If history is anything to go by, neither Government or insurance companies will as it becomes a PR exercise when people are suffering

Friend of mine was CEO of a major insurance company when tsunami hit Asia and all of their policies were voided due to Force Majeure

They paid out on most of them and were reimbursed with public funds

Heres the new tree growth from a fire 5 years ago.

I pulled over on I80 near Truckee Ca. to take a quick shot of the growth. This is on a major highway. You couldnt even walk through this!

#BREAKING: Ivanka Trump sent hundreds of emails about government business on personal account: report https://t.co/dykIW0t9pv pic.twitter.com/kxI7xXE6cX

— The Hill (@thehill) November 19, 2018

The reasoning behind Ivanka Trump using a private email for government business is that she hadn't been briefed on the rules yet. Her father ran a campaign that had a large focus on Hillary Clinton using a private email for government business. https://t.co/qzChSk71zB

— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) November 20, 2018

Members of the Trump administration who have used personal email to conduct official business:
1) Ivanka Trump
2) Jared Kushner
3) Steve Bannon
4) Stephen Miller
5) Reince Priebus
6) Gary Cohn

The shameless hypocrisy of these people never ceases to amaze me.

Now for the finish....

Can you explain how tax revenue is up after the tax rates were cut?

It's up 0.4% in nominal terms, and down over 3.5% in real terms.

please read thoroughly next time before you get excited.

Anything else, and just like Jim Acosta, you'll have to be put in Time Out for a bit for cheerleading and gumming up the discourse.

Don't act like a child here when the ball moves away from your end of the court.

I've already shown that revenue is not up, it's a fact. This is one of the lowest growth rates in the passed 50 years, fact.

You're already covered to the neck in quicksand, don't completely drown yourself due to internet pride. I suggest moving on and maybe switching topics.

Or if you're brave enough, talk policy.
