The Big Beautiful Bill is moving $ out of the US treasury to benefit the wealthiest individuals and to corporate shareholders - at the expense of the 99% of Americans who are not multi-millionaires. Trump and the Republicans are baldly lying to cover their crimes, AGAIN. Not a surprise at all ~

Wednesday’s Tax Day was supposed to be a big PR boon for Trump, in which he touts his “no taxes on tips” and other ersatz tax “cuts” for average working Americans (while hiding that his Big Ugly bill actually gave most of its benefits to the wealthy and big corporations, and paid for them by taking money from Medicaid and food stamps and other programs the working class and poor rely on).

Consider that before Miller ordered the Internal Revenue Service to give ICE officials the addresses of people subject to deportation, undocumented immigrants had been paying roughly $60 billion annually in federal taxes, much of it going into Social Security and Medicare — programs from which they don’t benefit.

Now, tax experts fear many immigrants won’t file returns, and those who formerly had their taxes withheld in every paycheck will shift into under-the-table jobs. The Yale Budget Lab, a nonpartisan research center, projected lost tax revenue of about $300 billion over a decade.

The comedy gold mine is in the comments section, of course - although the video is itself, sadly amusing.

Pardons for a price with the criminal Trump regime. This is just one vomitrocious and recent example.

I don't know where on the political spectrum, this 'creator' aligns himself with - but I've been watching him since the afternoon of September 10th, 2025. He's very invested in the Trump Admin BS and the FBIs invented 'story' and has a lot of videos about that day and alleged players involved.

Another MAGIC BULLET for Charlie Kirk

So now, not even Youtube links work on Lush.... wonderfuckingful

Gawddamn this fucking website!!!

Previous, prized Trump administration advisors.

The pedos pretty much OUT themselves with their emails to and from Epstein. They're missing a young Bill Gates in this montage:

Musk was awesome before awesome was even a word!

He's also all over the Epstein Files/Emails, and none of it is awesome -- https://www.jmail.world

That'll be as popular as the Mockumentary: Melania

Early birthday wishes for the greatest patriot in the history of patriots. Some say he was the 1st patriot. The FOUNDER! Like Elon... A boat landed ashore 500 years ago, and....

Sidney - GFY - I was on to you 8 years ago, you fucking facist. I was surprised that Nicola championed you - to me. You are, like Damion used to sling... GARBAGE PEOPLE. Schmuck.

Quote by Frank




Generalisations and assumptions, (you have done so with your label, 'rational'), are always going to be made and used until one drills down to specifics. Specifics best dealt with by those who have the knowledge and wisdom to do so with out too tainted an agenda. Reasoned legislation may then follow.

Until then, one can encourage debate as well as expression of emotion as has clearly occurred here in this forum. For reasoned debate, polarity has to be recognised and attempts to understand such differences in such a complex issue.

In a democratic country, where the once the unimaginable election of a black president has taken place one would have thought some change would have happened with regards to this issue in over 15 years, unless the majority are not as you say, 'rational'.

It is not suggested to be just a numbers game.
The fact is, that as a result the only change is a note in history of another shooting, and subsequent loss of life. Any apparent lessons seem lost.

And, eleven years later:

..and how do the votes add up to 119%?

That's the NEW LUSH VERSION 2.0.

A lot of shit has pretty much gone by the wayside since Nicola unloaded our favorite website to this crew of morons. Good for Nic!

This place has sucked ever since she sold it off.

You are/were a pussy begging cuck. I'm glad I haven't seen any of your posts since 2015, Mr toothless lion.

Quote by noll

I'd say that those are all examples of your checks and balances failing.

This just didn't happen overnight, Noll. It's been coming on since Reagan destroyed the long established (1949) FAIRNESS DOCTRINE in 1987.

[Lifted from Wikipedia]

Key events leading to its end include:

* 1987 FCC Vote: In August 1987, the FCC, under new chairman, Dennis Patrick, voted 4-0 to abolish the Fairness Doctrine, concluding that the rise of cable television and other media outlets had made the "scarcity" argument for regulation - obsolete.

* Reagan's Vote: Before the FCC vote, the Democrat-controlled Congress passed legislation (the Fairness in Broadcasting Act of 1987) that would have codified the doctrine into federal law. President Reagan vetoed this bill, stating that the content-based regulation by the federal government was "antagonistic to the freedom of expression guaranteed by the First Amendment".

Consequences

The repeal is often linked to the subsequent rise of highly partisan talk radio and cable news networks in the late 1980s and 1990s. While the Fairness Doctrine applied only to broadcast licenses (not cable networks like Fox News or MSNBC), its absence is seen as having lowered overall industry standards for balanced reporting, contributing to greater political polarization in U.S. media.

This shithead demands a Nobel peace prize..? Claims he's stopped 7 or 8 wars in 2025... Waits til 2026 to start one against a helpless nation. Reminds me of when George HW Bush invaded Panama in 1989.

Woo Hoo - another Republican started war of choice. Thanks, MAGA

My father used to say: "Those who feel a need to exclamate loudly are not the ones to listen to."

Give them the finger and argue against the injustice. If that doesn't work - prepare to kill some crazy motherfuckers.

Look at this dignified US President. He looks like he's had half a dozen strokes this year and can barely stand up without toppling over.

Vurp

Quote by David_LeRoy
We’ve got a demagogue on her hands and due to a combination of factors, from inflation, driven by Covid and the blame that that was put on the Biden administration, the Progressive’s not backing Harris because they weren’t happy with her support for Palestine, and immigration issues similar to what you see in much of Europe and the reaction to it real loud a group of extremist to take power in the country

This isn’t over yet

I suppose it depends upon where you've dredged up your information, but this is the first time I've heard that Progressive Liberals didn't vote for Harris because she supports the Palestinians - when in my experience and (sources I dredged up) that is entirely 180 degrees NOT the case.

I've lost a handful of online Lush friends here because I've proposed that the current regime leading Israel needs to be put on trial at The Hague for the genocide they've inflicted upon GAZA since the early 1990s. I was immediately called an anti-semite who must love Hamas and Hezbollah. And that has never been a belief I've held or expressed. That entire region needs to see zero bloodshed, zero genocide, zero aerial bombing runs, zero missile launches/retaliation.

And Bibi is a war criminal and he's all for retaliation as well as instigation. Motherfucker.
