GOP National Convention - July 15-18, 2024

Tax cuts for all.

If I pay more taxes I get a bigger cut.

And please don’t act like Wall street didn’t line up and give to Obama he got more from those rich guy that either of his opponents both times he ran.

 

i just remember a thread you telling everyone to bet on carson in the op.

 

This comes to mind.
J.D. Vance As Trump’s VP: “A Corporate CEO’s Dream And A Worker’s Nightmare”
Adding the caveat that this is from left-wing source it doesn't change the facts.
J. D. Vance Is a “Populist” Who Is Profiting From a Tax Loophole for the Ultrarich

 

“Speakers made false or misleading claims about border crossings, gas prices, tax cuts, the relative wealth of young Americans and Easter Sunday


“When President Trump left office, gas cost only $2.20. Under Biden and Harris, gas skyrocketed to the highest price in history, over five bucks a gallon.”

Gotta love a convention so boring that it put Old Man Donald to sleep.

 

No vigor or energy. Sad!

 

I'm all for tax cuts for everyone as soon as they reign in spending. Until then the GOP wanting tax cuts is nonsense

 

The difference is that and I know it's surprising a significant number of wealthy contributors to the Democratic party are actually motivated by principles and support candidates who have taken positions that are actually against their personal self-interest. Not so with the ultra rich contributors to Republican candidates.

 

WOW!!!! This was powerful

 

Has Tim Scott cut off the payments to his beard yet and canceled the fake wedding?

Speaking of spouses, how much does Melanie despise her husband? No pictures of them together after the shooting and she doesn't go with him to Milwaukee. Just like she didn't go to his NY trial.

And don't give me that BS about her focusing on being a Mom. Her son is 18 for Pete's sake.

 

I made money.byying Ben Carson and JD Vance, the only 2 VP picks I passed along. JD Vance paid almost 6 to 1

 

Im trying to figure out if this is big tent or they let the wolf in the hen house. He gave a very pro-union speech in a house that is generally very anti-union. It's not like the GOP is going to become pro-union so it was a pretty bizarre spectacle as he teed of on big business. Im truly not sure why he was invited or what he hoped to accomplish .

 

Its neither really. Cant really figure out if this guy is a useful idiot (I mean Musk and other big donors are actively trying to kill the NLRB) or just sort of reading the tea leaves and making nice or just taking the chance to speak. There is kind of a conservative strain in labor, that sees "DEI" as HR nonsense so that does appeal to some trade unionists. To me its stupid if you are madder about that than any GOP administration stocking the NLRB with anti-union guys and generally being hostile to labor across the board.

There's also the chance this guy wants to be the bizarro Shawn Fain

 

Just a guess, but the GOP's trying to appeal to blue collar whites that are part of labor unions in Michigan and Pennsylvania. I'm not sure what Teamsters gets from it, though.

 

Thats what I don't get. Far as I can tell he pissed off a lot of union members, and for what? Seemed like he did a big favor to the GOP

 

Maybe as head of the Teamsters, he's like "hmm, bringing back patronage and blatant corruption, it'll be like the old days again, and it all worked out for Hoffa in the end"

 

Rudy G’s fall from grace has manifested physically:

 

When will the adults be arriving at the convention?
