The president isn’t in charge of COVID. States are in charge of COVID. Pandemics are handled by the states with help from the federal government. BLM protest are once again state issues. I’m not sure why so many Americans don’t understand how the government is run. Presidents are not dictators. They are limited by the constitution and laws.

No why is the split so close? Harris isn’t a good candidate. She’s wildly unpopular and has been for years. He policies are horrible and the average American doesn’t want them. They are the opposite of what Americans want.

Biden has always been fairly unpopular. I’ve always thought the guy was an idiot but he isn’t far left. He fairly moderate to Leaning a little right.

We also have a large red/blue divide in this country and presidents are picked by the EC.

Trump is a horrible candidate but things ran well when he was in office. People will remember that.

The short version is we are running two awful candidates and that’s why the elections are close.

Not sure who those people are but they don’t seem well versed on the topic.

If you haven’t read the most recent SCOTUS ruling. It foreshadows their views on the topic. SCOTUS determines want is constitutional.

There hs enough case law from scotus to point to wealth taxes as being unconstitutional

Judges have immunity. So the lawsuit won’t go anywhere.

It’s amazing how immunity people in power have

Wealth taxes are unconstitutional in the United States. It would require an amendment to change that.

Capital gains should just be taxed an ordinary income. That would solve a lot of issues such as Medicare, social security, etc.

Some mods want echo chambers with false information.

I don’t want a “truth” monitor but sometimes it needs to be done.

I think it's funny they thought they could censor an admin. I fully support Rooki on this.

Not a lawyer but recently used a lawyer for something similar. They are hoping you’ll sign it.

Normally they tie it to a payment to get you to sign it.

You’ll see that in Oregon. Middle of nowhere then off in the distance you’ll see the compound.

There is a house by me that has a foot ball field in the backyard a pond and a running track.

Who builds a football field field in the backyard?

It’s his passion project. It’s not “working” when it’s something you love.

He just put an injunction in place which is common. It just means the case has to be decided first.

If he’s accusing them of venue shopping. I suspect he’s going to rule against them.

Polling has shown he’s taking votes from Biden mostly.
