He's letting the tax cuts on poor people expire while gutting welfare to extend tax cuts to the rich
Drumroll AI:
Here’s the clear answer based on what’s actually in the bill and Trump’s stated positions, not the hypotheticals from CNN:
- Trump is not calling for lower-income tax cuts to expire.His backed bill, the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” seeks to extend the 2017 tax cuts, which include benefits that apply across all income levels, including the standard deduction increase and child tax credit expansion.
- The reason people say “they’re expiring” is because those parts were written to sunset in 2025.That’s how the 2017 law was designed—for budget scoring reasons—not because Trump wants to target the poor now. Congress has to act to renew them. Trump’s current position is: renew and make permanent.
- The claim that he is “definitely letting poor people’s tax cuts expire” is false. The bill doesn’t do that. If anything, it tries to make those cuts last longer.
So yeah, no more “coulds” or “mights” here. The truth is the expiration was already baked in years ago, and Trump is supporting legislation to prevent that expiration, not enforce it.
Anyone claiming otherwise is either misinformed or intentionally misleading.

It's so weird when government cultists defend thievery and corruption. It's even beyond Stockholm syndrome at this point. Not a single one of them has not been exposed to government dysfunction and broken promises after stealing 20% of their labor like a tyrannical plantation owner.
And when someone tries to stop the thievery and corruption, they cry bowls of tears over something they don't even understand...

lol indeed, you are the one asking a Trumpy question then accusing me of pivoting. That's the standard quo for a Democrat, accuse their own evil to others.
Like you pretended State media didn't cover up that Biden was a dead man walking for 4 years. That's the predictable take of today's Democrat traitorous cultist.It's me pointing out that you started a whole thread to focus on Biden's cognitive state and the cover up that ensued when the exact same thing is happening with the current oval office occupant on steroids.
Also known as a pivot, deflection, excusing evil.
Like Wylted said, it's easy. Just stop supporting evil. You get no brownie points for orangemanbad if that's the only song you can sing.

A woman here thinks that a woman's intuition is never wrong.
Wut? Feelings are neither right nor wrong. They just are. If women were made to be more comfortable about their instincts, we wouldn't have such a breakdown of the family and society as it is. And a lot fewer abortions as well. Feminism long ago transformed from a movement to embrace all radical instincts to a doctrine that suppresses certain instincts. That has to end at some point for the survival of the species.
Women don't need men to "fix" them. And they most certainly don't need other women to fix them. They just need to be protected as they are.
This is from god knows how many years with women.

but when Trump's...
That's you changing the subject and blaming others for your own sins. That kind of gaslighting used to work for a State media host or Democrat politician, but it's 2025 now... If someone’s only response to a national crisis is “orange man bad,” they’re not serious about fixing the problem. They’re just trying to protect the system that let it happen in the first place.

Hey, just out of curiosity, what is a tariff and who pays it?
That's easy. It's a sin tax on traitors paid by treasonous China lovers that refuse to buy from anyone but China.
The tariff is basically Uncle Sam saying:
“Oh, you still want to buy from China? Fine. Pay the toll.”
Or are you gonna sit there and pretend there's no national security issue with China after the disastrous economic bust when China had our supply chains by the balls in 2020?

If you don't care about the North Korea style of fawning happening over Trump you don't have much credibility to express discontent over what the democrats around Biden did or did not say.
Nobody fawned like state media over suppressing Biden's diseased asshole. They were literally covering up his disease with their lips on a daily basis. The man could’ve collapsed on live TV and they'd still insist it was just allergies; and to say otherwise was treason, racism, ageism, misandry, fascism, colonialism, white supremacy, hate speech, insurrection, and conspiracy to destroy "democracy." That kind of fawning even put North Korea to shame, as a lot of it was voluntary!

@WyIted
Dafuq?That's an ignorant assumption.
1. Observational homogeneity is an approximation, not a law
The cosmological principle is an assumption—not an observable truth. Galaxy surveys like SDSS show large-scale structures (voids, walls, filaments) extending hundreds of megaparsecs. So FLRW’s starting point (a smooth universe) already smuggles in an unjustified simplification. It's more of a convenient idealization than a physical reality.
2. Local Flatness ≠ Global Gauge Fixing
The Local Flatness Theorem guarantees that locally you can always find coordinates where spacetime is Minkowskian. But that doesn’t mean globally the lapse function gᵗᵗ must vary with expansion. That’s conflating coordinate artifacts with physical necessity. Gauge choices aren't physical—they’re mathematical conveniences.
3. The Friedmann equations already emerge with gᵗᵗ= 1
In comoving coordinates, setting gᵗᵗ = 1 isn't arbitrary—it reflects free-falling observers who see cosmic time as proper time. The Einstein field equations still work. If the derivation is consistent and predictive, then demanding a variable lapse is a solution in search of a problem.
4. The time coordinate is just a label
Coordinate time can always be rescaled or redefined. Physical observables like redshift, distances, and curvature invariants don’t care about your time label. So making gᵗᵗ vary doesn’t inject new physics—it just rephrases it awkwardly.
5. There’s no contradiction in the active mass condition ρ+3p≠0
It is unsupported by how the field equations are actually derived.
6. The energy-momentum tensor already feeds into curvature—no need to ‘correct’ gᵗᵗ
Einstein’s equations ensure that the influence of
Tμν is already baked into the spacetime geometry. There’s no hidden inconsistency unless you try to force extra structure where none is needed.
7. We observe an accelerating universe and FLRW accommodates it
Using standard FLRW cosmology with dark energy (ΛCDM), we predict an accelerating expansion, which matches supernova and CMB data. If FLRW were invalid under those conditions, this match wouldn’t exist.
8. You don’t get to dictate physical laws by picking a weird coordinate system
Sure, you can choose coordinates that give a variable lapse, but that doesn’t make it necessary. That’s like saying Newton’s laws don’t work because you went into a rotating frame and added fake forces, it’s a bad faith critique of a good model.
9. A dynamic lapse function risks introducing nonphysical degrees of freedom
Letting gᵗᵗ vary without constraint means you need to check whether you’re introducing ghost degrees of freedom, violating energy conditions, or breaking the well-posedness of Einstein’s equations. Most of the time, you’re not adding insight—you’re adding baggage.
10. There are models beyond FLRW—this paper is barking up the wrong tree
If you don’t like homogeneity, use Lemaître–Tolman–Bondi (LTB) or Bianchi models. But trying to "fix" FLRW from within by hacking gᵗᵗ is like trying to give a motorcycle four wheels—it’s no longer what it was, and worse at doing what it was meant for.

@AdaptableRatman
When women were used to receiving protections from men, used to receiving the expected chivalry, physical safety, social insulation, and then reject those protections in the name of independence, they often don’t realize until too late that no one’s stepping in anymore. They broke the system without explaining why it was there in the first place.
They expected freedom, not vulnerable exposure. But freedom without protection feels like abandonment. When male protections are removed, many women look to other women for solidarity… but it’s not there. Because most women aren’t biologically wired to protect other adult women (or men). They are mostly wired to protect their offspring. They’re biologically wired to compete, to watch status, to distance themselves from those falling out of favor, and hypergamy. That’s why, in cultural battles like trans competing in women’s sports, the strongest and earliest resistance didn’t come from women en masse, it had to come from men. The protective instinct is just... missing instinctually from women, and every woman will readily agree that women are very vicious toward each other with few obligations to sacrifice for each other. What fills the gap is chaos, not progress
So now we have this strange inversion: women have given up male protection, but haven’t replaced it with female protection, and what’s left is a kind of raw vulnerability. The world isn’t suddenly full of bears and rapists just because feminism made bold claims. It just feels that way without the social protections that were stripped away.
For half the world raised with protection, a world without it doesn’t feel like equality, it feels like oppression.
Thomas Sowell had a famous quote that oddly applies here in the world of feminists and bears.
"When people grow used to special treatment, equal treatment feels like oppression"

I am saying women should not encourage men to embrace "bros before hoes" culture when they scream in their faces the "I don't need no man." culture. When women feel like hoes, every man looks like a bear.
If women choose to champion radical independence and treat emotional reliance on men as weakness, they shouldn’t be surprised when men lean into detachment and male bonding over the instinct to protect and build a family. It’s not hatred. It’s a predictable and measured response to toxic femininity.

When women need no men, then men need not protect them anymore.
That's where the blame lies. Women for not supporting the role of men as protectors and also on men allowing that idea to fester.

Don't be silly, America was more unified and prosperous when it didn't have 100 alphabet agencies in DC.
If anything, the explosion of federal sprawl has weakened national unity, people feel ruled by strangers in D.C., not by representatives who know their communities. In the past, America had stronger families, stronger economies, and stronger civic ties, all while D.C. stayed in its lane.
So no, decentralization doesn’t kill America, it revives it. It reminds Washington that this nation is a union of states bound by liberty, not a federal command center managing 50 satellite franchises.
