  • Well the last tax bill was written and passed by the GOP in 2017, it got 0 DNC votes in the house the first time and it passed but with 3 congressional violations which would otherwise protect budget bills from filibuster at the time and so it was filibustered, then it passed the house again with changes and then the Senate 51 to 48 with 0 DNC votes and this time was immune to filibuster.

    Now they get to write the new bill again this time because it is about to expire.

    We DO have an idea of the DNC tax plan from the Kamala Harris Campaign promising to tax unrealized gains over 1M and to remove the upper limit that rich people pay to Socia Security Taxes, while also keeping or lowering taxes on anybody who made less than 400k.

    We also know that the previous Biden Administration supported the IRS and gave them every resource and incentive to Audit the Rich, which they absolutely did.

    So I guess if you ignore literally everything that happens then you can make that claim. Take your pick: ignorant or liar, which do you claim to be?








  • Specifically, this action talked about in the article is an addition to the GOP spending bill which is awaiting vote in the senate OR upon filibuster could be handed back to the house for reconciliation.

    The bill also cuts medicare, agriculture, education, and commerce investments.

    They’re looking to halve the deficit by cutting 2 Trillion in spending so that they can extend their TCJA tax cuts which adds 4.5 trillion net loss for the government.






  • I feel like you’re stuck on loop with these examples where batman makes an appearance or reference but I’ve already explained to you so many times that this can happen in the theory I presented but they require permission to do it.

    DC is owned by Warner Bros who is a competitor (in the most uneven sense possible) to Disney which owns Fox who from the 1960s to at least the 1990s owned the rights to televise Batman.

    No I don’t agree with that. We need people to be informed on both issues and our goals from the start.

    I’m not going to lie to people to get them to join my “revolution.” I’m going to be up front and honest about my goals.

    I want to make the conservative right a useless husk in every way possible, empower a unified left opposition, and prepare future generations with knowledge and resources to advance progress and minimize all human suffering while maximising security and freedoms so long as those freedoms do not infringe upon others.

    I’m going to do that by convincing people to organize against the GOP and importantly with the DNC and Bernie Sanders.


  • Oh James Gunn made a four word tweet about it? That totally convinces me. Thanks for that. /s

    You can come up with as many examples as you want, examples of times they had permission, but the fact remains that studios go far out of their way to obscure batman, digitally alter his appearance, or exclude him entirely. So this rumor won’t die that easily. Truly the dark knight, brooding in the shadows just out of frame.


  • I’m just saying we need to know the route to run the marathon, otherwise we shouldn’t expect to win any prizes by the end of it.

    Defeating Putin, Trump, and Elon Musk is going to have specific steps to accomplish. Educate, Organize, and Unify opposition, and this will absolutely involve playing politics which a lot of people abhor. This isn’t one of those “hit problems with club until it stops moving” scenarios. At least not until we take away the enemy’s bigger club.





  • If you’re talking about the flash cameo, many fans were quick to point out that it had its ears digitally removed. That wasn’t BatMan. That was Man.

    20th Centurt Fox owned the televised rights to Batman, meaning without permission from Disney there are no new televised appearances of him. Even the Batman animated series were on Fox.

    I think even Teen Titans original series excluded Batman.

    There are different rights and types of ownership for these things. One person can own the merchandising rights while another owns the rights to distribute media.
