2020 Presidential election

[Gameface]

Looks like Sanders will crush in Nevada. Is it too soon to start wondering who he will choose for his VP? My preference would be Warren, but Buttigieg might be a great dark horse pick.

I think Booker or Yang would be better. You want your VP to widen the net not double it over.

Schiff and Pelosi tried to sell the American public on Trump being a Russian asset and that the Mueller Report was going to be a smoking gun that ended Trump's legitimacy as President.

You got any quotes from Schiff or Pelosi that say this?

Then it turned out the allegation of Russian collusion was unfounded.

Dozens of convictions upon several Trump associates says otherwise. Heck, Donald Trump Jr. said otherwise in his email about the meeting in Trump Tower.

It turned out to be a big disappointment and embarrassment for impeachment-hungry Democrats.

Just not the ones actually in Congress.

The Mueller investigation developed under James Comey

, who is a life-long Republican,

Or did you somehow miss all that?

Nope, I knew all of that. Now, in what way did the Democrats launch the Mueller investigation? I also didn't miss that you failed to answer that question.

 

[One Brow]

Mueller was supposed to give Democrats grounds to pursue impeachment, and to that effect, it was a sham.

Who gave that assignment to Mueller?

I really don't understand how a guy that's been in politics for his entire life is not part of the establishment... Vermont btw had a terrible economy.


Vermont is currently ranked 49th in the United States for its economic outlook. This is a forward-looking forecast based on the state’s standing (equal-weighted average) in 15 important state policy variables. Data reflect state and local rates and revenues and any effect of federal deductibility.

You do understand that has nothing to do with anything, right? Bernie isn't Governor, he was Mayor of Burlington 30 years ago, and has been in national office since then. He has nothing whatsoever to do with the state budget.

Someone floated the idea of Buttigieg, just because then it would be like Doc & Marty against Biff.

Honestly, I would love Nina Turner, or someone from outside the political arena, like Dr Cornel West.

Cornel West would make people's heads explode on a level heretofore unseen.

I know, it would be amazing.

Something Bernie could do to help the mid and lower class is eliminate all income and employment tax on everything earned working more than 40 hours in a week. No reason working more should mean paying a higher tab. I worked close to 1000 hours extra last year and paid 50% of it to government if I include sales tax. Nonsense.

so person A makes $80k base salary with no overtime and person B makes $50k base, $30k overtime.

They pay different amounts of tax?

24% fed (up to $157k)
6.2% fica
5% state
1.45% Medicare

under 38%

in Cali state tax is 12%, which takes you to ~45%. But that is not a federal issue.

Also, not sure why you would include sales tax since no one is being forced to buy taxable goods with marginal overtime pay.

Well, person A and person B led very different work lives and different quality of lives so I say yes they should be taxed differently.

Overtime sucks. Working tons of hours sucks but some of have to do it while some of us don't.
I think those that are unfortunate enough to have to work tons of overtime could use a reward.
