Okay.  You've explained that Obama spent to much on golf.  Congrats.

That wasn't the topic at hand, though.

Thats my point.  You dont get to post about trump playing golf and ignore the fact that Obama did the same thing

So every time I want to mention trump playing a lot of golf, you want me to put a little disclaimer that Obama did too? That will satisfy you? Fucking weirdo. You’re obsessed with Obama.

Both Obama and Trump play too much golf and spend too much taxpayer dollars on their golf trips. 

Now, what do ya got?

 

The left complains about Trump golfing, except like last week when he was playing with a black man, Tiger Woods ……….then nothing; doesn’t help with their ‘racist’ narrative.

It’s not really an argument. It’s a fact that he uses a ton of tax payer money to go golfing. You’re ignoring that fact because Obama did, too. Which is blind partisanship 101.

I get where you're both coming from.  You really are better off saying "POTUS's spending tax payer money to golf outrages me!"

Ccs point that it’s ok with him because no one gave the previous guy any shit for it (which is debateable) is a terrible argument.

With the unparalleled results Trump is obtaining, he can golf everyday; he’s earned it.

I don't make a million a year....and my taxes were about $3k lower than they would have been under the old rates, even with losing part of the SALT deduction

I paid less taxes as well but it also was equal to the amount lower on my return. Did u get the same on your return and paid less taxes?  My brother is a partner at his law firm and did a lot better, most people I know did the same or worse. Especially people with no kids

Caviat.. obviously I hate trump. As it stands I will vote for him over kamala Harris if that’s what it came down to. I just think people aren’t honest when they say why they vote for trump.  It’s certainly not unparalleled results

I'd vote for Tulsi Gabbard rather than Trump. She's wanting to pull out of the war machine/empire crap, so that will save TONS of money. For the record, because Tulsi is against war the media and democrat machine will never give her a chance.

I would take that Beto guy from Texas if I like anyone. He seems like a person I could be down with

I owe money every year.  But I make estimated payments, so I have a pretty good model to help me do that, and I just ran the old vs. new to see what the difference was.  It was about $3k all-in.

That sounds great. Is it a wasted vote? I don’t know who that is but maybe lots of people do

Yeah, it's a wasted vote. At this point, I'm not sure who would NOT be a wasted vote. But I'm good with voting on principle.

My tax burden is lower and my 401k and IRA are both much higher now than in 2016. I have made many more “dollars” since Trump took office. I am also not rich.

 

Unless you have no job and have no money at all in the stock market, you have made money because Trump is in office. You may not want to admit it, but facts don’t care about your feelings.

He seems like a middle school girl.  Trump is still just the worst on social media, but "Bobby" O'Rourke is second.  He's a middle school girl living in a young man's body.

Not saying he's not a cool person, but I sure as hell wouldn't want him representing me in the political arena.

I have stocks and they are doing fine just as they were doing fine for last 8-10 years. They were doing great last year, now they are back on the same trajectory they have been/should be. There isn’t some aha moment or anything special that I see, or have heard of but everyone’s situation is different for sure
