She's moved on him like a bitch
In new Marist poll, Harris makes astronomical move on Trump (https://www.nj.com/news/2024/08/in-new-marist-poll-harris-makes-astronomical-move-on-trump.html)
In a new poll released Tuesday night, Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, has taken an enormous lead on former president Donald Trump among independent voters.
Harris is up nine points with that group (53%-44%) after being down 14 points with them when she launched her campaign just two weeks ago.
Your first sentence may have been the best comment I have read here since I joined. Well played MTK. And of course you bring very good news.
As for the VP nobody votes for the VP, they can't win an election. But they sure can pull a candidate down and lose an election. We may be seeing that very thing with the Trump/Vance ticket.

How are we feeling about not taxing tips?
How are we feeling about not taxing tips?
Sounds like a good idea in theory, reality is it’s probably not

Question , we stop taxing "gratuities then how many CEO's will start "getting gratuities" as pay from their BOD?. Sorry but not in favor of it, just too much room for illegal stuff.

Tips are income therefore they should be taxed. Pretty simple if you ask me.

I agree but I ask what will Boss's due to control the tips . Many pool the tips and divvy it up later some weekly, some monthly, some keep them. If they aren't tax they won't be reported. I know we are thinking "tips" , like the pizza guy but what about the big stuff? Ever watch "Below Deck"? these guys get 1200 to 2000 gratuities per charter(cash) they can finish with about 20 grand by the end of a Charter season. Will Bonus's be considerd "gratuities"? Sorry I don't like the idea.

I see the Below Deck tip as no different than the server tip. If it's reported then you have to pay taxes. If it is in cash well I got no problem with the wink wink method of not reporting. I was after all a bartender in the 80's when all the tips were cash and none were reported.

I agree, for me it was the 70's and I worked in Hotel Restaurants. I was 17 and busing tables at this really nice Hotel in NJ but we all so did the room service and made a killing.

Trump Says Medal He Gave Billionaire Donor ‘Much Better’ Than Military Medal of Honor
Donald Trump said that a civilian Presidential Medal of Freedom is better than the Medal of Honor because soldiers who are recognized are “in very bad shape … or they’re dead.”
Total fucking idiot and a national embarrassment, can’t believe this is real life
