Thanks for paying your taxes, OP. Millions on welfare are counting on you!

>why am i always supposed to thank military ppl and cops for their service

Simply put don't. You are not required to and vets typically do not want you to.

It is a catch 22.

You thank me, and the only show reel that plays in my head is all of the FUBAR things that went down. Things that only make me lament that I am no longer there doing the deal.

If you thank me, I will be cordial and say something like "no problem" and think that you are a tool for not suiting up yourself.


>thanks me for paying my taxes and earning a living in the private sector by producing something of actual value (food in my case, i grow it on a farm)

generating blowback terrorism keeps the military industrial complex in business and the federal government deep in debt which in turn keeps the american citizens overtaxed and that impoverishment gives people less incentive to work on their own behalf.
thank you to all the soldiers for volunteering to be tools
its all fine for them, they get their pension, lifetime free healthcare and hiring preference for other taxpayer funded government jobs which pay more for less risk once they've done their turn in the military. what a bunch of selfless saints, i really feel strongly that i owe them something more than they're already getting.
if anyone protests the system less than politely these same soldiers are all ready to turn their guns on them too.

The old British papers had more alliteration.
Punch publishes: "Puerile punks pester people and passers-by with pellet guns, peeving the populace and perplexing the police."
"Ill-begotten Irish immigrants implicated in imbroglio!"

u don't have to buy health insurance anymore either

Reading this thread almost a year later is a bummer.

that just means that anyone who doesn't have health insurance isn't committing a crime if they don't file. of course they'll still be charged and sent up because people too poor for insurance can't afford the 6 figure lawyer bills to take bullshit like that to court. where the hell is grover torquiest when you need him and how the fuck is all-republican government letting this happen? i though they were against the excesses of government and the democrats were the heavy taxes/big spending authoritarian party and the republicans were the small taxes/small government/balanced budget/freedom loving libertarian types

there has never really been a difference. there never will be.

Good news everybody: the republicans want to ban people from saving money for retirement to fund tax breaks for corporations!
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/theres-talk-of-capping-401k-contributions-at-2400-per-year-2017-10-20
>Proposals floating around Washington to cap the amount that Americans can contribute before taxes to 401(k) plans and individual retirement accounts are unsettling professionals in the retirement industry.

>Republicans are looking for ways to generate revenue to support broad reductions in individual tax rates. One idea is to limit the amount of pretax money households can sock away for retirement saving. Such a move would likely generate significant political blowback but it hasn’t been explicitly ruled out, stirring worry among industry lobbyists.

>Members of the House Ways and Means Committee are widely expected to release a version of the tax bill by mid-November. Specifics on a wide range of issues remain unclear. Emily Schillinger, a spokeswoman for the Ways and Means Committee, declined to comment.

>Lobbyists and others in the retirement and financial services industries who have spoken to congressional staff and committee members say lawmakers are looking at proposals that would allow 401(k) participants to contribute significantly less than what is currently allowed in a traditional tax-deferred 401(k). An often mentioned amount is $2,400 a year. It isn’t clear whether that would only apply to 401(k)s or IRAs or both.

Hello, new friend! It is common courtesy to restrict double posting. Take the time to compose your thoughts and enter them into a single post.

>>111061
Why are you talking like that?

Did we really strike you as a center for Trump support?

>>111115
For some reason people assume that being pro-gun = being a bible thumping republican...

>>111118
Well to be fair to their pea brained assumptions, not many gun owners are going to be voting Dem except on a local level or if they have a more pressing concern (a gay or minority gun owner might vote Dem because they feel Dems history of catering to gaymosexuals and Basketball Americans better represents them because they might feel those rights edge out guns rights, not judging them, just stating a fact).

Republicans are far more likely to have our back and not as likely to stick some nanny state approved blunt tipped knife in it. Democrats even with a history of being pro-gun are looked with suspicion because of their parties history with loving gun control long time. Take that cunt Joe Manchin from Best Virginia who despite being from a state with a history of clinging to guns harder then their cousin wives Ol Joe decides to dip his wick in the gun debate by trying to doing universal background checks.

Its no wonder that Joe is getting his nuts stomped by his constituents with many people thinking he might do a party switch like the WV governor did recently.

But it illustrates something about WV, that a state formerly so blue that the only thing bluer was the meth they been cooking has massively turned red as of late. Because the Democrats stopped appealing to them, their hostility towards the working man especially when that man is working with coal, their disgust with how some country boy (don't call him southern or you might get shot) might want to own guns and even more shockingly use them but all responsible like, it bleed out all that blue.

Its no fucking wonder that WV IS a center for Trump support. Support for a goddamn billionaire New York liberal, he was seen as better then Hillary, I mean thats like a Neo-Nazi or a Muslim voting for a jew just because the other guy is so much worse. I'd laugh if I didn't feel like crying

>>111115
The goon is trying to make us somehow regret not voting for Hillary, when there was not even one benefit in doing so.
For everyone on this board, there was one single question to answer this election, "Who gets to fill the Supreme Court?"

As for the reason trump is using jews to fill government positions, the simple fact is that jews are the ones who are actively positioning themselves to both the options available as well as the gatekeepers who recommend the options. He's a new york businessman not an ideologue, so no thinking person should be surprised that he's using the resources available.

>doesn't play by the rules

If it doesn't play by the rules, it's not lawful. For fuck's sake.

The Federation of American Scientists and other organizations keep track of these nuclear stockpiles and regularly release updated weapons counts.

Below is a map that shows the best estimates of which countries have nukes and how many they have. http://www.businessinsider.com/nuclear-weapons-stockpiles-world-map-2017-8

Status of World Nuclear Forces
The number of nuclear weapons in the world has declined significantly since the Cold War: down from a peak of approximately 70,300 in 1986 to an estimated 14,900 in early-2017. Government officials often portray that accomplishment as a result of current arms control agreements, but the overwhelming portion of the reduction happened in the 1990s. Moreover, comparing today’s inventory with that of the 1950s is like comparing apples and oranges; today’s forces are vastly more capable. The pace of reduction has slowed significantly. Instead of planning for nuclear disarmament, the nuclear-armed states appear to plan to retain large arsenals for the indefinite future. https://fas.org/issues/nuclear-weapons/status-world-nuclear-forces/

Well, judging by the actions of US diplomats in the last several months, one can conclude that US and NATO has been preparing for set date and time for some sort of large scale invasion. Again. And again, only symbolically.

>The US failed to issue entry visas for the entire delegation of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces

>The senior Russian senator warned that Russia is capable to arrange a decent response if US leaves the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.

Apparently, current lack of international policy in US (a direct consequence of Trump controversy) has been already exploited by some influential parties with their own separate interests. Weither it is a realistic scenario, or will it be put in action at all, is entirely different question.

I don't think you ever really can have enough nukes

>>111102
Eh, then you pay for them.
Just to do a factory refurbish of an old B61 nuclear bomb (upgrading the fixed air fins for movable ones, exchanging the vacuum tube electronics for a microprocessor board, installing new data plugs, etc.) costs twenty million dollars. If that 750 lb bomb was made of solid gold, it would not cost that much!
An example of a defense contractor turning a simple upgrade job (they do nothing to the actual nuclear weapon within the bomb casing) into a nine billion dollar swindle.

lol

Sniping the world series and these digits.

(And look what it GOT you)
(shitposting to get a GET outside of the Zone)

yeah, giving money to the republican party which is in favor of passing more gun control or giving money to the gun rights activists groups who are backing the republicans who want to pass more gun control is really going to help us out.
there is the possibility of a senate filibuster stopping whatever happens, that seems to be the only hope. i'd say keep your money on the sidelines until you see someone worth supporting with it, you might end up feeling foolish giving money you could have otherwise used to drink yourself to death to some fork tongued devil who will turn around and screw you over in a second if it happens to be politically expedient at that moment.
politicians are really the last people who you should be fronting money to

Years ago, I was introduced to these bump-stock attachments in a gun store. "It turns your semi-auto AR-15 into firing like a machine-gun as a legal work-around to the gun laws against full-auto weapons," was the pitch. I replied that shit like this will be used to murder a whole lot of people some day and that will be instrumental in laws getting passed to take guns away from everybody else.
So fuck bump-stocks.
