Had a look at income tax in 1945 and applied them to 2025 dollars. Unlike today, there are 24 brackets; 20 split differences between 100k+ up to 3.6M+
In other words, if you make under 70k, you wouldn't be taxed more than 25%. If you make 100k-1M, you might be taxed anywhere from 29-78%.

Nuke the filibuster. Use the chair. Gerrymander. Low blow. When the ref is bumped. It's all fair game, and nobody wants a loser Babyface who refuses to use the same tactics as the heel they're fighting. 2/
Been saying for years how anyone who knows wrestling "got" Trump. From his appeal in 2016 to his first victory to his bizarre and unprincipled fan base to now. It's all in pro wrestling. It's how you justify Dems fighting back. 1/
Some of you never paid enough attention to professional wrestling and it shows. A surprising “face turn” always, always, ALWAYS ends back in a return to “heel”.
This is of course a post about Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

Absolutely disgusting what trans women have to put up with in this political climate. That the President has sexually assaulted women, raped his wife, raped children, and trafficked women and people support him and hate trans women only adds insult to grievous injury.
