The glasses gave it away for me. They just scream DDR Stasi and I'll bet Putin chose them himself.

He will have to keep on pounding Sinema first and foremost into dust before he goes after the Republican candidate (whoever that will be).
First black governor of Maryland’s inauguration going on right now. Pretty huge being here
What a douche canoe. We are actually adding that course next year at my high school.

That is, unsurprisingly, very dumb.
It’s also regressive as feck and hits the lowest earners the hardest.
And it’ll never pass the senate.

What will be shocking is if a few Republican normies vote with the Dems to smother it in the crib.
But they won’t to cover their right flanks.
Nothing this House proposes will ever pass the Senate!
I wonder if anyone has bothered to work out how much the Governmnnt would get from this as opposed to what they get now
Typical R nonsense. Someone may also want to remind McCarthy he's not POTUS and can't simply roll out new polices like that.
Would make my job a hell of a lot easier so hopefully it gets passed!
So you wanna be broke I assume?
What does the "AP" stand for?

Cheers bro
The main difference is that AP classes (Red in Stl got the name for you) provide college credit. So essentially Desantis is saying that these classes shouldn't give college credits. Part of his larger initiative to transform education into right-wing values only.
He basically doesn't want them going to college .... because all colleges are full of liberals of course!
And he’s trying to change that…

Was a very tongue-in-cheek comment and is clearly never going to happen, but still think I'd have a lot of clients who simply could not be bothered to total their income and expenses for example.
But as I understand it, and I might be wrong, is they're proposing no federal income tax but 30% tax on everything you purchase

And his response will be "Biden isn't a member of Congress, he's just a Chinese or whatever stooge"
I'm starting to wonder whether George Santos is actually a real person.

He is. He just lies more than most, except for Donald Trump of course.
Could he actually be Trump's long lost love child?
Obviously an attempt to position herself as a running mate for Trump

I joked to myself ages ago that George Santos is the disappointing son of Matt Santos from The West Wing and now I keep forgetting it isn't true.
That will hit the lower and middle class, and essentially leave the super-rich almost non taxed, am I reading this right?
Won't get to voting in the Senate.
Correct on both fronts.
Sales tax is the analogous thing to VAT, right? From what I checked, it is less than 7% in most states (compared to VAT being around 20% in EU). Increasing it to 30% might be okay, or even beneficial for low/middle class if they do not pay the federal tax (which is 28.4% in average). Essentially, with average sale tax in US being 5%, the net benefit in average would be 28.4 - (30 - 5) = 3.4%. So, most people will pay the same in taxes.
However, when it comes to the wealthy, they essentially become tax-free (their expenses are infinitesimal compared to their income, while for working class, the expenses are similar to income). Essentially, the biggest tax break for the rich ever.
In case of a unified Republican government in 2 years, will the likes of 'moderate' Republicans go with it? This is so shameless that it does not even try to hide that it is an exclusively tax break for the rich.
