Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Parkbandit]

Debunk away.

Just because someone applies for a job doesn't automatically mean they will be hired.

Debunked.

Or do what you always do. Apologize for Trump while he walks all over you and the voters to get his tax cuts while you get dick.

Be specific: How is Trump walking all over me again?

Dude, I'm sorry you didn't get a tax cut. I most certainly did. In 2018, I saved over $8,000 in payroll taxes alone.

I would have gotten a bigger tax cut had my house purchase not closed after the first due to a fucknut of a seller. Nothing like having to count a down payment withdrawn from a 401K and have the seller delay to screw up a refund. Still, not nearly as bad as it would have been without the tax cuts.

Seriously Back, Buzzfeed, they are less reliable than MotherJones and Vox and both of those are worse than adds in the back of comic books from the 70s.

Remember when the media went into a frenzy because Trump tweeted something with a 6 sided star and they insisted it was supposed to represent the Star of David and therefore Trump hates the Jews?

Look at this cartoon published by the NYT:



Yeah. The PM of Israel depicted as a dog with an actual Star of David hanging from his collar while Trump wears a yarmulke.

But I guess I shouldn't expect much else from a newspaper that hired a racist who said white people are only fit to live underground like groveling goblins.

Debunked.

Thats not debunking the report that says out of 58 American applicants they only hired 1 and that they instead actually went to the trouble and paid for shipping over 300 non-Americans here to fill those jobs.

You're making excuses.

If you think its because the applicants weren't qualified I have a wall to sell you that Mexico will pay for. I would put money down that the Americans weren't hired, and the non-Americans were, were because of how much they would accept to get paid. Nothing more and nothing less.

Trump promised to make America great again by stopping immigration and bringing more jobs. He got the votes then did the exact opposite.

And anecdotal evidence isn't going to work. Anyone on a message board can say TRUMP GABE ME MILS! I'd like to see some general tax return statistics for 2018 and 2019.

As if there are no jews working at the NYT. Grow up.

[Tgo01]

No.

You should probably pay more attention to politics.

So because Jews work at the NYT means they can't post something anti-semitic? Interesting. So since Trump has Muslims, Jews, gays, blacks, Asians, whites, men, and women working for him I guess that means he can't be racist, sexist, homophobic, or Islamophobic.

You've cracked the case, Back!

Thanks for providing an example of false equivalence and cognitive dissonance all in one post.

Thanks for making less sense than usual.

I'd like to see some general tax return statistics for 2018 and 2019.

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/filing-...-april-19-2019

Not that refunds are accurate for determining if a person got more or less back in a single tax year (you'd know that if you knew anything about taxes), but hey... per the IRS, 300K more people got refunds this year that last year, day to day. Oh, refund amount slipped a hair, but 300K more people. Since I actually work in the industry, I also know that the people who got more back, are low income folks. EIC taxpayers, HOH, under 90K, etc. 12/24K standard deduction helps a ton of people.

So now that you have non anecdotal evidence, I'm sure we can expect a different response right? Oh wait, I forget who I'm talking too, you don't like it when facts dispute your retarded opinion.

Looks like NYT is apologizing over this. You win this round, Tgo!
