Do you think congress may have forgotten how their job works? Like I remember learning the importance of congress in middle school. Power of purse and all that. Why is the congress petitioning the president for legislation? Can we please replace the congressmen who don’t understand what their job description is? Every day in the news its just “Legislator asking someone else to do their job” “Legislature confused on how laws are made” “legislator claiming the presidents office is just better at making laws”

    The most interesting part of this is the timing. 11 months since the trump admin did the largest pump and dump in human history during the great tariff terror of 2025. I was there watching markets drop 5-7% a day for a week. I was there when my accounts got major margin calls at the low. I was there when trump tweeted on truth social and the markets rose 20% in one day and almost 100% over the next 6 months.

    So I know a $200 Billion capital gains tax relief package when I see it! More tax cuts for the rich. Congress has no hopes of passing it so they are hoping the president can wave his magic wand and cough up $200B

      It wasn’t enough that they stole all your money and manipulated markets, they need a tax break on all the money they stole!

        200 billion is peanuts to the tens of trillions the neoliberal-conservative cancer has been stealing from the working class for the last 50 years. They won’t stop until they rule all life on Earth, or kill all life on Earth.

        Late stage capitalism is fascism, and the fact that Luigi was an anomaly — even after our governments and intelligence agencies are proven to be run by criminally corrupt pedophiles — proves how mentally ill our entire civilization truly is. We are little more than talking apes, and we prove it every single day.
