Joe Biden's BIG PROBLEM : HUNTER.

| Hunter Biden , a bad boy Embarrassment |
Joe Biden's OTHER PROBLEM : HIS Tax Plan .
 |
| Is Joe Biden's TAX plan really (9.1)>>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez own tax plan ? |
50 Cent[ LOL 50 Cent don't know anyway how much he pays in taxes ] expressed his belief that Trump cares about a certain color [green] more than Joe Biden. That color is green.After taking a close look at Biden’s absurd proposed tax plan, which would lead New York’s residents to be taxed at an astronomical 62 percent, the rapper declared: (9)>>“IM OUT.” He added, “Don’t care Trump doesn’t like black people. 62% are you out of ya f-ing mind.”Joe Biden's plan to that “corporations” must pay tax is silly just because they don't and can't pay taxes — we're taxing some group of people instead. During a "pandemic" let's just raise taxes , so politicians are naturally going to spout off some pretty weird proposals. Given what voters believe, (10)>>it's not possible for every proposal to be useful and still appeal to us for our votes. However, Joe Biden's tax proposals manage to be wrong in both theory and practice, which is pretty good going even by the low standards of politics. So who makes over400,000$? Yes, we have the super so rich , their tax rate is at 30 % already . Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden wants to raise taxes to pay for an agenda that includes fighting climate change and expanding child care, pushing federal revenue about 9% above what it would be without any policy changes in the next decade. See (here’s a good rundown) So is it just the "high ends" ? If you have a monthly salary is it possible that you would be in another tax bracket? I suspect that ANYONE that has a monthly salary will see their taxes go up . The "exempt" are the hourly wage workers . IF It does impact everyone including those making $50K because the higher marginal tax rates will likely result in high earners remote working from either a low tax state or a low tax country, thereby reducing the tax base where social expenditures are highest. They are the least geographically constrained and have the resources to take residence elsewhere (see: Eduardo Saverin). Increasing taxes beyond a certain point creates an adverse incentive to move and take the tax base with them. People over $400K pay most of the taxes. The top 1% paid 39% of all income tax. This tax plan is very similar. In fact, it’s a combination [copy] of proposals that Obama did , (11)>>with ideas that Sanders and AOC tried to push . No. 93% of the overall increased tax burden will be borne by the top 20%, the rest will be shared among the bottom 80%. However it's important to know that while the tax burden will increase (slightly, and very slight for low income earners Biden would have to win the presidency and his Democratic Party would have to gain control of the Senate and keep control of the House of Representatives in the Nov. 3 election for his tax proposals to become law.
Rudy Giuliani's BAD MOVIE !
IF its all part of the show; I am more surprised people think it WASN'T staged and he was in on it.. people don't understand movies or skits apparently these days, it was only done to make him look bad bc like you said, days after he drops the motherlode story .Poor Rudy Giuliani could be set for a further blow with the release of highly embarrassing footage in (11)>>Sacha Baron Cohen’s follow-up to Borat. Why he was in Cohen's film is a bizarre as it gets. In the film, released on Friday, the former New York mayor and current personal attorney to Donald Trump is seen reaching into his trousers and apparently touching his genitals while reclining on a bed in the presence of the actor playing Borat’s daughter, who is posing as a TV journalist. We’ve learned how the powerful elite use honey pots to set up opposing parties and foreign government officials with the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Keep this in minds. Ok? This is important to remember.

| Ok Rudi , how did you end up in Borat 2. |
NOTES AND COMMENTS:
(1)>>"ban all gas powered car's by 2035 ". Andrew Wheeler, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has warned California Governor Gavin Newsom that his executive order to ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2035 is ridiculous, and quite possibly illegal.On Monday Wheeler warned Newsom in a letter, stating that the order seemed “mostly aspirational.” He noted that for California to go through with the order, large sections of it would require federal authorization. California had its first rolling blackouts in nearly 20 years last month when demand for electricity during a heat wave was so high the state ran out of power. More than half a million homes and businesses lost power for about an hour. The state came close to mandatory power shutoffs a few other times this year, but was able to avoid them.The blackouts in August were complicated by a heat wave that blanketed much of the West, making it more difficult for California to purchase surplus power from other states. Newsom has ordered an investigation of the blackouts and has signed an emergency proclamation allowing more energy users and providers to tap into backup power. (1.2)>>AOC's "Green Deal" . Though scant on details of what a transportation overhaul might look like, the Green New Deal — really a framework designed to generate more specific policy proposals — has already caused a partisan stir around what a remade and more just transit system might look like. This deal is about getting rid of gas powered cars nation wide , it's vary costly, THE QUESTION of what to do with millions of vehicles that would have to scrapped, together with the batteries alone . . Like ,While California accounts for about half of the ZEVs on American roads, they are still fewer than 2% of the nearly 30 million cars and light trucks in California. California would have to replace 30 million cars for each Californian .Unless California, along with other states and countries, supports a market for ZEVs that ensures vehicle performance, range, safety, functionality, price, and choice for automobile consumers, then California residents alone will be left with higher energy and transportation costs without a material effect on global (greenhouse gas) emissions. Gasoline-powered cars themselves are becoming far more efficient, thanks to new technology and new materials. No one anticipates that gasoline engines will be regulated out of existence. (2)>>Last Year Gov. Newsom was prepping for ending the gas powered auto industry in California . IN 2019 ,Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration enacted a new directive preventing the state government and state agencies from buying gas-powered vehicles except for public safety vehicles.It should give a boost to electric vehicle sales for government fleets, but in order to more directly affect the automakers who are fighting the state’s clean air regulations, they are also banning the state government from buying cars from those automakers. The California state government has fired back against the Trump administration’s attempt to destroy the state’s emission regulations and those of ZEV states. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration enacted a directive yesterday which would prevent agencies from buying most gas-powered sedans and any vehicles made by the few automakers siding with Trump’s “EPA”. Trump’s EPA is rolling back previously agreed-upon stricter emission regulations for the auto industry that would have forced automakers to produce more efficient vehicles, including electric cars. (3)>>I'd bet that by 2035 this law will look silly as people will only want to buy electric cars. There are some obvious reasons the public isn’t buying into EVs, such as upfront costs, lack of availability, and range anxiety. However, many myths have clouded the segment for some time now. Some of these myths may be somewhat valid in certain circumstances or may have been true in the past, but times are changing and technology has improved drastically since EVs first entered the market.Currently, EVs comprise less than 2% of the automotive market in the U.S. This means it will be many years before adoption is widespread. However, with a multitude of automakers bringing electrified vehicles to market in the near future, growth is accelerating more rapidly. Over time, with more electric vehicles available, increased charging infrastructure deployment, and reduced production and battery costs, the EV segment should begin to prosper. Part of the reason for reduced fears is that EVs are shipping with more potent battery packs capable of covering 300 miles or more per charge. The $79,000 Tesla Model S (before tax incentives) promises a 370-mile range, while the 2020 Porsche Taycan ($130,000 estimated) is expected have a range of least 300 miles per charge. The financial damage from EV overreach could be severe. Global automakers will spend $225 billion on EV development between now and 2023, according to AlixPartners. But with overall auto sales falling in China, Europe and the United States, automakers face a “profit desert” for several years — or longer, if customers don’t come around. (4)>>Then there's PG&E's willingness to . California has the worst power grid of any state in America , it's under the control of the PG&E monopoly, California is known for its rolling blackouts. BUT EVs are the biggest "electric load opportunity for utilities" since the 1950s air conditioning explosion, a May 2019 Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) study reports. But without proper planning to integrate that load, "EVs could lead to grid constraints and increased transmission and distribution peaks" that require new "peaker plants, unplanned grid upgrades, and other costly solutions." For Newsom's plan to work ,the entire state would have overhaul the entire power grid . EV's second of all need better batteries , charging stations as well. (5)>>Who's going to pay for the required charging stations in apartment complexes and urban buildings? As an editorial in the Los Angeles Times notes, "the state's largest electric utilities are scrambling to get charging stations built over the next few years at workplaces, apartment buildings, shopping centers and other gathering spots." If a state like California has a mandate to boost zero-emission vehicles to a majority of the cars on its roads by 2050, and charging stations are a necessary piece of the puzzle, then who should pay? Charging stations Many industry experts argue that, short of a Marshall Plan-type investment in infrastructure, government decrees to wean tens of millions of drivers off gas nozzles and onto plugs — among the greatest energy revolutions in history — are unrealistic. Electric vehicle owners — nearly 1.2 million of them on U.S. roads today — share the thrills of being energy-efficient and progressive. But they also have one big worry in common: where to plug in.Depending on the state, access to public charging stations can be adequate — or nearly nonexistent.Purchases of electric vehicles are growing at an astronomical rate — an 81% increase from 2017 to 2018, according to the Edison Electric Institute, which tracks electricity use — and nothing indicates the trend will slow dramatically any time soon. But if anything could stunt the growth, it’s the lack of power charging stations in some states.Drivers can experience “range anxiety” wondering how far they can drive before the next charge and where to find a station before the car dies. It’s the electric vehicle equivalent of driving a traditional car on an isolated country road with the gas gauge hovering near empty. (6)>>Trump's plan to dig up dirt on Biden last year.This is what drives me crazy. Trump got impeached because HE was OVERTLY EXTORTING a foreign government for aid in a hit on Biden regarding Hunter. They got caught trying to set their Hunter Biden scam up! Trump knew. We know he knew! And then Rudy and Trump couldn't come up with a better Plan B (OBAMAGATE!) and so they deployed Plan A anyway. This isn't them getting duped by Russia. This is them openly colluding with them before our eyes. They got caught planning it. Now they are springing the trap we all knew was coming. While I believe Hunter Biden probably did everything he’s accused of (and more) what’s the purpose of Rudy going on a second rate news show and saying “We will release this information over the course of 5 days” ? Why not just give the information?One of the tenants of the art of war is to “act weak when strong, act strong when weak”. Trump isn’t dumb neither is Biden. I just don’t understand. Did this info legit just come to light a month before the elections? Early voting already started... why not drop this 3 months ago?Again, maybe I’m too paranoid but it just does not add up. The odds of hunters laptop showing up 1 month before the election seems too crazy. I have my thoughts but wondering what you think? (7)>>"threatened to withhold $1 BILLION in U.S. aid to Ukraine" . In this clip from a January 2018 appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations, former Vice President Joe Biden seems to brag about threatening to withhold military aid to Ukraine as a pressure tactic to force the firing of a prosecutor he did not like. Biden and many prominent names from the Obama administration say that the removal of the prosecutor was official U.S. policy at the time. Hunter, according to emails obtained by the New York Post, arranged a meeting for his father, then vice president, with Ukrainian Vadym Pozharsky, a senior adviser to the corrupt energy company Burisma, which was paying Hunter $50,000 a month for a no-show job.Biden has repeatedly said that he had no knowledge of Hunter’s business dealings. He called the revelation a “smear.”The “smear” is Pozharsky’s email to Hunter which says, ”Thank you for inviting me to DC and giving me the opportunity to meet your father and spent {sic} some time together.” Some smear.Eight months later Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine unless top Ukrainian officials fired Ukrainian Prosecutor Viktor Shokin who was investigating corruption at Burisma. He was fired. (8)>>The Biden campaign has been understandably reluctant to respond. The Biden campaign has been understandably reluctant to respond, for fear of giving the story legitimacy. Still, Biden has said his son made a mistake. Family friends say the vice president is reluctant to publicly criticize Hunter Biden further, but they stress that both Bidens have learned the painful lesson that a president’s children should stay away from international business. Would that the Trump family recognized that rule. The danger that Hunter Biden’s Burisma connection might be misused was illustrated soon after. Burisma posted a photograph on its website of Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s business partner, standing with the then-vice president before an American flag at what appeared to be the White House. Archer, with Hunter Biden, joined the Burisma board in the spring of 2014. Five days later, Vice President Biden visited Ukraine, and he soon after was described in the press as the “public face of the administration’s handling of Ukraine.” The day after his visit, on April 22, Archer joined the board of Burisma. Six days later, on April 28, British officials seized $23 million from the London bank accounts of Burisma’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky. Fourteen days later, on May 12, Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma, and over the course of the next several years, Hunter Biden and Devon Archer were paid millions of dollars from a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch for their participation on the board. (9)>>“IM OUT.”Trump promised tax cuts for American's and I'm saving $3500 a year because of them. That's pretty good IMO and is a promise Trump kept. For both tax cuts and infrastructure he needs Congress. Congress was ok with the tax cuts but Dem's demanded even more $$$$$$ for infrastructure in order to sign on. So no infrastructure.Trump’s tax plan will reduce taxes by thousands of dollars for millions of Americans, but could require fewer people to pay more taxes. Clouse reviewed President-elect Trump’s tax plan at the request of Denver7 Investigates. His analysis considers numbers from the Tax Policy Center and shows a married couple without children making $50,000 will save $577 a year, or about nine percent.Married couples without children who make $100,000 stand to save $1,338 or about eight percent, Clouse said.The savings grow to $4,647 for couples making $200,000. That’s a savings of about ten percent, for married couples without kids.Those couples earning $1 million a year stand to save 12 percent or about $41,511.40.(9.1)>>Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez own tax plan ? But now, four years later, former vice president Joe Biden thinks he has a better idea. In his third run for the White House, Biden is proposing tax increases of nearly $4 trillion over the next 10 years. If he wins in November and these increases were to pass, they’d be the highest in American history — indeed, in world history. Further, while Ocasio-Cortez has not released details of any other tax hikes to pay for her plan, this would likely not be the only income tax increase if she had her way. For instance, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) proposed a $2 trillion 2.2 percent payroll tax on all families and a $10 trillion 6.2 percent payroll tax on all businesses as part of his socialized healthcare plan. Additionally, Biden proposes a “carbon tax” — a new form of gas tax — on America’s world-leading oil and natural gas production. And he has asked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez(D-N.Y.), architect of the Green New Deal, to co-chair his campaign on climate change. Biden’s tax increases would raise taxes on middle-class families by over $2,000 a year, with a $1,300 annual tax increase on a median-income, single parent with one child. Repealing Trump’s tax reform would cut in half the child tax credit and standard deduction, which currently help lower-income families the most.There’s more: Biden proposes to reinstate the ObamaCare individual mandate tax,which hits lower-income and middle-class households the hardest, with an estimated bill of $695 to $2,085 per family. Most households paying that tax made less than $50,000 a year. Remember, Trump’s 2017 tax reform zeroed out that ObamaCare tax, to help working people. (10)>>it's not possible for every proposal to be useful and still appeal to us for our votes. 52% of American's said they are better off today then when Obama was President. Go figure...hardly anyone got raises for Obama's 8 "golden years". And millions like myself lost their good insurance plans and got forced into high deductible plans. Then there's Trump's the tax cuts...I'm saving $3500 of my money each year because of them. (11)>>with ideas that Sanders and AOC tried to push . Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said former Vice President Joe Biden is not progressive enough in multiple policy areas but predicted that he "likely" can be pushed further to the left once he's elected president. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a former Democratic presidential candidate, is reportedly concerned Biden is not progressive enough at this point in the campaign, and Ocasio-Cortez said she agrees with that assessment. Biden and Sanders differed throughout the primary on a number of issues, particularly whether a government-run system should replace private health insurance. Biden has continued to resist Sanders’ “Medicare for All” plan and has instead promoted a public option that would operate alongside private coverage. The former vice president has taken steps to embrace some policies favored by the more liberal wing of the Democratic Party, aware that he will need those voters to turn out for him against President Trump. (11)>>Sacha Baron Cohen’s 
follow-up to Borat. In a scene from the film (out this Friday on Amazon), Giuliani is tricked into entering the bedroom of a hotel suite by Maria Bakalova, portraying Borat’s daughter. Posing as a TV journalist, the 24-year old actor invites Giuliani for a fawning interview for a made-up conservative news program. During their encounter, the attorney drinks Scotch, coughs and ignores social distancing measures. At one point, he even tells Bakalova that the president’s speedy responses in the spring saved the lives of a million Americans from dying from coronavirus outbreaks. “I’d say he saved a million lives,” Giuliani responds before coughing. The presented nature of the meeting appears unclear enough to raise some red flags for Giuliani and his team.The encounter proceeds before eventually being interrupted by Cohen in character as Borat, who states that she's 15, but not before Giuliani is seen making remarks about Tutar's appearance and joining her in a bedroom. Under the guise of a mic operator, Borat comes in and adjusts Giuliani’s mic and asks, “Is she asking too many questions?”The pair retreat, at her suggestion, for a drink to a bedroom that is equipped with concealed cameras capturing the attorney’s every move. After she removes his microphone, Giuliani says, “You can give me your phone number and address.” He is then seen lying back on the bed, fiddling with his shirt before reaching into his trousers. He is interrupted by Borat who runs into the room and says: “She’s 15. She’s too old for you.”Giuliani tweeted Wednesday that he was tucking in his shirt and that the video is “a complete fabrication.” (12)>>begins to yell how she’s underage and only 15 years old.. Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova, 24, who plays Tutar, conducted the bogus interview for a fake conservative news program in the film.In the leaked clip, Tutar suggests Giuliani join her for a drink in the hotel suite rigged with with hidden cameras. Her character also gets called Sandra Jessica Parker in the film.At one point in the film, Borat tries to offer Tutar to the Vice President as a ceremonial gift in an attempt to bring honour to Kazakhstan. (13)>>Giuliani floated that he was being targeted because of his role in revealing the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop. Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to tarnish Joe Biden’s presidential campaign continued in Delaware when he visited a police station to share files from what he said was Hunter Biden’s laptop. If the stakes were not high, it would be a laugh-riot to listen to people who relied on the Steele dossier in an Intelligence Community assessment, and in four sworn FISA warrant applications, going on now about the Biden laptop being a “Russian disinformation” hoax. It is said that the president’s private lawyer, Rudy Giuliani(who hired me as a U.S. prosecutor many years ago), was dealing with people suspected of Kremlin ties when he investigated the Bidens’ business and political activities in Ukraine. Even if that’s true — and we don’t know that it is — what that has to do with a laptop apparently left by Hunter Biden in a Delaware repair shop is not obvious. (By contrast, it’s not surprising that one tracking down shady doings, as Giuliani was doing, would have to deal with shady people.)But the owner of the computer store, John Paul MacIsaac, was unable and unwilling to answer key questions about how the laptop supposedly arrived in his store, and eventually, how the data was shared with Giuliani.Giuliani apparently held the information for months and released it less than three weeks before the election.
