American Politics during the Trump Presidency

[Mike4346]

Mike, nam was after, Patton wanted to take Russia, MacArthur wanted to finish off North Korea and take China.

We wouldn't be in the shit we are in now.

Yes you are correct we wouldn't be in the shit we are now, it would be worse.

Should the title of this thread be changed to "American Politics during the Biden Presidency" now that we have a new President, or would simply "American Politics" be preferable? After the "honeymoon" period is over for the new administration, surely there will be new controversies and criticisms.

Good call, sage and foreseer. A generic forum title and politics (as usual) warrant this request, IMO.

LOL you forgot Vietnam.

Wish we could forget 'Nam. Often disguised as a quest for its natural resources; politically beaucoup dinki dau, that one.

Same shit back to WW2 and Truman, we could have had north korea, China, and russia.

Same shit. Still racist shit around, we are still in a pandemic, people still doing stupid stuff, still got immigrant / child problem at the border, Biden went straight to bombing Iran targets in Syria which we have absolutely no business doing. Politicians are all the same to me.

I know he's after Trump but what does everyone think of Joe Biden couple months into his presidency?

It's really hard to say anything good right now.

Turbo tax is the way to go. I was paying an account $250 every year until she passed and was turned on to turbo tax, it's not as hard as you might think. They have live support for a reasonable fee as well.

You really ought to try Turbo Tax if you don't have a complicated tax return (ie. Corporation, partnerships, business, etc). I have rental properties and invest in stocks and Turbotax Premier (currently on sale at Costco) works fine. It carries everything over (depreciation, losses) to the next tax year too. Includes the Hawaii tax return and also a free federal income tax e-filing for a fast refund.

Agree, you want pussy for fee, vote um all out! Not a single incumbent is worthy. Maybe they start OK, but get sucked the machine.

Just vote for anyone but incumbents. That way everyone recieves a vote except thise crooked incumbents. Then there's no way they can win their seat back. Simple.

Aloha!

This post is about politics, although it isn't about Trump.

Recently there have been various posts on the forum concerning the idiotic government crackdown on prostitution in Honolulu, which also could affect visitors from the neighbor islands. Government officials have promised that the crackdown will continue. Of course, the crackdown primarily focuses on compensated sexual services between consenting adults that have nothing whatsoever to do with the bogeyman of "sex trafficking".

Election Day in Hawaii is Tuesday, November 6. Most of Hawaii's voters, like obedient little sheep, will continue to vote for the same Democrats and Republicans who want to exert government control over your private life and restrict your freedom of choice. It's reminiscent of the famous saying: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, yet expecting different results". However, for a few positions, there's an alternative to the same old, same old. The Libertarian Party, whose guiding principle is individual freedom, has Hawaii candidates running in several races. Realistically, it will be impossible for them to beat the "establishment" candidates. Yet, if you're disgusted with the government trying to control your private sex life and violate your freedom of choice (and the freedom of choice of consenting adult providers), and you live in a district where a Libertarian candidate is on the ballot, you might want to consider voting for the Libertarian candidate at least as a protest vote.

Speaking of taxes, sorry didn't really know where to ask this:

Anybody know of a good tax specialist? Or tax accountant? I know get like HR block, but if anybody knows a good, honest person with reasonable rates, PM me.

I don't want to use Turbo Tax or any kind of software like that. TIA,
