/ptg/ - PRESIDENT TRUMP GENERAL - STEEL RALLY EDITION

After initially promising to cut $16 billion over 4 years to balance the budget (Governor Ferguson only cut $25 million), he then raised taxes by $12 billion ($9 billion state and $3 billion local) which translates to $2,000-$5,000 more in taxes per year per family.

Ferguson: “I said, hey, we're not going to be able to tax our way out of this. It became equally clear early on in the process that we're not going to cut our way out of it.” The Governor ran as a Democrat centrist and was voted in by Washingtonians as someone who would preserve services but not increase taxes.

$5.6 billion from increased B&O taxes on businesses

$2.6 billion from expanded sales taxes on goods and services, including housing and healthcare

$1.6 billion from property-tax increases

$637 million from expanded income and capital gains taxes

$385 million from new taxes on storage units and other services

$281 million from a new tax on certain electric vehicle manufacturers, dubbed the “TeslaTax”

$0.06 gas tax increase

Additionally, fees for state services are increasing: child care copays 100%, nursing home per-bed fees 200%, hunting/fishing license fees 38%, Discover Pass fees 50%, and liquor license fees will also increase.

Washington State Republicans slammed the bill saying their alternative proposal could have balanced the budget without increasing taxes.

MAGA

Qrd on why there’s schizos spamming coomerpole and goonerleaf? I am trying to read up on my Trump news.

whoa dude you can't just spend less money

Lol what a retard shit state. They all deserve it.

What's the role of the japs? Why are japs needed? Should have ended them in 45.

awoo to yous!

You forgot your “WPWW” siggy.

What my homies sayin today?

Awoo them all

Steel Pokemon to USA.

Hey coomerpole, Ukraine status?

Wait, did someone jack off with their father?
What the fuck?

AWOOING

AWOO Indeed!

What a faggot

Yes they've become as retarded as Oregon and California. Their big companies will slowly but surely begin to leave as well as high income residents. It's over.

Steel mills are fucking kino

I think Nippon Steel will end up walking away from the deal because partnership would not give Nippon Steel the ability to fire US Steel management

get up

check news

Blimpf's war with Harvard continues

Blimpf's war with judges who want to block his deportations continues

Blimpf's trade war with Apple continues

Did I miss anything? Oh, that's right...tomorrow's Caturday and it's another gay, faggoty Memorial Day weekend in America where, apparently, 45 million of you fucking dweebs plan to travel more than 50 miles...good luck with that!

Mr. Pink refusing to tip a dollar

yeah it’s the polish flag who’s in every thread thinking he was here since 2015 (he discovered /ptg/ in 2021)

Pat Buchanan was right

Oh, the kike who simps for jewkraine. Not shocking at all

LEL, spammer got nailed

Good awoofternoon everywan

Because the executive listens and adheres to illegal orders as if they were legal? The maleficence doesn't magically begin with the abuse of an office, but of multiple in cooperation with one another. Trump should ignore illegal orders from judges. He should arrest and prosecute criminals.

I finally got the old thread up to 300. Days like this make me wish that I still could use my pass.

Should i play EU4 some more or load back up Ace Combat Zero, i dont want to be a try hard and probably ought to take a nap. Glad US Steel is back i want them to build ace combat megaweapons

WAGOP in general and Jim Walsh in particular were told to fight dirty to stop this but they just rolled over. It may be time for me to leave.

*muffled awooing*

not sending their best

Whoops, my phone has been on vibrate all day lol

Purge all who voted for either NDAA or Beijing Biden in 2021!

Remember that our Trump movement's roots are in the Tea Party.
Any Republican old enough to run for office will hold beliefs indicative of a Tea Party past.

This was for a woman's whole lifetime in the past decade! It feels like this is more like what a woman gets run through by 20 now.

It's rough. One of the main draws of Washington was no capital gains tax and thats been over for a few years now. Now increasing taxes on everything... ouch. Makes sense why so many people are going to Idaho from the entire west coast.

Most of these will be integrated over time, as well.

Chills. Could be that I'm drinking an Ice Cola in the AC, but still. That loud yelp sound you heard on the wind a second ago, that was me reading the Truth about X.

should I play this vidya or that vidya

You should take fucking nap, get up in time to greet a Memorial Day weekend Caturday, then go back to bed

Might by time for this WAwoo to depart and head back east to the New England states where my family resides

Could be, WAwoo, but you and only you can make that decision

The idea the federal government is unable to suspend visas for any reason is ridiculous. Hope some higher court makes a correct ruling (or better yet, the executive starts disregarding the courts entirely).

That's your post or something? No idea what that's supposed to mean

You know what type of faggotry you’ve been up to.

That would be a hazard. If you walk into any mil and it looks like that, run for an application at McDs. That place would kill you, AI does not know how to design a mill.

Good afternoon, generaleepastawoo
I'm sorry, but this pasta has to go...I'm remind you AGAIN:

no annexation

only balkanization

AWOOING

QUOLLADAY...EAT ME, YANKS

Gonna have to expand my quollfolder

I think its a bot, keeps calling people coomerpole even if the flags don't fit.

It's not just the taxes, it's the dire dating scene, and the shift from SaaS to defense/aerospace means a lot of jobs are east of the Rockies again.

So who has a right to an education at Harvard? Is it everyone outside the US?
It's wild that it's basically the elite angry that their kids can't rub shoulders with the elite from other countries in this gated university so that when they graduate they are part of a network that no one outside of is allowed to join.

Why are we even taking in students from countries belligerent to the US? And country in BRICS, CSTO, or China-aligned should receive an immigration reduction or even ban.

Brown people doing brown people things. I hope they keep bombing eachother so I can keep not caring.

No, they've been crying dictator, nazi, fascist, tyrant, criminal, etc., since 2016. 2015 if we're being honest. No one cares what (((they))) think anymore, least of all China.

Meanwhile in reality...

I love how it never clicks for you losers that if reality supported your worldview you wouldn't have to constantly lie and seek to deceive/mislead others to get them to agree with you.

That's what the guns are for.

talk to your local gunsmith about getting the ones you have put on a lathe.
could be cheaper.

I saw that earlier. And the gay porn spammer is angry at you.

What do you expect when you try dialoguing with a kike
It's ok, they are running on borrowed time anyway
Only so much evil they can commit before reckoning

orange man signed a 'stop fucking lying about shit' executive order

Tell us about the space niggers. Stop lying government

You retards spent the last two weeks pushing qtier lies saying Trump abandoned Israel based on nothing by anonymous Israeli sources lol. Who the fuck are you?

Yes, we all know how much you leftyfags love guns....

Where are the lies? That picture is real. The jewish psyop headcanon you just spewed is not. Still waiting on those tariffs to do something positive for us btw

Shill bros...I can't take it anymore. We lost. Trump isn't going to prison. Niggers got btfo yesterday. Our miga narrative is done. Our jeet narrative is shitted. Our dem voters which consists of 300 year Olds and illegals are being removed. Our child trafficking is being snuffed out due to lack of wars...and I'm being deported...to India. At least cp is legal there!

It's shoaver...

DR GLOBOHOMO WHO IS FINALLY OVER! FUCKING BBC FINALLY BROKE!

thesun.co.uk/tv/35088151/axed-doctor-who-ncuti-gatwa-new-job/

He can't until the next meeting. But yeah, the IMF and WB are in DC, their notes are in USD, and they exist, specifically, to intervene in global business, to their plans.
How much they talk back to the unFED, I'm not studied. I'm sure they're mostly taught to believe that "free trade" is the best and only anything, and that "lost profits" on deals that never happened and goods that never existed, are a real thing. Most importantly, sovereign is the richest jew in the room, but that's subtext.

Shill bros...it's over. We lose. We should apologize to Trump and /ptg/. We lost the miga narrative and the jeet narrative to invade America with poos via the Canadian border. There's no coming back from that. All we have accomplished is looking like shill retards on defense, defending shitsreal...the media is no longer talking about Tariffs because now its making money for america while every other country is shooting theirselves on the dei tranny wound train...also Biden has ball cancer. LIGMA BALLS!

it's joever...

pakis aren't paying the TV tax to watch intellectualist humanism and Christian culture science fiction

Wow. How many time could you fold an amalgam of US and Nippon steel?

dumb SS negress assigned to guard dumb obamma nigger, started a fight with the relief dumb SS negress that arrived late to relieve her.

nigger things in a federal nigger government.
Why is anyone guarding obama, other than a prison guard?

Have you ever seen C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America?

Isn't it their *entire* job to HEAD OFF these scenarios and not react a year late to them when we're already in the middle of it? Like that's the whole point? Because otherwise any literal retard could do their job of reacting to a big screen in front of them showing the bad economic situation already in progress.

So happy for this since Colorado passed a statement of intent that it would copy all of California's environmental initiatives.
The more California is fucked over the better for me.

SUPER RACISM

I dunno, anon. The reasons given for not placing a National Bank included that the private owners would be a hidden government, able to sway the population to their bidding by inflation and deflation in key moments. And if there's anything you can trust, it's jews ignoring a profit motive to assist some goy.

long weekend bros, how we feeling?

These fucking rats bro, they were all fucking stupid and they can't admit it.

Is Super Racism done by Supermen

Isn't everyday super racism day?

Super racism is what happens when black frieza kills krillin.

Shill bros...it's over. We lose...Trump just announce BIG BALLS OF STEEL production for america and our chink counterparts have nothing but small skinny fake metal which isn't even a metal to begin with! It's smeltedbdown dead chink bones fused with paint, poop and natural Chinese food, which consists of animals...shilling for the chinks is a losing battle, we all should just say that Trump is a Qtar spy...

It's ching Chong over...

YES, so fucking based

Yes

California is planning to sue

The funny thing about his SS protection is that the right doesn't care enough about him to do anything so the only danger that he faces is from the left (and random Washington DC nigger violence, of course).

Niggers are now mad they can't jump a mayo monkey and then say he said the nigger word. In all likelihood the nigger will be called a nigger and then shot. This makes the nigger mad. It's just like when other niggers call each other niggers and then shoot each other to death. Just like that.

It's excellent, man. It's actually made by a nigger who was upset about Dixie but it's actually perfect. Constant racist jokes about jiggaboos and stuff, glorification of Dixie as a powerful empire that conquers the USA and then goes on a global conquest campaign as a great colonial power and victor of WWII (joining hands with Hitler to secure the Axis victory of course), having great relations with Africa because we import so many niggers due to the massive demand for slaves, schizophrenic woke stuff that would not become mainstream ideology would over a decade after the film was released like calling for Aunt Jemima to be outlawed and talking about having a slave on a product is racist (but done in a way that makes it funny and makes you feel like America is really the glorious racist CSA), America conquering most of the New World because we need to establish the Golden Circle, etc. We can make the CSA real today. It's all in C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America. We just need Aunt Jemima on the nigger bottles again.

Finally someone has seen it! I always tell people that CSA is my ideology. It's really perfect. We need something like the CSA from Confederate States of America. If we made that mockumentary real, America would truly be greater than ever.

Super Rascism is making me...STRONGER!!!

Shill bros...it's over. We've been tricked by Trump again. Our miga narrative is dead. It turns out that Trump wasn't a nazi, hitler, kkk member, Russian spy, Chinese spy, shitsreal spy or the latest, a qtip spy at all, Trump is an american first spy. I didnt see that coming...Furthermore, he accepted a plane from the qtips. I didn't even know that they made planes... Now i dont have a problem with their products. They clean my ears pretty well. The point is this. Where's my plane?!?!!

It's koshver...

So, uh, where do Jews belong?

CSA at least wouldn't have let the Private Godless Goldless Bank that is the Federal Reserves, The IRS or Income Tax to come into existence.

Accidentally typed in Godless but had to keep it lol

So, uh, where do Jews belong?

t. Super racist

aren't they cursed to roam the earth without their own land?

In the morgue with the rest of the dead beat niggers who didn't listen to cops

'Targeted Victims'

What a bunch of bullshit. That excuse would make sense if they were talking about some foreign country where they have no access to the President or any video of him, but anyone could see that Sleepy Joe was braindead from at least 2019. Jewsmax even had a show called "The Biden Chronicles" during the first few years of his administration that highlighted how fucked up he was. You had to be wilfully blind or just a liar to claim that Biden was competent, and since they're in the media we all know which one it was.

YFW you made the Biden enemies list

Feels fucking fantastic

Annuls of History, Moshe defined a Jew as someone whose father could trace back to Jacob by Father, and/or who had been brought into the religion by a Levite whose father could trace back to Jacob by fathers.
None of those appear to be left walking the earth. Jesus and Elijah may be it.

They gotta cheer for something.

Desperate for any win at this point.
