You should probably keep it that way tbh. I feel like it's one of those movies people love because it they thought it was the funniest thing ever when they were 13. It has a couple moments but I put it in the same category with stuff like Joe Dirt, Happy Gilmore, Grandma's Boy and The Jerky Boys Movie.

For me, Dirty Work has aged better than the other movies you listed, and I'd argue it's deserving of its cult classic status. I'd like to believe there are enough gags and cameos for any fan of 90s comedy, but what the hell do I know? I saw it at release when I was 13.

Yeah, Trump outperformed polls. The polling isn't reliable. Trump was already defeated in 2020, though it was very close. This would be the first election since January 6, and I just don't think there are enough people with an appetite for that. Then throw the Roe v Wade repeal in there.
He also isn't the incumbent during the worst part of an epidemic and world-historic economic contraction this time, either. I don't trust myself to intuitively grant weight to the issues that people will care about.

The plane Trump chartered last week when his own jet was having trouble had a previous owner. That's just bad luck, dude.
He had a yacht in the 90's for a couple years called The Princes, he was forced to sell it after that Taj Mahal project went bust.
It was previously owned by the Kashoggi family. (that dude who got chopped up in Turkey by the Saudi's)

Some influencer just had his on his podcast and gave hm a Cybertruck.
Why? Dude doesn't even drive. He had a Lambo in the 80's he never put any miles on.

If Trump media stock keeps it value he might actually become as rich as he always says he was.
Q2 Losses of 16M, 1M in revenue still at $25 right now.

I still give this whole thing a 50-50 chance.

Go on Reddit or any other left leaning publication/platform and you'd think Kamala it's more like 80-20 favoring Kamala.

It's still a toss up no matter how many "fuck couches" jokes we get. Go on Twitter, it's a sea of misinformation. Facebook is littered with right wing memes.

The people that voted for him 2016 are coming back to vote for him again and unless this is a blowout (unlikely), get ready for Trump and co. to fight every single county they can to try and get votes overturned.

You're 100 percent right. Keep expectations low for a Harris victory.

They couldn't even properly steal the last election when Trump was sitting president. Why do you think they'll be more successful under a Biden administration? Even the judges Trump appointed himself laughed his arguments out of court.

Unless the Democrats shoot themselves in the foot in epic, hilarious fashion they're going to cruise to the white house.

They've had 4 years to prepare and in places like Georgia, they even have electors put in place that are likely to dissent.

Dems better play it low-key humble. They thought 2016 was a lock also.

I hope dude gets smashed to smithereens, and bugs out to Venezuela if he loses.

It’s by no means a foregone conclusion that Harris takes it.

He told Elon that was the plan if he lost, their next live stream on X would be from there.

The context is Trump claims Venezuela has sent all its worst criminals and gang members over here thanks to Biden's lax border control. As a result, America is having a crimewave and Venezuela is now very safe.

I was going to say that’s some epic doublethink logic but on second thought that’s just brain damage.

It's just Trump joking around with his usual trolling.

Since both Trump and Harris have called for ending taxes on tips, why can't someone introduce the legislation now and do it?

Repealing the income tax sounds great. I’m all for it. That’s what we’re talking about, right, because tips are wages.

He probably meant Argentina but doesn't know the difference
Or maybe he meant Brazil?
He put Bolsonaro up for a minute in Mara' Lardo after he lost.
Guess he's ended up back there and is currently holed up in the Hungary Embassy trying to get his passport back to "visit" Israel.

I think Russia is the best place for Trump, he should room with either Snowden or Putin.

Tips are not wages. That's the point of not taxing them as wages. Employers pay wages and deduct them as a business expense. Tips are gifts and are not generally deductible by the tipper, who has already paid taxes on the money used to tip. It's double taxation and a pain in the ass to calculate.

Not taxing tips decreases tax revenue so the responsible thing to do would be to raise taxes or cut spending elsewhere which probably isn't going to happen.

Repealing the income tax isn't realistic at this point as it would turbocharge the deficit, national debt and inflation even further.

Tips currently are wages.

They’ll have to get rid of the sub-minimum wage laws that are currently on the books for tipped employees.

Why doesn’t congress do anything right now?

Because they don’t care and haven’t worked a day in their life and if on the off-chance they have it was so many decades ago they’ve forgotten.

I’m sure both sides want the legislation as their win. Republicans will block it until Trump is in office and then the Democrats will block it.

Neither side wants to govern.

I apologize for going 40% Xavier but the remaining 60% was an old man STK rant.
