False authority fallacy. Pivot fallacy. Pay attention to the conversation.

Polly wants OAN and a crooked washed up reality game show host with a horrible character and even worse ethics for President. What Polly needs is Lithium and a cracker. {LOL}.

OK Polly. If you say so.
The BBB says that many provisions do. Including the exemptions for tips and overtime, that have been such a boon for the working class.

Whereas only MSNBC and Young Turks will ever be considered "truthiness" to you?
The MAJOR difference between OAN and CNN is that OAN is accurate, CNN is DNC propaganda.
Maybe you should watch legitimate news occasionally - instead of Marxist bullshit?

False authority fallacy. See the federal tax code.

He's too hooked on the propaganda.
The actual bill is false authority?
Dude, seriously, you were wrong - just admit it.

I don’t watch any more MSNOW than I watch of Fox News. I take a few of each of there more serious and better journalistic shows in regularly while leaving the more talking points repeaters of both off my to do list.
I get my news the old fashioned way: Print media, printed in ink or online. WSJ, WaPo, Daily News, Star Ledger, BBC, Al Jezeera. That’s my steady six.
So you stick to fringe left dinosaur media.
WaPo is the least trusted major news daily in America. For good reason. Bezos bought it as his personal propaganda outfit. And it only got worse after he dumped it.
Hey, you're a lefty. That didn't happen because you consider various positions.

What you posted is not law.
Go read it. No tax rate expires in 2028.
No deduction expires in 2028. A deduction isn't even a tax rate.
The ability to claim a deduction on tips expires in 2029.
There is no expiration date on tax rates.

So you don't get any news. You only get propaganda that calls itself 'news'.

You don’t know much do you? WaPo is Bezos media and Bezos is a Trump supporter. Daily News is Murdock, like Fox News. WSJ is conservative. The Star Ledger is decidedly liberal but BBC and Al Jezeera play it right down the middle on U.S. news coverage.
ROFL
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAA
Okay, that's the funniest thing I've read in months. Yep, Bezos is right up with Rachel Maddow and AOC in his undying support of Trump.
Let's ask Grok...
{
No. Jeff Bezos is not a “big Trump supporter” in the ideological, long-term, or partisan sense. He has engaged pragmatically with Trump and his administration since mid-to-late 2024 (especially after the 2024 election), offering public praise on certain points and aligning business interests, but this followed years of open hostility and does not make him a committed supporter.
Historical context
During Trump’s first term, the relationship was antagonistic. Trump repeatedly attacked Bezos, Amazon (on taxes, antitrust, and other issues), and The Washington Post (which Bezos owns), and Amazon sued the Trump administration over a lost $10 billion cloud contract that it attributed in part to personal animosity. Bezos pushed back.
Recent engagement (2024–2026)
After the 2024 election, Bezos publicly congratulated Trump on an “extraordinary political comeback,” expressed optimism about the second term (especially deregulation), called Trump “calmer,” “more mature,” and “more disciplined” than in his first term, and said Trump “has lots of good ideas,” “has been right about a lot of things,” and deserves credit where due. He has dined with Trump, attended the inauguration (with Amazon donating $1 million), and made changes at the Post—blocking a planned Harris endorsement and later directing the opinion section toward “personal liberties and free markets.” Blue Origin has sought more government contracts amid the warmer ties.
In a May 2026 CNBC interview, Bezos reiterated positive comparisons to Trump’s first term while emphasizing that he works with presidents of both parties (citing Obama and Biden), is “on the side of America,” and is not partisan. Some reporting notes he has explicitly said he is not a Trump supporter.
Bottom line
The shift appears driven by business pragmatism—Amazon and Blue Origin face regulation, antitrust, contracts, tariffs, and space competition—rather than personal or ideological loyalty. Bezos has long been more associated with Democratic-leaning philanthropy and causes in the past, and employee donations from his companies have historically skewed Democratic. Public praise and engagement do not equate to being a “big Trump supporter.” Claims to the contrary overstate a recent, transactional thaw.}
WSJ had a conservative Editorial section, 30 years ago. But it is well left of center now and has been since at least the start of the Obama years.
ROFL
You're telling some WHOPPERS today. Al Jazeera is a Muslim Supremacist outfit. They are avid Israel and Jew Haters and support anything Islamist. The left and radical Islam have a symbiotic relationship.
BBC - Come on, you didn't type that with a straight face, you couldn't have. Are they as "middle of the road" as MSNBC, or maybe Raw Story?
IBDaMann
Probably the worse human in the threads
Let's turn our attention to your insane confusion that Trump is somehow Congress. Why do you even bother the rest of us at the adults' table? You have no business participating in this discussion. Learn the fundamentals of government first. The President is not Congress. I shouldn't be the first person to teach you this.
There are no Trump tax cuts. Congress owns everything about taxes, to include tax cuts, e.g. when they take effect and when they end.
FTFY.
Is this a problem? Have you contacted your representative?
