Pivoting from the General Waltz controversy, Harris come out to say something about not taxing tips. My question for her would be if Trump is so bad, why are you adopting his policy positions as your own?

Especially after she voted in favor of the IRS going after tips.
A. Because she is lying about it, and
B. Trump's pledge to not tax tips put Nevada in play.
Other than for blatant political pandering, why wouldn't we tax tips? Why do people in X line of work not have to pay taxes on their income, but people in Y line of work do?

Supposedly, but I couldn't independently verify from any sources from my phone.

I don't have a position. What I DO find interesting is that Harris et al. call Trump "literally Hitler" but adopts his position.
All of us are "literally Hitler" and/or "literally nazis" (or at least white supremacists) if we don't toe the left's line.

I’m not trying to bust balls, but if you made an attempt to validate it, and then couldn’t validate it, why post it?
He may have gotten it from a source who reported reliably in the past. I probably would have done the same thing.
I did some Googling and it seems a whole lot of people are reporting on it right now. Of course it could be single-source and circular, but I'm not getting that sense yet.
I don't have an issue with tax- free tips.
My experience is people who rely on tips typically earn a lower wage. I tip based on performance, and usually tell the recipient that it is a gift, not a tip ( tax free then ).
We give all sorts of tax breaks to companies, individuals, why not service workers?

Consider that you now have to pay minimum wage in a bunch of jurisdictions, the point of not taxing tips is no longer relevant and you should tax it extra.
If single source reporting is good enough to spark a 20 year war, with thousands of lives lost, and trillions in the shitter, it's good enough for 90 days of election season.

I couldn't find anything to immediately invalidate it. The benefit of community notes is that context might be added eventually

FWIW, the screenshot matches the profile picture of John Kolb's actual FB account.
Well, the leftist media and the vet-left are going to be all up in that guy's business now.

I found his facebook profile, loaded with Army photos. But that post is not public, as can be seen by the icon of friends of friends chosen and not the public (which is a globe) one. So there may be some provenance to this.

Name calling is what people low in intelligence use when wanting to first make a dehumanizing pitch and because that's all they have for a position.
So she's literally being a cvnt.
Remember, she tried burning an innocent man's name and his integrity when they were lied to and knew they were being lied to by Brett Kavanaugth's accuser of made up BS. And was okay with lying so long as to achieve the party's goals.

We're going to see tax shaming on a whole new level then, my friend.
FWIW I agree with you but the greedy always try to ruin nice things meant for those that are deserving of it.
