Being in the right place at the right time with the right turn of phrase:

Trying to see how far people won’t go to not defend Trump?

I read an insinuation, on this very board that was not unsinister in any way, that a member didn’t not find out the answer to that question but it maybe didn’t have anything not to do with him not being not banned

 

[T.Lex]

I don't not read all the time insinuations on this very board that are not unintended insults towards entire groups of people on this very board without any non-actions taken against them.

You don't not do teal much more betterer than you don't not do purple.

I think you shouldn't not go get that checked out by neither a chiropractor nor a regular doctor.

The good news: With the recent tax cuts, the federal government has collected a record $1.3 trillion in tax receipts in the first 9 months of the fiscal year.
The bad news: During the same period, the federal government has run a $607 million deficit.

Conclusion: We don't have a revenue problem. We have a spending problem.

From the architect of the New Deal:

We have nothing to not fear, but not fearing fear itself.

You should learn to not split infinitives.

When it doesn't come to non-grammatical mistakes, non-splitting of infinitives isn't not the biggest problem with these recent posts.

Yes, we definitely have a spending problem.

That article says - "We’ll have to wait a little longer to see whether Trump’s tax cuts improve the economy enough so that future payments make up for the revenue Washington is losing because tax rates were reduced."

Now how can they say Washington is losing revenue because the tax rates were reduced when the revenue was a record high amount?

It's simple:

Cutting taxes --> improved economy --> record tax collections (aka revenue).

Therefore:

Higher taxes --> more improved economy --> even higher record revenues, err... Let me consult with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on that...

You don't have to not be a Keynesian or anti-Keynesian or un-anti-anti-Keynesian to not understand how not to improve a non-free market economy by not raising or lowering taxes.

Yeah, yeah, that is obvious. So where is this "losing revenue" stuff?

Sorry if you missed the joke. That last line fails the logic test, but matches the new Democrat economic play book, hence the reference.

You're right - whooosh.

I don’t not agree with you.

After 18 months of media #Resistance, it is easy to tune out their [STRIKE]news[/STRIKE]opinions.

Isn't it obvious? If they hadn't cut taxes, the economy would have been the same and they would have received a higher percentage in taxes. Thus they would have received even MORE of a record.
