Much like the regular dipshits who cry “this isn’t what I voted for” when they get what they voted for through a spouse or employee getting arrested and detained by ICE, Republican Nevada Congressman Mark Amodei now says he didn’t vote to decrease a tax deduction on gambling losses in the Big Beautiful Bill. Except he kind of did vote for it because, unlike the fucking idiots who thought Trump wouldn’t deport “family-oriented” undocumented immigrants because they chose not to listen to him and his campaign (or were misled through propaganda) the wonky 90 percent cap on the deductibility on losses was in the bill, in plain black and white.
Stupid story short, before this bill, losses after wins were 100 percent deductible and any gambler broke even by winning $50,000 and then losing it would owe taxes for $0 of the winnings. That is until the Big Beautiful Bill dropped the deductibility to 90 percent, meaning that $5,000 of that is taxable… Which is stupid and this fucking idiot voted for it whether he admits it or not.
