Her signature is on that piece of nitwittery. She must be held accountable by normal, sane, real, people. So, for example, when she is addressing a group of farmers in Wisconsin, what is she going to say when a wheat farmer asks her where she is going to come up a wind-powered combine for him to harvest his crop to feed people?

I'm wondering if this Looney Tunes parade is intended to help Biden, making him look the only grown up, and making people forget all his many gaffes and creepy photos.

My take home pay was a little more during the year but I got less back after doing my taxes this week. It's about even. I did notice however that the meager tax cuts for the middle class are temporary while the ridiculous corporate cuts are permanent. It also occurred to me that Trump is probably going to take his profits from said tax cuts and buy up depressed assets at fire sale prices when the recession that he made a lot worse but will blame on the Democrats hits.

And Sardis, I think you can still be the Democrat nominee as a white or a male. But to nullify those offenses, you’ll need to be gay, and with a sex tape to prove it.

I've got one

a boyfriend?

Well....maybe doing blackface ain’t THAT bad...

Interesting triangular situation. The Dems need the governor to stay because the lt. governor may have done something far worse. However, dumping the black politician and leaving the white politicians in place will look bad as well. All three go and an R is head of the state.

so basically, because it might get republicans a foothold in Virginia, then they should forget about the blackface thing because the guy is a democrat.

However, if he was a republican, they would do everything in their power to remove him.

That's the definition of Washington integrity.

Republicans are no better. The difference is Democrats claim to be.

This whole blackface thing is as retarded as goldie.

I knew it was probably going to happen but taxes kicked my ass this year.

Up until now, tax planning was pretty simple - claim my deductions, make sure I give away stuff to goodwill throughout the year and everything falls into place, count on the cost of the kids to break even.

now I can't itemize enough to go past the standard deduction so I'm writing a sizeable check and if I do it again next year I have to pay a penalty.

looks like I'm going to have to sit down and do some planning for 2019

I"m not the only one - however it would appear many people have forgot they were getting a little extra in the paycheck when it comes time to file taxes....

-------------------------------------------------------------

The new tax law does result in some people paying higher taxes (especially over the long term), but the specific issue here is tax refunds rather than total taxes paid. Whether you get a refund or owe extra to the IRS at filing time is a function not just of your total taxes owed, but also of how much tax is withheld from your paycheck by your employer on paydays. And the big story here is that as a result of the new tax law, the Treasury Department tweaked things so that on average taxpayers’ withholdings fell by more than their actual taxes owed.

Trump. Winning

I knew it was a bad idea to adjust people’s withholding at the beginning of 2018. Most don’t have the ability to mentally connect refunds with withholdings. All they understand is what they owe or what refund they get.

I think I may end up letting my son claim himself, pay him what he'd normally get on a refund with me claiming him and keep the difference.

With the tuition we've paid, he'd probably get $2K back versus his usual $400. That would help a little.

Gotta love the Trump tax breaks.

"I must say, the current crop of Democrats are saying all the loony stuff they’ve been dreaming of since those acid trips at Yasgur’s farm back in the 60’s, but were too afraid to say it in public; abolish ICE, abolish borders, Medicare for all at the cost of 32.6 trillion over the next 10 years, legalizing third and fourth trimester abortions, criminalizing the Knights of Columbus, you know... the usual kind of things that liberals dream up during acid trips."

Legalizing abortions in the 4th trimester? That would be some trick...

LOL...the 4th trimester lasts until they are 18 years old

And beyond, these days...

Like you ever fathered a legitimate child. Step aside Gomer.

Ummm, what the fuck? Deciding that you don't like the actions of the President and taking executive branch actions to get a group together to fabricate the President's unfitness under the 25th Amendment is deciding whether you are all in or not on a fucking coup attempt. The way you remove him for political and criminal behaviour if thats what you think he did, is you bring the evidence to the legislative branch as evidence for them to impeach his ass. Jesus Christ, the fact that someone can even admit thats what they were trying to organize is sickening.

yea, I read that earlier.

McCabe is just lost

People also forget - Rosenstein recommended to Trump he fire Comey. That gets lost in all of this

I wasn't skeptical at first, then the more you read and think about the circumstances, the harder it is to side with this guy

I mean what are the odds at 2am in the dead of winter in Chicago, two "maga" - implying 2 white racists guys - because after all, if you want to Make America Great Again, you have to be racist, recognized this guy, and more importantly, knew he was gay and had been lying in wait to put a rope around his neck and pour bleach on him - because, you know, thats what people do at 2am in the dead of winter of Chicago
