    @Horace said in I don't think Biden has to worry about RFK Jr.: Never heard of a rhetorical fart before. Interesting - could revolutionize our political debates. You didn't grow up in my family.

    @Axtremus said in "Private" tax information given to Faceypage: The IRS has for a long time wanted to build their own free tax return filing website to accommodate those with simple taxes, but some congress critters have always stood in the way. So I blame these Congress critters too. I read somewhere how much money the tax prepare companies spend on donations and lobbying to stop this from happening. But, there is hope (maybe) QUOTE New free direct-file options, straight from the IRS, may also be on the horizon. In May 2023, the IRS delivered a report to the Treasury Department confirming its intent to begin testing a free, agency-run filing system, with a pilot version available to select taxpayers as soon as the 2024 tax-filing season.

    After reading (well, skimming) that article... makes me hate that aspect of the internet even more. It went "viral" in 2021, but I hadn't hear of that phrase. Still not really sure what it means. Fuck, people just need to get off their phones and social media.

    “forced birth is an act of sexual violence and the choice to have and care for children is a sacred decision which should not be forced upon anyone.” There is a way to prevent that. I guess the right to copulate freely should be voted on as well.

BTW, BIL says the Feds are giving them a screwing on the Atlantic side. Two days, one per day. The Gulf is allowed 73 days, one per day. And he said the Reds are as thick as fleas this year ..

    Chicago is such a pretty city. From the reading, this does not seem a step in the correct direction.

    "MyPillow is auctioning off hundreds of pieces of equipment and subleasing manufacturing space after several shopping networks and major retailers took the company's products off shelves. The Chaska-based manufacturer recently listed more than 850 "surplus equipment" items on the online auction site K-Bid. Sewing machines, industrial fabric spreaders, forklifts and even desks and chairs are up for auction. Founder and CEO Mike Lindell said MyPillow has experienced a loss in revenue and the items are no longer needed as the company consolidates its operations." https://www.startribune.com/mypillow-is-auctioning-off-equipment-after-losing-many-retailers-mike-lindell-minn-2020-election/600288705/

    @Copper said in Did those guys really quit?: Mr. Trump's behavior has invalidated pretty much all rules and all laws. Since he might have done something wrong, all rules are off for everyone else, forever. Normal human social dynamics. Jonathan Haidt wrote a book on the subject, called "The Righteous Mind". The most dangerous thing in nature are righteous humans in groups.
