Vulcan approves...

Disappointing to have this from an early Clinton appointee, registered Independent.

Same, though I can’t find the transcript or audio at the moment. It was the head of the Nevada NRA being interviewed that said we should discuss the data, not argue from emotion.

Cool, cool. How about when ICE detains actual citizens born in the US for years, because they won’t actually check their ID?

There are likely potential loopholes to watch out for, in which the increased pay is entirely to yourself and your inner circle. Otherwise, seems at least a decent thread to pull on.

Is this a nerd fight? Can linguists join in? Would it be literally terminal?

Combining two latter posts to tl;dr - no, but he can be removed by Congress:

It shouldn’t be a hard fight. But it’s still one that one needs to show up to to win.

No, no it isn’t. In fact, the scam is the legislation that prevents the IRS from providing equivalent service to H&R Block and Intuit.

Agreed, now is not the time to be fatalistic...

Bob Corker implies that it’ll take another year or so to come to fruition...

He’s the Republican candidate, he’s not voted into the office yet... don’t get ahead of the actual election.

Aren’t there a couple of challenges to that excuse still pending? Given some actual weight, since the administration still seems to claim that messages from that account are to be considered policy statements, when convenient.

It was infuriating to hear locals in RDU (NC) going to the relatively newly opened mall repeating that crap on the local news.. Or even coming up with it on their own... “terrists ain’t goin’ stop me doing by day, no sir!”

It’s fascinating that that’s what gets heard, instead of “some of the money I’m paying out now goes back to me, AND I get the same magic insurance that those people get? WHEN CAN I SIGN UP?!”

He’s too busy trying to get that last one out with tweezers.

Or for the younguns out there...

So... tax-dodging Libertarians, Republicans and wealthy trickle-down investments, like Kansas under Brownback? Or structural / legal quirks that give significantly more leverage to debt-holders than in the States? Or actual civic projects?

Yep, part of the whole “I’m rich, so I’m smart... I’m smart, so I’m deserving...” mindset that some fall into.

In another episode shortly thereafter, one Rick tries to free the happiest version of themself, and/or uses that version of himself to trip a trap set by another version of themself, killing that version of himself. They are terrible to themself and others. It’s not a single message, it’s repeated in other episodes.
