“Freelance salesman” as in “This guy owes fines and restitution that will get taken if we pay him legitimately, so we give him cash under the table”

Dude.  You’re blowing my mind with this reality-warping option.  

“Freelance salesman” as in “We don’t want to pay employment taxes, so we’re going to 1099 this guy even though he meets the definition of an employee?”

If they are unwilling to do that they could potentially give him a car worth $10,000 and it would also be satisfactory. Perhaps a certain 2016 Mazda CX-5.

And while the dealer is trying to make it right for Fredricks, he’s still out of $10,000 and a car.

How about not encouraging the crowd to go absolutely shit-crazy? That might help.

And this is where Republicans really want to go; criminializing any pregnancy that is even remotely whishfully-thinking not perfect. And the criteria is whatever is in someone’s mind.

25k?  That man needs a new lawyer. 

I don’t think it’s particularly unclear that he cheated; a source from his ex-wife’s team confirmed that she caught him cheating before he ever went to rehab. (And there have been reports and blind items of him having relapsed and trying to hook up with girls on Instagram for close to two years now, which obviously…

People are hung up on the timeline because it’s clear that Mulaney was cheating and yet refuses to just admit to it.

I think odds were this was always going to be a premature birth. 

I understand why people are tired of this story, but I have to admit I can’t help being curious.

A GOP candidate who has lied about his education/experience? And...what’s that?....he has a history of domestic abuse which he isn’t being accountable for? This is all shocking. I’m shocked I tell you. Thoroughly shocked. In other news: humans breathe air to survive. Also, surprisingly, if a person stands outside in…

I’m watching more of this (god knows why) it’s AMAZING no one has died. So many people just standing in the fucking danger zone of the straps and cables, using come-alongs on wooden dock posts to pull the boat sideways, just insanity. 

Holy shit why is NO ONE KEEPING PEOPLE AWAY FROM THE CABLES UNDER TENSION. For fuck’s sake a strap snapped already and everyone’s just standing feet from the cables. Jesus. 

If I were going to compare this to anyone it would like if Bezos suddenly started talking about how important he thought unions were.

I don’t believe one word out of his mouth. Policies already exist, but don’t mean shit if you encourage your fanbase to act like shitheads and then ignore them when people start dying.

If anything, the sedative just made her freer with her racism than normal.  It was there all along regardless. 

At the risk of repeating myself [1], I think it’s important to note the fact that in trying to excuse her naked racism, this judge engaged in more, accusing a Black man of armed burglary, despite there being no evidence the arrestee had a weapon.

Nobody’s buying that sedative bullshit. Now let’s get her ass off the bench and pick through her cases with a fine tooth comb because you know there’s racist bullshit in those decisions of hers.
