Partially. But he’s also following the rules of the tax code to their logical conclusion. He’s not “getting away with it,” per se, but he’s writing off the shit that he’s allowed to.

“Joe Biden is our only hope!”

Sorrow, along with regret and shame, are complex emotions that require the individual to be able to put themselves in someone else’s shoes, understand their perspective, and empathize. Human kids can’t do this for several years, which is why you have to teach your children to apologize for things they do wrong.

I like the idealism, but sadly, there are plenty of other lines of defense than Biden.

Ha! The battle for the soul of the GOP.

Yup. It’s a problem. It is a persistent problem.

I wish Obama had done this sort of thing. If he did we wouldn’t have Trump.

but the fact that Trumplestiltskin and his cavalcade of dipshits believe this behavior is somehow equivalent to or even comparable to the shit Trump has actually done is all the evidence we should ever need to know that we’re fully through the fucking looking glass, that nothing matters anymore, and facts are utterly…

Fascinating thoughts.

McConnell might end up #1 after 50 years of his project working its way through the courts.

And yet... from Conservapedia:

I don’t want to say that I predicted stuff like this.

Certainly, that would make for a better statement.

Mean!

Damn, Max. This is a good post. This is a freaking good post. I mean, you don’t need the praise, but I know you take a ton of heat around here; just know that I see a whole heck of a lot of very sensible, resonant observations. So kudos!

This actually makes a ton of sense, drones.
