The building has to be built to withstand a certain amount of water falling on it, because, you know, rain. I don’t see why it’s unrealistic to think an artificial deluge (simulating a very heavy rain) from a helicopter wouldn’t actually be safer than hitting the building with a stream of water from the side. The…

• The share of reported income earned by the top 1 percent of taxpayers fell slightly to 19.7 percent in 2016. Their share of federal individual income taxes fell slightly, to 37.3 percent.

The idea that giving everybody free health insurance that every doctor accepted wouldn’t increase access to care, despite the fact that 64 percent of Americans delay care because of financial concerns, is ludicrous.

Huh?

It really needs to pick it’s jaw up off the floor.

Dems can certainly try, though I’m not holding my breath. Since the problem facing their parents is exactly the same as the one facing them. Don’t want to pay for health care until you actually need it, and then it should automatically cover everything pre-existing without a huge markup. In spite of the fact that…

Maybe, as far as I’m aware “Money Laundering” charges require the money was obtained illegally, and thus NEEDS to be laundered. Not that money laundering is a part of tax evasion. Tax evasion itself is it’s own separate crime?

Hmm. I’ve always heard the problem with “medicare for all” is the same problem with the individual mandate. Young healthy (stupid/greedy?) people don’t want to have to pay for health care they don’t feel they need... (But, of course, also want healthcare to cover pre-existing conditions when they inevitably DO get…

In vaguely related news...

Or maybe they’ll do the funniest thing, which would be to simply recast her without a single word of explanation. (Lacey Chabert???)

Are they trying to prove that’s not a crime?

Only idiots...or the truly trapped...go to trial.

That’s what they are in trouble for

Interesting, I was under the impression all prosecutors are likely to offer deals if they aren’t fairly certain they’ll win a case. (a.k.a. bluff) Better a conviction on a deal than the guy walking if you lose. I didn’t realize they were in the habit of padding their records by simply letting you walk if they weren’t…

You sure ALL of them did? From what I remember reading, only some of the kids used the pyche cheat to get extra time. There isn’t any indication from the evidence I’ve seen that the Giannulli sisters did. And in at least some cases, it’s quite clear the folks running the scheme straight up bribed the proctor to…

Loughlin and Giannulli, as you’ve certainly committed to memory at this point, are charged with paying over $500,000 in bribes to ensure their daughters Olivia Jade and Bella Giannulli were admitted to the University of Southern California, despite being terrible students who didn’t want to go to school in the first…

I have a game launcher launcher

They don’t really have to go full on retcon. Only pull one of those “certain point of view” things. What did he say she was exactly, daughter of junk traders who ditched her on that planet?

I was going to say, isn’t this like literally giving democrats almost exactly what they want...

So, TLDR:
