According to the NYT, his own tax advisors described it as “murky” at best and that he would probably pay a hefty penalty if caught trying it.

He could mouth fuck an infant on stage and his supporters would defend him.

Not legal. He just refused to report the cancelling of debt and hoped he wouldn’t be audited. That’s like you stealing a car and hoping the police don’t catch you.

“They’ve been doing that for centuries, you just decided it wasn’t ok in the last 20 years because of PC, while hillary is doing benghazi with all the emails! #draintheswap #lockher up” this will be an actual tweet when that happens.

This has been my stance all along. This loophole is legal sure, but it’s shitty. Being on welfare and “working the system” is also legal, even when abused it’s far less shitty because the government isn’t losing out on tens of millions of dollars.

We should be as understanding about it being (sometimes) legal, as they are about how some people qualify and need welfare and are not all fraudsters.

THIS, THIS, THIS. OMG, THIS.

I was happy for Taraji when she got the Empire deal, but part of me (and forgive the inherent respectability politics angle here) was like, why did she have to go from playing such a classy character to such a hood stereotype?!

Somewhere, Charlie Jane Anders just nodded and smiled.

Yup. I knew what comic you posted before I even looked at.

I started watching regularly in the second season, and I’m still kinda disappointed I couldn’t convince more people to watch. Pretty much my favorite show on TV from season three onwards. At least they went out with a bang and with something of a real conclusion for the last season, instead of playing it safe and…

It was on for half that: Five. And it got canceled.

This was a great show and it is a miracle it lasted as long as it did on CBS. I think the reason it survived is it started as a fairly generic, but well done, procedural with a gimmick (bread and butter for CBS) and only got deeply into the near future sci fi elements once it had built an audience.

I like this arrangement of words that you have written, and the thoughts communicated thereby.

So you mean this, but for batteries? I approve.

Google turns this up on the kid

Why are you using a picture of the victim, and not the criminal? Seems...exploitative. Once again.

i bet he wishes he had chosen a prolonged standoff with federal authorities over a land dispute now, doesnt he? 18 months indeed.

I must say I’m starting to have some doubts about this Trump gentleman. I initially quite liked his idea to make America great again; I was lucky enough to visit the country recently and I rated it only “very good” rather than “great” (I knocked a mark off because the hotel kept forgetting to change our towels and…

It’s really weird, because I actually have compared older interview and speaking clips of Trump with contemporary ones, and the opposite of what she says is true. There is a marked difference. Not when comparing Hillary, however. Even Trump’s supporters have started doing that weird projecting thing that he does.
