So, Trump gets a pass on what happened to the Kurds?
So, Trump gets a pass on what happened to the Kurds?
Can’t say for sure, but Hillary is an old-school politician who tries to create consensus. Trump is a fire breather who thrives on controversy.
Totally related to the issue.
The issue is that the IRS is underfunded because big GOP contributors don’t want to have to go toe to toe with an agency that can make them pay taxes.
That’s why Trump got a surge of money after his New York City trial lose; rich folks hate the idea that the law might be used against them.
Nancy Reagan was personally soft on abortion, but she knew it played to the base, so she was gung ho to overturn Roe V. Wade. That was until she found out stem cells might be able to help Ronnie’s dementia, then she was all for using corpses to make medicine.
tl, dr = Every dollar spent investigating the richest means another $12 in taxes. This is with no new tax laws, just enforcing the one’s on the books.
Have you checked the maker’s site?

“Greyshirt” was a short lived comic hero. Based on 'The Spirit" the hero wore mundane clothes with a face mask and fought crime with his fists and wits. Grey shirt refers to the chainmail armor he wore underneath his dapper suit.
low effort post
Exactly what effort did you put into your [I use the term loosely] joke?
I mean, if you want to talk about effort, you could take the time to repudiate all the Trump pardons and show how they benefitted the country.
Talk to anyone who was old enough to vote for Clinton.
It wasn’t a big dramatic floor fight in Congress. People started talking about doing away with the ATF, and the idea seemed to be gaining momentum, and then it just…vanished.
I see no advantage to students using AI and many problems.
Unless and until I see an advantage to a new tech, I hold my reserve. Obviously, a typewriter will give you better copy than a quill pen, and a word processor beats both.
But all three of those require the writer to come up with their own ideas.
This is one of my favorite stories.
The ATF completely screwed up the raid on the Branch Davidian Church in Waco back in 1993. It was indenfesnable and a lot of people started saying that the Agency should be abolished and its responsibilities moved to the FBI.
“Small government” GOPs blocked any mention of the idea, because they were worried about having the FBI looking into gun crimes.
And at the time it was true.
If all the knowledge you have in your society can be memorized and recited, writing it down means it can be changed.
On the other hand, if you have a society where you know of that there are over 500,000 types of beetles, it might be a better idea to come up with a way to record that information without memorization.
Just because an idea is new/old doesn’t mean it’s good/bad.
Things have to be judged on their own merits.

Obama wanted to do this, but the NRA blocked his choice for Surgeon General.
Such men are dangerous!
I know that I learn better when I write things down on paper.

It’s too bad you didn’t get to post that on Juneteenth.
Agreed.
I see people posting questions about life in the 1970s and wonder, “Don’t you know any one who was around then?”
