The Trump administration is really reaching to the extreme to make this argument. The founders of this nation revolted in part because of tariff taxes and those taxes prompted the famous rallying cry "No taxation without representation." The founders had no doubt that tariffs are taxes and no...
That's where I think not being a moderator comes into play. When click the photo, it takes me to a page that simply says: "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action."
I'll address what I'm guessing is the underlying question you have: why are they named the lawsuit when it (very likely) won't have any practical effect on them. The answer is to create a clear title. If the deed isn't accurate it may cloud the title, making the property difficult to sell. The...
They both are larger and better though blurry. I'm guessing that's because the pixel count on the small version of the image isn't very high. It was enough, though, for me to read it. A significant improvement.
Too small for me to be able to read it. I think it's odd that this site imposes that restriction on image size on posts that members see but not on the moderators. That does a disservice to both groups. The moderators are denied communicating with everyone with images (and may be misled as to...
Yes, and it by now a well worn tactic that has been practiced by both parties at different points in the past. Enacting the budget is the most basic and most essential things Congress and the President do. I'd like to see some kind of penalty imposed on those that are pushing for the government...
Yesterday Trump finally acknowledged that he's not eligible to run for the presidency in 2028 and that text of the amendment make that pretty clear. I suspect that part of the reason for his change in position is that he no longer wants a third term but wanted a reason not to run that was out of...
At least that's one bad cop off the street. If he wanted to be a cop so badly he should have acted like one instead of like knucklehead with no common sense.
Nancy Pelosi is one of the most shrewd politicians in Washington. She rivals or exceeds some other famous Speakers like Tip O'Neil. She is no stranger to playing hardball when its required. Given her public persona she would fit well with Teddy Roosevelt's famous statement "Speak softly and...
That statement is true for most IRS tax lawyers. I know that from personal experience. I and my colleagues really did like what we did even though we were underpaid compared to what we could make in private practice. I myself would have stayed longer than I did, possibly to retirement, but for...
That phrase was coined for the situation in which a customer opts for the cheaper product, thinking it'll be as good, or at least close enough, that the savings will get them a good deal. It sometimes does, but often the customer ends up disappointed in the performance and/or durability of the...
That's a lot of money to most people and makes a great headline. But its effect on the shutdown will be negligible.
In fiscal year 2024 the military spent $192 billion on military pay and benefits. That's approximately $526 million a day. Thus, that $130 million donation would pay for just...
King Alfred the Great didn't have the problems of juggling the demands of the PTA, the NEA and other teacher unions, and elected school boards. And let's not leave out the entitled Karen parents out there and the problem of broken homes. If he had to deal with that mess he might have ended up as...
That was pretty funny. Nicely acted too. But everytime I saw the car shaking the '70s phrase "if this van's a rockin' don't come a knockin' " jumped into my head. :D
