It's not surprising to me that a member of Trump's campaign staff would echo Trump's claims like the following: "My Admin has done more for the Black Community than any President since Abraham Lincoln." June 2, 2020 Tweet. "My administration is delivering for African Americans like never...

I don't know where you are getting your information that poverty is somehow much worse under Biden than it was under Trump. Census Bureau statistics don't bear that out. In 2020, the last year of Trump's presidency the official poverty rate was 11.5%. Last year, the poverty rate was 11.1%. (The...

Whatever his argument was with the judge about it couldn't have been anything close to making it worth spending the rest of his life (or at least most of it) in a state maximum security prison.

Few people enjoy paying taxes. But most follow the law and pay their taxes. Then there are those, like the ITPs, who will try just about anything to dodge their tax obligations. They weren't all that hard to find, for the most part, as they also tended to be vocal about it. When I first showed...

The FDCPA does not apply to actions a creditor or collector takes in pursuing a court judgment on the debt. In addition to that, the FDCPA only applies to "debt collectors" as defined in the Act, and the Act excludes the original creditor from the term "debt collector". If the claimed debt...

These folks come up with some really odd ideas. I dealt with a lot of such people during the couple years that I was a tax protest coordinator at IRS. (Congress later banned the IRS from identifying anyone as an "illegal tax protestor (ITP)" though what good they thought it would do is beyond...

Cops are not immune to being part of the gun violence problem this country has. That any state in this nation today would allow a cop to enter a courthouse armed is shows poor judgment on the part of legislators. This isn't the first time a cop has killed a judge in the courthouse, even in the...

I have doubts about any landslide victory for either candidate. If Harris wins in a landslide, it may very well be abortion that helps propel that result. For decades very conservative Republicans could run on a platform that included a no compromise approach to abortion — staking out the...

I don't see how this relates to the topic of this thread at all. It has nothing to do with the security Trump gets. This really should have gone in a separate thread. I also have no idea what tax plan with regard to § 401(k) plans you are talking about. The Tax Foundation put out just a week...

That sounds good in theory and I understand the sentiment behind it. Trump deserves great protection. In practice, however, providing protect that equals that given the current president is unrealistic. Doing that would at the very least require a massive increase in funding, starting with...

I don't doubt that Don Jr. is very upset about the wackos who have takne or tried to take (literal) shots at his father. Rightfully so. From what I've read of the latest would be shooter he appears to have mental problems and would benefit from a long stretch of time in a mental hospital...

Tucker Carlson doesn't know what he's talking about half the time. He says the things that he knows will fire up his viewer/listeners and doesn't seem to care much about accuracy. That is one of the reasons he was finally edged out of Fox. It wasn't a money decision; Tucker was bringing in more...

The thing you need to understand is that I firmly believe that Trump is precisely what is NOT right for the country. One can believe that Trump is a disaster and still be a Republican. I'm not fond of Harris either, but as between the two of them, Harris is for me the lesser of two evils. If you...

Let me tell you a truth you may not want to hear: those theories found on some anti-government web sites that claim you have to have a contract with government before it may enforce the law against you are all garbage. The statutes and case law are very clear: you are subject to federal and...

They wouldn't be prosecuted. The Supreme Court has held that burning the American flag is political speech protected by the First Amendment. Trump signing the Flag would similarly be protected. Very few Americans actually know the U.S. Flag Code let alone rigorously follow it. I'm willing to bet...

I certainly hope he will accept the outcome if he loses (if he wins, he'll of course say it was the greatest win in history). It would be refreshing to see Trump end an unsuccessful campaign with dignity and a respect for the choice of the voters.

Ok, so you were convicted of the crime of failing to display insurance after a trial, right? The judge then sentenced you to a jail term as a result. That's not false imprisonment. You had due process; the trial gave you the opportunity to challenge the state's case and evidently the court...

Look, I know you support Trump but you can still support him and admit that he just didn't do well in the debate. It wasn't the debate format that made him look bad. It's how he handled himself in the debate that made him look bad. My guess is that he didn't really prepare all that much for it...

Your Alf picture is way too small to read what it says.

It's worth remembering that Donald Trump wanted the debate and got many of the conditions he set for participating in this debate. He knew who was going to ask the questions, he knew the format for the debate as his campaign participated in designing it, he knew the technology set up too, as he...
