Trump noticed that Mooch was looking older than usual and he ditched him so that he can get a younger, newer model.

It's not just that it worked. How the hell do you even think of this as part of a plan. The only thing I got is the peanut butter was smeared there as vandalism and then they just took advantage of it. I can't imagine somebody said "So the first thing we do is get peanut butter..."

poo poo I just remembered there's a part in The Thick of It where a new cabinet member makes some goof and is worried she's going to get fired. Malcom Tucker reassures her that it won't happen because if the PM fires a cabinet member 2 weeks after he appointed her, it will look like his gently caress up, not hers.

If sports has ever taught me anything, no one ever is asked to give a vote of confidence to someone who is doing well, its only when things are going badly

DACK FAYDEN posted:Huh, I wish this had more details. All it's got is The purpose is to allow people entering federal service liquidate any holding which might be a conflict of interest (like stock in a company regulated by the department they are joining) and transfer that money into something like a diversified mutual fund. Normally that would trigger capital gains taxes, but the special exemption lets you do it tax free. I think when you sell in the future you still pay capital gains on the later asset as though you had always had the money there so it is less a dodge and more just some shifting money around without penalty. Mooch sold his hedge fund. Any capital gains from that (and there are likely a ton) will now be taxed. He is still going to have more money than anyone would ever need.

Prisoners have an unfathomable amount of time to just think of ways to escape, smuggle contraband, and make weapons using their limited resources, and they come up with some wild poo poo. Why not give it a shot, they have nothing but time, and John Dillinger broke out of jail using a bar of soap.

Cabbit posted:I'm actually more pissed now because apparently the system is set up in such a way that this idiot would have made in excess of ten million dollars off this loving job via tax avoidance. eh, not really, prepare for a boring digression into tax law capital gains works by calculating the difference between what you paid for something (the "basis") and what you got when you sell it. it's taxed when you sell it, not before: you're only taxed on actual profits and not paper profits. so lets say his property all had a "basis" of $50 million, he sold it for $100 million, he would, this year, pay taxes on the $50 million profit however his sale wasn't entirely voluntary here: he sold it to comply with ethics laws to work in government. what the IRS regulations let you do in those cases is use the money you received to invest in something else - say, an index fund - and keep the original basis. so that doesn't eliminate the taxes - it defers them. so, if he got the job, he would have sold his company, recieved $100 million, dumped that $100 million in an index fund, and that index fund would have a "basis" of $50 million. i.e., when he sells the index fund, he pays the original taxes then. if he doesn't get the job, he will invest the money in the index fund, get a tax bill on his $50 million profit, and then the "basis" of the index fund will be $100 million and he will only be taxed on any gains from that point so basically, what this would let him do is defer paying the taxes, not avoid them entirely. this is actually fairly reasonable if you assume that people taking government jobs are forced to liquidate investments frequently and you don't want to make merely taking the admin job a taxable event.
