Let's simplify the tax code by not writing a new one.

Just grab the tax code from 1944, slap 2017 on it and call it a day.

But we can't do that - people other than white former GIs would benefit from the financial windfall! When you have *that* much money trickling into the government, some of it is just *bound* to get allocated to poor and/or disadvantaged people who deserve and/or need it, and we just can't have that because it's ~soshalism~ or something. Again, it's like you never drank your way through Harvard Business School. :rolleyes:

Also...job creators. You sheep are still falling for that line, right? No? Enh...gently caress you - we paid good money - mostly yours - for that term.

A new development in the Trump administration's attemps to become the ultimate Captain Planet villain - they now want to murder wild mustangs so that they can give more money to oil companies.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-bill-could-trigger-mass-slaughter-of-wild-mustang/

quote:

The roundup can be hard to watch, as the terrified wild horses are driven out of the mountains by sounds emitted from a helicopter, forced up hillsides and down gullies and ultimately drawn into the corral by a so-called "Judas horse" that leads the way.

"I'll be quite frank with you, some might put their head down and try to go through the panels. I hope that doesn't happen," Ward said.

Injuries aren't uncommon. These roundups, though, might get tougher to stomach in the coming years.

President Trump's proposed budget would allow "humane euthanasia" of excess horses and burros. It would allow unrestricted sale of certain animals that could end up sold to foreign slaughterhouses.

It all comes down to money. The new budget for the Department of Interior allocates $24 million more on gas, oil and coal management and $10 million less to manage the wild horse and burro program.

"Wild" mustangs. These are 200-400 year old feral populations of a large ungulate species that hasn't been native to the region (and thus the environment took a different way where they weren't needed or wanted) since 10 KYA.

Comments on the post seem to suggest it's a roofing tile. People are suggesting something called a 'ceramic plate' because it evidently holds food well and insulates heat better.

Only low-class trash would serve a round taco salad on 2 square dishes.

Also, I love that the scandal of "taco bowl outreach" from the DNC hacks was a guy making fun of THIS loving TWEET and the right-wing called the democrats racist because of it.

Any previous administration and the articles would have talked about this in retrospect, as in, "A country mourns as aid continues to flow into Puerto Rico. While the President immediately had waived the Jones Act -- a little-known law also called the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 that requires ships used for transport between American ports to be built, owned, and operated by the United States -- the potential for it to have delayed rescue efforts has led some to ask why it remains on the books." But no, with 45 it only gets waived immediately for Houston and Florida.

And yet..

quote:

The Trump administration is reportedly forcing evacuees from Puerto Rico to sign promissory notes ensuring full repayment for transportation costs and is keeping evacuees' passports as collateral.

Market Watch reported on Thursday that the State Department is using a longstanding but discretionary policy to ensure that evacuees pay transportation costs, which are based on of “the price of the last commercial one-way, full-fare (not discounted) economy ticket prior to the crisis.”

Passports won't be returned to evacuees until payment is received, according to the news outlet, which cited the State Department's website.
“Upon evacuation, a Department of State official must limit an evacuee’s passport. In order to obtain a new passport, an evacuee must arrange payment as agreed upon via the promissory note," the website reads.

I got a question...
How'd he make it this far? How the gently caress did it begin?
A Trump rally sounds like Hitler in Berlin
Or KKK poo poo, now I'm goin' in
I'm just sayin' what's real, I don't give a gently caress who I offend
Cause it's gotta be said, it's gotta be said
It's off the top like the toupee on Donald Trump's head
This man's not peaceful, racism's evil
This man hates Muslims, that's a billion fuckin' people
If truth be told, Donald is a terrorist
Reasons why the world's got a problem with Americans
The gently caress is goin' on? People just passed
A mass murder happened, you said thanks for the congrats
You tryna get your votes up, you don't got class
Orlando was a tragedy, you react fast
And then made it 'bout you, to boost your campaign
It's goin' all bad if he wins this drat thing
Man America is hosed if he's next up
