Pakled posted:Nah, we knew about the private server a couple days ago. The news the email prankster broke was that Kushner never disclosed it to the Senate inquiry on Russian interference. If I'm not mistaken, the news from a few days ago was that Kushner was using a private email address, a @yahoo.com email address to be specific. Not a private server, which is a whole different story. And exactly the thing people were bitching about with Hillary.

Using Yahoo for government business is catastrophically worse and a whole different category of mistake from using your own server that you have control over, but the server thing sounds way more nefarious, this was done on purpose by Republicans and the media played along.

And this is an actual crime as of recently, and yet the right will likely automatically view any prosecution of Kushner as illegitimate, so it will be a difficult prosecution even with a plethora of evidence. This would be Session's call to prosecute, right?

San Marcos TX bar posted this, said they will turn off any sports game that has even a single player taking a knee, even if it's the super bowl. OTOH, it's Texas, so 590 of those reactions are positive. OTOH, it's a college town, so 99% of the comments are negative. Worthwhile gambit? If the minority who "like" are more likely customers anyway, and they come to show agreement, it seems like it might be

Good luck being a bar and turning off NFL games. Even diehard racists still love that poo poo, will grumble loudly about "those uppity players", then still find a bar showing the game and watch it anyways. The right is terrible at political boycotts.

So in this tax plan they want to double the standard deduction but eliminate the mortgage interest / personal property line item deductions? I would need to look at my mortgage statement, but I am fairly certain this would result in a net tax increase for me based on my adjusted income.

I would need to look at my mortgage statement, but I am fairly certain this would result in a net tax increase for me based on my adjusted income. No. The tax plan has 2 major changes from the leaks: - It doesn't change the mortgage interest deduction at all. - It leaves open the "option" for a 4th tax bracket for income above $391,000 a year. It also changes the tax brackets from: 10/15/25/28/33/35/39 to 12/25/35/(maybe an undecided 4th, but probably not) So, in addition to the standard deduction changes, it would depend what your income was and what the range for the brackets end up being. It's hard to do a 1 to 1 comparison with the exact numbers. Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Sep 29, 2017 |

They aren't proposing getting rid of the mortgage interest deduction, but the increase to the standard deduction might nullify the benefit of the MI deduction, as you have to do itemized deductions vs standard flat deduction in order to use MI deduction. Tax experts correct me if I'm wrong.

The notion that stock buy backs will increase growth is dumb. The S&P is at an all time high and the economy is at ~3% growth from ~ 2% (and we are back to 2015 growth levels.) Are we really going to see that much of an improvement if the S&P goes up another 30%?

They are proposing eliminating the property tax deduction though; which would royally gently caress me as I live in CT and pay over $9,000 a year in property taxes. Don't see how that ultimately gets through though considering the number of red districts in NY and NJ which would be adversely effected.

Yeah eliminating deductions of local and state taxes will gently caress over blue states, which is probably intentional. Red parts of blue states will just serve as collateral damage to loving over liberals.
