A GIANT PARSNIP posted:The first comment shows they didn’t put cuffs on anyone and let the group do their thing. I 100% get the backlash against cops dragging people from wheelchairs during the ACA repeal debacle, but what did you want them to do differently here? Do you expect no police to show up when a group of people start demonstrating outside the office of the speaker of the house? Even preparing to cuff children is bad optics. There was no threat there. Just stand by and let them do their thing without the zip ties in hand.

Thalantos posted:Nope, I'm self employed, I don't have any benefits, just paychecks. Investigate Credit Unions. They tend to be good for people in your situation. They are not the big banks, they are small local cooperative banks. You will *not* work until the day you die, and you are deluding yourself in a very typical "young guy" way if you think you will. Almost everyone has a period in which they are too sick or elderly to work but not yet dead. This period is usually at least 10 years for most, sometimes 20.

Angry_Ed posted:Nice job taking the one sentence and ignoring the whole statement. It's not "whinging about imperfections" to criticize him for not owning up to what he did. That's not "could've been better" that's "didn't even try." ou're right his apology to Leeann Tweeden isn't a complete non-apology, but it was still some weak poo poo followed by this. The fact he went after Moore or Trump doesn't change what he did and his own failure to take responsibility for it. Him stepping down is good, but he should have bit his own tongue off before rolling with this "they're liars or they have bad memories" poo poo.

Not sure of your tax situation, but if you invest in stocks and donate the stocks themselves to charity, you may be able to get a bigger deduction (in-kind vs. cash contribution). 2) Do some volunteer work! Charities need volunteers as well as cash.

TGLT posted:Okay, which of them do you think are lying? Do you think they're all lying, because he didn't admit to any of them. I'm not saying he shouldn't resign for what he did. I just wonder if he has to admit to things he might not have done. I didn't listen to the full speech so I didn't know if he denied everything he has been accused of. I'm glad he stepped down. The Democrats have to show, to the furthest extent possible, that they live up to their own rhetoric.

The Macaroni posted:1) Take some money and invest it. A couple times a year, withdraw a small portion of it and donate it, but keep the nest egg going. If at some point you decide you really don't need it, you'll have more to share. That sounds like I need to hire a financial advisor! I'm still really new at making this much money.  I do do volunteer work, I just hate going out of my house and interacting with people, so donating money is easier mentally for me.

My Dad had a lot of investments with AIARC. The process for withdrawing that at the moment has been hard as gently caress. Which is kind of a good thing in that their security checks are stupidly rigorous.

We're better than this and we're better than that apology but I'll take a lovely apology and a resignation over a non-apology and staying in office.

It's perfectly possible to save a quarter of your excess, give the rest to charity, and you'll be doing great Plus, make a will, and leave everything to charity. If you have reason to suppose that you will die young, there's no reason to delay. There are online will-writing services.

One could argue we're already holding our own party to a higher standard because he resigned and was pressured to do so. You're right, having the right politics isn't a get out of jail free card (and I wasn't really trying to suggest that it was), and ultimately this probably isn't over. I'm sure more allegations will probably surface even now that he's left office, but again I take some solace in the fact that he did the only real right thing in this situation by retiring, crappy apology aside. It sends a signal, however small, that the Democrats won't tolerate sexual abuse allegations even if the person committing them waffles on admitting to them being true or gives an apology followed by near un-apologizing when they actually retire.
