One of my Breitbart reading coworkers was explaining the "Freedom Index". It's basically a ranking of the best places to live in the US if you love "freedom", or, if you are an "rear end in a top hat". According to the Freedom Index, the best places to live are... *shuffles papers* New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and Indiana. Well OK. I'm going to...I'm going to just live in hell. Yeah, I'll just stay in liberal hell, we have no freedoms, stay away conservatives. You can have Indiana.

Of course New Hampshire is free because the alternative is literally death. Occasionally some politician will propose a bill that's less free, but NOOOO the voters know that's just a murder trick.

New Hampshire is also free of any revenue to update their lovely, lovely infrastructure because they're scared to death of taxing their residents.

Katt posted:No but you see punching nazis just proves them right. We need to debate with them and convince them of the error of their ways. Only then can we defeat nazism. We've always had Nazis, lots of them in fact. It's just that they're more brazen to come out now because we have a president that is one openly. Punching them or not wouldn't effect how many Nazis exist. You'd also have a better chance convincing Trump his trade war stuff is bullshit than convince Nazis they're wrong. They call themselves Nazis for gently caress's sake, the dedicated evil of evils and are also dedicated MAGA chuds. The only way you'll convince them of anything is with a bullet. So we all have to push back against them in whatever way we can short of murder and pack them back into their little box

It's slightly dated now, but I finally got around to listening to the Opening Arguments podcast on Stormy Daniels and it's still a definite pro-click.

Not a tax lawyer but I belive the IRS has declared Bitcoins and similar as commodities and not a currency which means you owe Uncle Sam on every transaction and if you held them longer than a year they're subject to Capital Gains.

STAC Goat posted:That seems unlikely given the way things are going right now. Reagan won 49 states for his second term and "ended the Cold War." Trump has record low approval and has spent the last few years attacking drat near every institution and narrative writer including many on the right. Breitbart is dying. Fox News is losing ratings. Who is going to write the glowing history of Trump? You're probably right, but it's worth pointing out that at this stage of his first term Reagan was showing job approval ratings of around 40%. http://news.gallup.com/poll/11887/ronald-reagan-from-peoples-perspective-gallup-poll-review.aspx

The people can use the extra day off for FREEDOM! EDIT: More accurately, you can't get idiots to agree that these things (failing public schools, crumbling government institutions) are bad because they axiomatically see those things as good. They feel no sense of shame when they see that; they see a plan working as designed.

spite house posted:I was part of a documentary crew that went to Cleveland for the RNC and surprised myself by falling a little in love with it. I imagine it was on its best behavior so it wouldn't scare the Republicans, but I thought it was real pretty in a beat-up kind of way, and the locals were so nice and really wanted us to like Cleveland, and we met some truly ferocious activists who know the deal. I started half-seriously pricing real estate on Zillow, because the upper Midwest is where you want to be when climate change kicks in for real, until it occurred to me that I was there for one of maybe three weeks of nice weather out of the whole year. Oh well. Anyway Cleveland is like The whole rust belt is like that. I'm from Buffalo and you could walk up to any rando on the street and they will literally plan your entire week for you just to make sure you see what they love about our broken little city.

Reuters - Exclusive: As elections near, many older, educated, white voters shift away from Trump's partyquote:The 12-point swing is one of the largest shifts in support toward Democrats that the Reuters/Ipsos poll has measured over the past two years. If that trend continues, Republicans will struggle to keep control of the House of Representatives, and possibly the Senate, in the November elections, potentially dooming President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda. I mean I know it's based on polling, but Reuters usually doesn't gently caress around, right? This is what I was talking about a bit ago, these aren't the chuddy base, these are the people who wanted to "shake things up."

There aren't a lot of 'investers' who churn their 'portfolios' the way Coiners do. Like if I sell stock at a high profit, it's likely I've held on to that for awhile and won't pay as much in taxes. Or if I'm selling employer granted shares, taxes are likely to be withheld at the time of execution. These guys are essentially day traders and house flippers, but with absolutely no knowledge of anything they're doing and it's glorious to watch.
