I just want everyone to know I predicted Ted Lieu would give a response, just not that he'd choose to do it on his own.

Go away, Ted Lieu.

Fan of Britches

If anyone wants some quick numbers to cite from analysis like this, consider the top states in the US for billionaires (with a grain of salt, given that it's from Forbes and I'm not sure their metrics are public) : California has 124, New York has 93, Texas has 48, and Florida has 44. That's over half the total number in the US, and no other state cracks 20.

In order, California has the highest top marginal rate in the union, at 13.2%. I believe that includes long term capital gains. New York has a relatively high top marginal rate of 8.82%, and I think that includes capital gains. Texas and Florida do not have an income tax.

Those numbers are obviously not of the same magnitude as a return to a 70% top marginal rate. But by the same token, moving within the United States is a vastly different proposition from relocating to another country. There are a lot of factors involved in people of such absolute means choosing to live where they do. I'll believe some billionaires moved to Texas or Florida, and I absolutely believe the fantastically wealthy will act to minimize their tax burden. I also don't think that billionaires will stop living in California or New York any time soon, and if Texas implements an income tax I don't think we'll see a flood of wealthy Texans moving to income-tax-free South Dakota to join the lone billionaire there.

There’s like a combined 5,000 troops in Syria and Afghanistan vs half a million active duty troops already in the US.

Signal boost doesn't man agreement. Putting these morons in front of anyone is a terrible thing to do, especially if there are non regressive sources to use instead. If it's the only source, whatever. But posting Wohl twitter and the equivalents should be probatable at this point.

The tweet also fails to take into account that you can often shave 30 - 50% of a sentence off (depending on your location) for "good time" spent in jail/prison, i.e. generally avoiding problematic behavior for the system.

So 2.5 years to go doesn't conform with the reality of the situation at all if he hasn't had issues and is good time-eligible.

The thread has more information about how the sentence works. The 2.5 years is assuming good behavior.

Keep grinding,
I hope you level up! :)

Although it might seem like :tinfoil: , there is a possibility, on the outside, that this was done on purpose to communicate facts to other parties. Manafort has now managed to communicate to other witnesses what he said, or might have said, to the OSC, and the other witnesses now have a way to guide where their stories are.

It seems far-fetched, but it also seems far-fetched that professional lawyers do not know how to redact documents.

In case anyone needs a reminder, everything about this case is fractally weird. You zoom in on the details, and it is more weird, and there doesn't seem to any limit to how many steps of association the miasma of incompetency covers.
