Apparently the big plan is to raise $68 billion to get the Palestinians to make concessions for peace. Art of the Deal!

Ask me about Proposition 305


Do you like muskets?
So here's something fun about the SBP-DIC offset: You can give SBP to your kid so that they can get the DOD benefit and you can draw the VA benefit. SBP for your kid ends after they hit a certain age, but it's better than losing the whole loving thing.

An unintended consequence of the GOP's new tax laws was that SBP given to a kid got lumped in with inheritances and poo poo for tax purposes, so the tax liability on a dependent child receiving SBP went up by something stupid like over 300%.

Senator Doug Jones, cosponsor of this go-around's Senate bill to repeal the offset (S622), has also cosponsored S1370. S1370 is a bill to fix the tax problem.

It went from being introduced to passed unanimously in the Senate in less than two weeks. Meanwhile S622, with 67 cosponsors, is still languishing away in committee just like every other bill on the issue has for the past 20 loving years.

I get that changing tax law is easier than identifying a funding source, but Jesus Christ. S1370 wouldn't even have been loving necessary if Congress had repealed the offset at any point in the past 20 loving years.

Meanwhile HR 553 is up to 304 cosponsors. This, of course, means gently caress-all but at least we know that members of Congress are pretending to pay attention to this issue.

Seriously, shut the fuck up.

:dukedog:
That gets a big old "whatever" from me because Donny's whole argument for not turning them over is that he's under audit, which the IRS has publicly stated is not something that would prevent him from releasing them. Those things have to be full of a bunch of really damaging financial information, less in the camp of the financial crimes, and more in the area of him being broke as poo poo.

Edit: Donny is too stupid to know what sorts of financial crimes would be in them anyway. All he knows is that they would hurt his image of the big, strong, rich boy.

If privilege isn't legally applicable then there isn't an interlocutory roll for initiative or THAC0 or something, they would be beholden to the subpoena and that would be the end of it. The lawyers would know that.
