I sat next to Joe Biden at Dave & Buster's last night and he turned to me with tears in his eyes, saying he couldn't believe that eggs cost $45 a dozen now and that he's going to be voting for TRUMP

yes, it was my favorite image of the trump presidency. just trump standing and staring at a sign that said "heat, sunlight, disinfectant are all ways to kill the virus" and then, seconds later, gets on stage all "folks have you heard about sunlight and heat? they kill the virus!" as if he just thought of it and it was time to educate all of us idiots that had no idea the whole thing would be gone by summer: because summer is hot and has sun! have you heard about this? do you know this? sunlight? heat? bad for virus?

It actually belies another really dangerous problem with his administration. I imagine that there were so many things that could have gone a lot better if we just had someone that cared about the job as much as he cared about the title.

He obviously wasn't reading briefs or actually listening to his advisors on really important things.

Honestly I am of the mindset that his executive time was just him trying to run his other businesses.

Aren't there "Art of The Deal" era stories of him walking into the offices of people he was trying to negotiate with, making some stupid "make it so" style proclamation, and then walking out of the room. Leaving everyone else involved to actually hash out the details and arrangements.

even parts of rural pa, in my experience. i dont think butler or venango county are going deep blue anytime soon but they're not as deep red as they used to be. and while it might not do much for some of the local races, in the state races those places are vital for trump to have any success.

Kitchen Pro-Tip:

Get two dishwashers. We live in an old house with a small kitchen so we had to settle for a Fisher & Paykel double drawer dishwasher, but it means you never have dirty dishes in your sink, once you are finished with them either eating or cooking you just put them in one dishwasher and wait until it becomes full enough to run (Honestly we run ours every night even if there are just dinner dishes in there) and you can immediately start putting dishes in the other dishwasher when you run it. Most of the time when I am cooking I just load all the cooking dishes into one dishwasher as I am done with it and immediately run it while we eat. Also perfect for entertaining.

Dirty dishes in a sink is like one of those things that for some reason people think is normal but it just makes you look lazy.

Incredible waste of energy and resources

I read an article a while back which was talking to a guy who was on the team which prepared his security briefings. Normally they would be pages and pages of detailed information, but for TRUMP they had to dumb them down to literally a few a bullet points on a a single page, and they learned that they needed to grab his attention and use his language or he'd instantly lose interest.
So they would be things like

"North Korea wants to build new nukes, and if we don't stop them they'll think we're LOSERS! We have to show them that President Trump is TOUGH and a WINNER!"

"China has a new type of tank, so President Trump needs to show them who's the BOSS and authorise this anti-tank missile to defeat it LIKE A DOG!"

I'm curious what Trumpers think he will do about 'woke' if he's elected.

Like, do they think he's going to pass a law preventing bans of Nazis on social media? Imprison tv execs who stop having radical right wingers appear on talk shows? A hard maximum cap of non straight, white, Christian males per season of a series?

Yeah it’s this. Trump’s last “tax break” meant I went from getting a pretty decent refund to owing money these days

Your refund or bill when you file your taxes is not your taxes. What you withhold every pay period is (supposed to be) your taxes. If you keep owing money (or even getting a "decent refund") at the end of the year then you should redo your W4.

You probably did get a "tax break" but your withholding isn't accounting for the larger standard deduction.

A buddy of mine used to be a commercial real estate lawyer in NYC. Purchases, sales of, leases in buildings you’ve seen level. Apparently what would happen was his team would brief the other team beforehand on this. They’d come together, make the deal work, get the contracts right, and get to a sales price. Then they’d go “Donald is going to come in and demand 20% off the top or it’s no deal. So we’ve reached a price of X, go write up the closing papers with a price of 1.2X so he can do that and you can give it to him.”

Technically the bill owed is your taxes because your withholding didn't withhold enough to pay all your taxes, or non-withheld income is a factor. Also how would a larger standard deduction make you owe more money(outside of moving you to a new tax bracket)?

What I'm saying is, there's no reason to defend the Trump tax breaks unless you make a guillotine-able amount of money, because statistically speaking, they weren't in your favor.

Well, yeah it is. Refund is overpayment of taxes. Bill is taxes due. Both are still tax.

I claim 0 on every W4 I've ever filed. Let them take out the maximum amount every paycheck.

Sure it's an interest-free loan to the government that I can otherwise invest, but I like the guarantee of a fat refund every year. When that check comes with everything all at once, I pay down bills and take trips.
