Apparently part of the witness tampering/intimidation charges are because he's been sending credible death threats. To add to that, Stone was almost always surrounded by various right wing militia/proud boy types for private security. There was a non-zero chance that Stone would have armed guards in his house at the time of the raid. Further, Stone was at extreme risk of destroying evidence, ala Michael Cohen, if he had been given notice and allowed to turn himself in.

Every bit of that adds up to the raid happening the way it did.

Are bonuses typically taxed as regular income?

Mine are usually taxed at a slightly higher rate. Pretty sure most employers classify a bonus as a bonus when it's paid to you and it's taxed accordingly.

The governor's office has been silent about it this far. The running joke is that it got missed during the campaign as too many Republicans would get shown the picture and vote for Northam.

So, Gov. Fairfax when?

There was a good article a few years ago about the pats fanbase being from a very blue region and coming to terms with Trump's relationship with Brady and Belichick,

IDK, I think the media still does a pretty bang-up job of turning a turd sandwich into a poo poo avalanche, and IIRC a lot of the issues surrounding the DNA test were disingenuously targeted (shocking, I know). Sanders could've used his platform to bolster a candidate like Warren and draw attention to where the media is being lovely about their coverage, but instead-- eehh. I'm not super enthusiastic about it.

I'd just like one election to go by where we're not talking about wardrobe and likability. Like, just one.

Also, whoever said '$15/hour should be the floor you work up from on a state by state basis' is correct.

Pretty much how I'm feeling as well.

I'm pulling for Warren unless Duckworth suddenly decides she wants to run. I don't dislike Sanders, but I like Warren a hell of a lot more for whatever reason.

Duckworth better run. Her drat husband better step up and take the baby of her hands for the good of the country.

The interview he gave CBS today when he announced he was running was pretty good in that when they asked him about his age, he didn't have an entirely poo poo answer. Still, he's oldddddd.

No, but I feel like I just read about 4 pages of "I used to like Candidate X until I found out their favorite color was green so now they're poo poo."

The thread now hates Bernie and Biden for gently caress's sake.

Yeah in regards to the Warren being a republican up until 1996 thing, doesn't really bother me all that much when you look at what New England Republicans usually end up being and they're usually far and wide much different then their national brethren. Maine and New Hampshire excluded.

Totally agree with the Democrat Jesus thing though. But I think it's unfair to cast any criticism of primary candidates aside as "you're just nitpicking and looking for Dem Jesus!"
