  1. Thank goodness I only labelled Trump that way. He was their catalyst. "With more proof expected later" sounds like second cousin to "we have the receipts".
  2. Ha. He is a congressman. He can hold hearings. Happens all the time. He is on Twitter, the home of free speech absolutism. Have at it.
  3. I know "low T" is your new favorite thing to say, and it probably works great on the playground, but what I am saying is you are low IQ.
  4. Why is it that every time a Republican politician says they have the receipts, they never show the receipts, and we never hear about the receipts again?
  5. I can't believe you missed this one. https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/09/politics/rfk-jr-parastic-worm-brain/index.html Tell me you heard about the Central Park bear?
  6. Yeah, because he is out of his mind. Or at least the part the worm didn't eat.
  7. Counterpoint. Al Capone was only ever convicted of carrying a concealed weapon, contempt, and tax evasion. It is called legal realism.
  8. There is the third option you always fail to consider when trying to parse, split hairs, correct spelling, correct grammar etc. while poorly imitating Socrates, I find the distinction irrelevant.
  9. He has claimed he has three based on taking an Oly RS last year. But I have my doubts about that.
  10. The last attempted, and unsuccessful insurrection was put down on Jan. 6, 2021. I am glad I could help. I get that it requires a stunningly short and selective memory to support Trump.
  11. It does not contain any plans for an insurrection.
  12. You guys hilariously and conveniently forget that Trump was a democrat and has changed his political affiliation five times. Ol' Wind Sock Donnie.
  13. Set your excuses up early. A tried and true technique for someone preparing to lose.
  14. Another way to think about it is that the women, who had no historical basis to favor one style over the other, chose freestyle, suggesting that free is on the up swing while greco is stagnant.
  15. This year at U17 Euros - Men's free had 174 entrants from 31 countries - Men's greco had 197 from 34 - Women's free had 153 from 29 This year at U20 Euros - Men's free had 181 entrants from 28 countries - Men's greco 262 from 32 - Women's free had 151 from 26. So if you are comparing men's to men's outside of the US among the next generation, greco still has the edge. But a valid argument can be made that because there is no women's greco, greco is no longer the more popular style.
  16. For years the local (Chicago) ESPN talk radio affilate has had a segment called Florida or Ohio. Someone reads a bizzare news story and the hosts need to guess if it happened in Florida or Ohio.
  17. My proudest moment came when I was visiting my wife's cousin who I had been helping due to an accident he suffered. His 20 year old daughter, who is very blunt, came up to me and said, "I want you to make me rich." I told her I had no get rich quick schemes, but I knew how to make her rich slowly. But first she would need to read several emails I was going to write. I wrote the emails and figured that would be the end of it. A few months later she called me to say she had read the emails, and opened an account at Vanguard that she funded with $500, was she done? With a tear in my eye I told her almost. She now regularly makes deposits to her account and invests it wisely. She isn't close to being a millionaire yet, but she will be.
  18. Except 401k, IRAs, 501c3, etc. are categorically different from what I poorly described. All of those are structured to encourage investment/capital formation by deferring taxes, not avoiding. And they are specifically identified in law (hence names like 401k which refers to section 401, paragraph k of the Revenue Act of 1978). The trades I am refering to are to allow asset owners to synthetically sell appreciated assets without paying taxes on gains. These trades are not available to any but the ultra-wealthy because they need to be large enough for Wall Street to care. A classic, simple trade is called "buy, borrow, die". Buy an asset, if it appreciates significantly rather than sell borrow against it in a way that is tied to the price of the asset, then include the asset in your estate so that when you die the basis is marked to market and your heirs pay little to no taxes on the gains, but also don't get the gains because you borrowed against those. There are many, more clever trades that do not require death.
