That's my thought. mspart

This is a huge federal legal issue. It needs to be resolved objectively. If that means more Hunter in the news, then so be it. The Feds need to get this right and it appears to everyone that they are doing their darnedest to get it wrong. It is not a good look to the majority of citizens I'm sure. Even those who are on Team Biden must be thinking, "wait, what if I get in trouble, will I get the same kind of help Hunter is getting?" Of course we all know the answer to that. It depends on when and what party controls the presidency. I hate to say it that bluntly, but that is where this country is going. So now, who can trust the Judiciary to do the right thing? Hopefully this gets corrected. mspart

Term limits is a Constitutional issue as SCOTUS said some time ago. Pay is another matter and is up to Congress to make. Those are big numbers but it is expensive to live there. I'm not sure item 1 is doable but the idea is not bad. I'm not sure turning over their entire wealth to the treasury is a good idea. What rich guy would want to do that? A middle class guy might be ok with it except for any savings or other investments they have. Poor guys wouldn't care. But this is interesting to say the least. mspart

I'm guessing he and his team think he is that good. Maybe he is. Maybe not. I would be 100% on the WT and training like it. mspart

Seattle - 1. allowing open hard drug usage and possession. 2. Not enforcing defacement laws 3. Allowing CHAZ/CHOP to exist. 4. Allowing the east precinct (in CHAZ/CHOP) to be ransacked and shut down. 5. Passing a law to not follow State Law drug policy - no prosecution of drug offenses. 6. Allowing shoplifting if it is under $900. 7. Allowing criminals to use guns in criminal enterprises and when caught throw out the gun charges. 8. Setting up safe drug usage zones. 9. Fix all that by cleaning up around the ball park for the ALL STAR GAME. People were amazed at no poop or pee on the sidewalks, been a long time since they were last clean. 10. Now we'll see if the city council has the drive to keep the city clean. There's a few for you. mspart

Ah Man!! I was looking forward to doing that one. mspart

Le Duke, How is he being willfully ignorant? How is he being naive? mspart

Isn't that the definition of a tax cut? I pay x now, but I will be paying x-y then. So I get to keep my y amount of money. I'm not clear on what you are saying here. Of course it is my money if I get reduced rate or a credit that is not more than what I paid in. That is the definition of a tax cut. mspart

I don't understand this. They will not get their loan forgiven but the interest will? So that is $48k of interest for each borrower? That's a huge average loan. I'm guessing with payouts averaging $48k, this is not just covering interest but principle as well. That said, with a 30 year loan you can pay 2-3 times the principle in interest. So maybe it is not a stretch but anyone taking out that kind of loan for a non paying degree doesn't deserve to have loan forgiveness. Those that did get a paying degree, same. Just my thoughts on this. mspart

Interesting thoughts! mspart

Well, it is not the WC now is it. Not everyone is going to show up. But a ranking tourney is for those wanting seeds in the WCs so it will be tough than the Spanish Gran Prix lets say. Anyway, We should have had 5 golds if Dake and Taylor were there. The other World Team members did well medalling. mspart

I'm sure they don't have business licenses and such.

Sorry Bob, you'll need to pick up your own slack. Being dead doesn't excuse you from due diligence. mspart

So what are you saying? You made a statement of what the issue was that is driving this latest effort. Reports are that $39 billion goes to 804k borrowers for this latest effort. That is over 48K per borrower on average. That is what will be paid out for the items you described. Not sure how that is not what you are saying when you said it. Those are the numbers for what your definitive statement below describes. It seems to me like that is what you were saying. I'm not sure how to interpret it otherwise. mspart

So 3 golds, 2 silvers, and 3 bronzes for MFS. Again, that is a pretty good showing! mspart

Yes, WA pot biz's have run into this as well. mspart

WKN - So you are saying that these loan holders were cheated out of $48k? Seems like an awful lot for failing to count certain payments as required payments. From WSJ - 804000 borrowers, 39 billion dollars. That is $48,500 per borrower. Seems like an overreach based on what you present. mspart

Perhaps it went public because the Ds really don't want Biden and Kamala to run again? Just throwing that out there. mspart

Jim Fixx taught us that. mspart

El Paso has been over 100 for 28 days. We have been in the 70's for a week now in PNW. Pleasant but not too hot. mspart

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12297141/Drugs-White-House-THREE-TIMES-2022.html Drugs have been found at the White House THREE TIMES since 2022: Secret Service confirms marijuana was also discovered during the Biden administration - sparking more questions about security. The Secret Service confirmed Thursday that marijuana was found twice at the White House in 2022, sparking more questions about security after cocaine was discovered there earlier this month. Secret Service officials talked pot to members of Congress during a Thursday briefing on the investigation into the cocaine found in the West Wing on Sunday, July 2, with Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert then telling reporters about it. The Secret Service Uniformed Division later confirmed details to DailyMail.com, noting that 'small amounts of marijuana' were found in June and September of 2022. This is interesting. mspart

Well, I'd have to say I am not impacted even a little. But their residuals argument is something to look at. mspart

OOOOOCH!!! mspart

Chance with the Bronze! That is awesome. Hoping for similar from Vito. Sorry to hear that Dom Parrish lost. Was she hurt? What happened? mspart

Historically, it has not happened. But they keep trying. mspart
