Stick a fork in it. Lucky #13 is done and on to #14...

Funniest thing you've said all day.

David Trone D MD6 is back and voting. That'll raise the threshold again.

The House of Representatives of the United States of America is nonfunctional and you ask, "So why does this concern you so much?" They have cultivated these dingbat candidates for decades, starting around Gingrinch's time, and now the bill is coming due. My biggest concern today is whether it is possible to die from a schadenfreude overdose.

The taxes that he owed were offset with tax credits and he was refunded those monies by the IRS. Net tax paid was near zero, as has been widely reported. The next question to be answered is, "Were those tax credits fraudulent?"

Wesley Hunt of TX38 is absent. He was a McCarthy vote.

Or how many vote 'present'.

Not this time. 5 against so far. Better luck next time, Qevin.

Net. Tax. Look it up.

Well, maybe not 'anyone' ... https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/matt-gaetz-andy-biggs-fundraise-blocking-mccarthy-speakership-1234656547/

Objection! Hearsay! Object in question has never been proven to exist.

Here's an artist's rendition of the moment.

Getting closer but still no cigar.

I doubt hardly anyone is happy with this shitshow.

Read the wiki article. I think you're missing the term 'net tax'. https://www.npr.org/2022/12/20/1144472882/a-house-panel-voted-to-publicly-release-a-report-on-trumps-tax-returns You can pay lots of taxes, offset those with credits and owe $0 net tax.

If you take fraudulent deductions to get a refund, is that still tax paid? Come on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_returns_of_Donald_Trump#2020_New_York_Times_reporting

I agree. I was answering the part about where he got his money. Lots of incel followers paying him for his red pill bullshit about women.

Well, nothing at all happens until there's a speaker elected.

Are you not looking a few lines below to the lines labeled "Refund" ? In 2020 alone, he got a ~$5.5M refund. You get any better at this and Askren's gonna have you on his show hawking bitcoin.

That's not my twitter account, but I wish it were.

lol It's a fine time for meme makers...
