  1. Seems to me it may have been well known about Diddy just like Weinstein. Fucking disgusting how they protect their own in entertainment.
  2. I'd like to own a meme stock that made me billions......how about you? You are so predictable. Rather Trump, COVID or Ukraine you come running. Be honest....it just burns you he fell ass backwards into billions of dollars.
  3. Sure it is. Takes two to tango most of the time. Just with them its less often and for less money.
  4. Oh this is just gonna kill people on here. @Crnr2Crnr Trump’s Truth Social Stock Shoots Up On First Day After Hitting Stock Market Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s social media company Truth Social shot off to a blistering start in its stock market debut on Tuesday, surging more than 50% at the beginning of trading. Trump Media & Technology Group began trading on the Nasdaq index under the ticker name “DJT,” the initials for Donald John Trump. The stock dipped from its opening spike to around $71 a share by 10:30 a.m. ET, 42% higher than its closing price on Monday. Meanwhile, Trump owns a massive majority stake in DJT with almost 79 million shares, raising his value to nearly $5.9 billion
  5. It would if they had time to drop anchor and didn't.
  6. Bit surprised ships of this size didn't need mandatory tug escorts for this reason alone. How long before it hit the bridge did it lose power? Did it not have a chance to drop anchor?
  7. Unfortunately sexual abuse of children is a human thing not a profession thing. Yes some choose professions because of the access to kids but there are pedophiles in all walks of life. Its also extremely tied to drug and alcohol abuse of the abusers.
  8. Effective tax rates for the wealthy went up under Reagan. People like you can't comprehend that income tax rates really don't mean all that much. Need to look at the whole picture.
  9. Stuff like this doesn't need legislation. Can be done by EPA rules and regs or more so the lack there of. Reality is we need to take some power away from the executive branch with the way their departments can wield power without congressional approval. Also really bogs down the legal system.
  10. Yes he did on 50% of the income.....then came Clinton/Gore. Q4. Which political party increased the taxes on Social Security annuities? A4. In 1993, legislation was enacted which had the effect of increasing the tax put in place under the 1983 law. It raised from 50% to 85% the portion of Social Security benefits subject to taxation; but the increased percentage only applied to "higher income" beneficiaries. Beneficiaries of modest incomes might still be subject to the 50% rate, or to no taxation at all, depending on their overall taxable income. This change in the tax rate was one provision in a massive Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) passed that year. The OBRA 1993 legislation was deadlocked in the Senate on a tie vote of 50-50 and Vice President Al Gore cast the deciding vote in favor of passage. President Clinton signed the bill into law on August 10, 1993. (You can find a brief historical summary of the development of taxation of Social Security benefits on the Social Security website.)
  11. Remove income taxes on it and lower benefits to match. Cut fed spending to offset lost tax revenue.
  12. Oh FFS....you are comparing a HC plan to the head of the EPA changing regulations that doesn't need congress at all?
  13. November can't come soon enough. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-finalizes-crackdown-gas-cars-forcing-more-than-50-of-car-sales-to-be-electric Under the new regulations, which will be formally announced at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., later on Wednesday afternoon, automakers will be forced to rapidly curb the emissions of greenhouse gases, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter from new passenger cars, light trucks, and larger pickups and vans beginning with model year 2027 vehicles. When the tailpipe emissions rules kick in, automakers will be compelled to increase production and sales of EVs, plug-in hybrids, traditional hybrids and fuel cell vehicles. Under one "low cost" model EPA outlined in the rule, officials said automakers would be forced to ensure 56% of light-duty car sales are battery electric and another 13% are hybrid by 2032.
  14. In other words crime statistics are bullshit especially when trying to compare them to previous years. According to the FBI the rate has always been somewhat consistent until 2021's new system. https://iowacapitaldispatch.com/2023/10/28/politicians-love-to-cite-crime-data-its-often-wrong/#:~:text=The FBI transitioned to a,accepted crime data through NIBRS.
  15. Its so egregious I don't see them rejecting it. Kind of like the Colorado case. It involves more than just monetary penalties but possible influence on American's choice of political candidates.
  16. Sure they also have an interest in under reporting to show they are doing their jobs and that they won't lose them for poor performance.
