Enforcing the stereotype. I was in Taco Bell today and while I was standing there waiting for my order a car pulls up by the front door. A young Black man gets out with a beverage container in his hand, throws what was left of the liquid and ice on the sidewalk by the front door. Then proceeds directly to the drink machines and fills it up with his favorite drink with ice, turns around and walks right back out of the building, gets into his car and drives off. He just looked straight ahead coming and going and never said a word. I was amazed.
I see that ALL THE TIME.

They don't even care now that they will even bring in a cup from a different fast food joint.

In fact, taxing unrealized gains already occurs with section 1256 contracts and straddles.
And also with AMT, which taxes unrealized gains on incentive stock options. A lot of people got royally screwed for tax year 2000 when they exercised their ISOs and the market crashed before they sold the stock. They were taxed on the gain in the year of exercise, and after the market crashed selling all of the stock wouldn't cover the taxes. A bunch of high-tech workers had a net loss of more than $100k, of the tax due vs. what they could sell the stock for. (For some bigwigs the net loss was in the millions). Congress changed the law a bit in 2006 to allow the net loss to be recovered in some cases, but it's still a trap that can tax unrealized gains with the taxpayer ultimately having a net loss,

Since all of these California cities are already bankrupt, does anyone want to bet against my thinking that they got the money for this from pork in the US budget scam that recently passed? AKA, you and I are paying for this BS...

SODOMONEY!

AH, they just found some more substantiated voter fraud!

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A former Trump administration official now running for Congress in New Hampshire voted twice during the 2016 primary election season, potentially violating federal voting law and leaving him at odds with the Republican Party’s intense focus on “election integrity.”

Matt Mowers, a leading Republican primary candidate looking to unseat Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas, cast an absentee ballot in New Hampshire’s 2016 presidential primary, voting records show. At the time, Mowers served as the director of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s presidential campaign in the pivotal early voting state.

Four months later, after Christie’s bid fizzled, Mowers cast another ballot in New Jersey’s Republican presidential primary, using his parents’ address to re-register in his home state, documents The Associated Press obtained through a public records request show.

Legal experts say Mowers’ actions could violate a federal law that prohibits “voting more than once” in “any general, special, or primary election.” That includes casting a ballot in separate jurisdictions “for an election to the same candidacy or office.” It also puts Mowers, who was a senior adviser in Donald Trump’s administration and later held a State Department post, in an awkward spot at a time when much of his party has embraced the former president’s lies about a stolen 2020 election and has pushed for restrictive new election laws.

This stupid bastard needs to be replaced and relieved of his and all future positions. What an embarrassment.

And then there is this. No one gives a damn that she is a woman, but its the reason WHY she is being appointed to the position. Fuck Joe and the Hoe! If he wasn't going thru dementia, I would assume that he
is the REAL Manchurian Candidate!
