I agree there is extra garbage. Particularly on the second bill. The first bill (preventing hedge funds from buying single family homes) is pretty clear of pork. The second one as you mentioned is BS taxes and full of pork.

I read it too, which is why I responded the way I did. What makes them happy doesn't work for me. Not to say that it doesn't work for them, but happiness isn't a "one size fits all" thing.

They think they can "tell" you to be happy 1984 style. They are fucking psychopaths - completely disconnected from reality. They don't understand that different people have different needs and different sources of happiness. For me and you it might be some pew pew time at the range, a few...
But I thought he was a multi-billionaire? Can't even come up with 464 million? Sell some stuff and pay your bill, just like everyone else would have to do. What a poser.
You're not wrong there. Just pointing out that the dems want to do something about it, and the repubs think it's just fine in this particular case. Also, for once in a blue moon the democrats main solution isn't a "free shit" giveaway... it's just preventing giant corporations from using their...
Democrats in Congress have introduced a bill in both houses of Congress on Tuesday to ban hedge funds from buying and owning single-family homes in the United States. The bill would require hedge funds, defined as corporations, partnerships or real estate investment trusts that manage funds...
Wrong.

Depends on the crypto. Something like Bitcoin has a hard cap, and as you said math don't give a flip. Others have declining inflation built in. Dogecoin for example. Every year a fixed amount is mined with no hard cap. So say for easy illustration 1 million doge a year are mined. From year...
They should, but it's not going to happen. If you had a customer already "happily" paying a rate would you cut your profit? Probably not, and neither will they - they say: "Ooooh a safe driver, more money for us!". The only way to get a lower rate is to switch insurance companies, which is...

No. Impeachment is not a criminal or civil trial. Hypothetically let's say Trump was convicted during his impeachment trial - the only thing that would have happened directly as a consequence of the congressional impeachment proceeding is he would have been thrown out of office, nothing more...
This was the right ruling. It never should have even got to this point. He has not been convinced in any court of insurrection. It is unjust to hold someone accountable to penalties for actions they have not been convicted of. Full stop.
Wrong take IMO. At 13 did you know it was wrong to gang bang and get in shootouts? I knew that was wrong at 13. I would have known it even if I wasn't told as it's pretty obvious. I'm pretty sure you did too.
I'm not celebrating it, but I'm also not going to feel bad about it.

There should be a light at each register / checkout station at the grocer that flashes red and calls out "deadbeat" over and over on a speaker above the checkout when someone checks out using EBT. The bags should also be bright red too. They have to carry the public assistance around to get it.
Not true. Some cases were indeed dismissed based on lack of standing. Standing is important. That being said, in any if those states they could have had literally 1 person from that state be a plaintiff and they'd have standing. They didn't do that... know why? They knew their cases were...
They weren't investigated because the judges basically said, "show us your evidence", and the GOP/Trump representation replied with crickets. The cases are public record.
If you don't present discoverable supporting evidence your case almost always gets tossed, that's how courts work.
