  1. What are you on about here? We detain and deport hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants every year. The only difference now is that ICE is boarding fucking school buses to shake down children. You know, the segment of the population that traditionally caries around fucking ID on them.
  2. I'm rocking an iPhone 13 and clicking the lock button 5 times does the trick
  3. I know you know this, but it's always worth repeating in the off chance that somebody may read it for the first time, but we have many legitimate reasons other than just helping an ally and defending democracy (which should be enough by itself). The majority of money we've "spent" has never left the States. It's being spent all over the county in factories, providing munitions, supplies, thousands of jobs, etc. And all the vehicles, tanks and whatnot were a liability for us as we were paying to store, maintain and eventually pay to dispose of them.
  4. Nice! I knew rebooting did that, but this makes so much more sense and it's practically instantaneous.
  5. I would imagine so. @closetojumping and @RGBIII might be better situated to answer that since they’re far more involved on the donor side than I am and might have a better idea of how many of the big donors are doing it primarily for tax purposes. Doubt it changes much for the small- to mid-tier guys though.
  6. Sure. Or you could have a couple hundred bucks a month that you’re willing to trade in exchange for having an extra 10-15 hours a month to spend with your kids
  7. And also, yes. As CTJ said, all donations made up until the date we (hypothetically) lose our tax exempt status remain tax exempt. The IRS can’t come back and change that, at least not without a showing of fraud or something, which there absolutely has not been with us…can’t speak for some schools though. I think a few might be puckering up a bit.
  8. I’ve got to do some more reading up on that, but once everybody started copying us (and being fucking idiots and grifters with it), I’ve been waiting for the IRS to change their tune. I still believe the way we’ve run it is absolutely above board and in line with the purpose of a tax exempt organization, but there’s always the chance we get wiped out with an overly broad stroke of policy making.
  9. No dummy. Once tariffs are in place, we’ll be importing $11.25 billion! Don’t you see how much wealthier we obviously became?
  10. It’s winter time. Most people don’t have their lawn crew come around for a couple months.
  11. Exactly my thought when I first saw it. Get all the “disloyal” people to resign based on a false promise, then tell em later they don’t get shit. Best case they get a couple weeks of pay
  12. First correct thing you’ve said all day!
  13. I’m quite positive that it was fairly early in the morning when I came to your house. I’m very hurt I wasn’t offered any of said tacos
  14. This. The report is intentionally misleading.
  15. The IRS doesn't even care how you make your money, as long as you report it and pay taxes. Doesn't matter how illegal it was for you to make it (you robbed a bank, you sell drugs, you took a bribe, etc), the IRS can't unilaterally inform law enforcement about it.
  16. I flew Aeromexico last week. Peanuts were served. They were delicious.
  17. My Free Cams Danger Girl, IIRC
  18. From the article: "Agents in unmarked SUVs rounded up people in vans outside a Home Depot and gas station that serves a breakfast popular with field workers." It's OK to say tacos. We all love tacos.
  19. He already has. On multiple occasions.
  20. Pilot and co-pilot have a side hustle as sommeliers so they were allowed to come back.
  21. Republicans better stop calling the border a "disaster" or else a Trump EO might unintentionally block his own border wall funding.
  22. I'm extremely hesitant to question you on this, but it seems a little hard to believe. Oddly, I can't really find much after a more-than-cursory internet search. It seems there have been numerous accidents in the Panama Canal, some of which apparently weren't even known about until they mapped the seafloor fairly recently. I can't find any articles that mention the canal was even temporarily shut down from any incidents though. Maybe the vessel would have to be sunk in a very particular place? The only thing I can definitely say based on my searching is that this is the premise of numerous fictional novels.
  23. Maybe it's too early in the day for me, so I could be misunderstanding you. That would also be when Trump was in control.
  24. All non-DEI employees must be pissed they don't get all this paid vacation time.
