I have to wonder how they persuaded homophobic men to sign up to such a study.

Isn’t that more of the same crime the trial was about?

I actually think the comment could be interpreted as Trump shit on the desk before leaving either to spite Biden (instead of leaving the traditional letter), or his declining mind allowed him to let slip an accident he himself had personally, and that “‘disgusting Biden’ is still using it, what a weirdo, I wouldn’t use it after I soiled it”.

In the 1960s, George Romney, Mitt’s father, regularly turned down his bonuses from his auto executive job, perhaps in part because his marginal tax rate would have been about 90 percent

If this is true he’s a fucking idiot. 10% of $x is better than $0. More likely the reason was that the bonuses pushed him over some threshold so he lost some other benefit, making it a net loss, or he negotiated some alternative compensation mechanism that had reduced or deferrable tax liability.

You don’t need any appraisal. You only need to know the purchase price and the selling price. The difference between them is the gain or loss.

There is no canon in the TCU.

I know this kind of requires some cunning, but maybe he’s playing at developing dementia in order to get out of any upcoming sentences, as a backup plan in case he doesn’t manage to win or steal the presidency.

Too close to the election. Republicans will just block a Biden nomination until after the election, in the hopes of another Trump nominee.

In the UK, ‘trump’ means fart.

Did they block her from the caucus, or did she choose not to enter the caucus? If the former, how, and if the latter, why?

But why isn’t Nikki Haley running in the caucus?

It’s crappy lawyers all the way down.

USA was the first democracy in the world

Uh, no it wasn’t.

I’ve seen reusable metal aeropress filters on amazon with reviews complaining they let through too much grit, so perhaps one of them would work better than the paper filters.

He means “the real fraud is on me” in the same sense the Milky Bar Kid says “the Milky Bars are on me!”

Also Mr “what my daughter and I have in common is sex”

If they rule for immunity, Biden should just hold Congress hostage until they pass some Constitutional amendments, such as scrapping Electoral College, adding term limits to Supreme Court, etc, then a final one that explicitly disavows any such immunity for the President or any other person, from the moment he releases them forward.

As long as the candidates are also House members, and they can be changed part of the way through their term, that’s just the parliamentary system, like the UK, Australia, NZ, etc have.

there would be some special agreement between Georgia and the federal government to defer his sentence until he was out of office

Even more reason for him to pull out all the stops to ensure his term never ends.

“Not to exceed the GREATER of $25,000 or three times…”

If the value gained was $5K, the fine is the greater of $15K and $25K, i.e. $25K. If the value gained was $500K, then the fine is the greater of $1.5M and $25K, i.e. $1.5M.

$25,000 is the MINIMUM fine.
