It is very common for settlements be paid by one's attorney. This isn't odd or peculiar at all. It is also very common to classify settlements as legal expenses.

repubs have historically been the pro strong defense, pro war demographic. Dems have historically been the pro peace demographic. Weird shyt going on anymore

I think we've got some honest Repubs in the House and a bunch of Dems without the balls to be honest with their votes.

Russia's done it twice, under both Obama and Biden

We're about to see whether there are enough Dems in the House with the balls that Johnson had to get this passed. What's your guess Billsy

Ha, your wife would rather you be on this board! I get that

shouldn't you be with your wife instead of on this board then?

ye without sin.... is that you?

Good

Of course they came in 1st. Door was wide open

They had to come in before they could be removed.

My dad retired and shortly thereafter he got kinda board. He was good friends with the county clerk and she talked him into serving as a baliff; he works as much as he wants. He worked a number of trials, including a couple when the jury was sequestered. He had some whopper stories.

How 'bout a scotch and soda after practice?

Retail stores raising prices for various reasons, including their wholesale costs significantly increasing, supply chain disruption, wages significantly increasing (but not enough to allow the average citizen to keep up), smash and grab theft out of control, insurance costs increasing much faster than inflation due to smash and grab and peaceful protesting, etc.

Dems don't want us to believe what we see and feel when we're out purchasing

Yeah, until SC has to face another team with a 6'8" guy that's facing up against her current Kamilla Cordoso. Staley's opinion will change in a heartbeat. Both SC and Iowa were preparing for the championship game when this question came for both head coaches. When I first heard the question asked, all I could do is hang my head. One could argue that both HCs should have been ready for that question, but man, what a stupid ass question to ask a few days before the game. I believe Staley was asked before Bluder was. While Staley did the two-step before answering, and then acknowledging the response would create drama, which it did. Bluder was able to respond with a 'are you crazy, I'm not discussing that a few days before the championship game.'

I'm self reflecting

I haven't voted for either, you?

So we are all deplorables?

Bill nailed it with this one This could have gone under a number of OPs on this board

Didn't Biden contribute to the crisis with his pen? Can't Biden address a lot of the crisis with his pen? Does Biden want the crisis? This seems rather self imposed to me.

Saw 'em three times. They, The Allman Bros and Marshall Tucker. Dang good musicians!

Income tax is based on two basic factors, (1) taxable income and (2) tax rate. The tax rate is progressive, so as your taxable income increases, the rate increases. The entire US population is subject to the same tax rate table. You earn a billion dollars you are in, without any doubt whatsoever, the highest tax bracket and you'll pay a shytload of taxes. Now the term "billionaire" is normally associated with wealth, not income. But let's continue along this hypothetical conversation. You earn a billion dollars in year 01 and you pay a shytload of taxes in year 01. You put the net under your mattress. In year 02 you don't earn a wooden nickle. You're still a billionaire, but you're not paying any taxes. It is very possible for a billionaire to have a taxable loss in any given tax year. So, to answer your question, whether I think it's fair in any given year, or even in successive years? Of course. It makes complete and total sense to anyone that understands and can read through the media's attempts of playing gotcha.

You mentioned paying one's fair share just a couple of posts above.

My opinion, from reading your posts, is that your willing to give up most everything
