" I know it's not good, not Christ-like at all."

Just be sure to take your list with you when you're approaching any gates.

On Day One of the purge, Boaz will have the time of his life. He'll get to go out and shoot all the black and white people he wants. I'm sure my wife and I will be two of those victims; we're old, and easy targets.

On Day Two of the purge, Boaz will be fragged.

Because he has the same skin color as the enemy.

" and deport illegal migrants without an immigration hearing."

When did the migrant cease being a "person", according to the US Constitution?

Thanks for the explanation.

" It's strange that BitCoin is seen as an investment (given its volatility I suppose), as it was created as a form of currency."

That's why they referred to investments like that as "bigger fools" investments.

From the day you buy it, you're looking for a bigger fool to sell it to.

" Normally, this would be great news for exports, and foreign investment in the Untied States."

Instead, it's great news for folks who invest in China.

BTW, same thing happened in the first year of Trump's first term. I saw it coming: I saw who Trump was bringing in, and knew they were crooks, so I reasoned they were going to game the system and purposely weaken the dollar. So I immediately rebalanced my portfolio to favor non-dollar denominated investments.

My China fund was up 58.9% that year. This year, it's about half that much. I'll take it.

ER professionals have praised the show as the most realistic they've ever seen.

The premise is cool as well: each episode is one hour in the same day; the entire season takes place over 15 episodes/hours. They are clearly condensing a few things (the hospital administrator comes by every 15 minutes, it seems), but it's got some terrific writing and great acting. Noah Wiley won the Emmy, and the charge nurse won for best supporting actress.

They've obviously got lots of great technical advisors, but Wylie also hired a choreographer, to make sure everyone could get into their place smoothly, and make it look like they've been doing it for ten years.

It's on HBO Max, if you're looking for it. Highly recommended!

"LOL. You're a terrible liar."

You're a terrible fool.

Name any other assassination attempt where we never had any statements from the attending physicians.

"And just how do you think they came into existence?"

The Fairness Doctrine was repealed. Then the FCC relaxed rules on how many stations in the same market could be owned by one company.

That allowed Sinclair and others to buy up market after market, all without having to offer a differing point of view.

"What exactly do you think you "won", bucko?"

I said other assassins saw wall-to-wall coverage, yet nobody could name the guy from 14 months ago without looking it up.

Then you posted a blurb about him, and I noted you had to look up the name first.

If you don't see that as proving my point, you're dumber than I thought.

"So far Trump has lowered violent crime"

Not if you look like you might be foreign.

" United States ERs are experts in gunshot wound treatment, compared to the rest of the modern world."

Snoofy, have you seen The Pitt? It's set in an ER in Pittsburgh, and won the Emmy in its first year for best drama. Noah Wylie is the lead, as well as executive producer. It's terrific.

I don't recall which digital currency, but I remember reading one report saying of the over 1 million investors ...

15 had made money.

I also make it a habit to follow up on every Tax client of mine who has digital currency: up or down?

Only one of my clients has ever said up. And then, he followed it quickly with, "But I got out a long time ago".

" Victims were typically instructed by phone or text to deposit cash and transmit cryptocurrency to external digital wallets."

When Bitcoin started getting a bit of press, my grand-nephew (~19 at the time), a bit puzzled, asked me, Like, what do they make, Uncle Dan?

My answer: "Bigger Fools".

Obviously, I don't fully understand Blockchain, but looking at these results makes me feel like this is a six-player poker game, with the other five people in a room somewhere, showing their cards to each other.

" When it was being sold to the public before it passed is what I recall, although that was almost 16 years ago."

Well, nobody ever said it. It was never true. Subsidies were subsidies from day one. THAT WAS PART OF THE POINT, literally the first "A".

Clearly, your recall sucks.

Again, did you make this up? Or did you hear this from someone else? If someone else, who?

" I don't believe you."

That's okay; you've got a long habit of believing what's false, and denying what's true. You don't have to believe me for it to be true.

One was a wonderful actor who was the first person outside of NYC to play Barry in Talk Radio. She's now Samantha, one of the leaders of the trans movement in Detroit. Another was a lighting designer, who, as a male, had a girlfriend he would lead around via a dog collar and chain. Turns out he wasn't very happy about it either. Now, she is embracing life like never before. Another was a guy who lived above my girlfriend and I in a six-plex: very effeminate when we moved in, had long hair in curls AND BREASTS by the time we moved out. She LOVES being a girl. Should I go on?

I also know three others after transition. But I didn't know them before, so I didn't mention them. Two of them are my tax clients.

You know I've worked in the arts for 40 years, right?

Now find my question: who told you there were no subsidies? And answer it.

"Prosecuting Medicaid fraud is lawfare?"

Claiming it's more than half, without providing any evidence, other than "at first glance ... " isn't something LE is supposed to do until they've got actual evidence.

Before I answer any of the questions, please answer mine. You seem to be avoiding the difficult ones on purpose.

From the FBI's website:

The FBI is also responsible for specific terrorism-related offenses, such as violence at airports, money laundering, attacks on U.S. officials, and others.

(emphasis mine)

" I don't accuse the FBI of violating its own rules."

In that case, the only people the FBI were calling terrorists, were terrorists.

Why do you have such a problem with that?

" Biden administration loudly announced it was bringing in the FBI, IMO that was an attempt at intimidation"

You're joking, right?!?

You just defended the folks you admit were terrorists, and are pearl-clutching because Biden was too rough on them.

Careful you don't drown carrying all that fetid water.

" Well first off it was a local law enforcement issue"

Not once the terroristic threats started.

" ... unless your argument is that each and every death threat issued anywhere in the country is investigated by the FBI."

That's stupid; of course not. It would have to be against a public official, and meant to have them reverse course or policy due to fear.

You know: terrorism, by definition.

" ... subsidies, that we were told weren't needed when the bill passed"

You were TOLD?!?

Told by whom?

" I'm curious how much has changed since the article was written in 2002"

You could certainly double that 5X number.

" Plenty of parents got loud but did not issue threats. "

And if you can find one of those that the FBI labeled a terrorist, I'll agree with you. But you can't. And you won't.

So now you're deflecting to VOLUME. Nobody got labeled a terrorist for volume. You saw the requirements: threatening injury, violence, or death. All of the folks labeled terrorists did so.

Basically, at this point, your only defense is pretending that the FBI violated their own rules and were designating people terrorists willy-nilly.

It's patently untrue. How is that not a lie?

" ... subsidies, that we were told weren't needed when the bill passed"

ABSOLUTELY FALSE. Subsidies were there from day one. I know , because in my earliest training bore their tagline: You must file, to reconcile, meaning folks would either pay back a little bit of the subsidy, if they made more than they had predicted on healthcare.gov, or get a little more subsidy if they made less than they had predicted.

Are you lying because you're ignorant, or are you simply speaking out of turn on something you don't know about?

" ... and that have a sunset provision written into law by Democrats?"

You know what else was written to sunset? Trump's tax giveaways, which cost multiple times what the subsidies cost.

But Republicans had no problem extending those, did they? They chose exactly what they chose.

Stop pretending like this isn't what Republicans wanted. This is TrumpCare! Be proud of what you've enabled.
