'This is so "unrelated" people can live together.'

It's obviously more than just that, since nothing was stopping unrelated people from living together before.

Ahh, I knew that this thread would attract the usual hypocritical bigots.

It's almost as if he a mole all along...

"What an asinine statement from a state governor! So, here's the deal: offload the fuel at the port of another state, NY, CT, RI etc. that doesn't have an ------- for a governor, then ship it via pipeline or marine vessel barges to wherever they please and it will be unknown where it originally came from. Political grandstanding at its finest!"

You need better talking points; this isn't even clever as trolling. The governor is simply informing both corporations and individuals in her state that they could be vulnerable to prosecution under federal law if they aid and abet in the violation of said law. As for other states, the ships cannot simply offload the fuel in any state without it being tracked. No governor is going to invite them to, either, because if they did then they could be prosecuted.

The bad news is that buttonless cars will soon be flooding the used car market.

He obviously still matters enough for people to start threads about him on the Retort.

You know she's underage, right? As long as you don't have a problem with that...

"Imagine what's going through Haley Stevens brain tonight...
Jumping sides the day before the largest blue wave in history!
Goodbye Political Career!"

I think she knew her political career was over before she even made the decision. I don't want to judge her, because it seems like there was something going on in her personal life that affected it.

This kind of reminds me of 1994, in reverse.

Ossoff called for holding his Georgia Senate seat.

There are over 50 countries that have Muslim majority populations, plus about nine more with mega-population Muslim minorities. Only a very small percentage (about 2%) of worldwide Muslims practice Wahhabism.

"The appropriate response to this is preferring agents of neither country to operate."

What country do you think Muslims come from?

"But in this case, the word traitor is appropriate. Rogers and Stevens work on behalf of Israel, not America. When seen through that lens, their "partnership" is not so puzzling after all, is it?"

99% of people who threw the T-word at her aren't even alluding to a supposed foreign connection. But go ahead and keep pushing the transparently anti-semitic conspiracy theories, outing yourself as a sleeper agent.

"Other than being Black . . . and a woman . . ."

And Asian. Funny how that always gets left out, even though it was probably the biggest factor against her that no one talks about.

A number of people (including myself) have pointed out that payroll taxes are in fact a federal tax on income, regardless of the accounting classification when people try to disingenuously claim that most of lower-income people pay no federal income taxes. You can't have it both ways.

Headline fail. Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Adam Kinzinger, John Kasich, John McCain and many others all had the "traitor" label thrown at them. It's stupid and eyerolling when either party reacts this way to dissent.

Attacking the supposed rationale for the dissent is one thing, but calling someone a "traitor" literally implies they've committed treason against something they were supposed to be unquestionably loyal to. It's nonsensical partisan rhetoric, although many partisans do take it seriously.

Seems entirely on brand for him.

"You get a letter explaining what happened, and a bill."

This would only occur in situations where the employer failed to withhold the payroll taxes from the employee. In either case, the employers are still on the hook for their portions of the payroll taxes, which only they are liable for. If the payroll taxes were withheld, then the employee is not responsible if the employers fail to file them.

This thread is the flip side of the other one(s) posted recently about how the bottom 50% supposedly pay zero taxes.

"What are you expecting that's different from what's being predicted?"

At this point, I'm not expecting anything either way based on the polling. And neither should you or anyone else.

This is why he always gets the WWE vote. It's not about the content; it's about the performance.

People should have learned their lessons about trusting polls after the last three elections, but they haven't.

"The left: Words.
The right: Actions."

*Whoosh!*

that's not accurate either, as "immigrant" means "legal immigrant".

Immigrant could technically cover either legal or illegal immigrants. The problem with the far left is they want to eat their cake and have it too, conflating the two groups together to help the illegals, while simultaneously whinging about legals being lumped in with illegals. Meanwhile, the far right is literally promoting the big government overreach that they warn about "liberals" wanting to enact.

A pox on all your houses.

Who does he think he is, the Dolly Llama in exile? LOL

"When (presumably) nominated to complete the Ice Bucket Challenge (which involves filming yourself having a bucket of ice tipped over you or pay a forfeit to charity), Stewart released a wordless video in which he wrote out a cheque, then took two ice cubes from a bucket, put them in a glass of whisky, and toasted the camera."

And now he's dead. I guess they were right about there being no safe threshold for alcohol.
