"So crypto is supposed to be a completely unregulated alternative to federal banks, but he wants his crypto to be treated like a federal bank, but not regulated like a federal bank."

Yep.

With investment "money" based on the Bigger Fool theory.

What could possibly go wrong???

"GOP senator:..."

Cassidy was an Always-Trumper every time a vote came up. Now that he's been primaried for not participating in the central lies...

..he can "speak his mind".

IOW, he's a full-fledged coward, who was afraid to come forward when it actually mattered.

Effffff him.

"...here in Germany, there are civil infractions that will get me booted out of the country."

Based on the accusation alone? Or are you afforded some form of Due Process?

"She literally did."

Then you're watching doctored video.

Frame-by-frame proves she was moving AWAY from the cop when the shots were fired. It also proves the officer violated multiple protocols, including firing at a car moving away from him, and firing when there were innocents downrange.

" My guess is that, in the US, you have a significant bloc of the population that is open to allowing illegal immigration."

Yeah.

They're called hirers.

"I don't know of any country in the world you can enter illegally but get to stay once you enter."

And do those countries simply send you home, or do they send you to a third-world hellhole?

Tangential question: do you get a legal hearing first, or is an accusation enough, like it is in the USA?

A losing proposition that'll cost us over a trillion dollars, when all is said and done?!?

THAT's a WIN!

...if you use Republican Math!

"Spread: Talarico +0.6"

A spread that small will come down to who's counting the ballots.

" Without turning a calculator on. I'm guessing I'd be around 13-15 years before I realize a gain on panels that will be slowing considerably"

Two things: a lot of folks, myself included, have been in the same home for decades. A recovery period of 15 years would've occurred over a dozen years ago. And that assumes no rise and rates. With rising rates, probably 15 years ago.

And since rates usually keep going up, that ameliorates the lost value of the panels slowing.

" Also all those policies, SS, Medicare are the reason the debt is so colossal."

Nonsense. The debt is colossal because the folks entrusted to protect the funds raided them.

It can also be tied back to tax cuts while running deficit budgets, which ALWAYS represent 100% NEW borrowing.

SS, meanwhile, has been a cash cow for the government: usable payroll taxes now, compared to SS payouts a quarter century in the future. If anybody doesn't believe me, I'll happily borrow money from them at 2% for 25 years!

" Facts and truth doesn't work on Democrat brains, you have to use 'feels'."

What a riot. Republicans have to tell four lies just to get in the door:

Trump actually won in 2020.
J6ers are patriots.
Foreigners pay tariffs.
Rx prices can drop more than 100%.

Even the "news" outlets you frequent won't tell you the truth.

"...that time that Adolf H. added 'Socialist' to the name of his Party"

To fool the gullible. Once in power, the regime either jailed or executed the leading Socialists.

And they governed exactly (checks notes...) ZERO times as Socialists, and 100% of the time as a fascist dictatorship.

"Trump Family Gains $2.3 Billion in Crypto While Investors Lose $2.3 Billion"

That's the way electronic currency is supposed to work.

You're basically playing poker with five other people, all showing each other their hands.

Remember how Republicans lost their schitttt when they thought HRC made $100,000? Seems quaint nowadays, doesn't it?

Remember how few Republicans objected when the amounts were magnitudes larger, but the letter after the name different?

Republicans want you to be OUTRAGED at Hunter Biden getting a million bucks, while SILENT when Jared gets two billion bucks.

"There is no free money in solar panels"

I think you're confusing "free" with "eventually pays for itself".

It's like triple-paned windows for new homeowners in their forever home: the cost will be more than made up in lower energy bills over time.

Not free, but in the long equation ... better than free.

" If they weren't guilty, they wouldn't need a pardon."

Fake charges cost six figures to defend against.

Trump's DOJ is filing cases they know they can't win. That's LAWFARE.

And look at the moron, pretending it's free to the falsely accused.

" Shut up "

What a riot.

I'm not the one pretending Trump never said the words that came out of his mouth.

Trump promised what we now know is lawfare AFTER the election and BEFORE the Inauguration.

You look like an idiot, pretending that doesn't matter.

" Despite this high aggregate wealth, California faces severe wealth inequality"

Using the word "despite" proves you don't understand the underlying equation.

If you understood, you'd use something more like "Because of ... ".

And you can't name a single piece of lawfare committed against him. You can't name a single one of the roughly 90 indictments which you or I could do without fear of legal repercussions.

" Had Biden not preemptively pardoned every one of the people who had anything to do with the prosecution of these people, you may have an argument."

Had Trump not threatened them with lawfare AFTER he won reelection and before his re-inauguration, you might have a point.

However, James, Comey and Leticia James prove Trump was always about lawfare.

Meanwhile, Trump still has 34 felony convictions.

" California faces severe wealth inequality"

Which is EXACTLY what you get in the places with the most upside potential.

Don't look now, but it's ACTUAL MATH in action.

"It would be possible to print to PDF and make all the ballots you wanted I suspect."

And each of those ballots would have the same unique serial number, and the same hidden watermark in the .pdf.

Any match gets investigated. You realize that, don't you?

"Maybe not completely non taxable. But I bet with great deductions which makes it more profitable than before. Apparently."

About the only thing in their favor is "no tax on tips", but that a) doesn't apply to the owners, b) doesn't exempt anyone from payroll taxes, and c) doesn't apply on the state level.

The only reason the business is "currently more profitable" is they're not paying the required taxes. Frankly, they're getting horrible tax advice, and it's just going to cost them more in the long run.

That said, they're right: businesses would be more profitable if they didn't have to pay taxes. Duh.

" the ballot I downloaded."

Two quick questions:

What state allows downloaded ballots?

Was your name and other info pre-printed?

"It's crooked as hell."

Based on evidence you have, or based on a talking point you decided to regurgitate?
