I have said this before, but it's weird when you realize that what you thought was rock bottom was actually somewhere around rock middle

A majority of Florida voters chose access to abortion and legalized cannabis while also voting for the candidates that took away access to abortion and criminalized cannabis.

The very definition of voting against your own interests

@ZachFOCO @ChrisCillizza McCain was also trying to split the difference between appealing to his party's base while fleeing an unpopular incumbent within his own party.

Romney's personal charisma and vibes are roughly John Kerry's, and both were running against incumbents.

@davidmscully @EpochTimes If it's inherited, *you* weren't the one who worked for it. That's not putting words in your mouth, it's knowing what "estate" means.

@IggyBeeBop @troy_senik Harding arranged for oil reserves held by the US Navy to be given to his secretary of the interior, who was subsequently convicted of bribery for the way he gave it to an oil buddy. If it wasn't Harding's intention to enable this, why even do it?

@davidmscully @EpochTimes Interestingly, if someone became a millionaire from working, they'd already be paying taxes. It's only the silver spoons you want to exempt.

[Silent Snerk @SilentSnerk]

@davidmscully @EpochTimes The death isn't the transaction, the transfer is. If money goes from person A to person B, it's taxed. You are not your parents.

If you're worried about people being overtaxed, it's worrying your first priority for tax relief is millionaire heirs & not, you know, working people.

@_heytherebenji Only part of? I'd have bet about 90%-- the other 10% mostly being black churches serving specific immigrant diasporas. Is there another reason I'm missing?

[Silent Snerk @SilentSnerk]

@IggyBeeBop @troy_senik Harding was just as crooked and philandering but only fucking consenting adult volunteers, which is better than we can say for some people.

[Silent Snerk @SilentSnerk]

@davidmscully @EpochTimes Estate tax also isn't 100%.

My point is that your question is nonsense. It's not the asset being taxed, it's the *transfer* of the asset. If I hire someone to redo my porch, & pay him out of my taxed income, he still has to pay taxes on the money I paid him, right?

@dauphinb @cmclymer Also possible that she's just tweaked out on drugs and hiding her pupils. My understanding is that that family loves their uppers, and it would explain some of the apparent recent weight loss.

@TylerHuckabee Frasier Crane is a solid Dem-- people are blending him too much with the Republican actor who plays him.

I could buy Lucy Ricardo going Trumper first. Depends if she bought his "anti-communism" schtick or thought accepting the KGB agent currently invading Ukraine was communist.

[Silent Snerk @SilentSnerk]

@ChrisCillizza It's chicken shit but less important in his particular election. MD isn't in play anyway-- if he's miffed about his options, refusing to vote for either has no actual effect.

[Silent Snerk @SilentSnerk]

@davidmscully @EpochTimes It's not the dead person paying taxes tho. It's the person who inherited the money. Money is taxes every time it changes hands-- sales taxes, income taxes, whatever. Why should a person who works for a living pay taxes on every bit of it, & some silver spoon millionaire pay nada?

[Silent Snerk @SilentSnerk]

@englishhurler @fietser_ian @acabylonbee Yeah, the fact that a guy could look like that *and* get around like he did, frequently with women who were also married, and generally for affairs lasting years at a time suggests it was more than charisma. He was probably actually good at it.

[Silent Snerk @SilentSnerk]

@Norfolkrules @mEz_the_keeper @fietser_ian @acabylonbee Having a big dick and knowing how to use it are separate things.

[Silent Snerk @SilentSnerk]

@acabylonbee Donny can't even give it away for free, he has to buy it.

@ask_aubry Given Trump's history of spousal abuse (see Ivana's account), I'm sadly finding it more likely this is either to cover an injury or hide that she'd been crying, especially with the thick arms on those sunglasses. She looks like a welder.
