@kirchenthomas1@nilram940@thetrenchgawd@robertgraham lmfao yes the "famously functional congress who constantly reforms the tax code to make sure the wealthy pay their fair share and never give the wealthy massive tax loopholes like the one we are discussing"
rofl do you read what you write, or think about it first
@kirchenthomas1@nilram940@thetrenchgawd@robertgraham it is tax avoidance and tax evasion. It was something the tax code never accounted for.
Effectively gets away with borrowing *massive* sums of money, through a loophole, and avoid taxes altogether.
The market doesnt crash anymore, and the lenders dont default 🙃 rules for thee
@Masked_Macc@retirenow59@HunterBiden i love that the outrage is that it was spread out over various transactions across multiple years for actual pieces of artwork
guys got no problem with fraud and government corruption as long as its massive, and at scale, through a pretend corporate structure 🤣
WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)
@kirchenthomas1@nilram940@thetrenchgawd@robertgraham not at all. The post likewise falsely concludes, without evidence, that they sometimes "sells shares to pay down the balance" and then it becomes taxable.
Even if true, its still tax evasion, because the loan can be paid with itself, and then paid off with a smaller stock sale.
@SHollywoodN@Pps831@robertgraham ...which is taxed at a far, far lower rate than income.
and, by the way, the loan against assets is used to pay the interest on the loan itself.
this post by @robertgraham is either willful stupidity or deliberate lies. this is common practice by wealthy.
@DukeMasters@mark_slapinski@axios theres two possibilities to this:
leak by israel to make trump appear weak
leak by trump to show hes being tough on israel
either options benefit both, because America cant do shit to israel
New statement from Scott Pelley:
“Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.
For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.
At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.”
@NateSilver538 I mean, over 10% of America lives in California, lol. It's not ideal, but "weeks" is a bit of a stretch, especially when thats due to closely contested elections, demanded recounts, etc.
It's normal.
@Timrolandm35n@NHKathySullivan@Granger4NH You are literally, under oath, in front of a government officer, that what you are saying is true. a lie be perjury. that record is maintained by the clerk

The HB was an unlawful interference, which the judge found
