    Isn't that what you're doing between ICE and the FBI -- picking and choosing your governmental bogeymen?

    Baseballcrank should stick to baseball, am I right, folks? I mean he's sitting there tweeting--bing,bing,bing,bing, and I'm like this guy again?National Review is a failing publication that has lost it’s way. It’s circulation is way down with its influence being at an all time low. Sad!

    No. It just plays dumb and rakes in the contributions from the NRA when another school shooting occurs.

    That's just dumb. We're not sneering at their budgets. We're sneering at Paul Ryan touting $1.50 a week as some kind of symbol of Republican munificence.

    I remain completely fascinated by how much traction these sorts of false equivalences gain with the dumbshit crowd.


    All you have to do is commit horrible acts while simultaneously falsely accusing others of the same and you can squiggle away with people convincing themselves it’s a matter of equivalent sides.

    I mean, is it actually news that increases in take-home pay for people of low and modest incomes are going to be small (in an absolute sense)?

    As re: taxes ... DaughterQuant's time doing some administrative scut work this past summer led to a 1099 arriving in the mail on Friday. At that firm, they treat pretty much everybody as a contractor -- they shouldn't, but they do -- so DaughterQuant had no withholding of any sort. She won't owe any income tax, but she'll get popped 15.3% for self-employment tax, which means she's going to have to fork over a check to the feds! Wait'll I tell her it'll be going, for the most part, right into some retiree's SS draw. #conservativeinthemaking
