  1. As usual, the number doesn't count the 'statistically employed' - people who've been out of work for long and have given up looking for work as a result

    As it never has. So you're interested in comparing apples to oranges now?

    And yes, given the general trend of BC there will be more losses than gains reported, and the IRS will end up refunding more than it collects.

    Not likely. First, if they can see buys and sells, they can just audit those that look like profits. Second, if anyone bought/sold for a loss and didn't claim a loss, they are fools.

    If I had a harem, pants would be the furthest thing from my mind. Were I to design pants to be worn in a harem, they would be crotchless.

    You win the Internet today.

  4. obviously nefarious sites such as Islamist or anti-feminist ;p

    This is particularly ironic when the major groups today that advocate genocide (of one group or another) are Islamists, neo-Nazis, and feminists.

    Dumbass. Feminists do NOT advocate any kind of genocide.

  5. Keeping cash on hand is never a bad idea. I never let the cash stash go below $2000. It's well-secured, of course, but it's a nice buffer against shitty weather.

    Can you please turn on location services so I can locate that stash of yours?

    Or maybe they had nothing too lose and voting for trump was more of a f u to the rest of the nation http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...?

    Nothing to lose? How about their Medicare? If Obamacare is repealed, the Medicare expansion dies and all those red states populated with lots of new Medicare patients are fucked. See Kentucky, for example.

    Strictly speaking, that isn't true. They fund stuff off the books so it doesn't look like they are running a large deficit.

    That, too. But when Bush the Stupid got in office, they pushed through huge tax cuts under the claim that deficits didn't matter. As soon as Obama got in, they started screaming about deficits (that they created by the huge tax cuts).

  8. This is just starting some per-emptive whining because Trump has mentioned that he's going to make Apple manufacture in the USA.

    I'm not sure how he thinks he can legally do that. A better solution would to to make Apple pay its taxes.

    Except that Trump wants to give ex-patriated money a "tax holiday" to bring it home. Yeah, that'll help the deficit the Republicans cry about when Democrats are in office, but insist doesn't matter when Republicans are in office.

    At least they've set a precedent now, so if any judges die/retire after Jan 2020... they're gonna have a tough time arguing that one.

    No they won't. Have you ever paid attention to the Republican party? For example, they love deficits when they are in power and hate them when Dems are in power.

    At least 3 million voted in CA alone. To say nothing of the dead vote.

    Citation badly needed.

  12. No I'm not being disingenuous, you are. There is a similar name, so fucking what. Both organizations are independent and having nothing to do with each other. You are being ridiculous. Ku Klux Klan has NO other meaning. La Raza has many other meanings. Check out Wikipedia - the disambiguation page has tons of entries. How many are there for Ku Klux Klan? Also, stop moving the goalposts. You said "Can you please cite this. If so, then fine."

    People like you excuse everything Trump has done - and he has done an awful lot; most of it on fucking videotape.

    Re-read my post. There are no illegal alien VOTES. They cannot vote. They did not vote. Any claim to the contrary is just right-wing delerium. First case of voter fraud this year was a woman who tried to vote Trump twice.

    The judge had NO ties to a Hispanic supremist [sic] group. The La Raza he belonged to was a federation of hispanic judges. But keep listening to Fox News, since they reinforce your worldview.

  17. yeah, cause "hope and change" was so clear?

    False equivalence. Obama always stated his policies and they were consistent. Trump is nothing but soundbites and he denies what he is on tape saying the day before.

  18. A coworker who was alive and paying attention 36 years ago said, "See, this is just like when Reagan was elected. He was behind in the polls, won a landslide, the market dropped overnight and came roaring back the next day."

    He totally forgot to mention the severe recession in 1981-82...

    Did he also forget to mention that Trump didn't win in a landslide? Clinton won the popular vote for fuck's sake. The Republicans are all "mandate!" after 8 years of fighting a president who won twice by margins that well exceeded Cheeto Jesus'.

  19. You mean hillbillies like Peter Thiel? The only person sounding like a dumb fuck right now is you.

    No, he doesn't. Peter Thiel won't be one of the people in unemployment lines blaming the results of Trump's trade war on Obama.

  20. Holy smokes you've smoked WAY too much Trump crack.

  21. And how much idling in the US would you like to see. A trade war rarely has winners. If Trump wants to play economic protectionist, he will damage key sectors of the US economy

    And he gives ZERO fucks. He will do it if such an action pleases him.

  22. That depends. I've gotten the response "There were BCCs on this email. Are you sure you want to reply all?"

  23. Trump is like an emetic for the American republic.

    I think you 're confusing an emetic with what an emetic causes.

    When the woman consents, maybe?

    Trump was talking about how he was famous enough that women would let him "grab them by the pussy" (as he put it), not that he runs up and grabs random women. He was bragging about how attractive women found him and what they'd let him do.

    I find it amazing how "outraged" people pretend to be about Trump saying the word "pussy" but how they flat-out don't care about a serial-rapist ex-president whose wife, as a defense attorney, helped get a rapist off by attacking the character of his victim.

    But go ahead, go continue to pretend to be outraged about Trump saying "pussy" while refusing to acknowledge the victims of the Clintons.

    You fail to recognize what it's really about. No one is outraged that he used the word pussy.Trump bragged that he can treat women however he wants because he is a star. He's trying to become president (an even BIGGER star), so imagine what he thinks he can do to women then. PS - Bill Clinton is not running for president and Hillary has forced to take the rapist case (public defender) and did her fucking job. And the rapist did NOT get off.

  25. Well if you cant blame a generation for their policies that were instituted while they could vote and the next generation could not, then who else? You can blame the uber rich politicians creating those tax cuts but who voted for them time and again? Who allowed them to continue to do the tax cuts while saying nothing?

    With that indisputable logic, the millenials should have fixed it all by now!
