Praetorian Guard for our Emperor.
We are all getting one now from the school of hard knocks.I'm really wondering what kind of education people are getting anymore.
I'm glad I owe money this year. I can't image the clusterfuck that might arise with having to get a refund.Good question..
Should we even bother to file???
IRS cuts over 6,000 jobs in the middle of tax season
Yea, have a full year of payments from one annuity, and 2 months from another for the first time with SS payments. I did take out taxes from the annuities, but not sure if I have enough interest payments from my mortgage to get anything back or maybe even owe still, so I'm procrastinating about it now.I'm glad I owe money this year. I can't image the clusterfuck that might arise with having to get a refund.
But this definitely crossed my mind: why bother filing? The only motivation for now is to be able to do an IDR plan for my spouse's med school loans, once we have to start repaying them later this year.
As an aside, I think we should re-embrace civic virtue and the idea of having a duty to society. These are inherently good things in a liberal democracy that help bring us together. Like, I don't mind paying taxes, even for services I may not directly benefit from - that's part of living in society; or I have jury duty coming up - I'm not looking to get out of it. Community doesn't come by itself: we have to make it. And it's far more positive than being irony poisoned, FYGM, isolationist shitheads like the current crop in charge.
Make it part of the strike negotiations, withholding all taxes until after his removal.I think we shouldn’t file and put the money in a high yield savings account for four years and then pay if there is a peaceful transfer of power to the next president. We should all do this for the next four years.
What could possibly go wrong?Gets worse and worse
Trump expected to take control of USPS, fire postal board, Washington Post reports
Who could imagine that filling the government with people based on their loyalty to one guy might turn out not-so-great for people who aren't that one guy, or piss off that one guy some time  ̄\_(シ)_/ ̄What the Republicans don't get though is that once they turn Trump into a king, they might not get a say on who is next in line. It'll be much harder to remove power from the office once you place it above the other two branches.

Major American party actively choosing to go Nazi is certainly a dark timeline.Looks like something you'd see in a Doctor Who episode when the Daleks did something to shift earth to a dark timeline.
I’m shocked to learn how many conservatives have autism.Is there some kind of pattern? I do admit Bannon's is pretty half-assed here, but that could be for plausible deniability reasons.
And if he were anyone other than Bannon, I might entertain the notion. But given that it IS Bannon, yeah, I believe this was a calculated maneuver.
But a French far-right leader agreed. The ADL agreed.
