Civics and economics are two subjects that aren’t treated with the rigor they should be in American high schools. Both subjects are usually taught by coaches as a placeholder to give them a faculty job so they can be on the coaching staff.
I’m reading this and thinking “this can’t be real”. How did we end up here? I really don’t get it.
Once I got in touch with someone they were helpful and professional. They’re just so understaffed you can’t speak to someone. The first three times I tried to call tye system message was basically “There is no more room in the queue. Please try again later. You will be disconnected now.” And I was.
Here’s the kicker. The IRS won’t accept mail with a return response. You can send it and track it but you can’t be sure anyone actually received it. That happened on one of my attempts to send it via mail. It was received the second time.
It’s dysfunctional now. I’ve been dealing with a problem with my 2018 return because of mistake by my preparer. I tried multiple times over a two year period to reach someone on the phone with no success. On my last attempt I got to a person after 1 hour 45 minutes on hold. I sent the requested documents in November 2024 and still haven’t received so much as an acknowledgement in the mail.
People that understand economics said that People who labor under the delusion that Republican administrations are better for the economy thought otherwise.
I threw my back out at 27 bending over to tie my shoe. It’s a magical age.
No. The answer is no. Yesterday Kristi Noem was in New Orleans and said, unironically, “We are a nation of laws”
He’s a terrible person.
I’m in Louisiana and Cassidy is toast. He’s not going to be reelected because of the impeachment vote. I was hoping he’d actually not cave but he’s towing the line for no reason. The whole thing is over in 4 years we’ll probably be a lawless wasteland with rampant corruption and disease.
Behind the Bastards did a great series on Lee. It’s definitely worth a listen.
I found an article that wasn’t paywalled. Pulled a pistol on police during a traffic stop and failed to lower his weapon when instructed. What an idiot.
The bad thing is we all reap what they sow.
I guess we’re about to find out
I don’t know what’s more intriguing- the lies or the fact that his base doesn’t notice it or doesn’t care.
I hate to tell you but it won’t. My in-laws fall into that category and I constantly watch them twist themselves into knots trying to justify this stuff. They would also rather do without insurance than watch someone “undeserving” get it for “free”.
Damn it really is a cult.
Everyone iny social circle and at work convinced themselves that he would fix things immediately. I can’t tell you how many times I heard “as soon as Trump gets in the economy will get better” or “he’ll fix it”. He’s a liar. A big reason we’re here is he didn’t get called out enough for being a liar.
I’m pretty sure the only thing he’s interested in is revenge and he doesn’t care who gets hurt on his path to achieving it.
I’m so sick of this timeline. I can’t believe this isn’t an Onion article.
Those of us in our mid-50s aren’t exactly happy either right now.
