Ed Kilgore has clearly lost his mind...

Two problems with your theory there, Eddie...
1. GWB steamrolled because he was still riding the sinking coattails of 9/11 that saw him be the most popular US President for the most extended period of time in modern history.
2. Democrats were crushed by the NeoCons because of 9/11. All of those NeoCons just walked across the aisle and announced to the world they were voting for Harris.
This trash that passes as journalism you have here is nothing but textbook false equivalency.
The kind that AI will be doing in your place soon.

1) There were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, but WMDs were Bush's justification for war.
2) The U.S. Army was torturing prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison. Iraqi civilians were being killed by the hundreds of thousands.
3) Osama bin Laden had not been captured, but his capture was Bush's justification for war in Afghanistan. Bin Laden was in Pakistan, the next country to the East of Afghanistan, where Obama would kill him on May 2, 2011.
4) Bush had not finished the last two years of his service in the Texas Air National Guard, avoiding service in Vietnam, but President Bush would go to enormous lengths to claim he had not gone AWOL, smearing everyone who said differently. Bush did not fulfill his obligations and should have been ordered to active duty in Vietnam.

Despite points 1, 2, 3, and 4, the worthless assholes who would become Trumptards voted for Bush.

Bush voted for Harris.
The rest of your post is an argument supporting my argument, so thank you.

Quote:The kind of people who are stupid assholes will not believe that Trump is a rapist, a conman, a convicted criminal, a relentless liar, a man who never paid all of his income taxes. That kind of disbeliever in what is obvious is also the kind who voted for both Bush and Trump.

(This is a metaphysical comment but people who are obviously stupid assholes do not know they are stupid assholes, which makes it impossible for these stupid assholes to know why life isn't as rewarding as they imagine deserving.)

Also ...
Since there was a historic, record-breaking discrepancy between exit polls and vote counts, and it only happened in swing states with electronic voting, and always in favor of Bush, statisticians said a chance result would be statistically impossible. They concluded that the RNC cheated, massively.

Quote:Don't assume that bc we worked on salary we did a half-assed job. Our agency won criminal and civil cases worth tens of millions of dollars against large corporations with teams of highly paid lawyers. My dad, who also worked on salary, did the same with tax law. My colleagues and I, if we weren't pro-environment, were extremely professional. We didn't believe in doing half-assed jobs.

Signym, you are not Erin Brockovich. Personal injury lawyers could do what your department would never attempt. But then the lawyers became fabulously wealthy, unlike employees in your department who get paid the same piddling amount whether they do a half-ass job or nothing about pollution.

SECOND:
Bringing this back around to the tax code, IRS employees make exactly the same piddling amount whether they do a half-ass job or nothing about tax cheating. Unsurprisingly, that is why tax cheating runs to a trillion dollars per year.
No, you're bringing this around to enforcement. Again.
If you think doing a good job is personally motivated by money, you're mistaken.
Organizationally, we were prevented from adding fines to our operating budget. By law.
And who wrote that law?
Business.
So, back to tax code.
Can I deduct food, housing, utilities, insurances, interest payments, and ancillary expenses off my income?
No.
Can I depreciate my home, car, and other assets from my income?
No.
Can I register a domicile in Panama, and declare my "profits" there?
No.
These are just three differences between individual and business taxes, and doesn't get into the thousands of loopholes that BUSINESS wedged into tax law.
If tax code wasn't so lopsided and complicated, it would be easier to enforce. As it is, you need a team of tax law experts and forensic auditors to handle any large business.
It's called regulatory capture.
And you still obviously don't know how the real world works.
Son.
Back on topic ...

On Wednesday, Donald Trump announced his intent to nominate Republican Congressman Matthew Gaetz to lead the Department of Justice. The congressman’s main experience with the DOJ comes from being investigated for the sex trafficking of a minor.

Trump has vowed revenge. Start the pardons, President Biden
To the editor: Harry Litman relies on the wisdom of grand juries, juries and judges in protecting the subjects of President-elect Donald Trump's enemies list. However, even unsuccessful prosecutions could bankrupt many innocent "defendants." ("Will Trump launch a reign of terror against his list of enemies? There’s little to stop him," Opinion, Nov. 7)
The easiest way to provide all of "Trump's perceived enemies" with legal (and financial) protection from frivolous prosecution would be for President Biden to compile an enormous list of people to pardon before he leaves office, including prosecutors, judges, journalists, pollsters and others.
Jack Smith, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Adam Schiff, Kamala Harris, additional members and witnesses of the House Jan. 6 Committee and many others come to mind.
This won't eliminate the threats to democracy, but at least it might provide protection for some people.

Just look up the criminal case the LA Environmental Crimes DA won over Home Depot, with our data. And go suck eggs. Moron.
