That’s not how taxes and charity works.
If you spend $100 minutes on charity and “write it off”, that saves you $30 on taxes. You’re still down $70.
(You only can claim itemized deductions if you have more than, roughly $12k of them, 24k if you’re married.)
Rights? Have you been paying attention?
They’re blatantly and regularly violating the first, second, fourth, and fifth amendments whenever they feel like it.
They’re absolutely going to have ICE around harassing anyone they think might vote blue, particularly people of color.
It’s not that it’s a new concept. It’s that boys definitely are referred to as “males”. In years past it was probably more common than hearing “females”, though recent trends (incels) have likely changed that. It’s a nitpick that stuck out to me also, but it’s a small point from a more important larger point being made by a 15 year old. Maybe someone should have caught that in editing, but it shouldn’t be a big deal. And we can afford to give the kid that much leeway.
Sure, that’s off.
She’s 15. Take the value out of the article.
charging Dingus with voyeurism
Ohio Revised Code Section 2907.08 | Voyeurism
(A) No person, for the purpose of sexually arousing or gratifying the person’s self, shall commit trespass or otherwise surreptitiously invade the privacy of another, to spy or eavesdrop upon another.
(2) A violation of division (A) of this section is a misdemeanor of the third degree.
I’d expect there needs to be actual damages first. So you have to say no and then get fired, and then you have a case.
Though if it’s heading that way, a lawyer may want to help you prep to seal the case as it’s being made.
World News?
What’s the real purpose here? It’s not drugs.
Subservience to the FCC and the administration is the excuse. The real reason is that David Ellison is afraid the dem might win.
The majority owner of CBS is Paramount Global, which itself is controlled by Skydance Media, a company led by David Ellison (son of Larry Ellison), following a significant acquisition of the Redstone family’s stake in mid-2025.
Either that or it’s exactly what it says on the tin. I wonder which is more likely.
Thank you. I was just thinking that someone needs to grab this, and it was going to be a pita if I had to be the one to do it.
(More copies are always welcome.)
And it’s a hell of a brave thing Colbert and crew are doing in speaking out.
They’re patriots at a time when speech isn’t free.
Complicit
More likely the prosecutor just didn’t show any evidence. The prosecutor has so much influence over whether there is or isn’t an indictment.
They use PLA in several tea bags and coffee filters now.
… of course I research and avoid those. I’m not super paranoid about plastic, but boiling it and drinking it seems insane.
America is doing terrible things at home and abroad, but that isn’t enough for the tankies. They need us to have always been like this.
We haven’t. This is the first time we’ve had a president that wasn’t at least trying to do the right thing by his people, no matter how misguided.
I think even Reagan fully bought into the trickle down bullshit and thought he was doing the right thing for America and Americans by paving the way for corporate oligarchy.
I think W (from his perspective at the time) justified our invasion of Iraq with both liberating the people and reducing our reliance on Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The orange tyrant doesn’t give that much of a fuck. He doesn’t need to have anything sold to him other than his own name.
It’s funny. We’re awash in terrible things happening in and from America, but that isn’t enough for the tankies. It’s almost like they have an agenda.
Eh, that was a different, tangential thing. This arc started in 2015 when Russia figured out how to manipulate social media while absolutely no one was guarding against it.
the agencies responsible for CSAM — are corrupt to their core
No. They mostly do good work. I don’t believe the people going to the island were generally passing around large amounts of CSAM sourced publicly, like forums or Reddit.
I’m so tired of people just taking the vibes they want from words and ignoring the meaning of full sentences. It’s a form of illiteracy.
I get that we’re angry.
But why when they’re clearly doing what they want anyway.
More likely they just got hit.
