Fuck politics! Fuck the Government!
That's what divides us

Hey may have donated his salary in previous years (and allegedly plus a little extra to account for taxes taken), but he only did that for the first 2 quarters of 2020, there's no report that I can find that he donated the second half of that salary. So by my count there should be at least $200k taxable income for that year. He straight up lied to the IRS about this.

This is because we've allowed the plutocrats to shift the tax burden away from their businesses (after all they're "job creators, aren't they?) And themselves and onto the American middle class.
We've allowed them to tell their lies like, as long as the rich are doing good, it will trickle down to the rest of us.
I'm what's left of the American middle class. I pay my taxes, and in some cases, more than presidents, CEOs, and, most politicians. The American middle class dies with my generation, and yet, more people seem concerned with what pronouns other people prefer, than what happens when an economy built on consumption no longer has consumers who can afford to consume. | [

And themselves and onto the American middle class. \nWe've allowed them to tell their lies like, as long as the rich are doing good, it will trickle down to the rest of us. \nI'm what's left of the American middle class. I pay my taxes, and in some cases, more than presidents, CEOs, and, most politicians. The American middle class dies with my generation, and yet, more people seem concerned with what pronouns other people prefer, than what happens when an economy built on consumption no longer has consumers who can afford to consume.",

">\n\nI single with no kids so the taxman fucks me pretty good compared to everyone else. Apparently it costs twice as much for married people to keep a household as it does one person. Yup. Mortgage and rent is doubled, electricity doubled, internet doubled, everything. \nDon’t see Bernie or Warren or AOC arguing for the single childless taxpayer for some reason",

Unpopular opinion, but GMK Redacted is my favorite GMK set to date. The Mode Sonnet was an easy choice, with a silver top case and black accent to match the black ‘redacted’ line theme. A match made in keyboard heaven!

Whelan is a convicted criminal, convicted of felony theft in the Marines and dishonorably discharged. He has a track record of illegal scams and self enrichment schemes. He has lied about his work history, lied about college degrees he never had. He has traveled frequently to Moscow and operated in the corrupt business environment there. He has bragged of doing business with Russia's FSB (US FBI equivalent). He was caught at Moscow airport with $80,000 in cash, obviously for bribes. Money was at first confiscated and then returned to him so police could track who he was going to pay off with $80k. He was arrested by an FSB officer who Whelan iisted as is friend and contact.
Whelan would have received the same jail time for the same crimes in US.
US owes nothing to this convicted crook and con man. | [] |

Whelan disputes some of these details and I think it's significant that our government appears to be disputing them too and thinks there's a case to be made that he should be released.
US owes nothing to this convicted crook and con man.
In my opinion, our government has an obligation to help US citizens when it appears they are being unfairly incarcerated and/or treated badly in foreign prisons. You (and the US government) don't have to like Whelan - tons of conservatives certainly don't like Griner - but we should make sure we apply the standard fairly.

Who cares? We don't throw people's rights out the window just because they have a criminal past.

Seems pretty bad to pass judgment on someone like that before a trial.

The thing here is, typically we don’t hold like “nice” foreign prisoners in the USA. You know what I mean? Like, we don’t have like Sasha the bread lady locked away to swap. We’re going to have hardened/ serious criminals and besides, this isn’t a chess game, if we want our citizen back, we need to play by their rules and give them what they want.

Trump had the chance to free him a few years ago & didn’t. When Biden was offered the chance to get Griner out in the swap it was her or no one. Whelan wasn’t an option. His own family is being very transparent about the situation & non-attempt during the Trump administration.

"What is that numpad?"

Easier to catch speeders.
Most speed cameras take a picture of the vehicle and the license plate, not the driver. Cars don't get speeding tickets, people do. While there are SCOTUS precedents saying an officer may assume the registered owner of the car is driving for purposes of initiating a traffic stop to arrest a wanted person; you can't just give a ticket to the registered owner. You have to prove they were driving. This also leads to the loophole of vehicles being registered to companies instead of people.
Less speeding stops by cops means less police interaction
You paint this in a bad light. Many dangerous criminals are taken off the street as a result of a simple traffic stop for a minor infraction. This helps to fight human trafficking, sex trafficking, drug smuggling, etc.
If multiple people are street racing, or speeding as a group for some other reason, everyone gets caught
Everyone gets identified, but it doesn't immediately deter the dangerous activity. If a group of street racers are racing each other, they could crash their car into an innocent bystander, injure themselves or each other. In the moment, they aren't thinking about getting a ticket and likely don't care. Even if law enforcement doesn't catch all of them, they have still accomplished the goal of deterring the activity. | [] |
