That is technically correct, but immaterial from a practical standpoint. The party affiliation is per calendar year - when you vote in one party’s primary you are “registered” as that party for a year, so you can’t vote in the other parties’ primaries. So the primaries are nominally open unlike states with party affiliation on the registration, but practically there’s no difference from closed primaries.

When I lived in Texas I registered as a Republican so I could vote in the primary.

Stay strapped or get clapped?

I’m more concerned about the “barn out”

The only difference is how brazen they’re being about it. Previous administrations have given the CIA a long leash in Latin America and relied on black bag operations there. Not this out in the open, daring the world to do something about it, kind of thing trump is doing

Not divine nonchalance?

Looks like triscuit

Get a water softener? Or use extra soap, or add some oxiclean to the tub

Parents?

You’ll never convince zionists of that though

Yes, I’m aware. I just like making jokes online

Even after the rib thing??

Billionaires don’t have that much in cash, it’s (mostly and usually) unrealized gains from ownership of stock, which they use as collateral for loans. If you wanted to tax the “assets” of billionaires, you would have to tax unrealized gains on stocks, which would absolutely fuck every person with an investment account, IRA, 401k, 403b, etc. Or you would have to tax loans, which would fuck anyone with a mortgage, or a car, or … you get the point.

It’s not as easy as “tax the billionaires”

Edit to add: as far as the lotto goes, if you take the cash option you only get half the jackpot. And then 35-ish percent goes to the IRS under the “gift” tax (iirc). If you take the “equal payments over 20 years” option, you get the full jackpot split over 20 years but pay the 35% each year and also lose out on 20 years of investment growth. So even though you only end up getting like 40% of the jackpot with the cash option, you come out ahead over the long run

Yeah, same. He really seems like a genuine space fan

There’s a place in Texas, outside San Antonio, where you can drive and shoot old tanks

As I understand it, the guy did the best he could under the restrictions imposed on him by Boeing and Lockmart (no R&D budget, expensive fully disposable new rocket, etc)
