$14K is how much my solar array and battery backup cost after rebates. And it doesn't require any fuel. For those members on here living in sunny Texas that would seem like the optimum solution.

This comment thread does have a WWF feel to it...does it not?

"Also in your response to Red Leg, "I see that you’ve run out of ideas and have moved on to the ad hominem. I'll take that as a win. If any of you can ever form an actual counterargument, I'd be glad to hear it." Literally Seconds later you reply "OK boomer" to another member." You expect me to...

Trump learned of the leak because it was all over the news media. There is no notification requirement contained within the law. Trump knew of the disclosure when it was leaked, and he knew of it when the contractor was indicted, and when the contractor pled guilty. So did Ken Griffin, that's...

I did read his screed. And it doesn't change what the law actually says. I've posted the relevant statue multiple times. So go read it for yourself.

"which resulted in damages..."...What were the damages again? "who cares how many previous tax leak cases resulted in a judicial award of a million or more? He's merely pointing out that your claim that Trump could have won a $10 Billion settlement is preposterous.

That's my point. We can't trust anything the Trump administration says...anymore than we can trust the Iranian's. They're all a bunch of liars. Especially after all the lies the Bush administration told us. Considering all the blood and treasure we lost in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And this is merely your opinion. Devoid of facts as usual.

The conflict of interest is one of several problems with this case. Which is why Trump directed his own DOJ and IRS to settle with him. 1. The judge even said that she didn't think the parties were true adversaries in this case, 2. Trump missed the 2 year statue of limitations, as required by...

Did you even take the time to read US law? Especially the one I posted for you? https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/7431 LIttlejohn was indicted in September of 2023, and pled guilty in October of 2023, Trump knew of the disclosure years prior when it was released to the public. That's...

They did settle, because Trump was in charge of both sides of this case. Here's a good article that mentioned how Trump admitted as much last October. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/05/18/trump-will-end-10-billion-lawsuit-against-irs-over-leaked-tax-records/

"when Trump and the DOJ jointly agreed to drop the case."...Once again, Trump is in charge of the DOJ. You're right, it was a civil lawsuit in which the two "parties" came to an agreement, one that did not have to be approved or blessed by a judge. Thank you for proving my point and admitting...

Ok boomer.

I see that you’ve run out of ideas and have moved on to the ad hominem. I'll take that as a win. If any of you can ever form an actual counterargument, I'd be glad to hear it.

I never said there wasn't a difference between the two. I said what's the difference if a US citizen loses their job to an illegal immigrant or a legal immigrant? You still lost your job all the same. Less jobs will be lost by illegals since they mostly pick fruit/veggies in the fields, rather...

Now if only Senator Rick Scott would be sentenced for his multi-billion dollar medicare fraud scheme.

"Says the guy who tried to argue Reagan was traitor for selling weapons to Iran" ...You were the ones saying "we have been at war with Iran for 47 years" were you not? If that statement is true, and not complete nonsense, then when Reagan, a sitting US president, sold weapons to a country we...

You can't even see past your own delusions. Trump told his own IRS appointees to settle his case with him because he knew that a judge and a jury wouldn't look too favorably on this nonsense. Go read one of the statues that he was suing under: 26 U.S. Code § 7431. Last time I checked Charles...

"If you think Trump is on both sides of this case, you clearly don’t understand how our three branches of government work. Are you truly as uninformed as your posts would indicate, or are you just trying to stir the pot?" Hey @WAB remind me again what branch of government Trump is in charge of...

"I suspect there are a lot of good republicans who will simply be busy doing something else" Perhaps their ethics will prevent them from voting for a degenerate like Ken Paxton.

The IRS was never going to have to pay Trump $10 billion dollars. You'd have to be high on meth to think that. No jury, even a south Florida one, was going to award that, and it's equally as likely he would have lost the suit. "the IRS is settling the case because they don't want the issue to...

Considering Trump is both the plaintiff and defendant in this case its no wonder that the settlement is vary favorable to him. You don't think that using federal law enforcement resources is appropriate to locate stolen property from a family member of a sitting president?

In some places words are assault, and physical contact is called battery.

Well let’s review your ignorance. STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. In your prior post you said Engineering degrees, not STEM degrees. They are two different things. Talk about moving the goalposts. Between 3-7% of college athletes pursue Engineering degrees. Internet says less...

I recall Obama ending GWB and the Republican Neo-cons unnecessary war or choice in Iraq. And I do recall Biden ending GWB and the Republican Neo-cons forever war in Afghanistan. I wouldn't list either of them as pro-war. If Biden was pro-war he would have committed more munitions to Ukraine and...

But not against America. NK hasn't been attacking us, other people yes, us, no. I guess being totally irradiated by the most powerful military on Earth has that affect..No? "what if they put a dirty bomb in a cargo hold of a tanker and sailed it in a US port" Well since they've had radiological...

You can have economic growth while running deficits, but one day the music will eventually stop. It is A solution, but not a solution that works forever. Besides, if this is the temporary solution that we're going with, then why is everyone on the right bitching about inflation during the Biden...

Yes, but @deewayne2003 post was about the legal H1 immigrants and how businesses use them to replace American workers. I'm asking what's the difference? Whether they be legal or illegal, in many instances they are still replacing some America worker's job are they not? At least when it comes to...

Sorry, I was referring to tax rates and not interest rates. ...So your position is maybe if America stopped getting itself involved in endless wars (and associated military industrial complex spending) we wouldn't be in the poor financial position we are in today?...Welcome to the modern day...

But that's my point, the day of reckoning is coming, but since many of these republican baby-boomers wont be here to see it, they don't seem to care. But then they'll claim that they're scared of Iran getting the bomb? Iran didn't pose a treat to us. Israel...yes, USA...no. So they'll go to war...

I fully agree with you that shitty students usually come from shitty parents. And that shitty parents are one of, if not the most influential factor in poor education outcomes in United States of America. But, when's the last time you ever saw a politician, Republican, Democrat, or otherwise...

Perhaps if Nixon and Reagan's war on drugs didn't throw all those black fathers in jail for minor offenses they would be at home with their families? Go look up Nixon's comments about "Hippies and Negro's." In NC only 21% of those in prison are there for crimes against people. 25% for crimes...

Ah yes, please do elaborate on the evils of Talarico.

Considering that very few college athletes graduate with an engineering degree, I don't think it'll be a problem.

My fellow UCF graduates made me proud that day.

And I'm sure terrible republican trade deals, shareholder value theory, and republican led de-regulation had absolutely nothing to do with the urban decay and the creation of the rust belt. Must have been one too many rainstorms? :unsure:

Correct, but which is worse? Workers replaced at republican controlled big businesses to save a buck and enact shareholder value theory, or workers replaced because of bleeding-heart hippie liberals? If it's up to me I'd rather have them picking my strawberries vs. taking my engineering job.

I mean it was in my county.

Sure economic growth was a part of it. But even inflation and economic growth are only possible (partial) solutions if you're not constantly running massive deficits every year. Which we were not after the war. The rates weren't lowered until 20 years after the war ended. There are various...

Concentrating poverty in a school is also a terrible idea.

"haven’t cracked a book because there’s no one at home to force them to….and have no one in their lives who value education." Perhaps if their parents weren't working 2-3 jobs, 60+ hours a week they would have someone at home to guide them more often?

And by "they" are you referring to the CEO's of large corporations and their Republican Cheerleaders that outsourced those jobs and industries overseas?

You're assuming that all public schools are bad. They're not. I'm not opposed to voucher's for students zoned for schools that have poor performance. The problems occur when voucher's are given to wealthier parents that were already paying to send their kids to private schools. Like the...

Thats no longer true. Its in the 5%-20% range now...Thanks in part to the CHIPS and Science Act. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/amd-ceo-says-u-made-115058034.html We haven't made things like that here because shareholder value theory reigns supreme in this country.

Thats the whole point in the CHIPS and Science Act. Thanks Joe Biden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIPS_and_Science_Act

Totally leaving out the fact that a burger flipper there makes $22/hr due to strong collective bargaining rights, has healthcare, a pension system, roughly 6 weeks of vacation a year, and doesn't get bankrupted by education or medical debt.

We already employ a pseudo NIT, it is the earned income tax credit (EITC). Unfortunately any good will Friedman had evaporated with his disastrous ideas around shareholder value theory, de-regulation, and free trade. Remind me again, weren't all of these free trade deals one of the two main...

Life isn't fair.
