Good idea. Just need to defeat the tax prep lobby who prefers to keep things complicated to justify their jobs.

Let's keep encouraging him, he's only a short step away from justifying UBI...

Garland speaking at 2:30.

Wonder if it's about Mar-a-lago or the armed guy who was just stopped trying to breach the Cincinnati field office following two days of GOP leaders threatening Merrick Garland with impeachment.

Turns out it's both. DOJ filed a request to unseal the search warrant.

I’ve been begging for a legitimate 3rd party since I was 12 and this one is somehow worse than the 2 shitty main ones

Because the problem is that despite the delusional rhetoric about the Dems being socialists, your third party needs to sit to the left of the Dems as they've been dragged way too far into centre-right territory. It seems like Yang is trying to occupy some kind of nonexistent middle ground between the Dems and the Republicans, an area which is already fully congested.

If you are looking for a legitimate progressive party, look into the Green Party. I'm involved in the Tennessee Green Party. It's a tough uphill battle but I was sick of bitching and not doing anything.

“Michelle [Obama] always says, you know, ‘When they go low, we go high.’ No. When they go low, we kick them.  That’s what this new Democratic Party is about.”  - Eric Holder, Fmr US Attny Gen.

Sounds like a man who clearly has been dragged waaay too far to the center-right…….    ……right

I do a bit of volunteering for the local DSA, it definitely feels better than bitching about things online for sure.

That being said, this is probably the best campaign ad I've ever seen, based on personal enjoyment:

Someone on Oz's team is actively sabotaging him.

Haha, plus he's also doing a spectacular job by simply being his shitty, shitty self.

Dr. Oz was once called out by the medical community (and Clare McCaskill) for his snake oil diet product claims.   
Reminds me of an unfunny Larry Storch (F-Troop)


Speaking of 'outsiders' while Liz Chaney's raised a record $15M+, 96%  (96%!) has come in from outside the state.  ....fwiw

As for the homegrown kid Fetterman, reminds me of the high-brow limerick:

There once was a man from Bel-Air,
who was shagging his chick on the stairs,
well the bannister broke
so he doubled his stroke
and finished her off in mid-air.

Extending thought and prayers to Zach -- speedy recovery kid and lay off the MILFs.
