    It’s pronounced “ah-zhur” rhymes with badger btw

    That's how I pronounce it but [semi serious] if you pronounce it differently, and do that with authority, a lot of folks will automatically think you're smart and start pronouncing it that way; and, [100% serious] MSFT don't GAF how you pronounce it and they actually encourage different pronunciations.  There's a video out there of Satya saying this of which I'm too lazy to look up and link.

    Part of me would love a primetime address by Biden reminding everyone that he and Schumer are ready to pass aid packages for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan because of our commitments to our allies and fund the government to prevent another shutdown and fund border security priorities, but the House is crippled by unserious egomaniac Republicans.  The Democrats are ready to continue working for the American people. 

    I'd be kinda surprised if it wasn't at least alluded to.

    The vigor he put behind that gavel smash wasn't for nothing. 

    I'M A MAN! *SMASH!*

    csb when I was a little kid, maybe 7 years old, just learning how to play baseball, next door there was a kid my age and his older brother, I guess 16-17, who played on the local hs baseball team. He had big boy gear, metal spikes!, 2 gloves, and his own bat, which in those days was unusual. Watching the twerp McHenry swing the gavel reminded me of 7 year old me trying to swing that bat, took all my strength just to lift it, much less swing it. About the only thing I could do was swing it like a sledgehammer...or I guess like a gavel.

    Considering that Scalise and McCarthy voted for Jordan, I’m guessing they try to fuck this pig st least one more time. But let’s see how the Clint ends. It’s at 15 now, I bet they think they can get 12 to flip. 

    The auto correct is killing you!  Lemme guess, it corrected count to ...something else... and you tried to correct it back and it ended up Clint.

    12 votes against Korean thus far, and we’re in the Ls.

     

    zeldin character doing quite well. 

    Desperation. They thought they’d pressure the holdouts. 

    I don't want to know why your auto-correct switches Jordan to Korean.  But I would suggest using a different browser in privacy mode for your other activities.

    Who TF is Zeldin?

    It also seems to escape them that it's a tax on income, which does not include wealth.  Unrealized gains aren't taxed.  At some point, the vanishing need to actually liquidate most holdings renders the concept of an actual tax moot -- it's not gonna happen.  And Joe Blow will never enjoy that privilege.

    Property taxes increasing annually, tied to property value, regardless of whether a transaction or other event occurs, are effectively taxes on unrealized gains.
