LOL... Last line of the article.... “It should also be noted that nearly two-thirds of audits initiated in 2023 were on those making less than $200,000,” Yeah, 'let's go after the 1%". About $667M was from the lower and middle classes. Way to go Biden. But don't worry, people like @thegeneral is ok with that, as long as you pretend to go after the wealthy.

I don't believe in kicking a person when they're down. It's best you take the L and move to another thread.

LOL at @kilroy69 owning @IGotWorms and @IGotWorms keeps giving him more ammo to do it.

I know a guy who does that as well. You only smell rum and when you pick up the piece of cake, the rum is dripping from it.

Wow, you really are a full blown cultist aren't you. Holy cow!! Liberals made the vaccination a political issue. People not wanting to get the vaccination was based off of not wanting to take anything they felt wasn't necessary. Everything about the reports said that healthier and younger people are significantly less likely to require medical intervention and death, from COVID. Those people were of the mindset that they'd rather take their chances with COVID than with the vaccination. That's a personal choice and they were welcome to it. I thought Liberals were all about "My body my choice"? I guess that's only when it suits their agenda. Also, as information came out about the vaccination not preventing you from getting COVID OR transmitting it to others, it strengthened their stance on not getting the vaccination. Yet, liberal mandates kept coming. That's why it is/was a political issue. That fact that you want to put the false narrative out there that liberals made people afraid of the shot, just shows your bias and proof that liberals pushed the vaccine because they hate Trump.

Yes. Remember when Trump put into effect Operation Warp Speed? Liberal politicians, echoed by the liberal media, said they weren't taking any vaccination approved by Trump. Then, they did a 180 because they knew that was a losing battle and then when above and beyond by forcing mandates. So yes, the covid vax related stuff is 100% because liberals hate Donald Trump. Djokovic? Idk... never cared to follow that story line, but no doubt, Donald Trump.

Should've never started... but here we are. All because liberals hate Donald Trump. Imagine if they weren't such a hateful group.

That's exactly what Democrat politicians and the liberal media did. Now you're upset when someone else is doing it?

This is where we have the crux of the disagreement. What you put isn't entirely my stance. My stance is: Bad team + limited RB + tough schedule (8th hardest) = Worthless RB.

You clearly skipped over things because I did say I exaggerated that number because I do think the Raiders will be a really, really, bad team. Like terrible. I think Minshew and/or O'Connell aren't going to be good enough to get this team a good chunk of wins. I also noted that with 12 carries, I said he could get 6 ypc, which is obviously absurd on the high end. If he gets 17 carries, which I think is reasonable (on the high side though), and gets 4.3 ypc, that's about the same total as 12 carries and 6 ypc, so really, stressing on this is rather moot. As I said, my point on the 12, was more along the lines of, I think this team will be really bad and they won't run as much as the team wants, because they'll be losing a lot. Wanting to run and having the chance to do it, are 2 different things. Yeah, I know what White did without Jacobs, I also know that they did that a lot out of necessity because they didn't have much else. LOL "beefed up o-line spending". They signed 2 guys to 1-year deals totaling less than $5M. You're hanging White's potential on the Raiders hitting on a 2nd and 3rd round rookie? While you're talking about OLine spending, remember they also brought in Alexander Mattison and they still have Abdullah. Look, Pierce can "want" a bell cow, but he doesn't have one on the roster. Even if White IS a bell cow, they won't be able to use him that way because they're going to be down early and a lot. Both Mattison and Abdullah will get more targets than White, I have no doubts on that. Like I said, if he averages more than a catch a game, I'll be surprised. Notice in my projection though, I gave him credit for 1.5 receptions per game. I was being generous. I agree, but White isn't Barkley, Connor, or Robinson when it comes to pass catching production. Barkley had over 40 receptions and 4 TD's receiving (in 14 games). White isn't getting 40 and he's might only total 4 TD's. Connor had 9 total TD's, as I said, I don't think White gets more than 4. Keep in mind, what Connor did was in 13 games, not 17. Robinson got 5.6 fpg from receiving... White may get half of that.

Wait, are you saying that the Climate Alarmists might have to give up their non-stop private flights around the world?

Honestly, I think there should be a lot of things that elected representatives need to forced to do. Nationwide policies for example. If the government passes the ACA... then everyone who voted for it, must have that as their only source of medical insurance. If they want supplemental, then fine, pay for it out of your own pocket. If you want to just pay as you go, so be it. No luxury plan like they have now. FOCK THAT!

That's b.s. in my opinion. The only way I can see something like that would be if the charges don't match. If anyone goes online and creates an account claiming to be someone else and posting things that could impact their lives, that's not free speech. Something like that needs to be re-visited in the court system.

LOL, it's 100% politics. As I said, there is no doubt that if Thomas were a Democrat, that there would be no investigation. None. At all. In fact, it probably wouldn't have even been brought up. Don't kid yourself on that. Don't kid yourself about Trump either. Clinton could've had the same charges brought up against her, but where are they? No where. That's all you need to know.

I'm on the complete opposite end of the spectrum with you on this one. He's a runner only on a team that won't score much and be losing a lot. Sure, he might get 75% of the carries, but how many will that be... 12 a game? White is a non-factor in the passing game... what, a catch a game maybe for like 7 yards? If he rushes for 6 yards per carry he'll get someone 8.5 fpg with a shot that maybe once every 4 games, he scores a TD. Hard pass on this dude. I wouldn't even pick him up off waivers, let alone draft him. Yeah, I know he averaged like 20 a game last year at the end of the season, but I think this years team will be a lot worse than last year's. I think if they win 5 games, that should be considered as massively successful season. I expect them to be losing by 10 points in the 2nd Quarter in almost every game making the running attack moot in the second half. Don't act like I'm nuts on 5 wins either. Vegas has their number at 6.5 with only 3 teams (Carolina, Denver, and New England), with less... so they're expected to be in the range of one of the 5 worst teams in the league. Yeah, I know, I may be exaggerating with 12 carries... he may get 17, but I was also exaggerating with 6 ypc as well. Odds are, he'll be around 4. So, 12 carries a 6 per clip is almost the same as 17 carries at 4 per clip. My point is, he'll probably be somewhere between 12 and 17 a game depending on how bad they're getting beat. The fact that he's a non-factor in the passing game makes him very dependent on TD's. This team may be one of the worst scoring teams in the NFL, so I highly doubt that White's scoring a lot of TD's. With drafting a guy in the mid-70's , you're expecting him to be your RB2 or flex play. In a PPR league, I want more than 9 fpg from my RB/Flex guy. I'd project him for 220 carries at 4.2 per clip (924 yards), with 25 receptions for 150 yards and 5 total TD's. That comes to about 162 PPR fantasy points, or 9.6 per game, which by last years' standards, RB41. To note, I think I'm being generous with those projections.

As mentioned earlier, we do it with Police, why can't the same be applied to teachers/classrooms? Even more so with the classroom. Now kids can't just wander into a room unaccompanied and do crap and get away with it.

If he even thinks Biden is calling any shots, he's a dope... regardless of how many hour he thinks Biden is "working".

LOL, you think that's what this is? You're so sad.

My contention is that everything the Democrats do against a Republican, the #1 (and #2, and #3.... ), factor is political. Also, that there'd be ZERO interest in Thomas if he were a Democrat. I tried this with Gutterboy, but he proved me wrong when I said that even he would agree with that, but I'll try it with you... as far as that last sentence, even you would agree with that. Am I right?

I have no problem with investigations. I just find it interesting that they only seem to happen when it suits political agendas. I also always question the validity of any claim made by Democrats. I don't think a less credible group as ever walked the planet than the current Democrat party.

Nope.

Oh, yeah, it's a major inconvenience and a pain in the azz. I know a few will require real help, but for the most part, it's not as big a deal in the summer as it would be in the winter.

ONE day? Meh. In July of 2013 (the year after Hurricane Sandy that tore up North Jersey), we had a huge storm (just not a hurricane), that tore up South Jersey. I was without power for a week. I got by fine. Edit: Realized I can't read. I take back the "meh" comment. That said, I stand by my claims that we were without power for a week and managed. Most of the area was without power for 3 days. Surrounding areas were without power for just 1. Yeah, some actions need to take place, but for the mass majority, it's not a huge deal, just a major inconvenience.

You're assuming corruption, that's the difference. We've already seen that over the last 10 years, the Democrats have no problems going after political opponents in the courtroom for purely political reasons.
