That is truly a sorry state of affairs. How is a legitimate business to survive, or thrive? Each guilty individual should be made to pay a minimum 400% restitution. Failure to do so should result in public caning. Because right now the solution is to raise the prices on the honest customer. That means that every time some worthless pizzant sumbeach steals something from "the store", they're really stealing it from YOU & ME. Assuming you're a worthwhile human being, too.

It's not just big cities. I had a break-in last year. Police apprehended a suspect within 2 hours during a traffic stop. A felon in possession of a firearm.
He spent two nights in jail, then released. This individual has been arrested twice since then. It seems I won't get my rifle back for at least three years, that's how long the feds have to prosecute and the local DA won't do anything till then. How many more crimes will this scumbag commit in that time?

Biden often works in alcohol ink that he blows with a straw on Japanese Yupo paper, creating abstractions recall patterns from nature.
Three critics were of mixed minds about Biden’s work, speaking to Artnet News in February, but overall were skeptical. Jerry Saltz described the paintings as “generic Post Zombie Formalism illustration”; Scott Indrisek said they looked “[as] if Fred Tomaselli started making art for dermatologists’ waiting rooms”; and Artnet News’s own Ben Davis opined that “as digital images, at least, they are pleasing,” but added that “it’s hard to say what they look like without seeing how the actual paper holds the ink. You can’t really judge it from your desktop.”

COVID-19 RELIEF DRAFT BILL PROVIDES $100 BILLION “DOUBLE-DIP” TAX DEDUCTION FOR THE WEALTHY
No stimulus checks, but big tax giveaways for well-connected business owners.

A DRAFT OF coronavirus relief legislation, circulated by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, eschews direct payments to average Americans but contains an unusually generous handout to the very wealthy.
The draft legislation, the Bipartisan Emergency COVID Relief Act of 2020, was released this week as part of a package of two major bills to confront the ongoing crisis.
The draft of the first bill circulating on Capitol Hill contains a number of adjustments to the Paycheck Protection Program, the forgivable loan program that has served as the centerpiece of the government’s efforts to curb job loss stemming from the pandemic. Many of the changes provide extended eligibility for expenses that can be reimbursed by the PPP program, including damage from looting and costs associated with cloud computing, as well as the construction of sneeze guards and other safety measures implemented by businesses.
But one of the revisions in the legislation is a subtle yet radical change that would result in a major windfall for the highest-income Americans and large corporations.
The bill provides that businesses claiming expenses reimbursed by PPP forgivable loans, which are already tax-free, can be further used as deductions when calculating taxable income. In other words, the change would allow a corporation that claimed $1 million in PPP reimbursements to apply that money as a deduction on its tax return, reducing taxable income by $1 million.
Critics of this idea, first circulated by a bipartisan set of legislators last summer, note that it provides an unprecedented tax advantage that overwhelmingly benefits investors and high-net-worth professionals. IRS rules have long prohibited tax-free government grants and reimbursements from being used as deductions.
Even Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin called out the proposal earlier this year as overly generous to business interests.

In my opinion, this was the worst of Trump's failures. The Swamp remains un-drained & so far as we can tell un-drainable. Hell, even Hillary was never so much as indicted. This meretricious kleptogerontoligarchy remains intact.
“It has been a source of great pain to me to have met with so many among [my] opponents who had not the liberality to distinguish between political and social opposition; who transferred at once to the person, the hatred they bore to his political opinions.” —Thomas Jefferson (1808)
Those A-holes designed it, voted on it, and passed it, so they cannot be drained. They also, voted on and "surprisingly" passed the ability to give themselves undeserved raises.

Congress's 5,593-page porky 'relief' bill is essence of the swamp
"The $900 billion stimulus package COVID-19 "relief" bill is exactly what one would expect from a dysfunctional, tone-deaf Congress: a pork-filled cluster filled with anything and everything that has nothing to do with the coronavirus pandemic or relief.
And in the swampiest thing ever, the bill, which is combined with a $1.4 trillion omnibus spending bill, is 5,593 pages long, or 5,583 pages too many, was given to lawmakers six hours before a vote to review what exactly is in it (hint: more pork than a Tyson Foods plant).
It harkens back to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) once explaining that a bill needed to be passed in order to find out what was in it. In a related story, our government is broken.
The top-line from the bill says a mere $600 per adult and $600 per child goes to those eligible, which is half of what adults received in another relief package passed earlier this year (the per-child payment was $500). Not hard to see that this amount is hardly enough to keep those struggling from staying out of poverty.
You can't run a company, only focusing on a four year plan, but that's the way our government works. Anything outside the next four years is someone else's problem to fix. Have I expounded on my plan to replace elections with a national lottery, pretty sure we wouldn't be any worse off.

The clickbait headline bears little or no resemblance to the article.
Tho the article does includes a link to an article elsewhere which cites "a knowledgeable source" mentioned he had "offhandedly asked"...
Brit Hume adapted this bon mot from Shakespeare:
"It will be said of Trump that nothing in his presidency became him less than his leaving of it."

So this is how people argue on facebook.
The context of it is irrelevant, as it really didn't pertain to much of anything.
But if a person is going to try and have an argument about intelligence, at least attempt to look intelligent. Even if it is a slight effort.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

Now, I'm not a terribly religious person, but that is seriously messed up.
The new bigotry, voice your hatred of all things male, even if it really isn't.
