HEY

Smiley-stealing sonuvabitch...

Here it's more of a slur. Stroke? Loose dentures? Huckasands says dry mouth. Yeah, sure.

[Per]

He seriously considers it to be a reasonable question!

Well, to be honest, I know it's not.

It's more like a "have you stopped beating your wife" question.

You can't say you frequently confuse your father with your grandfather, because it would make you look weird.
Yet you won't say that of course you don't, because it would be an admittance that what Donny did was weird, and god forbid you ever put his Infallability into question.

So you just keep dodging the question.

I find it rather amusing!

[Strangelove]

Now you've got it Per, laugh at the ridiculous uproar as I do!

"Dementia"

[Per]

Well... it''s really no laughing matter, I guess.
It's a terrible disease. Sad.

[Per]

It's just fascinating. He keeps saying oranges instead of origins. He obviously notices that he does it wrong, because he adds "the beginnings, the start", and yet he keeps going back to oranges!

If the Don wants to buy Origin by Dan Brown, they'll just keep handing him Angels and Demons instead....

OLD MAN JOE: BIDEN SLURS HIS WAY THROUGH FIRST SPEECH AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE

At 76, Joe Biden is one the oldest people to ever mount a presidential campaign, and in his first speech as a presidential candidate Monday, it showed.

The Pennsylvania native and former vice president — who just announced his third attempt at a run for the White House — repeatedly stumbled and slurred his way through his brief, 27-minute remarks in Pittsburgh Monday. His almost every sentence was peppered with verbal stumbles.

.....................................................................................

Look at those faces of his "supporters"... lmao, they won't be attending another one!

Sniffer Joe is like a lamb being led to the slaughter!

OMG The Donald is gonna make mincemeat of out this washed-up buffoon!!




Did Per say something about dementia a few posts up?

Yeah, Joe has missed the train. He's even older than Trump.
America needs someone who hasn't passed the best before date yet.

Speaking of "Dems with Dementia" Pelosi was a stuttering confused mess today after Barr just said no to her circus.

Trump's tariffs already cost the USA 1.4 billion per month, and now he wants to step it up even further...

http://www.princeton.edu/~reddings/pape ... P13564.pdf

This paper explores the impacts of the Trump administration’s trade policy on prices and welfare. Over the course of 2018, the U.S. experienced substantial increases in the prices of intermediates and final goods, dramatic changes to its supply-chain network, reductions in availability of imported varieties, and complete passthrough of the tariffs into domestic prices of imported goods. Overall, using standard economic methods, we find that the full incidence of the tariff falls on domestic consumers, with a reduction in U.S. real income of $1.4 billion per month by the end of 2018.

I don't know, the whole refusing to release taxes things seems completely absurd to me, but then I'm Swedish.

Back in the 18th century a power struggle between the king and parliament resulted in parliament passing legislation in 1766 that all documents issued by or received by government authorities are to be considered public documents, unless they fit very narrow criteria (such as national security) for becoming classified. This caused quite some stir when Sweden joined the EU and a lot of other European governments were shocked to find out that letters they sent to the Swedish government were readily available to all Swedish journalists.

Anyway, tax fillings are no different. You send them to the Swedish tax authorities, which is a government Agency, and thus they become public. Anyone can find out what anyone has filed, if you are willing to take the time and don't mind your neighbours finding out that you have asked about them, because that is of course the one provision; you asking to get to see the documents is of course also a request that will become public.

Anyway, that someone in a government position can refuse to tell what they filed is just completely foreign to me.
How can anyone accept a government with such a profound lack of transparancy?

All leading politicians in Sweden have journalists digging through their financial records on a regular basis, and there are a few scandals every year. Helps keep them honest.

Tax returns in Canada and the US are confidential.

The US has a sad tradion of using the Internal Revenue Agency as a political tool. Last publicly known case was Obama officials at the IRS selectively going after Tea Party organizations.
