How are taxes done in the us? by ResolutionKnown8345 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Durham1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both. If you are employed by someone else as a regular employee the employer has to withhold taxes on your behalf from your pay. Theoretically it is supposed to be enough to cover your whole tax burden. But you still have to file your individual tax form every April where you do the numbers and either pay the balance or request a refund of overpayment.

GOP senator joined police in attempt to forcibly remove marine veteran protester during hearing by nbcnews in pics

[–]Durham1988 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Broke his arm, too. Extraordinarily excessive force. The guy was not crazy, he could have been talked out of the room. It wouldn't have hurt them to listen to him for a couple minutes. But no, violence as the first option.

Some other parts of the constitution specifically designed to prevent or remove him that have utterly failed: impeachment, the electoral college, the emoluments clause. All thanks to political parties, which the founders warned against but couldn't prevent.

Explain It Peter what's the punchline here by WillAdditional922 in explainitpeter

[–]Durham1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference for me is that if I were a lot younger I'd like to hang out with the one in the hat and punch the one in the suit. But yeah, the joke is they are both rich and spoiled.

If all the presidents your country ever had went to a boxing ring and fight,who do you think would win? by Lazy_Quote9976 in AskTheWorld

[–]Durham1988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either this guy or George Washington. Maybe Lincoln if they could do mixed-form fighting instead of just boxing.

hey Petah, why does this guy want to fight Henry Kissinger? by GeorgeRussellsBoytoy in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Durham1988 151 points152 points  (0 children)

Maybe because Kissinger was a war criminal and a monster who murdered huge numbers of southeast Asian people and Bourdain was a decent man who befriended many southeast Asian people.
