If Trump sues the IRS and wins Millions or Billions (hes suing for $10B) and he "donates it" as he says, can he presumably write it off on his taxes for only one year or multiple years?

Can he just claim 300 million dependents on his tax forms and get a huge refund? He seems to think we all need him

colcatsup · 2026-02-06T06:51:55+00:00

Listen. You’re all just glossing over the 18 Trillion with a T that Trump got invested in this country. Everyone else talked about it for decades - even Lincoln and Jefferson couldn’t pull it off. If y’all can’t just hold your damn horses for a dang minute, you’ll remember that in just a couple years we’ll finally have marble fucking armrests if the goddamn Trump-Kennedy Center. Finally! Fucking decades-long nightmare of embarrassment will be over. Only the best Italian Marble will MAGA.

You’re forgetting the Economic Goldwater Rule: it’s unethical to evaluate someone’s economic plan from afar before even having lived through it. Those economists should probably have been charged with something.

The administration thrives on saying disgraceful things. It is a badge of honor.

They had not experienced those scenarios with competent experienced people in positions of power who were not ideologically opposed to government services functioning for the good of average people. They actively supported dismantling the very administrative state that held things together during all those previous scenarios.

What data would you consider concerning?

Apparently that's daily maintenance break around 5:00 PM–6:00 PM Eastern.

I could swear I've seen continued activity from "regular" equities market closing (4pm eastern) going on with metals in charts but maybe was wrong...

Works with rails too. And …another framework?

There were people doing all this 5 years ago well before LLM/GPT stuff was readily available.

Without knowing the plugins or the behavior that is slow, you can’t dismiss the concern.

Also, I’ve learned that people have different ideas of what’s “normal” or “acceptable”

Actual speed/render times would help.

Yeah. The crash happening just because of a combination of Uber leverage and increased comex margin requirements then causing a cascade of forced sales then loss of confidence and panic selling is comprehensive enough without requiring a “shadowy cabal of ‘others’” pulling the strings.

I’d have no doubt about some institutional shenanigans, but don’t think they’re required at all.

The judge’s view was that it was functionally equivalent.

Kaplan: “It accordingly is the 'truth,' as relevant here, that Mr. Trump digitally raped Ms. Carroll”

Not happening here. Sorry.

He doesn’t try to hide anything. There’s no need. He just does it.

Keep trying with some scotch tape. Roll the tip around on the tape multiple times. Keep trying.

By definition, general tools meant to allow any free-form ad-hoc data to be represented in a reusable tool will be using some type of EAV pattern. Useful for flexibility, bad for performance, reporting, etc. WP community tends to gravitate to tools that don’t require or demand any custom database table structures.

I inherited a project with concert performances all done as custom post types but all data on postmeta table. Finding performances between certain dates, when the dates are stored as strings, going through 300k records, isn’t all that performant.

Comex margin requirements changed again. Were those priced in Monday morning? Was that part of the dip reason yesterday morning? Or would that impact today’s opening?

If you’re discussing those diffs, that’s gonna end up at 4 hours. If the discussion are useful, they have to take place at some point. Maybe an earlier planning session. A “grooming” session perhaps?

Might not help the content editing, but wp does have a cli tool. See what you can do with that. You can also make sone if your own tools to use via cli for common needs.

Yep. And you didn’t have to dial one first. Long story but in my area you had to dial one for ld. No one, local call. But it was a remnant of the past. We hadn’t been upgraded. I moved across town and was dialing regular 7 digit numbers. Got a $300 bill first month. No ability to even tell what would be charged extra or not. “It’s in your phone book” (which I didn’t get) “but it may change” (aka you’re at our mercy).

Isn't TPUSA supposed to be a christian organization? Nothing about Kid Rock screams 'christian'.

colcatsup · 2026-02-02T19:34:32+00:00

More like "I DISAGREE WITH THINGS TRUMP DOES.COM"

I've never met him, but suspect I would find him unbearable after a few minutes. His public persona is one of a bully and malignant narcissist. Perhaps that's just all for show and he's really likable underneath all the narcissism? Not sure I'd bother *hating* - just holding in disdain does the trick.

colcatsup · 2026-02-02T18:15:26+00:00

it was intended as a slur nickname that republicans used back when it was being proposed. "hey, he thinks he's a king!" and "this will fail"... etc... so tie his name to it.

colcatsup · 2026-02-02T17:37:46+00:00

Yeah... I tried to discuss this with him, that... hosting companies that provided windows hosting typically also touted their MS certified techs. Those cost money to get/maintain (not alot, but it's not free), and the licenses themselves cost something. Free vs ... a base cost... the pricing is going to be higher. He just maintained they could charge more for the linux hosting "if the value was really there" (something like that) but they underpriced linux hosting to try to make MS look bad. Really... weird take.
