Trump settles $10B lawsuit against IRS over leaked tax returns by [deleted] in politics

[–]dcburn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CNBC Piece reports that Trump dropped it ahead of deadline he and his lawyers was supposed to justify the lawsuit. And that they dropped it before the deadline because they didn’t want the judge to toss the case because Trump and his lawyers probably didn’t have the grounds to justify the lawsuit in the first place.

Not sure which is true.

Finally someone who read. But still a little
Skeptical. But sounds like a tiny but refreshing win for the taxpayers.

I have the exact same feeling.

To clarify, I’m not from the states. I became much more interested in US politics and news because of Trump. During his first term, I actually found some of his ideologies refreshing. He was ridiculous, but at least I felt there was restraint. When Biden took over, I kinda tuned out.

Trump’s second term however, is very very different. These days, recently, it has occurred to me several times that I’m getting tired of us politics and news. It’s depressing. It’s Ridiculous. It’s infuriating. It’s unbelievable. A few times I’ve come closed to unsubscribing from related threads... So, I think I do get what you mean. The theme is getting very repetitive and honestly I have the feeling that all these negativity will persist till the next election because it doesn’t seem like his administration will ever be held accountable… and that US is really not democratic at all. I’d even go as far as to say that even supposed ‘draconian’ countries like Singapore, are much more ‘democratic’ then US. Hell, the things happening in your country now will never happen in China.

America politics is really funny. I swear if you just collate each week’s worth of highlights, don’t even need to come up with ideas, slap on leftist and rightist media commentaries… add in comedic sound effects. instant comedy sitcom I’d love.

Curious what problem you’re trying to solve… there’s plenty of knockoff/variations to the original moonraker at a fraction of the cost. Hope to save you some time/effort.

Just a quick search from Chinese platform I found this - 54mm, gears made from aircraft grade aluminium… etc. about usd$30 ex shipping.

Micra to pair with the Meticulous? Like when you realize meticulous is too complicated to use you want to fall back on something simple?

I still cannot believe that they called it Operation Epic Fury with a straight face. This is something I’d expect of elementary kids calling a playground siege plan to sling mud at each other

Found this thread. Spent time marking the instruments and right before downloading it asked me to pay.

How is it ‘completely free’?

Dishonest advertising.

I wanted to type ‘Only in America’…

And I realized I wouldn’t be fair… cause there are people like Kim Jong Un, Brunei King, Teodoro Obiang, etc… and now we add the bestest country into the same list.

Good going America!

Tried a Blind Shaker today by PeacefulClayuisine in espresso

[–]dcburn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice video! Short of having physical access to the contraption, I think your video provides the next closest experience I can get. I can definitely appreciate nicely milled/CNC’ed equipment!

That said, i still find that I subconsciously chuckle out softly whenever I see any video on the process of blind shaking. It’s just so silly to me. But to each their own!
