And I replied, "They already do...a LOT more." It is unarguably true.
At any rate, I'm in grandbaby mode now. You'll have to discuss this with someone else.

It's not the COMPLETE truth though, just a factor of the larger picture, and that's the difference.Quote:

I keep explaining it to you and you don't get it, it doesn't matter what the tax rate is, the statistic will remain the sameQuote:

your tax statement is a fair one.
I saw your grandchild announcement long after you had posted it, plus you mentioned you wouldn't be on AMHD, so I was saving my congrats until your return. Soooooo, Congratulations, Grampy!!!Quote:

Also reported: Trump's family investments have a large ownership in Sanofi, a major producer of Hydroxychloroquine.
Trump continues to promote Remdesivir and Regeneron.
Do you have any documentation on that? I did a search and came up empty.Quote:

Being aware of how much you guys despise lying, I figured you'd want to jump all over this ad by Biden. It's full of real whoppers. My favorite is for this guy to whine about his business doing poorly in democrat controlled Michigan where the gov completely overreacted and shut down (illegally, I might add) so much of the economy that the result was pretty predictable. But of course that somehow comes out to be Trump's fault.

“For 50 years, The Blind Pig has been open and crowded – but right now it’s an empty room,” he says in the one-minute ad, showing the empty venue. “This is the reality of Trump’s COVID response.”
The ad, which was posted to YouTube on Thursday and aired Sunday on CBS during NFL games, features Joe Malcoun, who is listed as the “co-owner” of The Blind Pig, a once-popular bar and music venue in Ann Arbor, Mich. Malcoun blamed his business’ economic downturn on President Trump’s COVID-19 response.
What the ad fails to mention is the man is actually a wealthy tech investor who made contributions to the former vice president’s campaign. He also supported Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home orders that kept businesses shuttered longer.
