^ But [MERIT] isn't leaving us, is he?

I for one have no reason to doubt that he's anything but a good father. That stuff about tucking them into bed each night is obviously the best case scenario, but it's also a scene out of Hollywood that doesn't always happen irl. Something else about being a good father is hanging in there when things don't go to plan; showing support and continuity in difficult circumstances. If you're doing it right, which I assume [MERIT] is, kids can actually learn something about life - that it can be rocky, but some ties/relationships are strong enough to survive under pressure.

I don't think the ultimate difference in money between what he's talking about and how marginal tax rates actually work means much in the end. It's still too much.

and he's not the only Republican politician to say something like this!

Explaining marginal taxes to a far-right former Governor:

Imagine if you did chores for abuela & she gave you $10. When you got home, you got to keep it, because it’s only $10.
I can’t help it. I love her. She’ll turn to **** but right now when I see her I’m like please save us. It’s going to suck when she sells out and I’ll have to hate her, too. Pelosi putting oil industry sellouts on that alternative energy committee that I think OC has agreed to be on is probably the first of many ****ty compromises until she’s just another Hillary. Maybe she’ll stand her ground but I doubt it.

Already reported. But I agree, violence begets violence.

The bakery owner is curious as to how this happened, as all of his appliances are electric. Some people think it was a car bomb or drone strike, but I haven't heard any realistic reason as to why someone would target that bakery, or evidence to support such a theory.

The way I post news links is efficient. We've had this conversation. If you don't know how the internet works, then so be it.

TFW you're repeatedly told that you don't know how the internet works, so everyone else is the idiot.
