Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Re" Florida Condo - Climate Change.

Of course it did. Every thing bad is caused by 'Climate change'.
That's what got Donald Trump elected. Very bad, doncha think.
That's what go Biden to like ice cream.
That's what caused my flat tire.
Not to mention the stock market soaring. Worse thing of all.

AND - that's what ended Global Warming.

And, of course, my sarcasm,

I was HOA president at my old condo when we had building fire. Thank goodness we had decent insurance, good adjusters, and had a good reconstruction contractor.

Everybody complains about Karen running the HOA but the truth of the matter is associations have very little actual authority, and are usually stymied by the refusal of members to actively engage or, more typically, that members only get active when they want to oppose something.

‘Tree Inequity’ plaguing ‘peoples of color’

So plant some frickin' trees already. Where I live, mesquites and live oaks sprout up in cracks in the sidewalk, so they can't be too difficult to grow.

Way too many BlueAnons talking smack that doesn't move the needle, doesn't improve anyone's lot in life, just frickin' annoys everyone, including the folks they "advocate" for.

Indeed, why not trans species, too?

California Begs For More Electricity As Shift To Renewable Power Leaves State In The Dark: The STUPID is STRONG in these ones...

'Tree Inequity' plaguing "peoples of color': Trees don't do well on concrete and other pavements.

The week in whoppers: Randi Weingarten’s chutzpah, The Gray Lady’s revisionism and more: I was very amused...

MSNBC Expert Seems to Leave Mika Speechless When He Delivers a Harsh Blow About Trump Charges: Heh, Heh, HEH!!!

Trump must be extremely clean if this is all the
NY prosecutors came up with: I am SOOOO not bummed for those guys.

Why Is the Buttoned-Up Biden White House Leaking Dirt on Kamala? Because they know her??????

Capone must be extremely clean if this is all the prosecutors came up with

QUOTE:
All corporations, including the WaPo and the NYT, should now be investigated to make sure that no executives ever get free stuff, like country club dues or special transportation, without paying income and payroll taxes.

If they are legitimate business expenses, then they can be deductible. In particular, a company car can be provided as long as it is only used for business purposes, or the proportion of personal use is reported for tax purposes.

QUOTE:
Since the Trump organization got in trouble for paying private tuition, every university that gives free or subsidized tuition to its administrators and professors will now be charged with a crime, and the perk will be cut off.

That's covered under 26 U.S. Code § 117: "Gross income shall not include any qualified tuition reduction."

QUOTE:
Every airline that gives free flights to its employees and family members will have to stop giving that perk, won't it, since there is no legitimate business purpose for that expense?

That's covered under 26 CFR § 1.132-2: "Gross income does not include the value of a no-additional-cost service." The employee must accept standby status, and can be bumped for a paying customer.

QUOTE:
Pelosi and other members of Congress will now have to pay full freight every time a family member goes on a flight on a government-owned plane.

Family members must pay 1st class airfare when using government aircraft, unless on government business. That includes the President.

Hahahahaa. Glad to see this news has the left so upset. The schadenfreude is delicious. You just made my day.

Zachriel acts as if snark is a logical win. Because she never makes any valid points.

Speaking of Al Capone. That guy was a piker compared to the Clinton Crime Family, the FBI and even the Biden’s! Al Capone was just providing a service to a demanding populace. Heck, I bet his charitable contributions dwarfed that of the aforementioned criminals. Yeah, he got a little carried away protecting his turf, but the FBI, they’ll take out a civil rights leader, and try and bring down a duly elected President. How would it go if the entire federal government seriously looked in to the Clintons for 4 years? The FBI is sitting on a laptop full of evidence that would put Hunter, and probably his dad away for a long time. Al Capone? He probably should have gone into politics, if your a member of the right (left, in this case) party, you can get away with crimes worse than murder.

"Biden's Trillions" Yes, the bill WILL come due, but it will be paid, as always, by taxpayers, and those who buy goods and services. That'd be you and I.

Leaking dirt on Kamala...They want Kamala replaced before Biden gets replaced. She has all the popularity and background of Spiro of Agnew.

Trans-racial?

I identify as Pan-Racial, I am all races and the only race, the human race.
