The Freddy's chicken sandwich is really good.

Yeah but of late we've been leading the way in making it "acceptable" again.

Devolution

Imagine the hell of attempting to translate the shit that comes out of his mouth into anything coherent. I'd be happy if someone could translate into anything other than nonsensical English.

Federal income w/h is entirely your call. You can't opt out of FICA and whether or not you can opt out of state income tax w/h (in states with income tax) probably depends on the state you're in. But yes, you can defer having any federal income tax withheld. It's not up to the employer.

I've got the Fargo "leg going into the woodchipper" snowglobe.

The snow is red.

them, use the US military to steal Venezuelan oil and deposit the proceeds in a personal overseas bank account, impose tariffs by fiat, and etc etc etc. We are not obligated to obediently pay money they intend to steal for themselves.

And for those they single out to go after, juries can always refuse to convict. If I was on a jury and someone made this argument for not paying their taxes, even though I know it's the law that you're supposed to pay them, it's also the law that you can't snatch people off the street and detain

laws. If they are blatantly flouting those, we have no obligation to pay for it. 50 or 100 million people opting out of giving them money ... WTF are they gonna do about that? They can't even go after a fraction of them. Shit, the DOJ is now operating with a skeleton crew.

stuff envelopes and instead they're in the employee restroom smearing shit all over the walls, I am not going to continue to pay them because of course, they're fired. We have a contract with our government that we pay for it so long as it operates by the employee handbook - the Constitution and the

To clarify, I said "opt for zero withholding." Not zero dependents.

But I don't see why we should be PAYING for any of this bullshit. WE are the employers in this scenario. Since Republicans have always been big on the "run it like a business" BS ... if I own a business and I'm paying someone to

Weird, 47 really sucked hard for me. I guess I'm not alone.

I'm sorry our bullshit is spilling over the border, Canada. Y'all are nice folks and better neighbors than we've ever deserved.

I'm wearing it out with my Trump "I did that!" and "You voted for this!" (used in areas where I know they did, in fact, vote for this chaos) stickers on the gas pumps. I leave them pointing to the coffee price stickers in the grocery store, too.

We should stop paying the abusers to abuse us. Federal income tax - everyone should opt for zero withholding. Then when April rolls around, file an extension. You have until October to decide if you want to pay them or not.

Starve the beast.

Mind your own fucking business, Del.

Now if only a giant cartoon foot would descend from the ceiling and crush him while making a farting noise ...

Someone called me a degenerate in WaPo comments several years ago because of a harmless joke I made about weed smokers. Proudest day of my life!

Gorbachev Sings Tractors: Turnip! Buttocks!

Yeah, they've given every unmarried woman in the US a good reason to keep their maiden surname. Eventually the only people this will block are tradwives - who vote Republican. These guys just can't stop stepping on their own dicks.

The theme from Monty Python is perfect.

*Chef's kiss*

Really chaps my ass when they use the excuse of "well, you have to show ID to buy liquor." Uh, yeah, but it's NOT because the clerk gives a shit about WHO you are; they ask to verify your AGE. If you walk into your precinct and give your name, birthdate and/or address, you HAVE identified yourself.

Ah, ok. So there is ONE example. But it's notable that it wasn't a busload of undocumented immigrants, innit? That's the scare story they always tell to their braindead followers.

Those are people who requested mail in ballots on behalf of deceased relatives (and were subsequently caught).

To the best of my knowledge, NO ONE has walked into a polling place claiming to be someone else and cast a vote in that person's name - which is the only thing showing an ID would prevent.

As always with these clowns, loyalty is a one-way street.

only to be told they had already voted? Can you name for me a single case where someone impersonated another voter when voting in person? Because it seems like we would hear about it if it was happening, and yet I've never heard about it happening, ever."

they have to first target someone to impersonate, next figure out their voting precinct, perhaps memorize their birthdate and/or address - and then make sure they show up to vote before the voter they're impersonating does? And if voter impersonation was a thing, wouldn't we have voters showing up

Just once I'd like to see an actual journalist say to one of these clowns: "What does showing an ID do other than prevent voter impersonation? If you walk in and give your name (and sometimes address and/or birthdate), haven't you confirmed your identity? For someone to impersonate a voter, wouldn't
