He was probably thinking fat titties and caught himself. It's just funny regardless of who it is that's flubbing their lines. It's like a national pastime ever since Bush - even Obama's long/nurmerous pauses to avoid stumbling were kind of humorous to me.

Probably with Ivanka branding. Second place is first loser. Everyone gets a Trophy!

Well yesterday Fox news posted this: Doug Schoen: Kamala Harris as VP pick was smart move by Biden "Harris possesses the experience, qualifications and stature that are essential for the position, given her record as an experienced prosecutor, former state attorney general and current senator with national recognition. Though progressives are wary of Harris’ record as a tough-on-crime prosecutor, in my view, this could actually benefit Biden greatly. Indeed, Harris’ record could help Biden solidify his position among centrist voters and even moderate Republican voters — many of whom have disaffected from Trump and are leaning towards Biden but are disheartened by the far-left’s calls to defund police." And Neil Cavuto: “By the way, the real quick clarification I just want to get,” Cavuto said, “the president seems to be saying that Kamala Harris called Joe Biden a racist. She never did.” Roberts then corrected Cavuto, specifying that it was his campaign, not Trump himself, that made the statement. That statement also claimed that Harris was a radical progressive and that she would try to “appease the anti-police extremists” in the party. Cavuto pointed out that as a prosecutor in California, Harris was anything but what she is being portrayed as in the statement. “As a former prosecutor, if anything, Kamala Harris was getting heat from many African Americans with the party and others,” Cavuto said. “She was a little too tough on crime and that sort of thing … and that it would negate her being a running mate. So in a way, be careful what you criticize.” I'm sure there are more, but why bother since they don't fit your tiresome narrative - so here's one for you. Kamala Devi Harris. Pretty close to Devil, eh? Too close for comfort anyway. . .

Sam Jackson - The Hateful Eight

I caught the end of Joe, then Mamala started speaking and I was intrigued and could totally see her as president - but then Kamala took the stage with the same old talking points and started comparing Covid to Ebola and she lost me. I just turned the channel - I liked Mamala much better. It doesn't matter who told more lies, who insulted more reporters, who grabbed more pussies, who had more "unintended consequence" BS excuses for me to say that they just can't be trusted. I can't see myself voting for any of them - and whichever side loses, certainly deserves it.

I believe that he is more of the mind of "Can you be charged with neglect if you didn't provide properly?" and/or "What legal statutes are there that can be enforced?" I may be wrong, but that's my take. Well we're talking about adult dependents that aren't disabled. I'm simply coming from the angle that if you falsely claim someone as a dependent, then it's fraud - but apparently there has to be criminal intent. I guess this is one of the areas where ignorance is an excuse for the law. Furthermore, if you're claiming an adult as a dependent, it will disqualify them from some social services that they would've otherwise qualified for. But usually the question when applying for aide is "can anyone claim you as a dependent, or will anyone be claiming you as a dependent" - so I suppose a needy person will just say no and then play dumb later if any issues arise. But who knows, all I was really saying is that parents with kids graduating from college probably can and will provide some level of support these days if needed.

Hi Coreece, Please show me any law in any state that requires this. Ok, so back to this. If you claim someone as a dependent then that means you were responsible for providing at least half of their support (food, housing, clothing, etc.) I'm guessing your angle was that they're not legally responsible in the present sense because the claim is made after the fact.

Hi Coreece, You are not getting closer. Tax law regarding what it means to claim a dependent. Let me know when you figure it out.

Hi Coreece, You still cannot show me any law, can you? Tax law

After the automotive bailout/loans/bankruptcy/restructuring, all those people that were laid off were collecting unemployment for 2-3 years and it severely taxed the system. Unemployment reform stated that you now have to make a certain amount of money within 2 separate quarters to qualify. (Rather than just working a certain amount of time over a period of several months) So many companies just decided to cut minimum wage workers hours (those that need the hours the most) and just hired more people to cover the difference. So now, not only were they making less money, but they also wouldn't qualify for unemployment thus reducing the amount of money those companies had to initially pay into unemployment. Theoretically they could've just got a second job to make more money and qualify - but employers started giving them sporadic schedules, making it more difficult to work with other employers. Higher minimum wages have since put an end to that loophole tho - and most were doing fairly well prior to covid. Also, just wanted to add that this is one of the reasons unemployment was down at that time - more people working less hours.

Interesting. What is in it for an employer to approve any claim? If the employee has a valid claim (laid off, hours cut, etc) then it doesn't matter what their employer thinks about it. But if they just quit or got fired for good reason (theft, insubordination etc.) then the employer can deny the claim. Just to add, the process to determine all this is a pain in the ass.

Not here, since that would allow one to quit their job and apply for benefits. The RoE would indicate a voluntary end to employment which would disqualify you from getting any benefits. Here the employer can deny the claim.

In Canada every employer has to send the federal government a Record of Employment after employment ends. One of the items on the RoE indicates how the employment ended. Based on that, you may or may not be eligible for Employment Insurance benefits. Doesn't sound like the US has a similar system in place. It sounds similar, tho I think it's mostly handled at the state level. All you really need are your tax documents/pay stubs to determine eligibility.

Hi Coreece, Please show me any law in any state that requires this. What do you think it means to claim someone as a dependent?

You typically only qualify for unemployment benefits if you've worked for a company required to pay into those benefits. Graduates would have to apply for other types of social services - food stamps, subsidized housing and possible cash benefits. Also, IIRC many students are still claimed as dependents by their parents up till their 25th birthday, so those parents that choose to do that have a legal responsibility to provide some support. They also can receive medical insurance under their parents till they're 26 as well.

It's not bullshit. A percentage of members of every stereotype cause that stereotype to be conceived. Otherwise it wouldn't exist. I think the problem is with using the word "foundation" as if it was the rule rather than the exception. Also many stereotypes are also found in other groups that are not being stereotyped with those attributes. Take for example jokes about blacks liking BBQ chicken, ribs and watermelon. Practically everyone likes those things, but it's only "funny" because they are black. And that's pretty much what all sterotypes tend to do - to exploit differences.

And evangelicals aren't a bunch of drunken, mentally ill, xenophobic, misogynistic racists with sloped foreheads that spread disease and despise BBQ chicken, ribs, watermelon and other exotic ethnic foods - and that's a good thing since slabs of ribs fit nicely through mail slots!

Nothing wrong with senior day trips to the slot machines - the drug costs are just a bonus. But I've heard Caesars Windsor tightened up quite a bit since we've legalized it here. But seriously tho, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't entertained the idea of medical tourism lately - it's kind of a no brainier for some procedures.

Just because Americans are stupid enough to let the pharmaceutical industry pay the politicians to keep prices high does not mean the rest of the world should fall into the same trap.Just because Americans are stupid enough to let the pharmaceutical industry pay the politicians to keep prices high does not mean the rest of the world should fall into the same trap. You sound like a broken parrot.

Right, until they threaten a company with compulsory licensing if they don't get their way. Canada already can do that if they wanted to - and now they want to speed up the process in light of covid.

From Article: The United States is exceptional in that it does not regulate or negotiate the prices of new prescription drugs when they come onto market. Other countries will task a government agency to meet with pharmaceutical companies and haggle over an appropriate price. Is that when other countries threaten the drug companies with compulsory licensing? Interesting that your "true story" doesn't seem to say anything about that, eh?

Hi Coreece, I have not heard from even one rich people in any nordic country. Have you? What did they say to you? That they're losing their EV subsidies. Pharmaceuticals should be next.

No I didn't. Right, I said I was expecting "better examples." The example given WAS "defined and concise," but I'm not really surprised, and don't really blame insurance execs for citing research that supports their position regardless if they fact check it or not. I blame elected officials for their lack of due diligence and just taking the word of some lobbyist. It further demonstrates why we once again need to implement our own in-house research organizations like we did prior to their dissolution starting in the late 90s. The problem goes beyond just pharmaceuticals, but it looks like the US is subsidizing the rest of the world. How about all those rich people we hear about in nordic countries start paying their fair share.
