  • They're also negotiable.

    She should tell them that she's happy to show up and answer some questions in exchange for sworn testimony in her case.

    I would be curious to see the breakdown of GOP reps who would immediately agree, who would immediately reject the proposal, and who would be fine with agreeing to get what they want then turning around and either refusing to cooperate or simply blatantly commit perjury in an attempt to shield their orange overlord.

  • Eh I'm glad that's for you and you're happy, and I know Lemmy might as well be the Linux fan club, but for me personally?

    I've tried to switch to Linux on 2 occasions in the past (mid to late 00s and again in the mid 20-teens) and both times I found the conversion process tedious, the experience within the system to be one that felt like I was constantly fighting the system to accomplish my goals, and ultimately after giving it a few months each time, was absolutely relieved and delighted to finally give it up and go back to Windows each time. I tried at least 4 different flavors as well, so I don't think it was so much that I just happened to not like one specific software, but rather that my primary annoyance was that I just wanted Windows and none of the Linux substitutes were it.

    I'm sure a lot of that is simply being used to Windows after using it since the early to mid 90s, and I'm not saying Windows is perfect by any means...but for me at least, even a slightly annoying Windows experience will remain preferable to me over a third attempt to switch to Linux for the foreseeable future.

  • But it should make him so toxic even right media wouldn't employ him anymore.

    With the way the Trump-led GOP has about faced and now fetishizes Russia in general and Putin specifically? Please.

    The fact he got contacted about that idea and it was greenlit

    Speculation.

    there's some channels of communications between Russia and republican circles.

    Front channels too. I don't think it's some big bombshell that the GOP has ties to Putin and Russia in general.

  • H&R Block forever earned themselves a place on my shit list a few years back when they plastered "free tax returns!" posters all over my area, got me to set an appointment, went into their office and waited over an hour past my appointment time, then brought me in, asked all the questions, established that I had a dead simple return...then informed me that their fee to do my taxes would be like $220.

    When I asked what happened to the "free tax blah blah" that was on every bus stop and billboard in the area, I got some convoluted explanation that basically said, "oh it's free to walk in and sit down and have the consultation you just got, but any actual filing would be a minimum fee of $200". The guy added that part of the reason he was running so late was having to explain all this to everyone else who came in today as well. Basically admitting it was all just a massive bait and switch.

    Walked out of there with my stuff and never looked back.

    For anyone who's basically just working at one job and not planning to itemize, I feel like doing it yourself is really not significantly more difficult than going to an accountant. You still have to answer questions and supply documentation...so if you can read and understand what "enter the value from box 4 here" means, you can do everything the accountant is doing for you.

  • They are fiscally conservative in name only.

    Just look at the deficit/surplus numbers, by party. It's plain as day.

    The party of fiscal responsibility loves to crow about irresponsible spending until they're the ones doing it.
