It's 2024. You can't report on law in the united states without saying WHO the judge is. Alan Albright - the judge here - isn't a judge who decides based on trivialities like "law." He's a Trump judge who decides based on vibes and who has had an almost unique order filed against him by the chief judge stripping him of much of his docket.

I mean, if you want to believe someone who lies constantly, publicly, when he knows he will easily be caught... that's on you. Maybe THIS time he's telling the truth!

LOL. Falcon was the wokest Marvel show that ever woked. This can't have anything to do with your particular prejudices, could it? Nah. Must be "wokeism."

Dude. The lesson you got, from getting scammed from investing in something someone told you was "safer than a bank", was "don't trust exchanges"? You are going to get scammed again if you don't wise up.

Yes, Daniel Frishberg, a 19 year old who lost thousands of dollars, definitely seems like the appropriate person to analyze the needs of a team of professionals. I'm sure he's worked on a lot of legal teams in his 19 years.

I mean, sure. You could also "simplify the tax code" by eliminating all taxes. You could "simplify the tax code" by confiscating all private wealth. These are also easy ways. Admittedly, they're not QUITE as stupid as the "fair tax" proposal you linked to, but I think anyone would agree that both of those ideas are pretty freaking stupid.

Just not quite as stupid as "a national sales tax administered by the states."

Just reading the page you linked, that's not "doing your return" in any meaningful way - it's just helping you fill out the form. Still very useful! But doesn't really do much.

Because taxes are very, very complicated - and because if you give me software to help me prepare taxes, and it's wrong, there's legal liability there.

The problem with "simplifying the tax code" is that the people who want the things that make it complex are billionaires. The people who want it simple are poor.

If it turns out that you're incorrect about this, will you re-examine what made you say this and think about whether your preconceived notions are correct?

"For centuries, humans have thought lions see gazelles as food, and didn't care about the delicious grass the gazelles grazed on. But now, it seems that lions are trying to find out where the gazelles are going, and what types of grass they find most delicious. It just goes to show that gazelles might have some wisdom to teach even mighty lions!"

Yes, you are definitely right that when a news outlet reports on a lawsuit, they should link to the docket in the case so people can see the actual filed claims and what legal arguments they made.

what's to stop a tyrant doing the same against rivals or innocent protestors?

Wow, that's a really, interesting ethical question.

Oh wait, it's not, at all. Who cares.

1. Governments are already doing this.
2. However, if this really, really, really worries you, instead of buying your phone from your friend who "knows a guy" buy it from Apple.

Problem solved.

Parler is popular with Republicans, not conservatives. Come on. Basic accuracy in headlines.

You know that if you don't understand what's going on, you can choose NOT TO COMMENT, right?
