Yeah, that’s some of what I’m referring to. Just rabbit hole after rabbit hole if you fancy a conspiracy theory.

Yes. It is pretty common tactic to go after criminals who don’t pay taxes on their illicit gains.
But you can also deduct your cost of goods sold when computing your taxable income, even if the purchase of those goods was illegal. So all you criminals, make sure you’re reporting your net, not gross, income!

Proper accounting for the drug trade would be pretty interesting. Like if you have to buy 5 guns to takeover a corner, what is the correct amortization period for that cost? The time to expected gentrification of the corner? The expected useful lifespan of the gun?
Nah, consider them a Section 179 expenditure and fully deduct in year of purchase.
(In reality, probably 7 year life)
Yes, you report this income on line 21 as “DNA research and analysis.”

You probably missed all the fuss last night, but the tldr is he was probably drunk so didn’t get a temp for the bonkers stuff he was posting.
The reason I was riled up with Churchill yesterday is because he was defending a person who has been extremely close with Epstein for decades (that should give you pause) with seemingly little knowledge on who she is or what she’s done and making it seem like we are the assholes for impugning her name on unstuckpolitics.com
Ooo ooo, now do the slave trade!
Jesus christ this thread is fucked up. I’m kind of shocked churchill just been posting here like a normal guy for so long while holding such fucked up views. Even with those views you’d think he’d realize that everyone else here would find them fucked up right?
I even find it super weird/uncomfortable when 18/19 year olds hit on me and have since I was like 27 and nope the fuck out.
Anyways, big yikes.

It’s not even necessarily wrong to ask why is it that a woman is arrested and powerful men have not been or at what age people bear some culpability for their actions and if maybe that is not exactly the legal age and if anything should be done about it that. Or to make an argument that perhaps legally it will be tough or even wrong to go after Prince Andrew because of the letter of the law.
However, I can tell you as someone who used to raise questions similar to this in discourse that a whole lot of my beliefs were just flat out garbage. And people would attack me and I couldn’t understand why because the actual content of what I was posting wasn’t even terrible or necessarily wrong, but what people were really reacting to was my choice to post on that particular subject at that moment and I couldn’t understand that. Because the truth is the fact that those were the foremost thoughts I had on the issue at hand was the result of in the best possible circumstances some relatively naive contrarianism but in the worst circumstances some nasty, as yet unlearned libertarian brainworms coming out.

Sorry, but 18/19 olds when I was 27? Yes please.

how dare you
Really? A lot of 18 year olds are still in high school. Have you ever talked to someone in high school?
I can’t imagine having a relationship with a high schooler or even a freshman in college when I was in my mid 20’s.
When I turned 30 I was dating a 23 year old and looking back we were on completely different wave lengths.

That first question doesn’t make too much sense because a powerful man was arrested a year ago for this (Jeffrey Epstein) and from what is known this woman was his main collaborator in this whole thing
Edit: also arresting her is a way to pin something on these other powerful men that used their services (although obviously this won’t happen)
Edit 2: like if it wasn’t Epstein and instead 2 women running the child trafficking ring I would hope people wouldn’t be like gee why are they going after women and not arresting the powerful men that used these women’s services

I had the mentality of an 18 y/o until I was about 35 so it’s all good.

Setting myself up for god knows what here but I tend to agree the F = 7 + M/2 formula is a little too strict for lower ages, and downright ridiculous at higher ages…
Bring it on with the pedo chants.

I agree with you. She’s the second in command and is going down second. Seems totally fair. I don’t think my answers to the other questions would be happy for the people asking them either. I guess what I’m saying is in general it’s a fair question, but it does indicate some bias when people are asking it here.
