Next thing you know, Kansas is sending all-caps letters Remittance and Demand to the NHTSA demanding their share of the Interstate Highway System, as it was allocated to their secret treasury account under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted by the Continental Congress in 1779.
(I really need to stop reading that stuff)
Israel is a more-or-less democracy in a region where that is quite scarce. For a long time, most of the Arab league was aligned with the Soviet Union, and Israel was the only and primary counterbalance.
That kind of inertia takes a long time to unwind, even though the Soviet Union no longer exists, and several of those Arab League members have made permanent peace with Israel.
In conclusion, I don’t think Israel “has anything” on the United States. I think the plight of a few million stateless Palestinians is not enough to override the various realpolitik concerns that the United States has in the region.
And really people are not making phone calls nearly as much as they used to. The pollsters need to find a reasonably unbiased method to sample people on other communication methods.
Yeah. Spider man was a big deal at that time
I think that Biden has done a better job of working the hill to get the stuff he wants than Obama ever did
To be clear, nearly every substantial bill in the House only arrives on the floor by passing a custom single-bill rule that was referred out of the rules committee.
So these normally-party-line rule changes are a routine occurrence in the House. The weird part is that this one went through on a bipartisan vote.
Devaluing currency?
Isn’t that the thing the US used to accuse a bunch of other countries of doing?
Sounds like Trump, then.
Can anyone summarise what the fraud was?
Honestly, I think Lemmy is just not thinking straight on Israel and Palestine. There are just some truly wild ideas that seem to get traction around here.
(Like seriously, Israel has no justification to attack a hospital even if Hamas stages nuclear weapons there??!?)
For earned income overseas, US grants a credit for income tax payed to a foreign government. So if you live overseas and work a job, and the country you live in has higher taxes than the US, you can end up owing no US tax. But you still have to file the tax return every year.
It’s American specifically. “Come-to-Jesus” evokes the tent revival culture that started in the second great awakening in the 1830s and continues to the present day.
In the tent revival culture, an itinerant preacher will ride into a (typically small) town and pitch a tent for about a week or two (or more). They then attempt to “revive” the faith of the townspeople by preaching intensely for several hours at a time, sometimes for multiple times per day. In typical Christian fashion these services will include multiple invitations to literally “come to Jesus” by publicly confessing sins and professing faith before the whole group, thereby becoming born again. Regular church goers are expected to attend revival sessions every night when they’re in town.
Everything about the tent revivals evokes imagery of the early Christians in Acts and the epistles. Large crowds and mass conversions. That sort of thing.

And just for the sake of science: do you have an opinion on NATO?
Here’s something to consider if you’re thinking about selecting a different party ballot than you normally would:
If you select a party today, you are bound by state law to stay with that party for the entire rest of the election cycle.
This choice is also public info, and it will influence what kinds of mailers you will get.
Any debt leftover after the sale is still owed by the debtor (i.e. big orange one). Of course, if that debtor has no other assets left, you’re probably not going to get paid.
As far as I know (not a lawyer, not your lawyer), some legal judgements can be discharged in bankruptcy, while others cannot. I don’t know about this judgement. As an example, I believe OJ Simpson is still evading a wrongful death judgement that he cannot escape through bankruptcy.
Another wrinkle: usually in order to appeal a judgement, you have to post an appeal bond that covers the value of the judgement. And the deadlines to do that are often very, very short.
Florida probably has weaker business fraud laws.
The OOM killer goes on the prowl.
It’s also not really a fine. Under the New York statute the government is obliged to recover all of the ill-gotten gains from the fraud. No matter how much they are.
Discarded corn cobs and pages from the Sears Roebuck catalog. At least in midwestern USA.
