I like how you only cite the short term tax cut and ignore the long term tax increases most people will feel.

https://img.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/files/2017/11/2300-taxratechange2.jpg

And, of course, this is all ignores the fact that it will add $1.5 trillion to the deficit that Republicans railed against under Obama but had no problem voting to increasing it if a bunch of rich people get paid.

This is how non-permanent tax cuts work... and frankly how they should work. The "increase" is only if Congress does not extend/expand the tax cuts in the future, which will be determined by the viability of the economy. Surprised to see you Keynesians disagreeing with that principle!

I had just let board 8 become one big filter for all of my negative emotions. I just poured it into this place with no hesitation and no regard to anyone here.

This is exactly how the board should be used, no need to apologize brah

I have never encountered any individual stupider than a board 8 conservative.

"Lots of people dislike this bill. It's gotta be because of democratic brainwashing!" Go fuck yourself with a pike, your brain might actually be useful as carrion food.

It's kind of mind boggling how much vitriol there is for this bill on the Left.

Here is a breakdown of what will happen to who: 81% of taxpayers will see a tax cut from the legislation, averaging over $2,000 per year... and 4.8% of taxpayers (all very high earners) will see a modest increase

(which cites the Brookings Institute, which is a left leaning think tank)

The fact that this is being branded as "theft of the poor" and half the people in the country literally believe that line is legitimately disturbing. The right has its problems of tribalism as well, but I never thought I'd see such widespread blind hatred over a bill that gives money back to 80% of Americans.

My problem with the level gimmicks is that they are nonsensical. Like why are the rats spinning hamster wheels to keep the doors locked? The other games generally followed some logic, even if it was cartoonish. This is just bizarre.

I'm still planning on completing it though.

I never played the game as a kid, despite being obsessed with DKC1-2. I'm just past the first island now, and my two biggest takeaways are:

1. The soundtrack is a massive step back. The ambient music is the single best thing about the series, and it seems totally lacking here. I can get completely absorbed in 2, but 3 is closer to a Mario game than anything, with hints of beauty every so often

2. Baby Kong SUCKS. What utility does he even have? This is way worse than DK was in the original

Aren't you in LA? NY and LA are the only two places where you can immediately see any movie that is released in the US. The other areas usually have to wait.

It's true, I live in Santa Monica. I can find any movie showing in no time at all. Though I'd have assumed any big city could do the same, not just LA and NYC.

Bigger cities often have many of the limited releases, but I've never heard of something not being in those two cities

I didn't realize you guys had difficulty finding showings for off-beat movies. There's a theater walking distance from me that shows exclusively weird movies like this.

I had heard a lot about these games for their unique/atmospheric stories, but I was surprised to learn that the vast majority of the games were never even released in the US.

I assume it's best to try to play the translations in order since they are all connected?

I have wishful thinking'd myself into thinking Ted Cruz is vulnerable (though still the favorite) after last night

Fuck Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz is definitely evolving now that his role in the Senate is a bit different (ie not a mere stepping stone for the presidency). I actually like this new Ted a lot.

Same goes for Rubio. He's developing into a true legislator.

I still think the odds of a Dem senate majority are very low. 2018 should have been a watershed year for the GOP but now they are probably thanking God for the buffer.

I wonder if those allegations are even true. The 14 year old seems a bit credible, but I am not too sure about the 16 year old assault one at all.

We will never know though I guess.

Actually the BEST part about this is now the incompetent Democrat party will see this as a sign that they should compete in deep red states in 2018 and 2020. Meaning they will allocate their money idiotically and wind up losing winnable elections.

Damning statement from Senate Leadership Fund CEO Steven Law: This is a brutal reminder that candidate quality matters regardless of where you are running. Not only did Steve Bannon cost us a critical Senate seat in one of the most Republican states in the country, but he also dragged the President of the United States into his fiasco.

Seph you have your scapegoat

I'm fine with it. Now its time to abolish the popular vote for the GOP nomination and go back to smoke filled rooms and let Bill Kristol choose our guy.

I assumed youd be more along the lines of hoping Moore wins, gets booted by Mitch and the gang, and replaced by a more establishment Republican

After Trump decided to weigh in, I don't really see that as a realistic possibility. Would much rather have Jones win and potentially teach a lesson to voters.
