Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Just thinking that some of my federal tax is going to Israel, which is then funneled back through AIPAC to buy attack ads, political operatives, and media time for both Republicans and Democrats to defeat him. If it's not too late, they will finance an independent candidate to siphon votes from him? And I'm paying for it all! Fun huh?
It’s almost like how a tumor hijacks your blood supply in order to get better at killing you.
Angiogenesis?
Yes
You think that's bad? Angioleviticus is worse.
For 5 seconds I almost looked that up! Now I feel dumb. Well done
Awwww, just making a terrible joke, not trying to fool you. <3
I don't remember anyone with that name in that band.
I like their song Angioland of Confusion
I adjusted my W-4 to send as little money as is legally possible to the government until tax season. They can get the rest then. Until that point I'll just accrue the interest on what was being withheld and they can find other short term funding for proxy wars.
I don't think that's a very good idea because there's a penalty for underpaying your federal taxes or paying them late: https://www.irs.gov/payments/underpayment-of-estimated-tax-by-individuals-penalty
Oh. Sick. So the reward for being a moral human being while still paying what I owe is to owe them even more. I fucking hate it here.
Thank you. Guess I'll resubmit my W-4
Yes, unfortunately it's pretty difficult to beat or escape the IRS.
You're welcome. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. One thing you may want to look into is how much the penalty is. Depending on the amount, I suppose it's possible that you could come out ahead with the interest.
