Nah, the Trump campaign is rapidly running out of places they can do rallies, because a lot of cities are requiring them to pay up front. This is normally unusual, but Trump stiffed SO MANY PLACES that he still owes $500kish from his last two campaigns.

Normal businesses are easier to keep away legally than cities.

And the fact that they steal recipes from small businesses and rebrand them.

Don't take my word for it, here's a decent piece on the subject from Taste.

It literally is him "killing" that stage persona and the ideas that powered it, yes.

Remember Biden deregulating the rails, allowing these corporate vultures to pick apart worker and bystander safety for quarter-of-a-percent profit margins?

Wait, that was Reagan.

And Canada still continues that tradition today, don't worry. Y'all might acknowledge your First Nations people better, but that doesn't mean Canadian police and the RCMP especially hesitate when they see a chance to shoot some indigenous people.

You forgot "multiple other envoys and staff there said he would show random visitors said classified documents".

Nope, direct file got neutered. It'll only work if you ONLY have to file a 1040 - it doesn't work if you have ancillary reporting like an HSA, stocks, retirement plan, etc.

The second. DeSantis already is playtesting this in FL by classifying, basically, being LGBT+ in public as "sexual" and making a law where sex offenders against children have the death penalty on the table. Since you're in public, there's a good chance CHILDREN could see you, so...well, you can fill in the rest.

How? Short of authorizing military action against Israel, how? We could revoke military aid, we could get allies to potentially do the same, but I highly doubt we could stop Israel without any fight. They have enough of a homegrown defense industry and enough manpower and political will that they would deal with anyone who'll give them the raw material needed to continue.

I think @Ensign_Crab is talking about how other countries like the UK and France do things, where you don't have to file. The government sends you a letter that says "you owe X" or "your refund is Y", and if there's anything that's not reported in there or things that are wrong, then you file that with the government and they go "oh, OK, here's your adjusted amount". Simple forms are often not "simple", especially with our arcane, convoluted tax code.

Although, like economic figures, this tends to be concentrated. It would not surprise me if a hundred of those clients were managing 20k or more units apiece.

Yup, regulatory capture at work. You see this a lot in EPA and OSHA as well - "we'll take your word for it until serious shit starts happening a lot."
