Yeah but you're no me, ergo, you are literally poop as (to the extent) far as your contribution, Sinatra.

So go be me not FRANK FUCKING SINATRA cause Frank just sang and stole yo', sang and stole.; 6/17/15, 8:28 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: White boys being steelin' yo music.

They be Jews, then they just be white people.

We don't see the diff. between the bankers and whites except the lack of Jews up front, like they being' mens rhea'in it and shit or mens rea' whatnot comelot.

And shit.

You know.; 6/17/15, 8:30 PM

The president could tax, but only the congress could spend. Or the opposite.

(The judiciary could appropriate themselves up to, say, .75% of the budget to preserve their independence.); 6/17/15, 8:30 PM
Guildofcannonballs said...: Instead of this shitcunt traveling, hadn't he thought of listening?

Nope.

WhorebitchcunttilldeathlikeJobs this slow-unwitted (yes, you ^%$ that means he was indeed quicker than wit with I however his billions are nothing to ashes now) still rifles my essential being numerous ways the concept of "multitudes" underorders by magnitudes unlikely for you to be able to understand.; 6/17/15, 8:34 PM

Quaestor said...: Wild white indigo... a microaggression if not a contradiction.

Before learning the mnemonic Oh, be a fine girl, kiss me! (microaggression) we learned another transgressive mnemonic, Roy G. Biv (not gender neutral, dontcha know) and at the same time unlearned the I in Biv. It seems that Sir Isaac Newton mistakenly placed indigo in the visible spectrum.; 6/17/15, 8:42 PM

SWEET IS THE MELODY.

THEY FUCKED IT.; 6/17/15, 8:55 PM
Quaestor said...: The president could tax, but only the congress could spend. Or the opposite.

The opposite is what we've got since 1788, Louis, or hadn't you noticed? That's why the President is also known as the Chief Executive.; 6/17/15, 8:58 PM
Louis said...: Quaestor

The opposite would be the president could spend (what's called appropriation) but congress would write tax law without her.; 6/17/15, 9:19 PM
Quaestor said...: The opposite would be the president could spend (what's called appropriation)...

Nonsense, which, unfortunately for you, is typical. Also the indeterminate pronouns are he and him and his. Some idiots use they, them, and theirs as clumsy substitutions for the indeterminate, usually coupled with a mis-numbered verb. Since the Constitution does allow more than one president at a time use of the plural pronoun is doubly idiotic. At least you didn't stoop that low.; 6/17/15, 9:44 PM

They're putting a chick on the $10 bill because that's what it costs to get a good sammich.

Now everybody is trying to get into the act... Tim Hunt.; 6/17/15, 9:55 PM
Louis said...: Nonsense? Are you rejecting my description or possibly not understanding it?; 6/17/15, 9:57 PM
madAsHell said...: Since the Constitution does allow more than one president at a time

I was not aware of that, or I think you failed to include a NOT. Because I'm pretty sure that Hillary!! would have grasped that, and assumed co-presidency.; 6/17/15, 10:01 PM

Quaestor said...: @ madAsHell

Yeah, that's a typo. I'm watching the "Royal Pudding" episode of South Park and that tends to fuck with my concentration.

@ Louis

Try understand the word appropriation, then get back to me.; 6/17/15, 10:17 PM
Quaestor said...: Too damned insane. Good night.; 6/17/15, 10:25 PM

traditionalguy said...: Donald Trump has managed to make everybody hate him in one day by telling them the truth and proclaiming he is the one smart enough to act on solutions that No ONE ELSE dares talk about.

This should be interesting. He is not sneaking up on anyone. It's like watching a samurai banzai attack.; 6/17/15, 11:57 PM
Quaestor said...: Do you know what the appropriations committees do?

It abundantly clear that you do not, Louis.

Example: The Congress authorizes a certain sum for the Defense Department, which is under the President, to acquire weapons. In most cases it's the DoD that actually chooses what to buy and how much of the appropriated funds to spend. To appropriate is not to spend.; 6/18/15, 2:16 AM
Louis said...: To appropriate is to authorize the cutting of the checks. The congress can, and does, stipulate exactly how the money is spent. To hijack your example, it is routine for congress to order DoD to buy weapons systems that it says it does not need or want. The DoD, nor any other department, is not allowed to spend less than is appropriated.; 6/18/15, 2:22 AM
Laslo Spatula said...: "... you can choose your colors."

Althouse wrote that. Rachel Dolezal lives it.

Because you can never have enough Rachel Dolezal.

Dear God, you can never have enough Rachel Dolezal.

I am Laslo.; 6/18/15, 3:36 AM
Bad Lieutenant said...: Laslo, now you're going to make us wait for your Dolezal stroke story? We're still waiting for the Dunham episode!

Btw I have a hypothesis. Stockholm syndrome. Rachel really was molested just like she says and the experience made her identity with her tormentors.

Ot course that doesn't explain Chelsea Clinton...; 6/18/15, 7:04 AM
Louis said...: Haha Qaestor is dumb and embarrassed about it.

Not that it is dumb to be ignorant of the federal budgeting process, but it is pretty unfortunate to make things up (mansplain?) about it not at some party but on the internet.

Haha.; 6/18/15, 7:13 AM

What would people around here think about a constitutional amendment splitting tax and spend power?

Given what the power to tax encompasses these days ( and even predating the individual mandate ruling ) I think that would be a ridiculous amount of power in the hands of one woman. She would have the ability to tax any industry out of business, implement mandates on private behavior that most people could not afford to ignore, and grant credits to activities favored by supporters.

Maybe if you set up a flat tax, applied to everyone, no exceptions, and the President could only adjust the rate, then I could see it. But at that point why not just automate the process and say that the rate is set at whatever number is needed to cover the spending authorized by Congress?; 6/18/15, 11:19 AM

Please watch this war piece from the New York Times and then tell me where you get your faith -- your certainty -- that there is no God.
