fox news commentator commits jury tampering

he posted this in xitter

“If you’re a Trump supporter in New York City who is a part of the jury pool, do everything you can to get seated on the jury and then refuse to convict as a matter of principle, dooming the case via hung jury. It’s the most patriotic thing you could possibly do.”


arrest his ass and throw him in rikers

the total eclipse

even though austin was in the path of totality the weather forecast was so poor i drove to southeastern missouri.
it was an adventure. spend the night in my car in a walmart parking lot.
just as the eclipse ended a bald eagle flew overhead. still had the filter on the camera and couldnt get it off in time to get a shot even though i tried

this photo has the corona, bailys beads, the diamond ring and several solar flares

its time for a large estate tax

thats one way to go after the ultra wealthy.
you want to make billions and billions of dollars fine. Just know that you cant pass it to your heirs.

I propose that any estate over 1B be taxed at 90%. no deductions or estate tax avoidance. that will still leave any heirs 100m .
also the inheritance taxes on lesser amount should be changed. right now if you pass away and leave stock to your kids they their cost basis is the price on teh day you die. any difference between what you paid for the stock and the current value becomes tax free.
change it so when you pass away any stock over 10m gets hit with capital gains taxes as if you sold it on your death day.
