    .And so it goes,

    The Republicans want to relieve some of the suffering that has been caused by the Chinese Kung Flu by giving aid to laid off workers and other people that have been damaged. But, it could not get passed until the PBS gets millions, the JFK Arts center gets millions, and wet backs and all the non working bums, coke heads, and human debris are taken care of.

    If the laid off workers of America and the injured small business owners were the only ones receiving benefits, that would be a boost for the economy and not one Democrat would get a penny.

        So you you use a word 97% of common people have never heard... And you use it wrongly. Stupid is as stupid does and every thing you do supports that idea.

        a lengthy discourse; an informal piece of writing (such as a personal letter); a ranting piece of writing… See the full definition

          That is an interesting statement Red.... but you forgot to add the part that the Republicans put in . You know.... where real estate investors could use diminished value of property to hide income from other areas. Effectively eliminating income tax for long periods of time .

          ya know... investors the likes of Jared and even Trump himself.

          but of course you backed the man when he boasted that paying less tax made him smart ... did you not?

            What a stupid statement. So it it's smart to pay more than you legally owe????

            So you take your taxes to H&R Block and they tell you that you owe $6.000 dollars and you are really a lot smarter them so you tell them NO!. by God I want to pay $60,000!

            Hello! Stupid is what stupid does.

                  Let's say they give the money to an art center, or a taxidermy school. In both cases, what will happen? They'll use it to pay bills. Maybe do a remodel. The money will go to cover salaries, pay for heat, electricity, water, maybe some contractors.

                  Red's just being a philistine (since he likes looking up words).

                    So my two sentence statement is a, "lengthly discourse." An "informal piece of writing," and a two sentence "ranting."

                    And when somebody says you are dumb if you try to legally pay as little as is required by law. What you are missing here is that Sandpecker edited his post to remove the part where Trump said it is smart to pay less in taxes.

                      That's not the way definitions work, that a word has to convey all of the possible meanings at the same time. You went your whole life reading dictionaries and not knowing that? Yikes.

                      For example, the word "chop" can refer to a thick slice of meat (noun) or a method of cutting with sharp blows (verb). But not at the same time.

                      But yeah you rant and because you're really good at it, you don't need a lot of words to get the job done. Actually I would call it one long screed that you pick up and leave off at times.

                        only edits I see are yours and togor's


                        btw, I agree, Trump probably has an entire floor of CPA's and Tax Attny's to get every dime thru a loophole or exemption he can,

                        and we both know he has been audited over and over again each year,


                        so freaking what,,

                        we all look for each and every exemption we can,,,,,, as it should be , doesn't matter if your income is $1 or $1 mil, or whatever,


                        as far as the dictionary,,

                        it could be considered either,

                        chop would refer to a type of meat as well,

                        as in you have a lamb chop, or pork chop, but not a beef chop, (unless chinese and having chop suey) or a fish chop,


                        however the names of varies meat cuts are regional, often having different names for the same cut of meat around the country,





                        and no edit

                          A post is time-stamped 06:18 and the edit is time-stamped 06:21. 3 minutes to fix typos and mobile phone autocorrects seems reasonable. Like the man said, spelling and grammar always count.

                          So look at the timestamps before rushing to judgement.
