Buttigieg rockets by Warren for second place in the newest Quinnipiac national poll. So Biden and Buttigieg 1-2 at the moment. I saw an "article" yesterday on The Root titled "Pete Buttigieg is a lying MF". There are several layers as to why black voters largely do not like him, but the gay factor ...

Half the country doesn’t vote and of those that do, most probably don’t even know who/what they are voting for, nor do they care after Election Day.

Twenty per­cent or more of Med­icaid spend­ing in 2019—an amount likely to ex­ceed $75 bil­lion—is im­proper. No worries, though. $75B is a rounding ...

yeah that at 40 would not cut it if you're planning on having kids that's for sure
Are you assuming the person quits investing at 40? Following that same path until 50 and then no longer contributing would turn a nest-egg into $10MM+ by 65, assuming a realistic 8% annually.

Now Ratcliffe is on about Democratics are changing the description from quid pro quo to bribery, lol.
A poll was conducted to see which phrase elicited the most negative response from Democrats: quid pro quo, bribery, and a third I don’t recall right now.

Bribery won by a large margin.

Whatever gets one through the day and helps them sleep at night. As long as that doesn’t include trying to convince others of your beliefs.

And as long as big government is feeding at the rest of our troughs, remove the tax-exempt status.
