TIL Mayor Pete is a homophobe.

I know the whole "gay mafia" thing is a running joke, but there does seem to be a legitimate LGBT fanaticism, and if you do not practice 100% orthodoxy, you are thrown to the wolves. It's not surprising they are coming after Buttigieg. For some time now, gay white males have been somewhat excluded from the LGBT marginalized grouping because they aren't marginalized enough. It's been an ongoing battle within that movement.

I don’t know why we even give a voice to the fringe. F them. It’s like the same people who said Obama wasn’t black enough. F them too.

I'd be curious about how many companies entities are totally LGBQT. Cancel culture can find faults literally among everyone, and every entity.

Maybe zero.

Ideological purity is ruining America. No faults allowed.

My man. There's just no room for calm, rational dialogue and shades of gray anymore. Most of us are in that rational middle 85 percent.

The way he was sucking on his wife's fingers and talking about kids rubbing his hairy legs the other day, Biden promos are prob better left in the attitude era

Sounds good.

I was unaware you couldn't do that already.

He should call it the "Retirement, lol ACT".

Retirement is going to be considered a "luxury" by the time millenials reach 65. I can picture it now, "oh, you can't retire because you can't cover your healthcare expenses? You should have put more money in your retirement account!"

I don't hate it. Perhaps just make all payments tax deductible up to a certain amount so the retirement plan isn't getting hurt though

It's just shuffling the chairs on the deck of the titanic.

Seems like a reasonable change to the tax code, but it's not going to be much help to people coming out of school that don't have 401K's

Despite all the "bombshells" since the hearings started, Donald Trump is now 6% more likely to win the Republican primary (currently 82+%) and 2% more likely to keep the Presidency (currently 42.5+%):

I didn't click it, but isn't this just voluntary wage garnishment...? Maybe tax free or whatever. Fine. But the advantages don't readily jump out to me...

Who comes out of school with only 30k in student debt? I feel that most people come out with much more to pay back. Maybe I'm wrong.
