Most people are not good without religion, they are good because of civilization. If society breaks down, everyone is going to get real mean, real quick.
The most evil people in Nazi Germany were generally anti-religious.
They saw how effective it was and thought they could do better. Remember, Israel was created almost immediately after WWII.
I mean, have you ever tried doing a tax return by hand? It's bad enough for me just doing it online and trying to figure out whether my education expenses count as deductible or not, or how the info on my IRA's 1099 corresponds to the fields on freetaxusa.com. For some reason, Schwab put all the info in one PDF instead of splitting it out by form.
Now multiply that by however many other accounts they have and whatever money or assets are moving around, and every movement means taxes. It's definitely orders of magnitude more complicated.
It's not "don't kill people" law, it's "does this count as a wash sale" law.
If I did, they would likely be removed by a mod or admin.
Just being a white male isn't enough any more.
Impeachment comes from the house. But yes it's actually 20 Republican senators to convict since it's two-thirds, not a simple majority (assuming all 45 Democrats and two independents vote to convict).
20 is definitely not happening. Even in the last two trials, they only got one vote in one trial.
It would be something. Would it be the most effective use of their time? Unlikely.
"Something must be done, this is something, therefore this must be done" is a joke, not something to take seriously.
The works are sufficiently gummed already. Any path forward seems to involve action only implied in the constitution. Maybe a rereading of the Declaration of Independence is in order as well.
You'd need ~~four~~ twenty Republican senators to convict. I can't imagine that happening.
They said they are police and took out badges.
