  1. With how important PG play is for a Summer League team, I'm just excited that is not 'random scrub off the street' at the 1, not passing to our draft picks like they have a shot. @CrypticVillain was just about to post that same video. Watching it, he looks like the anti-Oubre coming out of college: Good Handles Good Passer Seems to be able to finish with both hands The windup on his 3 point shot looks like me practicing in the gym though.. at the 4 min mark, you can see him take a 3.. takes a full second to get the ball off.
  2. Last bit of venting / ranting before bed.. but don't the Capital City GoGo start playing this year? Couldn't we actually draft somebody with a shot at playing this year with our own d league team as a fall back plan instead of euro stash?
  3. What a total jerk. If he had even a modicum of success, he could pull off the Pop interview style. But he is so bad it's just embarrassing.
  4. Gotta Photoshop the Stanley cup in there so he can be extra obnoxious and talk down to us even further.
  5. Let me preface this with, I'm not a fan of this this draft.. the Stockholm syndrome / abused wizards fan in me is trying to figure out how many teams you actually need a viable 5 vs going small. Mby there is some 4d chess going on, but more likely it's "Sorry!" with some pieces missing.
  6. Speaking of which, I heard Aaron White had an okay season before losing to Vesely's team.. think it was in the quarterfinals. Read somewhere he is gonna get another shot this summer.
  7. Brown being a good facilitator / not a ball stopper could be big for the second unit. Sato depends a bit more on making cuts / spot ups than creating a shot for himself. Not really crazy about any of the bigs left, mby a combo forward with some range. I could live with a guard if it means Jodie Meeks and Mr TBD 10 day contract, that ends up sucking, never see the floor.
  8. Good stuff. I avoid this sub like the plague, so I likely missed it. Just have a boring day today and wasn't sure if people were unaware of it since they talk as if it started Jan 20, 2017.
  9. https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/14_1120_memo_prosecutorial_discretion.pdf In late 2014 DHS issued new guidelines emphasizing using additional discretion around focusing on terrorists and criminals, going away from a broader more aggressive approach. This is why the deportation numbers went down near the end of O's presidency. In terms of the 'jailing children' policy, that is old and we have evidence of it happening as far back as 2014. NYT's Editors clarification to a deleted tweet where he shared a photo of kids from 2014 and tried to blame on Trump. https://twitter.com/jakesilverstein/status/1000837340187774976
  10. Separating them from their kids is wrong. Moving the kids to jail with the parents seems harsh. Moving the parents to where the kids are kept could be possible, but that might require more facilities to keep more ppl there. Especially once it's clear you go to a different, likely much safer facility than jail. They could be immediately deported, so that they aren't being detained.
  11. Because not every state has varying rates for individual and joint filers was my point. But yes, the particular number is arbitrary, but at least semi means tested. You need to make 170k in order to pay 10k in CA state taxes. Homeowners there could get pretty shafted since it eats into that number.
  12. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bankrate.com/finance/taxes/state-taxes-washington-d-c.aspx/amp/ DC has the same brackets for individual and joint filers.. it is punitive.
  13. Some states don't differentiate between individual and joint rates because it favors traditional families or some BS. DC follows this, not sure about other states rates.
  14. Increases the cost of government on those receiving the government. Increasing the price of a good / service reduces demand. Put another way, unless the policies those states have in place make tax payers lives better by a good enough margin to justify the cost, citizens will demand change or move.
  15. It was because legislation that cbo'd at more than 1.5T needed 60 votes. Expiring at 10 yrs met that. I don't know how rules would apply with it being a separate piece of legislation, but it only takes 9 Dems crossing the aisle to do that at worst. And with how it's being bemoaned by them it would be interesting to watch them put their foots in their mouths by voting against it.
  16. Good news! Looks like they will be permanent cuts after all. Unless all of the complaints about it "only being 10 years" now are grandstanding and not because they couldn't get the 9 more votes at that duration.
  17. The amount of french revolution style call to arms I see around here makes me want to start leveraging my 2nd amendment rights... gotta get out of DC first though
  18. Fair enough, but people with negative net tax rates aren't up in arms about the tax changes because of infrastructure. The reason that negative tax rate is even possible is because of the redistribution they are receiving. That can be cut. A bunch of that other stuff has multiple schools of thought as to their necessity and can be hashed out in other fora.
  19. The implication is that the extra 1k is negating those services for me. The only way I'll see a drop of government service is if we go single payer and then my 'medical costs' will be closer to my mortgages.
  20. It's more about if you net out positively, but believe this is a great harm, there is a means for you to provide more funds to the super efficient government. Otherwise it's just ppl that don't net out paying taxes after benefits complaining about ppl being robbed less. You can choose to pay extra, but I go to prison if I can't / don't cover whatever percentage of my efforts you believe I owe for choosing to spend that time earning.
  21. No problem! Sorry it's not clear cut better you. I'm rooting for you in reconciliation.
