    Your church line made me think of a sign someone in my neighborhood has.

    "Jesus is my savior. Trump is my president."

    I'll be a piece of shit and post this no-win take.

    I see and treat a lot of depression. Feels absolutely beyond awful when one of your patients completes a suicide. So a lot of the "DoEsN't MaTtEr He NeEdZ oUr PrAyErS" shit on social media has me all pissy. Sure, he needs to be in the hospital for safety, but he's not fucking Chris Cornell. Some people are suicidal because of a tragic, pathological misperception of themselves and their world that makes life itself unlivable. Some people are cowards who do a whole bunch of terrible things, then find themselves trapped in their bunker as the chickens come to roost.

    Here. I’m pretty transparent about this shit.


    I’ve had people suggest to me that I need to hire a better accountant.

    Our household income hovers between the 60th - 70th percentile over the last 5 years. I have to say that the suggestion of hiring a better accountant to exploit loopholes is beyond absurd to us and completely unavailable to anyone making less than us. Those loopholes simply don’t exist at this income level.

    And hiring an accountant? For fucking what? 2019 was our most complex tax situation because she operated as an independent contractor for half of it. We got a $12 return. I fucking nailed that filing. What would some $1,000 accountant have found me at this income level?

    Not to get lost in this tax stuff, but definitely listen to the Zuckerberg BTB. I want him dropped into Ethiopia with a sign that says "Your genocide is my fault". I thought Trump was the human I hated most. Turns out its Zuck.

    Just watched cbs news interview a tax accountant in Tampa who basically trashed The NY Times report and said she would need to know if it was from his accountant or the IRS to know more. She said it shows nothing remotely illegal and doesn’t show he is a failure at all in business. No challenge at all to her saying the NYT found their own biased conclusions.

    I get curious and go on her website. Her about me is a picture of her with fucking Clarence Thomas. She doesn’t seem biased at all. Fuck the CBS/NBC/ABC news of the world who people generally trust who allow trump people to spread propaganda as fact on their networks.

    That's basically what Trump is doing when he says he pays taxes. He is either referring to FICA, sales tax, or property taxes. It's his way of trying to pretend he does the right thing without his MAGA's understanding the difference.

    I think the most insane thing about all this Trump shit is it already has a life of it's own, like if Hannity and Carlson got on Fox News tonight and said Trump is a failure we need to vote him out, Trump supporters would call for their removal not Trump's.
