I would actually like to see a studio, not affiliated with a major network and let citizens ask each candidate the questions. Let the broadcast be carried on networks if they choose.

These networks are way too biased and are too eager to work on behalf of the DNC.

President Trump should demand a debate where the candidates ask each other the questions, leaving the fucking pussy moderators to jerk off in silence.

I hope that was a typo.  ;D

Eww. Just the cobwebs and flies will get you. Ugh.....

On the other hand, most of the View members may be involved. And then it's only worse.

Here we are at the end of April.  Flying as often as the weather permits.  Approaches, procedure turns, holds, frequency changes, and getting used to ATC directions.  Amazing how a CFII can make 1.5 hours seem like 6.  Getting smoother as I get the routine down. It's actually starting to be a lot of fun!

Best part was the end of a VOR approach... Foggles off, get aligned, landing configuration, slow down.  10 knot crosswind.  A King Air waiting for takeoff watching my every move.  Landed a three point squeaker.  Instructor said, "THAT'S how you tailwheel!".   Felt really good.

This is an economic nightmare
It would be a nightmare if enacted, but it comes from a socialist wish-list that has yet (fortunately) to make much headway. The article posted by Lucifer helpfully linked to the Administration 2025 revenue proposal document:
https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/131/General-Explanations-FY2025.pdf#page86

I found the same 44.6% marginal rate note in the revenue proposals for 2024:
https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/131/General-Explanations-FY2024.pdf#page86

Both contain the 44.6% sentence at the bottom of page 80 on the 2025 revenue proposals and page 79 on the 2024 proposals.

Could not find it in the 2023 revenue proposal document. The following link appears to be a repository for such proposals going back to 1990:

My dentist has forbidden me to use mouthwash.  I’m in the middle of getting an implant and something about the gum healing over the bone graft which takes like 6 months and mouthwash isn’t good for it.  I’ll have to ask but I got the idea he doesn’t like it in general because of the alcohol being too much of a drying agent.
I have heard that you shouldn't use mouthwash with alcohol after dental surgery because it damages the new healing cells.

Clifford and Daisy May were married for many years.
Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night. Clifford would shout, "When I die, I'll dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life ol' woman!!"
Neighbors feared him. Old Clifford liked the fact that he was feared.
He died at the ripe old age of 98.
After the burial, Daisy May's neighbors, concerned for her safety, asked, "Aren't you afraid that he may indeed be able to dig his way out of the grave and haunt you for the rest of your life?"
She replied, "LET HIM DIG. I HAD HIM BURIED UPSIDE DOWN...AND I KNOW HE WON'T ASK FOR DIRECTIONS."
