      It's a Twitterism for when somebody posts something that's so aggressively stupid/disgusting that everybody comments on it (to torch them) but nobody retweets or likes it.

      In other words it's a way to tell a swimmer to get out of the gene pool.

        Walker just needs to go away; the sooner the better.

        I'll bet you he runs again in 2022, though. Not like he's got any future in Washington after his 2016 bid crashed and burned.

          Also, Walker is being ratio'd pretty hard over this.

              It proves you don't understand how marginal rates work. But then, neither do any other Republicans, such as Scott walker.


              Or else you and they do understand, and choose to lie about it. Neither one an attractive option.

                They know. They also know that if they pretend they know what it means it will be harder to steal more money and add to the 23 trillion.

                  One of my favorite posts on here ever was your, “Don’t misrepresent my positions. I want a 90% top marginal rate.” Or something to that effect when someone was trying to be sarcastic about your positions. It was hilarious.

                    You have to have a decent income to run into any bracket of note.

                            It maxes out at 2%. It's a good start, sure, but let's try 20%.

                              I admittedly have zero clue how the moving parts behind this story function, but I've been chuckling at this all day.

                              The Internet being the Internet, he's all but been nominated for sainthood for the sheer lulz produced.

                                If I am reading correctly he set up a situation where his earnings would have eventually more than offset his losses but his losses came first (in fact, immediately) and the platform then forced him to cash out his earnings, at way below what they would ultimately have been, to pay for his losses. That implies that if he had had a stable reservoir of funds to draw from to cover his losses then his large earnings would have been left to come in as expected, eventually, and he'd have finished ahead.

                                Did I get that right?
