Its not a personal site, per se, but its my YouTube page for my family's little cabin videos and trail cams. Love making them and its the one consistent thing I do, other than walk my dog, that makes me happy.

US tax attorney here. I write a lot on the subject of EU VAT fraud (mostly in Tax Notes and Tax Notes International). I'm currently looking at a number of cases. Would love to be involved, if you don't mind a remote American. In any event, would love to chat. Andrew[at]Leahey.org

Lawyer here. Your best bet is a friend's recommendation, backed up with at least there not being anything negative about them in terms of reviews online. Not every one of us pushes for positive reviews from clients, though, and for the most part you have to to get one, so don't make not having any reviews a dealbreaker. Also make sure they haven't been sanctioned, you can search your state's disciplinary records -- its all public.

If its for an issue that is niche, you should see if they have published in the area in question. Gives you a decent indication of their standing in that field.

"Baseless" and yet if you search for it, you'll find both people in these comments repeating the same and, widening the net, a simple Google search turns up plenty of results.

Its almost like you just want to argue. Hmm. Sort of like bringing up Biden when someone asks you to draw a distinction between the alt right and the modern GOP.

This kind of revolving door stuff has been going on for as long as there has been government and private industry. It's just as scary as ever, but no more.

The good news/bad news reality is Alexander is looking for a big payday after years in government service -- not assist the government is using Amazon for its own surveillance purposes, or assist Amazon in becoming better at surveillance.

>Comment moderation isn't a measure of ethics.

I thought this was about the expectations of a user on here? Now its about ethics? You must have strong legs to do all this jumping. You should try just saying what you mean the first time.

Come on dude, read the comment you're linking to. Where did I make an argument as to the truth or a value judgment as to Biden being a racist? At least read the comment before you respond ... and link to it.

Edit: I'll put a bow on it for you. You say:

>by that standard they're more alt right than the republicans are.

You are comparing comments made by one individual 40 years ago to where your preferred /party/ falls today. You are doing all of this in response to a question as to what meaningful difference there is between the modern GOP and alt-right.

Forget about the fact that even if Joe Biden literally wore a Klan hood on Inauguration Day 2020 your answer would still not be responsive to the question, you must be able to see the issue in needing to go back 40 years in one individual's public life to find a favorable comparison to your preferred party's current positions.

Seriously. Just stop. You're flailing.

Edit 2: Just saw your other thread where you're defending Rittenhouse in Kenosha. Clear which side of the aisle you fall. We're done here, feel free to have your last word.

Other commenters are attempting to split hairs by pretending the consent decree the Trump Management entered in to (https://www.clearinghouse.net/chDocs/public/FH-NY-0024-0034....) indicates they engaged in no wrongdoing. Reality is, they did plenty (https://vault.fbi.gov/trump-management-company).

But, as you say, the game is to divert attention and dodge the issue -- as illustrated by the fact that you asked for a distinction between the modern GOP and alt-right and our friend here started talking about Biden.

Is there any reason to believe this may have turned around some in the years since 2016? No, right? I feel stupid even asking.

>can't provide evidence to back it up

Have. Not your personal researcher.

>...don't conform to expected behavior...

And yet, my initial comment is doing just fine despite your suggestions people flag it. Hmm.

I made no such arguments. I'm not sure you know what logic means, though, so I forgive your mistake.

Its pretty clear why you're here -- you're arguing with shadows about whether Biden is or is not a good candidate in another thread. You want an argument. Sorry, I won't be giving it to you.

>You're new on the site. I suggest you stop posting here.

I haven't seen someone brag about their seniority on a website in like ten years. Congratulations, I feel like I'm 14 and on AIM again.

You seem to have a lot of suggestions for other people (readers to flag my post, me to leave), here is one for you: don't be this guy. You're jumping around in here commenting everywhere and arguing with people you don't agree with. Choose your battles. There is a time and place.

I'm lucky that my daughter just wrapped up Pre-K and is now starting Kindergarten, two "years" that are pretty low stakes in terms of what gets done. With that caveat, remote learning went fine and home schooling is going smoothly (1 week in).

The insurance bonus is actually intended to incentivize coverage, rather than care, and act as a stimulus to the insurance industry. I'm not endorsing that policy, just stating it as plainly as I can.
