This news about Trump doesn't make sense. Why would he pay for an NDA when there is nothing for her to disclose?


Because there was something for her to disclose. They had bareback sex in 2006 while Melania was at home taking care of baby Barron.

Nanny state strikes again.

New cars require back up camera.

You're getting it; you're paying for it, whether you use it or not.

Just like health insurance should be.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

I do not see rear vision camera systems as being an example of nanny state orientation. Nanny State is related more to regulations dealing with normal activities but regulated due to excessive concern over slight risks.

Forcing the adoption of existing technology particularly a rather cheap and readily available one is hardly 'nanny state' material.

I rent a car every week and they all
have a B/U camera. It's useless,
I never use it. The proportions are
all skewed, you can't tell how far
away from anything you actually
are.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

If you will answer a personal question, why do you rent a car every week? Some advantage over ownership that I can't figure out?

Seriously? Again? Does anybody here
pay attention???

For the last time. I go to the casino
every weekend and it's cheaper to
take an Uber to rent a car than park
my own vehicle in the parking lot
for 3 days. And a hell of lot more
convenient. I rent the car because
it's cheap thru Costco and it saves
wear and tear on my own vehicle
and it's fun to drive a new car every
weekend. And it's tax deductible.

Sorry that I don't read all of your posts and jot down all the information. I am dying to find out how you get away with deducting your rental car....

He must declare as a professional roulette player... Or he's contracted to work at the casino?

Don't they allow business expense deductions
in NY? You should move.
