That Disney story reminds me of UPS. They make over $1 Billion in profit every quarter and yet we just got a letter saying their rates are going up about 5% next year. I guess a billion a quarter isn’t enough.
To what margin% does that $1B translate?
Looks like about 7%. $15B in revenue.
To Will’s link to the New York Radical Muslim murders yesterday. Irony is very thick this am. The Libs release a commercial against Gillespie showing a Trump Deplorable chasing minority children in an effort to run them over. Confederate flag and everything. Then an Ahaluh Akbar shouting piece of s–t actually does it!!! One can actually picture the bespectacled ad makers guffawing at their own supposed creativity!! Well, att least eight are dead. Ummmmm, The Deplorables aren’t gonna take this. Nope. Guess what Dems? You just ensured a Gillespie win! Not giggling any more, I’ll bet.
Tax cut, not tax reform. I just read that the bill’s release has been delayed and your link mentions that issues re 401Ks and deduction of state taxes are still unresolved so I would guess the gop will get to a ‘final’ bill later rather than earlier, maybe even in time to print a few copies before they call a vote.
Ideal title for today, Will, as I start my Christmas decorating on November 1 every year.
Washington Post: “Mueller ought to be held accountable,” Gingrich said. He ticked through a series of what he considers questionable moves by Mueller and his team, including their handling of former Trump foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, who the government described in Monday’s indictment as a “proactive cooperator.”
“Congress should look seriously at whether Mueller put a wire on this guy and sent him around to entrap people,” Gingrich said. “If that happened, Congress better see the full transcripts, not just the FBI’s edited versions. Congress should also ask why they’re raiding [former campaign chairman Paul] Manafort’s home at 5 a.m. for a white-collar crime from a few years ago.”
Yeah, Newt. You’ve earned everyone’s respect with your incisive criticism of the misrepresentation of USDA’s Shirley Sherrod’s comments, and the phony biotech company selective editing of tapes of Planned Parenthood.
Besides, white collar crime not isn’t really crime, is it? It’s not like it’s a swamp or anything. Just good folks pushing the envelope to create jobs.
Besides, he had 3 passports and a lot of money and Papadopolous was caught at Dulles apparently trying to flee.
Ah, I misread that. Damn! it would have been much more dramatic the other way.
Kemp may be in some hot water here. The AG’s office is quitting their defense of him and others.
The Georgia attorney general’s office will no longer represent state election officials in an elections integrity lawsuit in which a crucial computer server was quietly wiped clean three days after the suit was filed, The Associated Press has learned.
Very interesting.
The AG’s office offers no comment as to why. Kemp says Roy Barnes will represent him, but no info about how that gets paid for.
“The Attorney General’s Office often taps outside counsel to represent state agencies when there’s a conflict of interest, such as a situation where the Law Department would have to represent both the Secretary of State’s Office and Kennesaw State University in the same legal matter.”

Makes sense.
With any luck, Mueller can find a prosecutable crime not beyond statutes of limitations by Manafort’s torturer’s lobbying firm and put him away for life if he doesn’t roll.
