    Sigh...again, if you're so inclined, go back and read the convo with Sly. And I'm VERY familiar with RCP and how it works.

    But if you wanna let it go, that's OK too.

    Trump Announces He Has Hidden 5 Golden Tickets Among Stimulus Checks
    April 15th, 2020
    [​IMG]
    WASHINGTON, D.C.—Trump has built up a lot of buzz over the coming stimulus payments, saying he has hidden five golden tickets among the checks heading to Americans this week.

    Anyone who gets a golden ticket will win a free tour of Mar-a-Lago. Rumor has it that Trump will be watching them closely to see which of the winners has the qualities he looks for in a manager, with the best candidate getting hired as Mar-a-Lago's onsite McDonald's manager.

    "Who will win? Nobody knows!" Trump said gleefully as he carefully signed each of the golden tickets before hiding them among the stimulus checks. "I, Donald Trump, have decided to allow five Americans — just five, mind you, and no more — to visit my resort this year. These lucky five will be shown around personally by me, and they will be allowed to see all the secrets and the magic of my hotel and golf resort -- the best golf, maybe ever. Then, at the end of the tour, as a special present, all of them will be given Season 1 of The Apprentice on DVD!"

    "So watch out for the Golden Tickets! Five Golden Tickets have been printed on golden paper, and these five Golden Tickets have been hidden in your stimulus checks. These five may be anywhere — in any mailbox in the country. And the five lucky finders of these five Golden Tickets are the only ones who will be allowed to visit my Mar-a-Lago during the lockdown. Good luck to you all!"

    Unfortunately, he put all five golden tickets in a stimulus envelope addressed to Jim Acosta.

    My Brother in Law and a nephew got theirs today via EFT/direct deposit...looks like mine and my wife's will be much later, because we filed jointly and had to pay in last year.

    Aliens do not believe you are an asshole. Let's start at the begining.

    Many humans on earth believe aliens are our Gods. But have communicated with us very few times, if the stories are true.

    But what if we have this backwards? What if aliens believe humans are Gods. And lately the humans have proved this by communicating with the aliens non-stop, through radio wave messages from forums, like this one.

    The humans that control the forums behavior, mods, would appear to be Angels to the aliens. Of course that means the adminstrators of the mods would appear to be Gods to the alliens.

    Therefore, aliens believe slypokerdog is a God, not an asshole.



    PS, is this the correct bs to talk a God out of trophy points?

    Looks like a republican/trump loophole once again allowing the rich to get richer.

    You may or may not be surprised that some of the language conveniently inserted into the $2.2 trillion-dollar Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) skews heavily in favor of the wealthy. The provision doling out literally millions of dollars is aimed at a limitation that was created in 2017 when Republicans overhauled the tax code. It “temporarily suspends a limitation on how much owners of businesses formed as “pass-through” entities can deduct against their non-business income, such as capital gains, to reduce their tax liability,” according to The Washington Post.
