Yeah owning a baseball card worth money sure whatever, if you pawn that card sorry, pay taxes. You use that card a to secure a loan with lower interest rates than you'd get without then sorry, you are realizing gains whether or not you want to admit it. This goes along one of the lawsuits against Trump. He lied to get favorable interest rates by overvaluing his assets to get better interest rates. If that's against the law why the fuck is that not counted as a "gain" to use assets to secure favorable interest rates?

~~Right, do lithium batteries exploded like that? Burst into flames sure, but explode with no apparent fire?~~

Edit: apparently they can. I'm completely off base. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDaPP-dI9dE

~~This is nuts, from a vid I saw it was an actual explosion. The fact that so many "terrorists" were given devices with explosives in them and it was undetected until they blew..

I don't care if it's for the greater good, any entity that has the ability to pull this off should be dismantled and charged with crimes against humanity. This can't be a thing humanity just accepts as a possibility. Yeah terrorism is bad but this is fucked if true.~~

Edit: if this video isn't completely made up it looks like those batteries can explode. I was under the impression they would shoot flames well before any explosion, might not be the case. Quite curious on the exploit though. What conductor do they have in there that wouldn't burn out like a fuse before the explosion.

Yeah, this thread is kinda sad. Hivemind conclusion jumping without much thought put into it.

Then people saying he rehearsed doing this? What's there to gain? You get away with saying a racial slur on air? Woohoo...

Occam's razor people, is he some mastermind plotting to say it, a racist that let it slip, or mispronounced a word and fixed it on the go like us meat bags do on the daily?

If he says racists often then sure he could be a racist that let it slip. But my money is on the brain having a hiccup.

Don't know why the hate. I have no clue who this person is, maybe the're a pos..

But I could see my dumb ass doing this, having a long thought with points to hit, saying "mig" (like the plane) then vocalizing "er" to fill the silence while trying to remember how to say migrants because my brain knows damn well it doesn't start with "mig" even though those are the letters, ohh "mygrints"...
