This feels like the cleanest way. Trying to tax unrealized gains becomes a clusterfuck situation, especially for private companies and illiquid assets, because how will the valuations be done? This way all the mechanisms are already in place.

The way to fix this problem is to make borrowing an amount in excess of your basis in a stock taxable. In other words, if you have $10 billion of stock in a company you founded with zero basis, loans secured by the stock should be taxable as if you sold a like amount of stock. So, for example, if you borrowed $1 billion you would have a capital gain of $1 billion. This would be both fair and practical to implement.

Things aren't going well for Vance. He's like 11 days into his VP nomination and already can't go near a couch ever again.

Trump has no respect for the Constitution, and neither do his supporters. Expect him to get exactly 0 serious call-outs for this statement.

Trump on Fox & Friends: "I think you should get a one year jail sentence if you do anything to desecrate the American flag. Now, people will say, "Oh, it's unconstitutional.' Those are stupid people. Those are stupid people that say that."

I think what we’re seeing is 8 years of pent-up demand for Republican ridicule after being suppressed by the implicit “when they go low, we go high” doctrine democrats held themselves to.

“This sacred task of perfecting our union is not about me, it’s about you. Your families. Your futures.” Tonight’s address reminded me once again why I am so proud to serve under the leadership of a deeply good man who is also a great American president.

My fellow Americans: It’s been the honor of my life to serve as your President. I draw strength and find joy in working for the people. But this sacred task of perfecting our Union is not about me. It’s about you. Your families. Your futures. It’s about “We the People.”

When they start in with the personal attacks, they’re all out of substance.

Just wait until @taylorswift13 endorses Kamala Harris.

My bet is that @SenMarkKelly is tapped for VP. Arizona is a swing state and Mark Kelly is a fucking astronaut.

See, both sides are exactly the same.

Folks, calls to violence threaten our democracy’s foundation. You can’t love your country only when you win. Let’s solve our problems with ballots and elect @KamalaHarris as the next President of the United States of America.

It’s great that republicans are so concerned about Joe Biden’s health right now. I’m sure they mean well.

It bothers me a little bit the fastest sailboats are more planes than boats.

In theory you could design one without a hull altogether that operates on the tension between the sail and the wing in the water and supports the pilots in-between.
