I’m sure your husband would love the time off. 

I’m not gay but it’s interesting you think that’s insulting for some reason.

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at its all-time high today, so I'd like to congratulate Joe Biden for building the greatest economy the world has ever seen.

How am I to know your sex?  All I can tell is you think a man should be paid for missing work because…reasons.  As long as someone else is dragging the check, am I right?   Pretty sure I know, but what is your position on gender reveal parties?  2 days off or so?

I don't know why he cut maternity leave when the two months that was used was paternity leave that people had an issue with. Hell it wasn't that he left two months, but that no one noticed while our supply chain is messed up. 

https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/oct/20/pete-buttigieg-back-two-month-paternity-absence-ci/

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who has been on paternity leave for about two months during a worsening shipping crisis, said Wednesday he has a “new appreciation” for the Biden administration‘s policies that allowed him to take time off from his Cabinet post.

Motherhood is such a beautiful thing

Paternity leave (for a lot of organizations that pay well and have great benefits, at least, as my experience informs) is paid and for up to 6 months IF you, the father, are a primary caregiver. 

So for gay dads, one of them can be designated the primary caregiver (Pete B., in this case I'm guessing) which then affords him all the rights and privileges set about in whatever his benefits plan allows.

So basically, the term Paternity/Maternity in the leave isn't important, it's more about who is the primary caregiver. And from guy friends who have taken 6 months off at full pay, I can tell you that there is no real investigation into whether the wife/mom isn't also taking time off or they are in fact doing the heavy lifting as the primary caregiver. I would never game the system like that due to ethics but there are those who take advantage of culture like that, believe it or not.

Has he suggested that injecting disinfectant into the human body might be an effective way of fighting the coronavirus? Has he suggested that nuclear weapons could be used to defeat hurricanes? Has he said that windmills cause cancer? Has he claimed to be a very stable genius?

”Person, woman, man, camera, tv.”

You’re an idiot. And nothing more than a parrot.

Admitting he had to take one is the newsworthy part, and why he was mocked, not that he passed.

Who gives a shit? Let's see how stuttering Joe does on one. Of course he will be shielded and protected from that by the left for the obvious reason that he would fail miserably.

I mean, if immortal left his Fox News/OANN bubble, Joe Biden did a townhall last week where he spoke about policy, in depth, for quite a while.  In fact, he was downright wonky as fuck.  And didn't tell anyone to inject themselves with bleach.

The irony of you making fun of another for an affliction is rich. 

It's really quite humorous to watch someone who lives in a bubble that refused to criticize Donald Trump claim the left is "shielding" Joe Biden. 

There's been endless articles about Joe's dropping approval ratings from the MSM,  his approval rating among Democrats is down nearly 10 points and the further left-wing media has absolutely turned on Biden for not getting it done yet on voting rights, infrastructure, social safety net, etc. 

But yes, they're really shielding Joe and not giving him a hard time!  It's all sunshine and roses.

Don't bring me into this assholes.

 

Maternity/paternity leave is an important topic.  An arguably more important one is the treadmill that our economic, fiscal, and social policies have created for American families over the past 60 years....

One of the morons I went to HS with, and who still hasn't escaped that small-town insular bubble, was plastering Facebook with "I'm so embarrassed for our country, did you see Joe Biden's town hall?" immediately following the broadcast.  When asked for examples of how poorly Biden performed, all he could come up with was Biden pausing before answering.  You know, kinda like that darkie Barack Hussein Obama.

So is that a sur-tax on pass thru income? or ???  WTF is "active business income for people"

Here’s something more for the average American. 
 

How it started

 

How it’s going 

 

Yes, it will probably be more expensive, they have to maintain those marvelous executive bonuses and dividends, and stock buy backs.   Y'all are truly lost if you don't think these companies all the way up and down the line aren't soaking everyone as much as possible.  

So have that trolls settled on this thread to be the one where they spread their misleading bullshit? It’s looking decidedly so.

You don’t even come close to making more than $200,000 a year spreading your bullshit on the net so you’re good.

Can we get some more sourcing on the $200k number? I googled "Biden tax $200k" and the first hits were all NYpost and WSJ lol

The pivot isn’t 200K is too much to make. The original take was we can afford to give everyone healthcare, but you might have to fly coach to Gstaad
