If we are talking Federal only at current rates, for MFJ it is almost exactly the top of the 24% bracket a taxable income of $394,600.  At that taxable income your federal tax would be:
  • 10% of the first $23,850 or $2,385
  • 12% from $23,851-96,950 which works out to $8,772 for a cumulative total of $11,157
  • 22% from $96,951-206,700 which works out to $24,145 cumulatively $35,302
  • 24% from $206,701-394,600 which works out to $45,096 cumulatively $80,398. 


Pre-tax income that year was much higher.

We donated about $25K to charities (good) and we paid very heavy in SALT (bad).

PJ O'rourke's book by that title is, still, hilarious reading.

what makes it all even way more pathetic and far worse is his son Don Jr, his deputy director of the FBI, and FBI director were droning on about Epstein for the last 3-4 years and about how all the files need to be released- and the head of his DOJ had a little PR stunt photo op giving away "Epstein Phase I" binders to MAGA social media influencers with nothing but rehashed docs from civil cases and said like two months ago she has thousands of video tapes and files to review and she'll release them all- now apparently nothing. these idiots put the proverbial foot in their mouths and now acting like no big deal here nothing to see move along....lol.

Trump himself barely spoke on this and never spoke strongly one way or the other about Epstein disclosures and was very non-committal, but this here is a total joke.

I mean they aren't even making a real effort here to sweep the thing under the rug in a plausibly deniable way. it's laughable, lazy, and beyond pathetic. they'd be better off just admitting they are sweeping this under the rug for national security purposes to protect the CIA and Israel.

this strikes me as the musings of someone who knows very little about the topic at hand.

Jeffrey Epstein was full-stop, 1000% an intelligence access asset- I would bet mine and every person on this boards life on it. His connections and background all point to Mossad and the fact that he was given an absolutely fucking insane completely unheard of in history NPA deal in 2008 by Alex Acosta at DOJ- which Acosta later said on record he only gave said deal because he was told Epstein and I quote "belonged to intelligence" suggests CIA was in on the jig. All of Acosta's incoming emails at DOJ in the 11 month window he was handling the Epstein case by the way miraculously disappeared and are poof....gone forever....lol. What a coincidence! Just like the guards falling asleep and the cameras having issues in the most secure prison in NYC...lol. Damn.

Never mind the actual details of the suicide are sketchy. Dr. Michael Baden a world renowned forensic pathologist- who has reviewed over a thousand jail hanging suicide cases in NYC prisons over the last 50 years says he has never found a single case in which there were 3 fractures in a victims neck- two to thyroid cartilage and one to the hyoid bone. Baden says hyoid bone fracture is more consistent with strangulation- and to have one fracture is rare but can occur in hanging, to have two is extremely rare, and to have three is beyond rare are basically impossible/unheard of. Not to mention the ligature mark from the supposed noose was at the base of the neck- not near the top of the neck angled up into the jaw. Not to mention there was no blood found on the supposed noose but there was blood on the neck. Baden concluded all of this adds up to a strangulation, not hanging. But hey, what would he know? He's just one of the most famous forensic pathologists in the world- and all of these coincidences surrounding Jeffrey Epstein are just that, right- coincidences.

Newsflash: there was never going to be anything grotesque to pin on one side or one opponent, because the operation infiltrated both sides of the aisle and implicates the very most powerful and elite people in US society. Much of the evidence had already been destroyed and this thing is being cleaned up and swept under the rug to not only protect the powerful implicated but more importantly to protect the institutions aka intelligence agencies and to protect US special relationship with it's supposed-to-be-vassal but in reality it's master, Israel.

Add all of this up and throw in Trump's connections to Epstein (the guy is on audio tape saying he and Donald used to be best friends for nearly a decade and Trump is on his flight logs at least 7 times) - none of this shit was ever going to see the light of day. This is what you would call, a cover up.
I guess if one wants to strongly believe the current admin is protecting kiddie fuckers in its ranks, that’s cool.

I’ll remain skeptical of such highly organized conspiracies, but maybe our presidential admins are super, super competent as hiding things (or looking like dipshits when playing to the conspiracy stuff).

The disbelief about a prison death will always strike me as people wanting to believe something. People salivate at the idea of people in prison being subject to violence and other terrible treatment. That’s especially true for sex creeps. So a wealthy non-tough guy in line to spend a long time being brutalized in government custody? Seems like a top candidate to off himself.

how vapid and meaningless is the term terrorist? US State Dept. today revokes terrorist designation from Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (Al-Qaeda's Syrian branch) from it's official foreign terrorist organizations list.

They control Syria now and are playing ball and doing our biding and are working with us instead of against us now so they are no longer terrorists anymore I guess.

reality: they are still full blown Sunni extremist terrorists, doing terroristy things like beheading and slaughtering al-awite and christian minorities in Syira.

can't make this shit up. lol.

as stated previously, this strikes me as someone who knows very little about the man himself or the topic at hand.

the administration isn't protecting "kiddie fuckers" in it's ranks, as you so eloquently put it. it is protecting the US governments preeminent intelligence agency- and therefore the institution of the US government itself- and it is also protecting it's special relationship with it's special supposed vassal-protectorate which in reality is master and not servant.

what do you think would happen if the government of this country admitted that it knowingly aided, funded (Epstein's entire source of wealth is a giant mystery), and abetted a pedophile (pressured Acosta into cutting that ludicrous NPA deal) to prey on hundreds of American children in order to run intel ops with it's partners in Israel. yeah, the American public would fucking go berserk and start turning over the tables at temple like Jesus. that truth is a major threat to the entire foundation of the system and to the society. much easier to just sweep it under the rug and let the simpletons such as yourself to buy into the cover up immediately and for the rest of the general sheeple public to just forget about it in a week and move on to the next thing.
