Friend just texted me a joke. You'll love it if you have't heard it...

Ready? Thread time!

Five surgeons are joking over drinks at a surgical convention.

The first from Florida., says "I like to see accountants on my operating table. Everything inside of them is numbered."
The second from Michigan said, "Yeah? You should try electricians. Everything inside of them is color-coded."

The third from California said, "No, I really think librarians are the best. Everything inside of them is alphabetized."

The fourth from New York said...
"You know, I like construction workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over."

But the fifth from D.C. said, "You're all wrong! Politicians are the easiest. There's no guts, no heart, no brain, no spine, and the head and ass are interchangeable."

Trump will be out-raised and outspent by the eventual Democratic nominee. Wall Street will overwhelmingly back Democrats, as was the case for the last two cycles, and so will Hollywood and Silicon Valley.

Rounded up, his donations are reported 99% low-dollar.
I don't know what some of you are disputing. Are you disputing Wall Street backs Democrats? Because they do. HRC got 80.8% of the total $108,807,888 via securities and finance. In 2018, Democrats got 62.8% of the total $91,338,283.
Even if Wall Street sits out 2020 because Bernie is the Democratic nominee, which they won't, it still leaves oodles on the table. While Trump raised more than all the top-tiers combined, it's not uncommon for big donors to hold their wallets early in a primary.

All 50 states & DC saw their avg. tax liability fall from 18.0% to 29.1%. D.C. saw the least decrease, and largest decline in avg. tax refund at 6.1%, while North Dakota saw the largest increase at 6.7% on average.

Also, UPDATE/ASSESS W-4s!
#TaxDay #TCJA
Tax liability in real dollars is down nearly $1,200 on avg. (as promised), but tax refunds were up avg. $43. That’s BC an average of $1,156 went into paychecks during the year, or about $50 for a biweekly paycheck starting in March of 2018.

So...
peoplespunditdaily.com/policy/2019/04… #TaxDay
So... everyone should make sure they reassess and update W-4s if need be, because w/ all 12 months impact, some could see refunds decline by $200 or more next year as less is taken from their paychecks.

But overall, #TCJA was a big net positive.

What @cher said will get someone on the right labeled a racist. Donald Trump never said all Mexicans, or even Mexicans in general, are racists.

That is #FAKENEWS.

Like I've said before, put them in their neighborhoods and it'll stop.
*Rapists.
Point being, it's okay to want to take care of your own neighborhoods and neighbors first. That may be the least cited founding principle of this country, which started as a collection of autonomous communities sharing in a national identity. There's nothing racist about that.

You this is politics but man must always have honor & respect for himself as a professional!
Earlier today DAWISU posted this video below.
Have it & enjoy it! Watch closely.
Then proceed to my next post!!!
I have never insulted DAWISU or call him names but today makes it the second time he is directly involving himself in an amateur unprofessional propaganda the first was the Dollar Videos!
Let’s assume RMK said it for a second!

But He went through the stress of picking an old unrelated video, blurring it, & doctoring audio file to match an Unmatched LIP SYNC.
Listen for yourself, I will post it all!

Q1. I haven't dated in a loooong time so it really was no reason for me to clean my apartment. Met a nice African brother and he spent the night. He used mango butter on his long locs, and he woke up with roaches all over his head/pillow. He won't return my texts. Help. #SBCCHAT
Q2. I work at a family-owned dental practice. After I got pregnant, my female boss began mistreating me, embarrassing me in front of patients, and hinting I would lose my job if I take off too many days. My Male boss--her husband--doesn't help me, & it's HIS CHILD. Help. #SBCCHAT

Good morning Twitter friends. I’m still in bed sick, but possibly on the mend at last after 4 days. Last night @tropigalia & @laura_luna asked me to do a #thread on the devaluing & misrecognition of #femme relationships so here we go.
First, if you don’t know what femme is, read this, this thread will still be here: bustle.com/articles/16608…
So to be clear, femme is a queer gender expression not tied to sex or gender identity. Femme is also not exclusively about appearance, but this thread will emphasize appearance bc I’m going to talk about the way femme relationships are read, thus based on visual cues.

A #thread about what has and has not worked for me since launching my first startup in Feb 2002 with my brother, striking some big deals, raising capital, losing money and rebuilding.

I hope you find it thought-provoking
We built some hype around @realvibez with our branded car, sponsoring events like Stages, ATI, Blink and Reggae Sumfest but we also knew that we had to be authentic - the website actually had to have the content on it
We did not want sugar-coated B.S. interviews so we focused on cold, hard truths when I asked questions.

Hence why I asked Collie Buddz about racism in this interview -

SO MUCH ADO ABOUT HSBC

#thread
People have been screaming about the exit of HSBC and UBS as sign of
bad economics. That's a huge lie. I will try to explain it in a very
simple way. HSBC and UBS were never set up for regular banking. When I say regular banking I mean retail banking.
They never ran salary
accounts; they were never set up to afford loans to customers etc.
Their sole purpose was to help customers who can afford their services
an easy way to transfer funds overseas.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
