    Student loan interest is deductible. I added the response about the meals already, before you replied.

    Edit: both tuition and student loan interest are deductible if you're not a dependent or married (the latter should be changed).

    It doesn't matter how much of your expenses you write off, you're still taxed based on your income. Period. Stop acting like FF.

    Eventually, student loan interest becomes deductible. You don’t get to start writing it off as soon as get the loan.

    Sure, corporations get to deduct some meals, but you’re missing the point: Corporations get to write-off things that are vital for their survival, we don’t. A company writing off their utility bills is akin to us being able to deduct food costs.

    And you asserting it doesn't prove anything. I preempt in the vain hope of skipping ahead to something less stupid.

    Put me on ignore.
    Put everyone you don't like on ignore.
    See how many you have left.
    Be a nice little science experiment.
    :corn:

    Now here's where you say "ignore is for pussies".
    Then I say "so's whining, biatch :nyer:". :diacanu:

    Never said ignore was for pussies, either. YOU could put everyone on ignore and have the exact same conversations with your imaginary strawman caricatures.

    Tried that. Unfortunately you can’t put mods on ignore and I can’t make double threads in MC.

    Spot the weasel words. "Constant," so one example isn't enough. Dicknuckles thinking he's a clever bullshitter again.

    And no, I have no "fear or strong aversion" to the trannies. You must be invoking the more modern definition, to the effect of "ever says or does anything they don't like, or fails to praise unconditionally on demand."

    Well, some actual Fox names on there. Neat.

    But seriously, you do know that with actual conspiracies, the more people involved, the chances of there being a leak goes up, right? And with 61 people on that list, chances are one of them would have slipped.

    More importantly, I misread the last entry as 'Dan Quayle' :lol:

    Boy, for a guy who professes not to be a Trump fan, @Bill Carson sure likes posting memes in his defense.

    Trump: “ E=mc2”
    Federal Farmer: “I agree, this is one true thing that you’ve said.”
    We Are Borg: “why are you defending him you boot licking Nazi lover!! :ua:
    Federal Farmer: “ I’m not fending him or his actions, but what he said just now is true.”
    We Are Borg: “you’re defending him.”

    Bad example.
    This would be Trump repeating something someone else said (Einstein, in this instance), and you defending him as if he said it.

    This never happened literally or figuratively.
    Trump never drew a breath where he said something as uncontroversial as “ E=mc2” or "rain is wet".

    Your victim routine is full of fail and AIDS.

    The point is if Trump said something that is unequivocally true and I were to agree with him, that doesn’t mean I’m “defending” him.

    The point being, if you say you aren't guilty of theft, it doesn't acquit you of assault.

    Not him per se, but I assume @We Are Borg is referring to the meme I posted about the Durham report. We know that members of the FBI lied to a judge on the FISA court to obtain a warrant to spy on the Trump campaign. Something that Trump has said in the past.

    This. I'm convinced the man is incapable of telling the truth.

    And, if he ever did say something that was true, it was purely by accident.

    There's a rationalization that could easily be turned back in any number of directions .
