Five years after the U.S. Capitol attack, some Senate Democrats are introducing new legislation to prevent taxpayer money from being awarded to convicted and now-pardoned rioters.
One of the new Senate bills, reviewed Tuesday by CBS News, would outlaw the establishment of any compensation fund to award money to rioters. Another piece of legislation would prohibit the use of federal tax money to pay for civil legal settlements against Jan. 6 defendants who were convicted of assaulting police.
The latter of the two bills is titled the "No Settlements for 5 January 6 Law Enforcement Assaulters Act." It is sponsored by Sen. Alex Padilla, a California Democrat who serves as vice-chair of the Senate Rules Committee, which has oversight of the Capitol grounds and the U.S. Capitol Police. The legislation is also sponsored by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Here is the deal:
Deal:
Which scenario is an example of survivorship bias in evaluating business success?Deal: Veghead claimed he already answered this question. LOL. If Veghead proves that he did indeed answer the survivorship multiple choice question below, as the question is written and asked, along with his defense of his answer, then I will agree to never come back. I am permabanned. Gone. Like a fart in the wind. If he cannot, then he is out of here for a month. Additionally, his defense cannot be "Because it fits my definition." That is a claim, not a defense. He is to defend why. His evidence must precede the timestamp upon when this challenge has been agreed upon by both parties. Moreover, he must answer immediately when the mods say "go," That next post. Not the next 600 posts. Either Cannon or Deezer mods.
Exception: I will allow for an exception. If he loses, then I will allow him to stay if he answers it the way it is asked, along with his defense. However, he must do it immediately after the deal has been decided. Not 100 posts later. The very next post of his must be his answer/defense.
A) Believing that reading business books increases revenue after finding many CEOs recommend them.
B) Concluding that most startups fail after analyzing bankrupt companies.
C) Thinking entrepreneurship is easy because most media profiles focus on successful founders.
D) Surveying customers to understand why they chose your product over competitors

I am pretty sure that he doesn't give a **** about your whimpering.
Anyone with half a brain would have figured that out by now.

That's a little late after the accusations of billions in fraud from blue states. (And I'm sure red states also)
No one will remember this lame attempt to save taxpayer money.

Oh please. That is an easy resolve. It doesn't take deleting my posts to make a dent.
Besides, he is probably just as sick of your incessant evasions and cowardice as everyone else.

Listen BV...we have moved away from that little "Summer of Love" event where a police officer shot an unarmed woman. We are moving on to much bigger things like taking care of Americans first and ensuring that the citizens of Venezuela are being taken care of TRUMP/ Musk. We are ensuring, right now, that the oil reserves and other valuable minerals are secured from the world's bad apples.̶B̶l̶a̶c̶k̶v̶e̶g̶e̶t̶a̶b̶l̶e̶

Venezuela holds the largest oil reserves on Earth and one of the world’s richest concentrations of gold, diamonds, iron ore, bauxite, and rare‑earth minerals, especially in the Guayana Shield region.
Right now, Venezuelans are celebrating America and TRUMP.
