If you describe what is occurring in the US as a “coup” or “fascism,” or refer to the elected government as a “regime” (left or right), I have deep contempt for you.
Your cosplaying as oppressed makes light of the suffering of those who have lived under actual authoritarianism.

There is no way that $50 billion can do what Markey claims, and the only explanation for this tweet is a Mara Gay-like facility with basic math.
A 5% tax on Elon’s net worth would fund every community health center in America for the next 26 years.
I’ll say it again. Tax the rich.

If you are making light of the suffering caused by Russia and Qatar to own your domestic political opponents, you are a piece of trash.

From @TheAthletic: It wouldn’t be a World Cup without a problematic host. Russia in 2018. Qatar in 2022.

Knicks showed remarkable resilience and absolutely deserved to win.
But consistent collapses like this are also due to a coaching failure by Johnson.
Game 1… Spurs led Knicks by 14.
Game 2… Spurs led Knicks by 12.
Game 4… Spurs led Knicks by 29.
Game 5… Spurs led Knicks by 16.
Spurs lost all 4 of these games.

Not to be this way, but if you want this to make any sense, you should say “your boss taking 83% of your labor value.”
Then again, if you understood this, you wouldn’t be subscribing to the labor theory of value.

“I’m mathematically and financially ignorant. Listen to my views on economics” is a very strange line of argumentation, but it is very popular at the moment.

If you want to highlight their undeniable success, fine. But The Bulwark is not a site for the “politically homeless.” It is an explicitly liberal site by and for liberals and to say otherwise is delusional.

Khanna has an estimated net worth of $232 million.
He is doing nothing to give it away despite calling wealth inequality a “moral failing.”
Musk is worth more than South Africa’s GDP. @BernieSanders and I proposed a 5% tax on people like him.
In one year, it could fund:
- free public college & trade school
-$10/day childcare
- Special-needs education nationwide
Wealth inequality is the moral failure of our time.

The only people who talk like this are the financially illiterate.
Which also explains why they subscribe to the Scrooge McDuck theory of billionaires.
Many people need to hear this.
The only people the rich 'create wealth' for is themselves.
This is why despite the US getting 40x richer in the last 50 years, you are poorer than ever.

To follow up:
If you walk into a tattoo parlor displaying the totenkopf as an option, you’ve walked into a Nazi tattoo parlor.
And that means they are also displaying the swastika as an option.
And that should lead you to ask, “is the skull & crossbones also a Nazi symbol.”
Jun 10
Your periodic reminder that one gets a totenkopf tattoo only because he or she doesn’t find a swastika “Nazi enough.”

So even if you refuse to accept all reporting indicating that Platner knew what the tattoo was, commonsense tells you he knew at the time he got it.

“In some ways” is a pretty good indicator that whatever follows relies on abusing language or frivolous claims.
I mean, in some ways, Americans did all work together to build SpaceX. It would not exist without NASA and public subsidies, public funding and government contracts.

As I said, if you aren’t watching the World Cup on Telemundo, you really are missing out.

Having been chastened by his foray into defended a Nazi-insignia emblazoned rape apologist as a “good, decent man,” Favreau returns to his strong suit: making shit up.

Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.
History's first trillionaire.

Remarkable statement by General Donovan, Commander of @Southcom. Thanking the “Venezuelan security forces” for the take down of the leader of Tren de Aragua. The level of cooperation b/w the US military & the FANB is incredible, particularly if we remember that before January 3rd the FANB’s operational posture were linked to Russian supply & equipment, & was intimately involved in aiding illicit networks not combating them. @delcyrodriguezv & Co., and the FANB have shifted rapidly to accommodate & cooperate with the US. #Venezuela

“We extend our gratitude to the Venezuelan security forces for their support to the successful joint operation against a Tren de Aragua compound that resulted in the death of the narco-terrorist organization’s leader Hector Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, alias “Niño Guerrero.” Guerrero was a wanted fugitive charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with ordering, directing, and facilitating acts of terrorism and violence in the United States.” - #SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan

I could afford to see my doctor much easier before Obamacare passed.

But taxing wealth so normal people can afford to see a doctor and not go bankrupt over inhalers is radical left. OK

Appiah in the Chronicle, on the Vanderbilt Rpt: "If conservatives don’t feel comfortable around us liberal academics, that’s their problem." His own dept's policy: "The dept places great importance on maintaining a ...supportive environment for all...regardless of background."

I’ve told the story before, but I had a super supportive, quite liberal dissertation advisor. He was aware of my tilt and seemingly didn’t care.
One day he accidentally cc’d me on an email discussing “the only good conservative.” It was not me.
