I would like an economist to show us the graph where wealth finally becomes “fuck-you money,” then somehow curves back into “I’m a little bitch” money. Because all these billionaires seem to be either cowards, villains, or villainous cowards.

Republicans always do this. They claim to be the fiscally responsible ones while running up a massive debt. Well, protest and non voters who gave us Trump. Are you surprised that it happened again? Now if we do vote Trump out you will complain "why can't you fix everything?" Reread carefully.
Trump’s need to gold-plate everything reminds me of Saddam Hussein’s gold AK. Trump is a gold-plated AK pressed to Democracy’s head. The barrel is hot, and Democracy is already bleeding out from several massive wounds. Emblazoned across the barrel: “I alone can fix it.”
There are already a bunch of damned useful idiots online trying to be defeatist about the next election. That is what Trump and the GOP want: capitulation. Don’t be lazy fucking cowards. Remember what happened to Orbán AND VOTE! Get your friends and family out to vote. MAKE IT TOO BIG TO RIG!
Jesus was the worst farmer ever: Ruined his figs. Killed all the pigs. Waited until Judgment Day to separate the wheat from the chaff. Attacked the bankers who would have funded his tractors. Disappeared for three days during harvest claiming to be dead tired.
Abolishing ICE would not necessarily reduce public safety. Its actual criminal investigations could be transferred to the FBI, DEA, ATF, CBP, or local police. What is unique to ICE is immigration enforcement, and immigration enforcement is not the same thing as public safety. #AbolishICE
“It is reckless to compare Trump to Hitler,” says someone purposefully misunderstanding the comparison. The comparison is to Hitler in 1933, not 1942. 33, when he was trying to crush every institution that limited him. Don’t be cute. You already knew that, you goose-stepping brownshirt asshole.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon swears in new civil rights division lawyers at the DOJ. Because nothing says “we care about civil rights” quite like only hiring white people.
I really enjoyed the Slow Horses books. Like cheddar, English humor is often best dry and sharp. The writing is clever and well crafted and the plots are interesting. The characters were distinctive and memorable and some of them ended up quite dead so the author keeps you on your toes. #BookReview

I think the whole DSA thing is confusing for most people because I think many people on the left conflate Democratic Socialism and Social Democrats. Personally, I'm more of a Social Democrat. I think markets are fine when used as tools to be used when appropriate and discarded when not.
I just saw someone refer to Donald Trump as “Pervert Hoover” and now I can’t stop laughing. 😂😂😂😂
The Earth is flat. But I’m very attached to its TITANIC bubble butt.
The market is not the economy. Corporations are not people. Prices are not values. Growth is not prosperity.

My brain did not know that foreword and forward were two different things. I thought foreword was just an alternate, perhaps British, spelling of forward. I’ll put this anecdote at the beginning of a book someday. Spelling is not my strong soot.
Fascist Fashion Police: "You’re under arrest for putting men in skirts!" Suspect: "I’m innocent! That was a belted blouse. I haven’t kilt anyone."
What flavor are you? The Leopard’s favorite. How do I know? Everyone is. Protest voters aren’t eaten last. To that great cat, we baa and bleat. The time to choose has come and passed. Your wasted vote just means we’re meat.
