Where sacrificing everything means leaving office and getting a multimillion dollar gig on K Street and a bunch of board seats for defense contractors. I'm weeping for them

The problem isn't capitalism. The problem is our lack of morality and caring for our fellow citizens. Socialist countries like Sweden and Norway are capitalists with deep caring for the welfare of individuals in the state nordics.info/show/artikel...

Think about it as a DOGE government efficiency challenge. Instead of chasing down tens, hundreds or thousands of illegal workers, most of whom pay taxes but receive no benefits you just have to arrest and deport one CEO, most of whom pay almost no taxes and receive huge benefits

Way more worried about MAGA brownshirts pouring out of a U-Haul than anyone headed on to the D train in Brooklyn

This is great but here's what happens next. The pricing of weapons of war from the US military industrial complex is based on their production volume. When the world buys less the American taxpayer pays more. A lot more. We'll see the defense budget balloon because we have to feed the beast

Tapper's book is no better or worse than Woodward's book on Trump. Good stuff to know but far too late to know it. Both showed they were gutless shills milking their aging reputations to make a buck without risking their positions

Let's be honest. When you outsource the drafting of virtually all Congressional bills to lobbyists and PACs you end up with a tome too large and complex for anyone to read in detail. You then rely on staffers to interpret who now rely on ChatGPT to summarize it. It's a complete sham
