I'm sure that a chastened Congress will start working on a massive wealth tax and 90% tax brackets for high earners tomorrow morning, if they don't decide to work through the night.

We're all trying to find the guy who did this ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

He had to return to his classic form in his final moments as president

There was a Shrill tweet from back when Shrill was still around on Twitter, when DeBlasio was saying something about this or that aspect of life in New York being impossible, where Shrill said:
"You are the mayor.
*You* are the mayor."
and I think about that tweet frequently.

Anyway yeah it's a shame nobody in a position of influence saw fit to actively prosecute and imprison the wealthy powerful guy who recently committed some pretty big crimes, I imagine that would have helped shake things up a bit.

Oh yeah that guy should definitely tell the President

This is like the fox warning the chickens about other foxes.

If only we'd had someone like him in office for the last 4 years. Maybe we coulda dine something. Oh well...... oh well....

Sorry for bringing stuff over from the other network but I constantly remembered this tweet over the past years

It’s so painfully accurate. I think this shit used to work until Trump became president first time round and basically just did whatever he wanted by executive order and showed everyone it was always possible lol

They did their best

By the way, the rich are in power, okay that'll be all see you later.

Reminds me of Eisenhower warning of the military industrial complex

Remember Harris’s vigorous campaign against oligarchy? So inspiring.

Democrats have to stop trying to save the world. Start by being strategic, a bit hard headed and regroup. Make life in the political world as hard as possible for GOP.

concerning.

Yes. But we blew our opportunity to do something by electing a monster.

He’s right about contemporary robber barons. That the United States and Israel are allies makes us complicit in war crimes. I left my heart in Cape Town in 1990 so I am especially proud of South Africa bringing the lawsuit in the International Court of Justice.

I think their plan is 'we'll get right on it in 2029 as long you plebs don't let us down again'?
