Trump won because of a post-covid inflation spike CAUSED BY TRUMP and is now using the new power he has to cause ANOTHER INFLATION SPIKE. This cycle has been true of every Republican President since Reagan. Trump is simply the most corrupt and stupid of the lot.

Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

I don't know if the LA fire department is properly funded or not but the claim that the city cut its budget last year — which is circulating widely on the right — is false. As Politico notes, the budget actually INCREASED by $50 million. A portion of the funding was approved in a separate bill.

Just so we’re clear what just happened: Republicans tore apart their funding agreement with Democrats after Elon Musk told them to. They created a new bill that defunded child cancer research. And then they failed to pass that bill too.

It was never about email security with Hillary. Never. The press turned her minor mistake on email security into the biggest story in the world FOR PROFIT. When we say the press is to blame for the rise of fascism in America, this is what we mean. www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

THIS! Biden just commuted nearly 1,500 sentences—the largest grant of clemency by a president in a single day ever. He’s also the first to pardon those convicted of simple marijuana possession and former service members convicted of violating the military’s former laws against homosexual conduct.

I think my longest held, most controversial opinion is that should practically outlaw billionaires by creating a 100% marginal tax rate for income after $1B. Use that money to pay for universal healthcare and public college. Reduces income inequality and provides free, basic services.
