This country doesn’t lack abundance. This country has a problem because a 0.1% of the population has hoarded wealth at historic levels that destabilizes everything and has done so with the assistance of the political class.

The Florida Legislature in a nutshell: A committee in the Florida Senate is debating a bill to roll back child labor laws at the exact same time as a committee in the Florida House debates a bill to let employers pay less than minimum wage to some workers.

If Brad Karp has any decency, he would resign from the firm he has dishonored. If Paul Weiss partners have any self-respect, they will do the same to protest this capitulation.

Today the biggest split among Democrats is between those who want to stand and fight and those who want to play dead. House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead. We need more leaders from the stand and fight wing of the Democratic Party.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

They think that there are so many left-leaning people in America because of Marxist professors and the like indoctrinating us. They seem to have forgotten that they have crashed the economy now four times in just my lifetime with their greed and avarice. That’s enough to be anti-capitalist.

I laughed so hard at this!

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.
