Phony Stark is who you'd get if you gave Beavis and Butt-Head a multi-billion dollar fortune. He's a juvenile delinquent with no self-control and an absolute belief that he's entitled to everything without consequence. (His Tesla car models are S, 3, X, and Y, which says it all, really. ๐)

The Trump administration wants more right-wing leaders in the Western Hemisphere. Lulaโs reelection throws cold water on the MAGA worldโs hopes of getting one in Brazil.

Our Founders understood that despite the relative success of their earlier efforts, the contest between liberty and despotism around the worldโand even in the United Statesโhad not ended. Let's not make them spin in their graves next Tuesday.

ICYMI: Tom Skerritt, the Emmy-winning actor known for roles in "Picket Fences" and "Top Gun," died last week at 93. Skerritt served four years in the Air Force and co-founded the nonprofit Red Badge Project in 2012 to help veterans heal from PTSD and find their purpose through storytelling.

When Donald Trump launched his campaign, he was caught hiring paid actors to pad the audience. (I also happened to be the one that busted him doing so). www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.
โBillionaires who popularized stock-based lending include Larry Ellison and Elon Musk. Both borrow to avoid having to sell sharesโwhich could trigger a taxes and dilute their voting rightsโin companies they founded.โ www.wsj.com/finance/the-...

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs donโt want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And thatโs cowardly as shit.

Obviously this is racist and gross, but it's also shockingly historically illiterate? No one who has taken a single high school world history course would deny that Arab culture has produced incredible science and literature. This is why we need basic humanities education.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Astonishing: Maxwell was willing to tell Blanche about some of Trump's rapes, and he ordered her not to. "Let's not talk about inviduals." WTF were they there to talk about? There's EVIDENCE on this.
This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."

I don't know that I buy the "everyone knows" excuse for the collective shrug. That reporter he yelled at seemed sincerely alarmed that he doesn't care about Ramaswamy exploiting a rape victim. Which suggests some folks still harbor the delusion that Trump thinks rape is bad.

Okay, I deleted the original post because people didn't check the link at all and mistook my typo of "young men" seriously. I clearly meant young women. Not sure why this isn't a bigger story, but I read this entire report today. It's gutting. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...
