The rich have been eating the poor as long as I can remember. When do we finally see the inverse? I'm sure there been studies about this... Right...?

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

It’s been a rough week for LA. Another heatwave, $7 gas, the president wanting to bomb us, and now we have a tropical storm penis heading to us!

Dear ChatGTB, how do I get rid of all the unhelpful AI crap that my phone has suddenly starting guiding me towards after my most recent OS update...asking for all my friends, I would never personally forsake you...

If Hurricane Dolly unleashes her fury and decimates Epstein Island and Mar-a-Lago, I think I'd be convinced there's actually a higher power at work in the universe. Hopefully not the CIA or some shit...

Medicare spends only 2% of its funds on administrative costs. Private health insurance spends 17% or 18%. Single-payer healthcare lets us put more money toward actually making people healthy instead of pushing paper and denying claims.

Stephen Colbert and David Letterman throwing things off the Ed Sullivan Theater. Colbert: “Anything you’d like to say, Dave?” Letterman: “In the words of the great Edward R. Murrow to CBS: ‘Good night and good luck, motherfuckers.’”

I'm shocked, SHOCKED! Well, not that shocked... They should make a meme for this...

NEW: Big surprise: all those arrest numbers Kash Patel rattles off when confronted with his nasty drinking habits, or using taxpayer dollars on his girlfriend, or polygraphing agents over missing bourbon - those arrest numbers are all bullshit. 1/ www.ms.now/news/fbi-ins...

Murray: “Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?” Dahl: Yes Murray: “And the rate for someone making $1,000,000? “ Dahl: 2.2% Murray: “So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184,000, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.”
