Reminder of what a huge sucker you are if you voted for Trump to "shake up the system."
You voted for the people who already have the power and the money.
They're not going to share it. They're going to take more from you. You gave them permission.

- Most existential questions have no clear answer. What is my purpose in life? What happens after I die? Is there a higher power guiding my destiny? Does my dog have a soul? Other "existential questions," however, are answered by 2 U.S.C. §§ 192 & 194. Compliance is mandatory.Hope Hicks, one of the best-known but least visible former members of President Trump’s White House staff, is facing an existential question: whether to comply with a congressional subpoena nyti.ms/2I329XZ
- Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them.(AP) — President Donald Trump abruptly fires Air Force Gen. CQ Brown Jr. as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. apnews.com/article/trump-… ift.tt/7iAplga
- Replying to @GovernorKayIveyAlabama has a 12% premature birth rate, third worst in the US, and an infant mortality rate of 7.4/1000, fifth worst in the US. Most of Alabama's counties don't have a hospital with obstetrical services. If "every life is precious" to you, why aren't you fixing that?
- So, about Alex Jones. 1) In the Sandy Hook lawsuit, he's asked to produce emails. 2) He does, but his counsel doesn't review any of them, they just dump them on the plaintiffs. 3) The plaintiffs' consultants see child pornography. They contact the FBI, as they should. /1
- If crime has been so thoroughly rooted out that the cops have the time to search the room of a stage 4 pancreatic cancer patient, then they need their budget cut.
- Congressional Research Service—which is nonpartisan, independent, and highly-respected—just published a report that dismantles claims that the GOP tax law is doing much good for the economy. everycrsreport.com/reports/R45736… Here are some quotes…
- Replying to @AJA_CortesHow To Find A Beautiful Woman -Take criteria you have to impress other men and throw them away -Treat women with respect not in the hopes you might get sex but because it's kind, it's decent, it's right -Find a woman who loves you for you and you love her for her -There she is
- On the top of this large-font list of stupid and dishonest soundbites, Trump hand-wrote two reminders: "ALCAIDA" "SOME PEOPEL"
- Replying to @AlanDershStatutory rape laws criminalize the perpetrator's conduct, not the victim's. Thus, the question is: does the adult perpetrator have a constitutional right to have sex with a minor? The victim's rights don't change the answer, which is and should be "absolutely not."
- I've seen criticism of "like 10 people." The ten richest Americans are worth $730 billion. The fourteen richest American families (excluding the Koch brothers, so no double-counting) are worth $511 billion. Together, they're worth more than 60% of Americans combined.Replying to @AOCWhen we say “tax the rich,” we mean nesting-doll yacht rich. For-profit prison rich. Betsy DeVos, student-loan-shark rich. Trick-the-country-into-war rich. Subsidizing-workforce-w-food-stamps rich. Because THAT kind of rich is simply not good for society, & it’s like 10 people.
- Looking at her list, @SenWarren could've made more -- much more -- if she hadn't been so selective, if she hadn't stuck to work consistent with her principles. The vast majority of her work was standing up for consumers and small businesses. /1
- When I find out someone is a racist, I note my vehement objection to their views by hosting a private fundraiser for them at my mansion in the Hamptons, for which tickets cost from $5,600 to $250,000, depending on how much access you want to the racist, whose views I reject.While #Dolphins owner Stephen Ross supports Trump's 2020 re-election efforts, he does not support Trump's views on race, a source close to Ross tells the @SunSentinel sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-d…
- Replying to @MattWalshBlogInstead of taking the child to a healthcare professional who would safely treat her and report the abuse, the rapist will beat her, starve her, and poison her until she miscarries. Don't pretend you're doing something good for rape victims. You know you're not.
