The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

The journalists should do a collective "boo" or "shame" every time he does that.
Trump and his lackeys can either throw a tantrum and kick out the whole group or he can stop doing that shit because of how embarrassing it is to have an entire room call him out live on camera.

Fani Willis is an excellent illustration of the concept that MOST Americans are super-deferential to prosecutors to the point of ignoring their bad behavior, so long as the prosecutors are going after someone the Americans in question don’t like.

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.
Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

If somebody were really pissed off, they would have shot ICE. I can't be the person thinking the shooting was a false flag to distract from Epstein and to justify sending troops to DC.

Someone said don’t call MAGAs “Christian Nationalists,,” but call them Nationalist Christians, or “Nat-Cs” for short.
