Never underestimate the human capacity for stupidity. Please don’t give money to your enemies. And for the love of god don’t support Nazis.

I’ve decided to stop supporting a man worth more than two hundred thousand million dollars who decides his bottom line is more important than the democracy that helped him become worth more than two hundred thousand million dollars.

There’s always a price to pay for being right.
it brings me no pleasure to say this, but gen alpha will make the same mistake as millennials. they will abandon high rise trousers and adopt skinny, low rise pants, deeming the first to be too "old" and the second "young." then their children will rightly mock them.

It's best to understand that fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It's how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied.

It's not an inconsistency. It's very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Keeping telling yourself you're a good guy by signing on to an absurdly false anti-Jewish libel. "Systematic extermination of a minority group." Sure.

I once stated that GW was my favorite historical figure. My friends, expecting a more exotic answer, were somewhat disappointed with my choice. GW was a man of remarkable integrity and discipline, and perfect for leading a new nation (yes, he regretted slavery). He’s worthy of our admiration.

Genuinely shocked at a rule-of-law based result from this Court.
NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
