Sounds like she shouldn’t have gotten divorced three times if she gave a fuck what Jesus said.
But the prosperity gospel types know they’re scammers, so she’ll laugh all the way to the bank.
So… Bring my HEV suit and crowbar?
I think it’s pretty naïve to think that oligarchs are benevolent, and at least we have a say on how government money gets spent.
What we have now is billionaires rigging the system in their favor; like I said, that kind of wealth disparity is inherently destabilizing to society, and they accumulated it through exploitation.
Finally, if the people could spend the money better than the government, why do we have taxes at all? It’s because there are things that we need to address as a society instead of relying on charity that may or may not come.
The change handed out by billionaires as philanthropy is PR to keep them from paying their fair share in taxes. Calling them a parasite class is completely accurate— they couldn’t have earned that much wealth without exploiting both the laborers who created it and the society that their extreme horde inherently destabilizes. If they paid their fair share in taxes, then their donations would be appreciated.
Which is why I said the media is lying for the Trump administration: this is the lie that the administration told, and the media repeats it for them.
The fact is that they didn’t give a fuck if they could deport him or not.
Saying he was “mistakenly deported” makes it sound like they cared one bit. There was no error; the judge issued an order asking for any evidence of that, and he got crickets back.
Then it seems that they should have left out “mistakenly” if they only report verifiable things that they can prove, including motives.
The media needs to not treat this as normal or blundering. MAGA know what they are doing: making this country intolerable to immigrants.
This isn’t a purity test, it’s criticism. That’s a perfectly fine thing to do.
The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration, was forced to move to a safe house with her children, after the government posted their home address to social media.
I really wish the media would stop lying for the Trump administration. It wasn’t a mistake, they deported him intentionally.
He only means his own.
Come on down to Crazy Pete’s intel emporium! We’re practically giving this intel away!
I don’t listen to the show very much, but I was tempted out of masochistic curiosity.
Dude is like a boomer Joe Rogan— he buys into the dumbest bullshit because he thinks being a contrarian is a cheat code for the truth.
Bill Maher is a textbook reactionary centrist: he’d sell out any minority for the sake of his own influence and pocketbook.
From the constant digs on trans people to the time he was ready to scab (until it became clear that it would diminish his influence), he’d step on every person he views as beneath him to get powerful people to think he’s smart.
And he’s not half as smart as he thinks he is— he ends up platforming the absolute worst people and letting them run rhetorical circles around him.
