Saw the viral video going around of a bunch of white Christians singing Madonna‘s “like a prayer” as a praise song without realizing the lyrics describe a sex act and I think as Republican conservatives and white Christians they’d all be horrified to realize that the act described is consensual.

'50 years of giving the money to the wealthy people resulted in the poor people getting no money,' is not a terribly surprising result. 🤡

50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says

Tax cuts for the wealthy didn't boost the economies of the U.S. and 17 other countries — but they did worsen income inequality.

People always ask, "Where are all the liberal billionaires?" And surprise! LOL. There aren't any.

You don't become a billionaire by having a deep respect for the law and other people's rights.

There are those that donate to Democrats, obviously, the kind who prop up soulless minions of orthodoxy like Gavin Newsom.

But they have no interest in undermining their own oligarchical power, let alone building a liberal media, and even less in the voting rights of ordinary people.

I don't understand how anyone can be anything but outraged at the existence of billionaires. The whole concept is horrific.

Fearing Progressive Alternatives, Business Leaders Stay Loyal to Mayor Adams

Reluctance to speak out following the mayor’s corruption indictment stems from concerns about possible successors deemed unfriendly to private enterprise.

Capitalism is so efficient at allocating resources that Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook have spent billions of dollars on "AI," VR, and augmented reality headsets that cost too much, mostly don't work, and nobody wants.

It's amazing, really.

Harris/Walz will give fourth graders free lunches, while Trump/Vance will force them to give birth. — It’s as simple as that.
I think if you tell a lie so toxic that a network that had promised not to correct any of your lies nevertheless feels morally obligated to do so, the whole event should be paused while a giant red L is painted on your forehead and you should have to do the rest of the debate like that.
You know you fucked up when you forced a national news anchor to make a positive affirmation of truth as something that is more objectively correct, and therefore better, than lies—why, that's media bias! the very worst thing any news network can do in this age of modern journalism.

how dare you, I was told that I was allowed to tell racist genocidal lies during this debate and that is all I prepared

this is preposterous
