There's no better case for socialism than the world's first trillionaire being a massive loser who cosplays as his mom and baby online and lies about being good at video games in an attempt to give his life meaning.

Hunter Biden

Thanks I forgot: Joe Biden received 81 million votes. More than any candidate for President in the history of this country. It was a total landslide. A wipe out of historic proportions. He then went on to pass more bipartisan legislation than any President since LBJ. Conversely Donald Trump has not done much except start a war no one wanted doubled inflation expanded the trade deficit to historic highs and enriched himself and his family to the tune of billions of dollars.

If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today. Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.

If you earned $10,000 a day from the dawn of humans 300,000 years ago, you'd have earned less money than Elons wealth. Tax this shit out of billionaires (and one trillionaire)

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500. If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

Trump is once again talking about Kharg Island and saying we can take it "at a time of our choosing." He's not wrong. We can get troops on that island. But he's not telling you what happens next. Kharg Island is 16 miles off the Iranian coast. Iran has every square foot of it registered for artillery and rocket fire. They've spent the last three months laying anti-personnel mines on the beaches, pre-deploying shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles, and moving IRGC troops into hardened positions. They know we might be coming. Every one of our ships in our assault force is 47 seconds from an Iranian anti-ship cruise missile. Every Marine on that island is within rocket artillery range of a coastline that runs 1,500 miles. We can't suppress that effectively even if we used all of our forces I flew CH-53E helicopters in Desert Storm, and I know what it means to put troops in a fixed position on a small island with no room to maneuver and no friendly territory within reach. The military term for that is a kill box. The political term is leverage. The human term is a body bag. The analysts are being careful in how they are framing it. Ryan Brobst and Cameron McMillan of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, which is about as hawkish as think tanks get, wrote in March that a seizure and occupation "is more likely to expand and extend the war than it is to deliver any sort of decisive victory." Former CENTCOM commander Joseph Votel said troops on the island would be "very vulnerable" and would require massive logistical backup. Malcolm Davis of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute put it more plainly: "I think the Iranians can probably sit back and attack Americans on Kharg Island, and casualties will mount up." That's the politically correct version. Here's what they're not saying out loud: Iran has FPV drones. The same camera-equipped drones being used by the millions in Ukraine. If our troops land on that island, Iranian drone footage of American casualties will be on every screen in the world within hours. Trump will own every frame of it. Iraq bombed Kharg Island for four straight years during the Iran-Iraq War. From 1982 to 1986, but they never put a single soldier on it. They couldn't. The Iranians rebuilt and kept exporting oil. That's the historical record on what "taking Kharg" actually means. And here's the part that makes even less sense: seizing the island doesn't open the Strait of Hormuz. Kharg is 300 miles from the strait. The Iranians mine the strait from their southern coastline. You'd have to suppress 1,500 miles of Iranian coast to fix that problem. Kharg is just a political symbol, not a solution. We can bomb it into rubble. We've already struck over 90 targets there. Trump can destroy every oil facility on that island from the air, permanently. That's a real option with real consequences for Iran's economy and real consequences for global oil markets. But putting Americans on the ground 16 miles from the Iranian coast, surrounded by water, within range of everything Iran has left? That's not a strategic or tactical military operation. That's just a sacrifice of American lives. Are you OK with that?

My 2 cents on the last layup. There is no way any ref can keep up with that play and get in good position to make the call. Fox is too fast. We can argue whether Fox should have shot it or played for the foul. But we should also ask whether the official should have known that each team had a challenge left. So by calling a foul, the video review would allow them to get the call right I’m not blaming the ref for not taking this approach. Sprinting to get a look at the play was hard enough. But it would have been the right move The NBA should consider letting the refs ask for a challenge when they can’t get a good look at a play in the last two minutes. We often are asking them to do the impossible, like trying to sprint as fast as Fox on a breakaway When there is so much at stake, the refs want to get it right as much as everyone else does Trust the ref to use this only when needed and the game will be better for it

NEW @YahooSports: The late turnover. The ill-advised layup. The baffling decision to leave OG. The epic collapse confirmed a hard truth: the Spurs have a De'Aaron Fox problem. sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/as…
