Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you. If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment. Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

Possibly discuss PRIOR to starting war..?

So, they’ve been defeated.. but only our administration realizes this… totally rational

Consider How much good $200B could do in the world;… and this is just the beginning

@bgtennisnation @BigFish3000 @BillAckman Of all that’s happening, all the injustices(unauthorized troops sent to Iran over undeclared war, price of gas skyrocketing, and 100+ more).. Bernie having too much leg room is the problem

@BigFish3000 @BillAckman They spend taxpayers dollars 💸 and buy seat 💺 next to them so it’s open, and fly to one of of there numerous placers that somehow they can afford or there salary

AOC and Bernie Sanders will not pay TSA agents but fly first class on tax payers dollars. Agents make around 45,000 a year.

@kevin_nealon @jaketapper Lorne must not have cared that much; because Jimmy Fallon broke virtually every sketch ,and was on the show for 6 years

I never broke character on SNL. I knew how much time the writers put into those scripts. You don’t want to be the one who throws it off. Lorne doesn’t like when the cast breaks. Even if the audience laughs, it doesn't work for the sketch. If I could get through the Chippendales sketch, I could get through anything.

@brithume You been sleeping for 10 years?

This is the kind of stuff Trump does that makes people not just oppose him but hate him. There was no need to say anything.

@JamesMartinSJ DJT is christian? You feeling okay?

God help us. This is disgraceful language coming from a Christian, or anyone with a soul. It was just as wrong to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk as it is to celebrate that of Robert Mueller. May they rest in peace. And may we never forget that Jesus's message is about mercy.

@stephenasmith You been sleeping for 10 years bro?

See……this is the B.S. I’m talking about. This is a disgusting thing coming from our Commander In Chief — especially about a VETERAN and PURPLE HEART recipient. #DamnShameful!

@AlGruskin @CrackedRacquets @aztennisclassic Bonus- you are missing 105 temps at “tennis paradise” in IW

Sitting courtside for a JJ Tracy/Robert Cash doubles match?! Some things truly never change. Excited to watch the 2024 NCAA Doubles Champions take on Top Seeds Hugo Nys/Edouard Roger-Vasselin Perfect way to wrap up an insane @aztennisclassic Day🖐️

@VoodeMar @TennisPublisher The irony is, every stroke Meddy makes is an “unusual gesture”.. 😂

@TennisPublisher very bad call because Medvedev was continuing the rally after Draper's gesture; Medvedev is one of those few players who would do everything to manipulate umpires, on the other hand Draper cheated twice in more important moments of his 2024 matches (Kecmanovic, Auger)

Not sure I agree with that "hindrance" call on Jack Draper there against Daniil Medvedev

@christophclarey If he stops directly after Draper makes that gesture; hindrance then?

I was on court for this. Medvedev saw an opportunity and seized it. Should not have been hindrance

@TidbitsTennis @icefrostyman Not sure Alex is suggesting he is uniquely gifted among 50-100 players, just that he has potential. If that’s too broad an idea, then add your own insight.🤷‍♂️

@icefrostyman They're a dime a dozen and you could say that about SO many players. He completely missed WHY Nava can't reach his ceiling.

The problem with this tweet is that there are dozens of guys this applies to on the Challenger circuit. Talent and ball striking aren't the issues. The inability to separate himself is the issue. Can't write anyone off sure. This doesn't really tell us much though.

@Sunny_Jace @AlGruskin I was at the match, and to be fair the whole day was super windy!

@100blows @AlGruskin Oh my bad for some reason it didn’t pop up when I googled his atp profile

The vacillations in level are obviously frustrating...and yet simply refuse to write off any player capable of this sort of ball striking If he can just find the best version of himself, ceiling remains remarkably high for Emilio Nava

@Sunny_Jace @AlGruskin Lost to Borges in 2 TB’s first round

@AlGruskin Wait why didn’t he play Indian wells

@AlGruskin @Geoff_Chiz Watched him lose to Burges live at IW, same exact tale… with yelps of angst mixed in

Just experienced the Full Nava that last service game - Two inexplicable errors for 0-30. - Four breathtaking winners to hold for 6-5 in the second set A match filled with boomerang breaks (CC @Geoff_Chiz) as well. Pretty fun!!

Vance: " If you're worried about the world spinning out of control, if you're worried about a military draft, if you're worried about, God forbid, a world war, the best way to prevent it is to vote for Donald Trump."

Thanks @BNPPARIBASOPEN I had a blast #TennisParadise

"In my life, I have watched John Kennedy talk on television about missiles in Cuba. I saw Lyndon Johnson look Richard Russell squarely in the eye and and say, "And we shall overcome." I saw Richard Nixon resign and Gerald Ford tell the Congress that our long national nightmare was over. I saw Jimmy Carter talk about malaise and Ronald Reagan talk about a shining city on a hill. I saw George H.W. Bush deliver the eulogy for the Soviet bloc, and Bill Clinton comfort the survivors of Timothy McVeigh's madness in Oklahoma City. I saw George W. Bush struggle to make sense of it all on September 11, 2001, and I saw Barack Obama sing 'Amazing Grace' in the wounded sanctuary of Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina. "These were the presidents of my lifetime. These were not perfect men. They were not perfect presidents, god knows. Not one of them was that. But they approached the job, and they took to the podium, with all the gravitas they could muster as appropriate to the job. They tried, at least, to reach for something in the presidency that was beyond their grasp as ordinary human beings. They were not all ennobled by the attempt, but they tried nonetheless. "And comes now this hopeless, vicious buffoon, and the audience of equally hopeless and vicious buffoons who laughed and cheered when he made sport of a woman whose lasting memory of the trauma she suffered is the laughter of the perpetrators. Now he comes, a man swathed in scandal, with no interest beyond what he can put in his pocket and what he can put over on a universe of suckers, and he does something like this while occupying an office that we gave him, and while endowed with a public trust that he dishonors every day he wakes up in the White House. "The scion of a multigenerational criminal enterprise, the parameters of which we are only now beginning to comprehend. A vessel for all the worst elements of the American condition. And a cheap, soulless bully besides. We never have had such a cheap counterfeit of a president* as currently occupies the office. We never have had a president* so completely deserving of scorn and yet so small in the office that it almost seems a waste of time and energy to summon up the requisite contempt. "Watch how a republic dies in the empty eyes of an empty man who feels nothing but his own imaginary greatness, and who cannot find in himself the decency simply to shut up even when it is in his best interest to do so. Presidents don't have to be heroes to be good presidents. They just have to realize that their humanity is our common humanity, and that their political commonwealth is our political commonwealth, too. Watch him behind the seal of the President of the United States. Isn't he a funny man? Isn't what happened to that lady hilarious? Watch the assembled morons cheer. This is the only story now." - Charles Pierce

It’s a pity half the country dislikes communicators who are too articulate . I’ll never get it.
