Putting in Lindsey Graham’s sister is about as stupid as when they tried to put in John McCain’s wife. It’s not a political dynasty, it’s representation for the people.

@michaelmalice Okay, now this one is funny, malice’s other posts, not so much

Mitch McConnell is so brain damaged that he's taken the lead to be the 2028 Democratic nominee

@omgsidewalks Entrepreneurship, capitalism rewards entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs use capital to produce things, pay people, and expect a return for the risks they take. Many workers, no matter how skilled prefer a steady paycheck and are unwilling to take risks
English
If capitalism truly rewarded intelligence and skill, the richest people would be scientists, engineers, and neurosurgeons.
If it rewarded talent, artists, writers, and creators would be at the top.
If it rewarded hard work, cleaners, laborers, and service workers would be wealthy.
But they’re not. So what exactly does capitalism reward?

@Car_Free_USA @jebarne Mark, you have proof of your assertion? People have flocked to the suburbs ever since Levittown. Now, my kids love and live downtown big city, me, I like my yard and my pool. In America we can have both, and don’t have to listen to stuck ups like you demanding one over the other
English
@omgsidewalks You should look up Ben Franklin and his Union Fire Company and the Philadelphia Contributionship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss of Fire. Franklin would be surprised that you consider him a socialist, he wasn’t.

Lindsey Graham spent years questioning Joe Biden’s cognitive and physical health, mocking his age, and suggesting he might not make it another 4 months.
Now Graham is gone. Joe Biden is still here.
Sometimes life delivers the final fact-check on issues like these.

Lindsey Graham, July 7, 2024: “I’m worried about Joe Biden being president for the next 4 months.”

I don't want to tax the rich because I hate Elon Musk or I am jealous of Jeff Bezos. I want to tax the rich because Elon Musk has a trillion dollars and Jeff Bezos $255 billion and 266 million people are facing acute hunger while 2.1 billion people lack access to drinking water.

These cavalier pilots endangered American citizens, were suspended, and now Trump’s administration is unsuspending them and praising them.
Pathetic. They should all lose their licenses.
English
@adammocklerr I think it’s a good thing that celebrities fund “social services” because that way it is not such a political issue. Besides AOC says those celebrities didn’t earn their money and they should give freely to causes they support
English
You know the country is in a bad place when celebrities have to fund social services because the President won’t.

NEW: The water has turned brown at one of Trump's marquee beautification projects in DC at the Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park.

This is the Most Corrupt World Cup in History.

@Suzierizzo1 But it wasn’t, so mayor pete needs to propose a constitutional amendment to make the change, good luck. So his position is just political posturing

The 250th celebration that we deserved.
Harry Sisson@harryjsisson
Trump seen falling asleep during the fireworks in DC for America’s 250th. Incredibly embarrassing and concerning.
English
I don't know about you guys, but I'm really pissed that trump is so selfish and self-centered, he had to steal America's 250th celebration for himself, thereby completely ruining it.
Our only consolation is that we get to watch it fail spectacularly in every imaginable way.

@AZ_Brittney No, jack smith is a cellar dwelling swamp creature who used his position to practice lawfare on a political enemy. He is far from being a patriot
English
Jack Smith is what a real patriot looks like!
Who agrees? ✋

If a nurse gives a Senator $50 to vote for Medicare for All, it's illegal.
But Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, spent $45 million to get Trump elected. So Trump is helping his family control:
CBS
CNN
TikTok
HBO
TNT
MTV
BET
And more
That’s a corrupt campaign finance system.

@marlene4719 I don’t know, Abraham Lincoln did a pretty good job of alienating and dividing the country
English
No president in American history has worked harder to alienate and divide the country than you.
As a result, you are the most hated man not only in the US but worldwide.
English
@JoshEakle Maybe it’s because the Amish haven’t been known to shout Allahu Akbar while cutting off someone’s head. Could that be it? Just asking
English
Setting aside half the misinformation in this post, the Amish are also clearly a community that refuses to assimilate to American society.
And yet no one on the right seems to care. Curious.
Joe Rogan Podcast News@joeroganhq
''The Amish basically have no obesity, no infertility, no cancer, no diabetes, no metabolic syndrome. They’re having 10 plus kids and they’re incredibly happy.''

All the people you so lovingly list all have one thing in common—they work for an entrepreneur. The people with vision and a willingness to take risks. The people you list are generally risk averse. They probably make a good living, but are usually unwilling to take Musk type risks
English
Truly, If capitalism rewarded skill or intelligence, the richest people would be neurosurgeons, engineers, and scientists.
If it rewarded talent, it would be artists. writers, and creators.
If it rewarded hard work, it would be cleaners, laborers, and service workers.
But it's none of them.
