Bernie Sanders, campaigning with Graham Platner, mocks @elonmusk while pushing his bill for a "5% annual wealth tax" on billionaires (that is, confiscating assets whether they have chosen to sell them or not).
"If that bill were in effect this year, Elon Musk would pay 39 billion more in taxes... This confiscatory, terrible, drastic, radical piece of legislation would leave Musk with just $737 billion left to survive. Think he can make it on 737 billion? Yeah, maybe."
Of course, the key word here is "annual." What's left after 10 years? 20 years? And why is Bernie entitled to take those assets by force?

High school kid in Detroit pulls up to prom in a full military grade armored tactical truck. They drop a custom red carpet ramp and he steps out in a jewel encrusted white suit with a matching cape like he’s royalty.

UPDATE: Eric Swalwell blows $39K in campaign funds on mysterious luxury consultant AFTER allegations
Eric Swalwell spent nearly $39,000 in campaign money — between mid-April to mid-May — on a “luxury” transportation and security specialist, even after his campaign for California governor fell apart amid serious sex assault and rape allegations.
The payments went to Darly Meyer of CYD Global Car Service, a North Hollywood-based luxury chauffeur and executive protection service.
This comes on top of hundreds of thousands already paid to lawyers fighting the accusations.
Swalwell has denied the claims but admitted to extramarital affairs.
To be clear: After many of the accusations against him came out, Swalwell was allegedly still spending massive amounts of campaign cash on luxuries and lawyers.
Your tax dollars (and donor dollars) at work?
Are you surprised by this spending? Should Swalwell pay it back?

Eric Swalwell’s wife, Brittany, was spotted solo outside their $1.2 million D.C. home — noticeably not wearing her wedding ring. Her husband’s whereabouts remain unknown amid the ongoing scandal. Last month, Swalwell posted: “Those mistakes are between me and my wife, and to her I apologize deeply for putting her in this position.” Actions (or lack thereof) speak louder? What do you think is going on here? (Video: AI)

While I support the administration's efforts to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program, the White House and Pentagon have left Congress in the dark on Operation Epic Fury. In Louisiana, I’ve heard from people, including President Trump’s supporters, who are concerned about this war. Until the administration provides clarity, no congressional authorization or extension can be justified.
