Megyn Kelly: “Trump has cheated on every wife he’s had. He met Marla Maples while he was married to the mother of his children Ivana. Ivana accused him of raping her. She alleged he was so angry over the hair transplant he got that she made him get, it was so painful that he raped her. He winds up with Melania and if you think Trump’s been faithful to Melania, you’ve got bigger issues than I can solve”

His real objection is to the idea that the rich have incomes so large that they end up paying so much of the tax burden. What he wants is a world where the 'rich' are prevented from earning large sums in the first place. It is deeply illiberal in my view - and reflects a quasi-religious outlook. What you never get from Tony and from others with this view is any sense of how they can co-exist with those us who don't share their 'morals'.

Debunking Bezos’s nonsense that the rich pay most of the taxes. (He’s only talking about a narrow slice, the federal income tax). And these days are from 2019 - the rich even less today thanks to Trump.

Hasan Piker: “Jeff Bezos is nothing without all the labor that allowed him to become a billionaire. Jeff Bezos was unbelievably and immensely lucky at numerous points in his life. I’m sure he worked hard, but you know who else works hard? A fucking teacher, a nurse. Probably a lot harder than Jeff Bezos ever did”

"Don't maximize short-term profits, that's evil!" "Okay, we'll plow all our profits back into the business to build long-term." "You don't pay corporate tax, that's evil!"

How much money would rockstars make if they played in front of 24 people, not 24,000?

Does Bernie Sanders believe himself to be bribed with the over $200 million he’s received during his political career?

AI just killed higher education’s old teaching model. We need smaller classes and oral defenses for every paper—implying more faculty time, hence more professors. Since banning AI is unenforceable, written work alone can no longer be trusted.

Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate. Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd: -Give $12K to a working family of 4 -Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing -Guarantee universal childcare -Raise starting teacher pay to $60K And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.

The key here is that the goal of Soviet "socialism" was to weaken the United States of America, and the goal of American "socialism" is to weaken the United States of America
