Jared Kushner should have filed a financial disclosure weeks ago. He should be resolving his conflicts of interest. Instead, he's steering foreign policy while taking billions from foreign countries. It's outrageously unethical.

@Dlstoke As usual the answer is racism. These people think: D = social safety net = wasting money keeping nonwhite people alive = bad

How did Republicans manage to pull this myth off for so many years after Bill Clinton was the first president in a generation to balance the budget and leave a surplus?

Most Nazis didn’t think they were fascists. They thought they were patriots. Sound familiar?

I think Americans having to fight traffic everyday and drive everywhere creates chronic cortisol spikes which contributes to American's health issues and lower life expectancy vs. European countries.

@SJcritic @n_e_rd It wasn’t tho

@n_e_rd It’s like people who name their kids Paris, not realizing the city of Paris was named after someone.

When I named my cat after a Greek god I didn’t expect almost everyone to assume I named him after a damn ass purse company and frequently try to correct the pronunciation when I say my own cat’s name. “Do you mean air-mez?” No, I mean HERMES. God of messages and trickery!

@reasnottodateme @patneedham_ @brian_armstrong I am amazed that all of the replies to this question included even this one female author. Usually there are zero.

@patneedham_ @brian_armstrong Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. You’re welcome.

A few good books worth reading: - Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand - a classic that celebrates builders. Once you read it, you’ll notice the same characters and events taking place today. - The Changing World Order by Ray Dalio - great for understanding how civilizations rise and fall and how crypto can help create better countries. - From Third World to First by Lee Kuan Yu (founder of Singapore) - talks about building a new country, worth reading for understanding nation-building.

The only way the US has a snowball’s chance in hell of doing this is if, like there, all the recipients are guaranteed to be white

@graceyldn I increase my rate of walking speed and shout “NO THANK YOU” while never making eye contact. Feel very rude but literally nothing else stops them following

What’s the equivalent of “I have a boyfriend” to those charity muggers that hang around train stations or town centres?

Hasan Piker: “If you steal from the poor, you become rich. If you steal from the wealthy, you go to prison. There’s only one direction where you can do unlimited theft. Wage theft is the most consequential amount of theft that takes place in the United States of America”

@Levis_Momm @belbers1 @latino__veritas @PrayTheRosary IT DOES NOT.

@smlyc @belbers1 @latino__veritas @PrayTheRosary That verse applies to both. Godly wives dress modestly

Someone in America needs to start a men's only gym chain. As a Catholic man that needs to lift and do cardio for physical and mental health, it's a war to keep custody of my eyes every single time. Women do not wear appropriate clothing. It's gross.

Reading the entire Bible and broadcasting it to the entire nation while actively taking food, healthcare, clean water, clean air, shelter, due process, and basic human dignity away from people is the exact kind of religious hypocrisy Jesus raged against.

James Carville: “How many people in this country do you think know that 18% of the country elects 52 senators? The answer is not very many. How many people know that in the last 9 presidential elections, the Democrats have won 7 in the popular vote?”

Peter Thiel funded a lawsuit that destroyed Gawker for publishing private information about him. He also co-founded Palantir, which sells mass surveillance infrastructure to governments worldwide. His privacy: litigated and protected. Yours: a product line.

@xevekiah Omg it’s so exhausting … every single fkn time this topic comes up, here come alllll the men, filling up the thread like a diaper - all obliviously proving the point

"If you were stuck in the woods, would you rather find yourself alone with a man or a bear?" Women immediately and without hesitation: A bear. Men bitching about women picking the bear: you would not pick a fucking bear you liar. A quote I heard someone (itzkenny via TikTok) say in response to these type of men: "This is a hypothetical question and you still won't take no for an answer." *mic drop*

@thisstuartlaws 🤣 had nothing to do with you!

“Winkmeyer” - a piece of castle architecture - no idea why this one got said

I’ve been casually slipping in fake British sayings and words into conversation with my American partner - here’s the one’s she believes:

You do not earn a billion dollars. You steal it. Nobody works a billion times harder than a nurse, a teacher, or a farmer. That money comes from underpaying the people who actually did the work. Stop worshipping hoarders who are just really good at wage theft.

Sure, I paid $6/gallon for gas in Miami today but I rest easy knowing that if not for this war Jared Kushner wouldn't be a billionaire. We're all in this struggle together.

Spare me the complaints about Virginia's new districts. This is my new district in Texas. Unlike VA, I wasn't able to vote on it. The blue area is a very diverse part of the Dallas suburbs that was carved out & threw in with a bunch of rural (red) voters as far as 180 miles away!
