Saying we need to have billionaires is in the same class of beliefs as "we need fossil fuel forever" now.
But the memes are somehow still worth it right gang
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

No ceiling 🙃
Not only is this 100% correct, but because of the ultra-high net worth individuals we’re dealing w/what you have is a gigantic insider threat & counterintelligence problem. 1/
one reason "great power competition" is a bad description of the emerging order is that an interlinked global kleptocracy does not care about national interests or rivalries

So it should be very very very obvious that Trump pardoning someone who trafficked 400kg of cocaine to the US completely invalidates the "narco terrorist" justification for murdering multiple boatloads of people, right?

This could not be clearer that they're just murdering for sport.

"Trump says what he thinks" includes not being able to show a hint of sympathy for a dead person, and it's weird that this aspect of "saying what he thinks" doesn't have the same relevance in the culture.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

In any morally centered context, and to every ethically normal person, the question "Have you ruled out a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell" has a right answer: "Absolutely. No person convicted of her crimes will every get a pardon." Instead the President refuses to be heard saying just that. to review/2

This also falls apart because it is clearly wrong. This story was worth investigating further, obviously.
the key problem here is that the threshold for "publishable info" is a moving target and it moves to Trump's benefit
As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...

My immigrant parents didn't know how to do Thanksgiving. My sister and I would bring home tidbits from classmates ("We need to buy 'cranberry sauce!'") and bit by bit, we built Thanksgiving. Not cos-playing, but participating.
It's my favorite holiday.
It’s how you end up with language like “paperwork American” or the idea that Thanksgiving turkey is some sort of natural ethno-national tradition that certain other groups are incapable of ever appreciating

Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

With genuine shame, recent years in politics have given me my first taste for what it is to have moralised contempt for my opponents. Not hatred, not fear; contempt. There's some core element of the right wing coalition at the moment which seems to me best described as a revolt of the loser men...
