Raising capital gains tax rates and eliminating the basis step-up at death would be much more effective and protected from legal challenge than a wealth tax

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

I do think there's some value in forcing putatively normal republicans to endorse the increasingly perverted and puerile actions of their demented god king

You took matters into your own hands and fixed the a/c. Seems lesbian coded? Straight guy here so I’m really just spitballing

This wasn’t even in response to the President of the United States posting an AI slop video of him as a king flying a jet and dropping diarrhea bombs on people

Mine had 20 somethings in unicorn inflatable costumes and old guys playing Scotland the Brave on the bagpipes and I enjoyed every moment of it

No Kings was a blast today. Warms my heart to march shoulder to shoulder with thousands of my neighbors who are also disgusted with the current state of affairs 🇺🇸

I knew you weren’t. The expectation that every cop is DUI free for life is not realistic

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Amazing. Not enough games out there where you can call your opponent a “pansy”

They used the same platform to make this one where you can murder Rocky Marciano with Larry Holmes because his reach was about half the screen

Yes it is really stupid to drink and drive. I know plenty of people who have gotten a DUI and lived perfectly good lives afterwards, and I think it is asking too much for one to be career ending

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

"The executive has usurped the power of the purse to pay for a standing army" is something that the Founders very explicitly wanted to prevent from ever happening but, ah, well, nevertheless

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

John Roberts’ Constitution: The federal government protecting people’s right to vote or giving them health care violates the sacred principle of state sovereignty but if the deranged POTUS and his bloodthirsty advisers want to use the military to invade other states for being too liberal that’s fine

Unlike this Neanderthal, I actually love our soldiers which is why I don’t want them wandering around DC picking up trash or deployed against their fellow citizens for partisan bullshit
