Donald Trump and his cabal have made the future a poorer and riskier place for my children.
I hate them for that.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

This is a terrible take. The MA tax and the proposed CA tax are very different.
MA basically just has a higher marginal tax rate for individuals with high incomes. The CA tax is on the value of assets not income. The CA tax is much larger and there will be more incentive to relocate.

they’re not gonna leave, they’ll whine and bitch and moan and eventually this will raise more money than expected because nowhere they go is actually like the place they’re leaving

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.
