RFK is the embodiment of “do your own research.”
These are the same ones that didn’t pay attention in high school - missing out on the critical skills that help you *understamd* the research you’re reviewing.

We’re at the point in Capitalism where the market doesn’t decide anything it is only the rich and powerful oh wait that’s an oligarchy. And for no particular reason, #stephencolbert & #paramount

A little bit of history:
Famous Uber-Conservative, Otto von Bismarck, created a sickness fund in Germany to, among other things:
- Win the loyalty of the working class
- Ensure a health workforce
- Mitigate social unrest by addressing workers' basic needs
Cutting #Medicaid is bad policy.

I mean, I get where Trump is coming from. When I was a kid, I hid a paper I got an F on from my mom because I didn’t want to get in trouble.
The Congressional GOP is helping hide his F.
The one difference is just that Trump’s F is child rape.

The TX flood is an unmitigated tragedy. I loathe to politicize it, but Abbott claiming that only losers look to blame & winners roll up their sleeves to get to work is just the juiciest meat for the Daily Show to run a montage of him blaming Biden for anything close to a stiff breeze. #texas #flood

We joke about AI and Skynet, but in both instances, it does seem like technology outpaced the laws to govern it. The apocalypse likely won't be a literal battlefield, but the attrition of the workforce, the decimation of the economy, and significant brain drain. "...but as a whimper"

I feel like we just barreled through the whole constitutional crisis thing like it never happened. The media keeps saying “it is unclear if this is legal” instead of “it is unclear if Trump will follow the law”.

“Ahem, you see… Mr. President… some of the guys… ahem… not me, of course! but *some* of them… just a few! just wondered if you, that is, you as president… AND A GREAT ONE I MIGHT ADD!… if you should accept this gift (SO PRETTY, MR. PRESIDENT)… from this human rights abomination. Just asking, haha!”
Republicans voice concern over Trump's support for a new Air Force One from Qatar
In a rare break with the president, some inside the GOP are expressing concern over the potential national security risks of accepting a luxury Boeing 747 jet from Qatar to replace Air Force One.

At no point have I had to question my conviction that Trump is a narcissistic, selfish, criminal charlatan. Everything he has done has deepened my disdain, distrust, and discouragement.

It feels vain and absurd to keep posting here when I have minimal engagement - I’d love to generate a conversation. I had a few circles I was part of in The Bad place, calling all #buttigieg supporters, #superman fans, and #durham - ites.

This is a terrible fucking headline. This is nearly (if not totally) based on market manipulation. Nothing but a stupid, fickle old man driven by ego and adulation playing god at a whim. Guaranteed his acolytes made bank on this shift.
