"We have to destroy the billionaires. Judge political policies on their likelihood to accomplish this. Use this as your guiding star...We need to take away the fortunes. Otherwise, they will rule, and all of our angry words of protest will not matter much at all."

Word.

It is an absolute truth that the monster in the White House is an utter piece of shit. On every level. Anyone who fails to condemn him disgusts me.

C’mon and stop using absurd euphemisms:

“That sort of crass back-and-forth was also evidenced on Mr. Von’s show, which included below-the-belt discussions of erectile dysfunction and unconventional methods of nicotine delivery.”

Andy Kim, corruption fighter. I love that my US Senator from NJ is staying in the fight against corruption in his own party here in NJ, even as he takes on battles at the Federal level. Keep it up, Andy, and thank you!

Don't follow the money! By this I mean that Dem politicians must stop sucking at the tits of the plutocrats. They don't need their money to win. Rather, they need to focus on the needs of regular folks.
