In stock market news today, Campbell’s Soup (CPB) rose more than 5% on news that people are eating a lot more of their soup. I wonder why?

One of these weird things the brain does — I thought, it’s probably not “Eee-lon Musk,” it’s probably more like “Ellon.” And immediately created a new moniker, “MuskmElon.” 😂

I’ve been away; did you miss me? I got so burned out over the traitorous one that I had to hide from news and politics.

We are so fucked.

Executive orders are quick. The courts are slow. Besides, who will enforce court orders on this guy? The US Marshalls answer to the Attorney General.

‘Admit to CHEATING?’: Trump allegedly hints at election cheat with the help of Elon Musk | The Mary Sue "Admitting to cheating a day before you're inaugurated is wild."

This guy gloating that he can get away with anything

Bummed that the US is about to inaugurate the disaster President and we have to go through this shit again four years.

Ya, but I regret it already. Half my patients canceled

I’d have a hard time picking too.

A couple-a good lookin’ guys, happy holidays!

“Q: What is conservatism?
A: Conservatism is the domination of society by an aristocracy.”

If you (the oligarchs) can keep folks outraged over the perceived “sins” of the culture, give them American football games to watch, and make any sort of cooperation among workers seem a grave threat to society, you can stay in minority power, drain everybody’s wallets, and make them like it.

(“Servants, obey your masters,” the Bible says) — the modern ruling class has it figured the same way. Convince your political base to be separate from “the others,” tell them unions are bad, & it’s an evil government which spends money for the benefit of everyone. Downplay corporate welfare.

. . . that “conservative” means being Christian, having family values, a work ethic, morals, law and order, nationalism, toughness, “the cowboy way,” and superiority to those who aren’t like you. Just as emperor Constantine saw that promoting Christianity would make it easy to control people —

Now you can understand how the Republican base has been fooled. The real Conservatives are the billionaire oligarchs, who exploit the working class (& more minor capitalists) to funnel wealth to the top. Understand that the ruling class has brainwashed their political base into believing . . .

“Q: What is wrong with conservatism?
A: Conservatism is incompatible with democracy, prosperity, and civilization in general. It is a destructive system of inequality and prejudice that is founded on deception and has no place in the modern world.”

The Big Picture: How we got into this mess — and how we get out of it Donald Trump isn’t the cause of what ails America. He’s the consequence. The real causes go back four decades.Let me start with a bit of family history. During the 1950s and 1960s, my father, Ed Reich...

In the 1950s-‘60s the average worker could afford a house, two cars, and raise a family. I remember this. I remember when a house was $10k and a brand new car was $2k. Read this to see how we got where we are now.

I have no illusion that this will happen — but it *should* happen.

Why the Liberal-Left Should Forget About Bipartisanship and Get Ready to Fight Trump | Common Dreams A stance of strict non-engagement with Trump 2.0, even where interests overlap, would not only be a good moral policy but even make political sense.

“Strict non-engagement” with the Republican administration, that’s what we need for the next four years.

In He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named’s first term, Dems resisted right away. This time, many have a wait-and-see attitude. That will not work. Fight!!

There’s nothing like stepping outside of your own little world to give you a fresh perspective on your own little world.

Go to Portugal and talk to an Uber driver from Bangladesh about what happens when a government turns anti-immigrant. That will get you started.

Remember how Republicans for years have tried to block the agendas of Democratic administrations? Now it’s our turn. Don’t help them do anything.

If Elon and Vivek are looking for cuts, they can start with Trump's 3-day weekend trips to Mar-a-Lago, which cost taxpayers $1.3 million (almost every week) from 2017-2020. Today's cost will be closer to $2 million per weekend.... that's a lot of bread.
