Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.”
And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus.
And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires.
So the GOP mocked it.

If you have to proclaim to others anything about yourself, than you are clearly not proving it true with your words and actions.

This is what a rational realization and acceptance that one was incorrect. Too bad not everyone will have a similar epiphany...

Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan
In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false
"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."
My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:

Report by Tommy Vietor:
Pam Bondi, Trump's new Attorney General nominee, recently registered as a foreign agent to lobby on behalf of Qatar. Specifically, she's helping Qatar whitewash its awful record on human trafficking.
Corruption and moral depravity at the highest levels of Trump’s picks. How on brand.

An unidentified “hacker” accessed the computer file featuring information about the Matt Gaetz report.
Now more than ever US officials need to release the report to the public & avoid any data tampering or tainting situations. Increase the pressure on them. #opdeatheaters
