Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave”

We need to start calling their bluff.

We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."

Burchett is Burchetting again.

New Donald Trump footage emerges trying to discredit latest golf achievement

US President Donald Trump's golf game came into question last week in Scotland when a caddie was captured on video dropping a ball just off the fairway, even though Trump's original shot found a bunker.

Top Trump aide accuses India of financing Russia's war in Ukraine Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff at the White House and one of Trump's most influential aides, said it is 'not acceptable' for India to continue purchasing oil from Russia.

A top aide to President Donald Trump has accused India of effectively financing Russia's war in Ukraine by purchasing oil from Moscow, after the U.S. leader escalated pressure on New Delhi to stop buying Russian oil.

How the dollar doing against the world??

The story is wrong. The information wasn't shared as I read, it was stolen by listening in on the sheriff's communications.

"Trump says he may join the fray. To truly dismantle Iran’s nuclear program, Israel needs a particular U.S. bomb to strike facilities buried deep underground. But Trump ran for president promising “no more wars,” and parts of his MAGA base take an isolationist view of the world." NYTIMES

Get ready.

This piece is terrible. It’s a caricature of the research masquerading as wisdom and hands those that would tear down the NIH a helping hand. Hint: this administration isn’t interested in your arguments or reform.

No one, and I mean, no one, should show up on the streets of LA today.
Wait for the stand-down orders. Wait for them to return to sleeping on the floor somewhere....... then everybody SHOW up.
As soon as they re-appear, disappear.
Do that for as long as it takes.

Oh, honey . . . You can’t even get your wife back.

A gimme in golf is equal to accepting a luxury jet from a foreign government.
It would be okay if Trump was a private citizen. He can resign and we will let him keep the 747.

China has been preparing for Trump's Trade War since 2018.
Trump doesn't a have clue about how prepared they are because he never listens to any of his intelligence agencies. He listens to people sitting on couches on Fox. They repeat his ramblings to him.
It's a vicious cycle with no off ramp.

A den of thieves and rogues it is.

Quinoa is grown all over now but 20 years ago it was almost unknown. USAID, working with countries in the Andean region, helped develop and popularize the nutritious grain, thereby raising living standards and reducing food insecurity. It’s just one example of what we’ve lost.
