This part, from NYT. Just inhuman.

41 years ago today, Ray Parker Jr. hits #1 with “Ghostbusters” — and holds the top spot for 3 weeks

“The trick is I never say the word ‘Ghostbusters’. I’m just gonna say, ‘Who ya gonna call?’ and then the crowd says, ‘Ghostbusters!’ because that’s who they want to call to solve their problems.”

The ENTIRE PROBLEM were people NOT VOTING FOR EITHER.

That’s it?! 14%?! JFC, this county is irredeemable.

Only 14%?!

You cannot have a functioning economy when so few people at the top hold so much of the nation’s wealth. It’s not sustainable.

Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.

@genefortexas.bsky.social: "We're buying time for Texans to wake up... To not only deal with TX but deal w/ this in every other state. If ppl who lie, cheat, and steal are allowed to win the day, that is the end of our country... Get off your ass! This is our last shot at saving the American dream."

It's been a while, so I finally updated/modified my inflation/unemployment/recession chart.

You'll be shocked <shocked> to know that we have magically rediscovered <unemployment/jobs> now that Joe Biden is no longer POTUS.

Also, a reminder of how deeply unserious our 2022 Recession Obsession was:

worst person in the world etc

VOTER: “West Virginia has 4 members of Congress… none of them are willing to come here and do what you’re doing. What can we do?”

BERNIE: “We need a political revolution. We need to elect people accountable to the working class rather than raising money from billionaires.”

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend.

This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending.

Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

Letter from FBI Director Kash Patel firing veteran FBI agent Walter Giardina, whose wife died of cancer last month at age 49. Patel accuses this agent, a Marine combat veteran, of “weaponization.” Many of his FBI colleagues told me he did his job scrupulously and ethically.

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!"

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

$1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%...

"That's just how it is."

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. 

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

I'm sorry, Charlotte, but this list needs to redone in Scaramuccis.

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it!

No, you did not give those of us who happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor any due process. And that was profoundly wrong. It destroyed our lives.

South Park mocks MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk with Eric Cartman, Master Debater.

The fact that she chose to be offended about them attacking her appearance instead of the puppy killing pretty much proves South Park’s point.

I'm officially changing my news source to South Park

I hope South Park does an episode about how MAGA hates South Park doing episodes about them.

Omg. He removed auctioneer Billy Long as IRS commissioner, and named Bessent as acting head.

Hmmm…
What was it that Billy Long wouldn’t do for Fat Hitler that Bessent will?
