Funny, but true. I don't pay my kids to do their chores. They do the chores for free, I tell them, because they live here. I pay them to do them without my having to nag them about it. And that works for a family unit, but there are a lot of bosses who view teat employee pay the same way.

Good. Make sure she’s prosecuted as well. Committing war crimes against anyone is bad. But committing them on your own countrymen is possible worse. She needs to go to The Hague.

Not worth the paper it is printed on. Assuming they bothered to print out their bs

How many wars has this administration started? I’ve lost count.

trump considers all tax revenue to be his personal money. Therefore, when she spend money without approval she was stealing from HIM. That makes it personal.

The people her agents murdered or harmed are not him, and so don't actually mater to Trump.

Glad to see that Kristi was fired. Now I need my congressmen to promise me that she will be prosecuted for all of her crimes @corybooker.com @kim.senate.gov

People keep forgetting that AI is MORE fallible than humans, as it believes everything it is fed, and has no ability to cogently evaluate information. It has no β€œgut” to check.

Boss sent me a business case yesterday. All bullshit. None of it accurate. It looked good to him though.

Difference is that everyone knows, and admits, that the couch fucking is made up. They repeat it because it is funny, not because they think it is true, or want you to believe it.

Powerful people lie, and then double down when it is shown to be false. Often convincing themself of their own BS.

I wrote to my Senator, @corybooker.com after Trump started a war with Iran, to urge him to NOT let this war be a pretext for funding DHS/ICE.

I received a form letter from Cory's office, but it only mentioned a war powers resolution related to Venezuela. No mention of Iran. WTF Cory?

Receipts?

I don’t say talarico was a racist. I said his district is. They prefer a mild, Christianity performing, white, man over a strong, effective, vocal black woman.

No offense to Talarico, but he won bc he was white and male, and performed Christianity publicly.

Jasmine was the more qualified applicant, and lost, bc their district is still afraid of a strong, unapologetic black woman.

Turning the ACA into free money for insurers. Because at that level of deductible, most can’t afford to meet it, meaning insurers get premiums for medical services no one ever uses. And as a result they never have to actually pay for.

His own measures are β€œwill it make me money, and sow distrust?” And by that metric, he’s been a wild success.

That his real measures and his claimed measures don’t agree is the con.

Need to stop treating conmen as anything other than what they are. No benefit of the doubt. Don’t play along.

As always. The only appropriate response to fascist dictator wannabe is β€œfuck you, make me”.

Appeasement NEVER works. It just emboldens him to come back and take more from you next time.

Books bullied kids?

Not saying parents didn’t blame books for suicides. I remember the β€œplay your record backwards” bs, the satanic panic around TTRPGs, etc.

But when a kid kills themself over social media posts, it is usually bc kids bullied them there. Something they can do offline too.

*24/7 not 27/7.

Bans are not necessarily the solution. But I don’t let my kids on Social media until I think they have a thick enough skin to take the inevitable abuse they will get from someone.

Interesting, but facile comparison. Books never tell suicidal teens to commit suicide. Kids on social media ABSOLUTELY DO that to kids they are bullying.

Bullying is the problem, but social media gives the bully access to their target 27/7. And the algorithms encourage anti-social behavior.

Billionare wealth is increasing at more than 5% YoY. If anything, his proposal does not go far enough. Every billionaire is a policy failure. No one should be able to accumulate that much wealth, because the only way to do so is mass exploitation and corruption.

Can’t see how that pencils out for Ohio residents. Particularly if this data center causes infrasound issues for locals, driving them away.

Last week, I was asked whether I supported strikes on Iran.

My position remains the same.

This should surprise no one. Double standards are a feature, not a bug, for facists.

Yea. I was upset about Clinton and Obama bombings, so does that mean I get to be mad about Trumps as well?

Unless congress is willing/able to impeach and remove the president, he has all the powers of government at his disposal. This SCOTUS made that VERY clear when they granted him unlimited immunity.

Congress granted Trump tacit approval to start whatever wars he wants when they failed to impeach him over Venezuela. All the liberal handwringing now over Iran is theatre

If you let a bully take your lunch money on Monday, and don’t report him, don’t be surprised when he takes your coat on Friday

True that the US wants this for their own reasons. But most of the political support for it comes from aipac money. Without that, this would not be happening now. Israel is not a puppet, but an instigator.

He’s a Zionist. The US attacking Iran is good for Israel’s regional aspirations. His loyalty is to Israel first and America second.

Where is your outrage? Your defense of congresses EXCLUSIVE authority to declare war?

Why do you build justifications into your (way too polite) request for an explanation?

Bc you actually want this war, you just want to be able to blame Trump for it. Because you are every bit the imperialist
