Any Democrat elected after 1993 can’t govern… all they know is tax cuts, means test, more tax cuts, protect housing values, yell at hot chip company for shrinkflation & lie

It's like an allergic reaction on the discourse, the situation is fine and yet people freak out about it

At the same time, his travel talk revealed his difficulties within
larger segments of his prospective reelection constituency. "The
Iowa Poll did a break-out on our strengths and weaknesses," he
reported, "and we did pretty well in all groups. The only place
where we were weak was among the farmers." Despite good
prices, he continued, farmers "are still complaining." And he
told a story. "Don't quote me on this, but one old farmer asked
me the other day, 'Do you know how you can tell whether a baby is going to be a farmer? He's the one who cries before you
hit him.' That's just about it. But if you quote me on that, I'm
dead." Unlike Dick Clark, Culver did not sit on the Agriculture
Committee. And he admitted, "One group I've never felt quite
comfortable talking to are the farmers." This sense of distance
had to be a not inconsiderable problem in a major farm state.

It’s pretty crazy that Trump is leading a false criminal investigation into Slotkin and Kelly and they’re still voting to confirm Trump’s NSA director

Current ADL leadership in the 1980s: self-hating Jews like Joe Slovo and Helen Suzman should stop attacking Israel's only friend in Africa

I hope you like the welfare state we have now, because we are never raising taxes again lol

The year is 2036. California has passed anti-renter legislation modeled on Austro-Hungarian anti-Roma laws that allows the rooted and noble homeowner to kill the wandering renter. The entire state's tax base consists of unrealized capital gains taxes. HSR from Fresno to Bakersfield is almost done.

Lawsuit settlement with State Farm requires rate increase reductions for property owners and increases for renters policyholders

Lawsuit settlement with State Farm requires rate increase reductions for property owners and increases for renters policyholders

They’re coming up with new and exciting ways for renters to subsidize property owners here in the Golden State all the time. It’s frankly incredible how many different levers they find to take money out of renters pockets and give it to homeowners and landlords.

And no, repeating it and then suggestively arching an eyebrow doesn’t count. It’s the US president spreading an absurd lie to cover up an enormous massacre of children - a dreadful historic moment

Salinger was appointed to that seat after he died and then went on to fumble so badly he became the only Democratic incumbent to lose in the landslide year of 1964

Cory Booker is sort of like Zohran Mamdani if Zohran had the politics of Bill Clinton but still wanted to make you think he was Zohran Mamdani, so you end up with big bold proposals that don’t really do anything and are stupid

Notably, Keynes did say that you need to increase taxes in times of plenty so you can decrease them in times of hardship!

I am rapidly becoming a left-wing fiscal conservative. You will have universal healthcare and you will pay for it.

* there was, but they weren't states with Senators that could vote to break the filibuster, you know what I mean

Filibuster is key here, and remember, there was no Alaska or Hawaii at the time.

I hope you like the welfare state we have, because we're never going to be taxing people higher than we are now.

This is what we get for Abraham Lincoln not letting General Sherman absolutely shitface the entire South. This is what we get for letting Southerners vote in the first place. Get ready folks, the best is yet to come! The dumbest people in the US are the ones with all the voting power, yay!!

Probably the worst part of the oil rain in Tehran is that so many people's barrels and rain collectors are contaminated now

Americans have no idea how much the world is shook, folks. Here in Thailand they have a running tally of how many days' worth of fuel the country has left.
