For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

“Women in Michigan don’t want to come!” is, honestly, pretty good as far as GOP closers this year go.

pink muhly grass absolutely throwing ass today. how do you pronounce muhly? i don’t know. im not going to read your comments if you tell me, im going to wait for it to come up in a real person conversation and just give it a shot. the risk of embarrassment is what gives life its spark

There comes a time in every reactionary politician's life when he must steel himself, insert a nasogastric tube for unclear reasons, put on his bravest grimace, and give the weirdest thumbs-up anyone has ever seen.

Yeah, this is really bad. It's good that El-Sayed distanced himself from it, but I am in awe at how Cenk's left-wing PAC managed to combine antisemitism with transphobia and pitch it as *supporting* the Democrat in this race.

I read the NYT piece earlier, and I had no idea there was a new rape allegation against the president until I saw this thread. The closest the Times got to saying there’s a new allegation was “it largely cites allegations that have already been public.”

The house I grew up in had a stairwell right in the middle. Everyone who lived there saw the same old man just...milling around. Only in the stairwell. More than once my friends mentioned in passing running into my "grandpa" on the stairs.

it’s evil and we need to stop it

At some point I'll run out of Italian movies to watch, but this ain't it. Tonight...The Fourth Victim.

Kind of funny, in an Ancient Greek Hell kind of way, that this guy handed Trump the presidency in 2016, and as a reward Trump is kicking him in the teeth forever. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

"Would it be legal if he took a gun and SHOT HIM outside the ring, Hasan?"

JD Vance: "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum"

There is no human on earth more easily or predictably baited than this man.

"Under Brazilian federal law, all legislators have immunity...To run for President, Bolsonaro decided not to run for his Senate seat. Now, after losing the Presidential election, he no longer has legislative immunity when his Senate term expires in January 2027." Very Special Episode of no amnesty

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

BlueSky has four kinds of users

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

You know...I genuinely wonder if Trump's decline meaning that he sexually harasses men as well as women is going to shake loose any introspection. Probably not, but man...

Jesse Ventura has been wrong about a great many things but when he's in "I was in fucking Vietnam so who the hell are you to tell me about war" mode he is unbeatable.

I'm finding it fascinating that a lot of men seem to have clearly missed the significance of Amanda Seyfried's inclusion in You Can See Everything.

the way people were banging on pots and pans for STEM for like 15 years? maybe we need to be doing that for media literacy

"I will give your editorial suggestions the same weight and respect which I have traditionally reserved only for the law..."

AEW will only become a proper promotion when they start having championship roll calls.

The last "good" pollster had the Montana Senate race at R+8. The other pollsters had it at R+15 or more. Even Bodnar's campaign-sponsored polls had the R ahead. The internals must be truly apocalyptic if they're sending the couchfucker to rally the base?

Big Daddy V looked like he was drawn by Jack Kirby and that was awesome and we don't talk about this enough.

Sure, man, you’ve got my number. I’m a moron. I’m a windup toy. I’m probably AI. What you’re feeling isn’t anxiety, it’s indignation. That rage is confidence, not insecurity. Very superior, very impressive. Good job, big dog.

Skill issue. You're rambling about semiotics but you're just talking class. Your rant stinks of the kind of pedestrian tastes that only an overgrown and unobserved sense of shame can produce. Let these people enjoy their Cheesecake Factory in the peace without you jerking off your blues away.

Reading James Ellroy’s The Black Dalia and annoying my girlfriend by summarizing the first five or so chapters by loudly saying “Men. Strong men. Two strong men and they are punching. They are so strong these two men. Two men punching eachother out of respect. Strong men. Two strong men.”

Paging @thewayoftheid.bsky.social

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

let's fucking go
