The US does have an anti-semitism problem, but criticism of Israel and the IDF is not anti-semitism. Fuck Schumer for trying to equate the two and therefore empowering both the real anti-semites and the genocidal Israeli regime.

“Encounters” is such a funny way to phrase it. Like he was traveling through the woods on a quest and had to roll on the random table upon which a pack of wolves was also an option.

On the contrary, conservatives have one very strict standard:

“Will this candidate attack the people I hate?”

Everything else is secondary.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matthew 6:5-6

If we were playing by Thunderdome rules, Trump would be a permanent fixture of “bust a deal, face the wheel.”

And he’d have Stephen Miller’s head grafted to his belly.

But think of the CEO who could use a vacation house in Jackson Hole.

And I think they’re disagreeing over Iran, which is not an Arabic country.

Fucked up, yes. But how the fuck is the cop supposed to be know who is who.

You realize that makes it worse, right? How the cop is shooting at someone who he has not identified as a threat?

Almost like the GOP likes Nazi shit.

Your ears you keep and I’ll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, “Dear God! What is that thing,” will echo in your perfect ears. That is what “to the pain means.” It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

That sounds delightful.

Please enlighten me on how he could have acquired $200 billion dollars if he had paid his fair share in taxes, fairly compensated his labor, and refrained from monopolistic business practices.

As a reminder, the tax rate for the wealthy during the highest period of economic growth was as high as 91%, whereas Gates has never paid more than 40%.

How do you think his stocks were juiced if not for the aforementioned monopolistic business practices? What kind of capital gains taxes did he pay on those compared to what labor pays on their income? Why should he pay at a lower rate than people who work for a living instead of holding onto wealth?

But perhaps you misunderstand my point: a healthy society would not allow this kind of wealth disparity, as it is inherently destabilizing.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add monopolistic practices that prevented people from effectively operating competing businesses.

That should about cover it.

It shouldn’t be his money to spend; it’s been skimmed from all the people he has underpaid and the taxes that he’s avoided for decades.

Billionaires shouldn’t exist, even ones with good PR like Gates.

Visiting the Titanic is an event better spot for him.

Something tells me that Alito wouldn’t be so understanding of a shirt that reads “SCOTUS can lick my scrotus.”

That series looks interesting, I may have to give it a shot. Thanks for the rec.
