@georgetakei This is unusual? I would frequently wake up after noon and go to bed at 4a during Summer break.

In the years after Trump's tax cuts, S&P 500 corporations spent $2.72 trillion on stock buybacks to enrich wealthy shareholders. That's more than what they spent on investments in plants and technology to boost production and create jobs. So much for trickling down, huh?

@rbreich That trickle has had a yellow hue and smelled of ammonia for 40 years.

We now have two prosecutions, both resulting in guilty verdicts, one against an ex-president and another against a sitting president’s son. They are both unprecedented and bring with them deeply conflicting feelings. In today's piece for The Big Picture, writer and legal expert Jay Kuo digs into this unsettling duality. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/donald-trump-hunter-biden-prosecution

@georgetakei "Further, both men stood accused of basic “paperwork” crimes. In Trump’s case, it was the intentional mischaracterization of reimbursements to Michael Cohen as “legal services” to hide a hush money payment made right before the 2016 election."

This is bull shit. It was election interference. He didn't just "pay a porn star to stay quiet".

Re: Hunter Biden, I couldn't give two fucks. He's never been president. This is comparing apples to a low-IQ orangutan.

@rbreich It's atonement for bad policy he supported in the past. He's the reason student debt isn't wiped in bankruptcy.

20 Republican attorneys general are demanding that the Supreme Court block individual states like California from suing Big Oil for their climate impacts.

Funny how conservatives only believe in "states rights" for certain issues.

@rbreich Republicans are chaos agents. They won't be happy until America is burned to the ground. With their anti-reality positions on everything, America will likely burn down due to uncontrollable wildfires.

In a misguided effort to be "unbiased," most news media have stopped calling Trump's Big Lie about the 2020 election what it is. Instead they're using terms like "false statements" or "claims without evidence."

Memo to the media: Calling out lies isn't "biased." It's your job.

@georgetakei ABC = Always Be Capitalisming. If you're not having every ounce of hope and humanity wrung from you by your employer's insatiable appetite to make more money, you must work for the 0.000000000000001% of employers that aren't a fucking nightmare of union-busting and labor law violations.
