Purveyor of original comedy bronze humor - it’s a smaller niche market than comedy gold. #nerlingersjokes (yeah, I spelled it wrong but too lazy ti fix it) My hobbies are saying stupid stuff. I can’t think of any other hobbies. Proud to say I was on Twitter for about 2 weeks, 1 tweet, and Musk didn’t like it because I pointed out he inadvertently criticized Rupert Murdock, so he had my only tweet taken down.

Receiving lavish gifts from donors and openly supporting insurrectionists aren't typically behaviors we expect of Supreme Court justices. Yet here we are. With no indication the Court intends to actually police itself, it's long past time for reform. Your move, Congress. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/supreme-court-recusal-reform-alito

50 billionaire families have already poured $600M+ into this year's elections — mostly in support of Trump.

That's only 0.6% of their total wealth. It essentially costs them nothing to drown our democracy in dark money.

Billionaires aren’t just supporting Trump for the tax cuts.

As Peter Thiel once admitted: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”

Make no mistake: The goal of American oligarchy is to tear down democracy itself.

The Appeal to Heaven flag isn't just tied to Jan 6.

It's a Christian nationalist symbol.

Christian nationalists believe that the law of the land is not the Constitution, but instead the law of God as they interpret it.

Do you see the problem with Alito flying this flag?

Apple shares lost 10% of their value.

Then Apple announced plans to buy back $110 billion of its own stock.

After that, Apple shares had their best day since 2022.

There's a reason stock buybacks used to be considered illegal stock manipulations.

They should still be banned.

For Nat'l Police Week, Speaker Johnson is hosting a candlelight vigil tonight to honor fallen police officers.

But first he's in New York to support Trump, who has promised to pardon the violent criminals who brutally assaulted about 140 Capitol Police on Jan 6.

Judge Cannon has postponed Trump's classified documents trial and didn't set a new start date.

The Supreme Court is slow walking Trump's classified documents case, which has delayed his Jan 6 trial.

The federal judiciary is effectively acting like a MAGA campaign arm.

Nothing new here. It’s simply the 2 tiered justice system in action.

Boeing says workers skipped required tests on 787 but recorded work as completed

FAA: Boeing apparently didn't confirm bonding "where the wings join the fuselage."

Notice that the conversation about campus protests is no longer centered on why the protests were happening in the first place?

Whenever university presidents have brought in the police, and students have been arrested and suspended, all learning and discussion has stopped.

Clarence Thomas hearing Trump's immunity case, when his wife Ginni was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election, tells you everything you need to know about the Supreme Court's new code of "ethics."

It's a sham.

On the other hand recused himself, wouldn’t it appear to be an admission that his wife was involved? 🤷

Excuse me but how is Louis DeJoy still postmaster general?

His destructive 10-year plan for the Post Office—slowing mail delivery, hiking prices for consumers, and speeding up privatization—is in full effect.

Hello?

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.

The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
