Kristi Noem is just warming up her violent sociopathy. She's not a tough rancher, who deals with the death of farm animals all the time.
This story was about her puppy and would be shooting dog that she failed to train. She felt intense shame when her untrained dog embarrassed her by acting like ... an untrained dog at a shoot. She acted out to remove the embarrassment - with a gun.
Who wants her to be a McBurger away from the Oval Office?
Higher corporate taxes does not fund a budget so much as it redirects wealth otherwise retained by corporate owners, who own the vast amount of publicly traded shares. It reduces wealth disparity.
Properly drafted, higher corporate taxes permit higher wages and encourages investment in American facilities, because the investments are tax deductible. It's one reason the 1950s were so prosperous.
It's a disconnect Biden needs to bridge, as he needs to bridge the concerns of other groups whose concerns he seems to ignore.
He also needs to highlight more forcefully the consequences for those groups of electing his competitor. Not as an excuse to ignore them, as an explanation of what happens when you play with fire.
Seinfeld continues to be the funniest guy in politics; and the comments are hilarious.
America has no "extreme left." What passes for leftist in America - the most mild form of democratic socialism - would be considered center-right in any other country.

I don't think Trump even wants to be president again. He knows he wasn't good at it.
I believe he's running primarily in hopes of shutting down the prosecutions against him and avoiding prison or financial ruin as consequences of his own actions.
Donald Trump wants to BE president, he just doesn't want to do the job of president. But then he didn't do it the first time, either.
This time, though, he would have a phalanx of Stephen Millers and Jeffrey Clarks to do the job for him. And another 100,000 of them distributed across the federal govt to make sure it never functioned again. Their first targets would be the DoJ, the IRS, and the SEC.
