Something the tweet of god replied to, yes I follow god on twitter, and Buddha and Allah. I found a less divine source. https://www.newsweek.com/alexandria...nge-world-will-end-12-years-un-report-1300873 Nit picking for sure, same criticism that Al Gore received with his movie (A movie that I personally liked). https://www.axios.com/climate-chang...ine-c4ba1f99-bc76-42ac-8b93-e4eaa926938d.html
Is it getting hot in here, or just the elevating public consciousness around rampant wealth inequality? https://t.co/jEvoGVRbT9— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) January 23, 2019 So far in Davos-a room full of billionaires laughed tauntingly at @AOC’s 70% marginal tax prop.-Bill Gates scoffed at notion the system was broken, hinted critics were communists -Tony Blair laughed at idea his cohort was responsible for any global maladyUh, keep it up guys pic.twitter.com/sCAZoZorH1— Brian Merchant (@bcmerchant) January 23, 2019 Discuss,,,
They better get their shit together. Imagine a Trumpian demagogue from the left. Imagine someone demonizing the .1% like Trump demonizes POCs. They'll be BEGGING for Elizabeth Warren!
Hitler was a National socialist. Duh. Oh, and no one in Stalin's Russia had enough money to be taxed at a 70% rate. Unlike the people sentenced to the gulags, they could leave. Assuming Lenin didn't have them killed first, that is.
I keep thinking something similar. Right-wingers love to drag FDR and the New Deal, but FDR had the benefit of seeing how things went down for people of his ilk in Russia 15-20 years earlier when a lot of people were suffering and starving and decided that a little socialism beat the hell out of that. And even that "kill all the rich and powerful" moment wasn't without precedent! I guess that Dell and Gates neglected to take any history classes before they each dropped out of their respective colleges.
Maybe this is why they attack her, the more they go after her the bigger voice she gets with the media. By far the biggest threat Ms Ocasio-Cortez represents is to her own party’s establishment. Republicans ought to love her for that https://t.co/0t5mLh73Mb— The Economist (@TheEconomist) February 1, 2019
Yeah I dont know about that. As more progressives sign up and start winning more and more primaries, and then elections, not sure they'll love it then.
There are schools that do not require humanities coursework for dweebmajors. The Nazi-founded job training center in my hometown was one of them until at least the mid-80s, might still be. I stopped checking a long time ago.
It depends, in safe democrat districts it does not matter, in swing districts it maight. The first may hurt Pelosi (she is smart and could pivot with the electorate winds), the second could help republicans. I am in favor of competitive primaries, no politician should be safe.
I used to play soccer with Oliver Stone and my older brother had a classmate named Frank Sinatra. The kid got in trouble because he decked someone when he was asked one too many times if he did it his way...
I went to first and second grade with Ginger Rogers. My college faculty included Professor William Faulkner in Sociology, James Joyce in Psychology, and Karl Marx in, naturally, Econ.
About the only thing I remember about him was that he used to chainsmoke through his lectures, and when he was in one of the two buildings where that was not permitted, you DID NOT want to get in his way after he wrapped up his lecture for the day. Especially on 75 minute Tuesday/Thursday classes.
I used to be friends with a guy who'd been the President of the dorkiest frat at UNL--it was off fraternity row over on the edge of campus, and they were very much the frat for guys who weren't cool/good-looking/connected enough to pledge any of the houses on fraternity & sorority row. I used to hang out with his friends from the house and indeed lots of the guys in that house were pretty dorky and not at all lady-killers. They weren't quite rowdy enough to be Animal House nor dorky enough to be Revenge of the Nerds, but they had a bit of both things going. They were fun to drink with, for sure. Anyway, even among that collection of hapless dorky white boys who probably pledged because they couldn't make friends in the dorms, one guy named Jim really stood out. Short, incredibly slight, going bald in his early 20's and wore ridiculous glasses which had kinda thick lens and the frame was about four sizes too big for his head. Jim's birth name? James Bond.
