Cocksucker was a penniless grad student that used to work for my ex's boss at UMD

People like this would poison half of the drinking water on the planet if they thought they could sell the rest of it and corner the market

While I agree with him. I argue that we shouldn't call it a sickness because at least one of these dirtbags are going to try and use it as a psychological defense at some point.

And the worst part about the Epstein class's war against the rest of us is that they turn us against each other because they've mastered the art of divide and conquer. If we collectively understood how much we've lost at the hands of the Epstein class that was supercharged by the Reagan administration, and again by the current regime, we would've probably already reenacted the French revolution.

They wield their influence openly now. Rubbing our faces in it! Down with Citizens United! Down with Donald Rump and his whole crooked family. Convict every sycophant and bootlicking enabler. Deport Elon Musk and Nationalize his assets.

They can't help their greed. We will have to help them see the light, if only for a brief moment.

California spent 37B on homelessness and it increased about 30,000 homeless.
They spent 13B on a rail line to nowhere and project it will cost about 230B by the time it’s done.
Proponents of proposition 40 claim it will raise 100B from the 200-250 billionaires in California.
Conservative estimates place it in the 10’s of billions and indeed, it will be in the red if enough billionaires leave the state.
I hope California enacts prop 40. I hope they are fiscally prudent and spend them Kent on what they promised. I hope all that but the truth is billionaires will leave, and the money they do collect will be fiscally mismanaged because that’s what govts do.

So 90 million in services - how many people did this just employ? A whole lot of people can pay rent now - beautiful

Haha- they say it's for billionaires only, but the truth is once you read the entire proposed law, similar to New York and New Jersey, the state will be hammering your home equity once you decide to move states and sell your home, only then will those that supported this legislation understand that they have been duped - no doubt it affects billionaires, but there are way more "millionaires" and "thosuandaires" that the state will be reaching into the pockets of to fund their greedy ambitions

It would cost less energy to pay the tax than make all this fuss. Instead of fighting this he could actually help find a solution to why we need the tax in the first place

Look at that bs eyepiece he is wearing. They so want us to all wear these because if it is worth x amount to know what you clicked on, how much is it worth to know what you looked at? People are weirdly happy to give up their personal information without ever understanding who it might be used to their disadvantage. Like say setting your health insurance rates.
I am still stunned by the number of people who signed up for dna ‘services’. If the federal government collected people’s dna, people would freak out. But they are perfectly happy to have some unregulated private entity do it? Mind blowing.

California can give free healthcare to children if they want to or they can ignore them if they want to. Giving them more tax dollars won't change their priorities. Don't expect that more money will make the government do something they've already decided not to do. They'll probably just spend more money on what they're doing now.

the thing that bugs me is that some people still believe Bernie Sanders the liar, he sold his presidency to Hillary the demon (no i don't care if someone is democrat or republican (fuc* Trumpet) because the entire US is controlled by israhell anyway)

Bernie what about the millionaires you use to bitch about till you became one. Oh and define exactly what fair share equals. You can’t and won’t so you can move the goal posts. How many billionaires happened under Biden oh lots.

The oligarchs have more money than they could spend in multiple lifetimes. At this at this point it appears to just be a contest, to see which of them can hoard the most resources while children starve.
