I didn't know I was that powerful.

But Hey, heck of a step up for a high school dropout from the South side of Chicago.
For those asking

No, I do not have a GED
To clarify

I intentionally refused to get a diploma or a GED

Bernie Sanders cutting hours instead of paying his staff what they asked for is like seeing a fire truck on fire
The craziest thing to me about this was when his campaign manager said they pay "competitive" salaries

wtf does market competition have to do with paying people a rate you ideologically support?
This is a good example of why socialism, or command economies, don't work.

When they come to an impasse they mandate the expenditure and extract the resources from other areas resulting in gradual collapse of the system

I'm loving it

Media now falsely claiming that by saying I didn't *completely* believe Seth Rich leaked emails to Wikileaks I "helped push" the conspiracy theory

Or even going as far to say I literally claimed it was true

Watch your words, because I will sue you
By even talking about it you can claim someone pushed it

Is that all they have?

"Tim Pool talked about a thing"
Oop already got some retractions

Good work editors, appreciate it

I think its fair to say there is no "Left" in the US anymore

The views of progressives and Democrats are fractured and disparate.

While you can point to leftist pockets that exist, their views are so different they may as well be different parties
Rampant Democrat infighting plagues the news

Anti-woke Dirtbag left is currently being dragged by Woke-Left

Moderate leftists are now 'right wing' for calling it out
For someone who is pro choice, pro progressive tax, pro social programs but agrees with Obama on border security

who do you vote for?

You are not "the left" anymore unless you embrace leftist identitarianism

Hey tweeps -- my uncle died today. I think it's important to speak for the dead, to learn from who they were, and what they meant to the people around them, so I just want to share a little of his story.

Because, in its own way, it's a great story. It gives me hope to tell it /1
This uncle was my mom's oldest brother. He was born just after my grandfather deployed to the Pacific when we entered WWII.

This is my grandparents looking dashing and '40s on their wedding day. /2
He and my mom were really close when they were kids. I think they shared a room until almost high school.

I love this picture of them in their bunk beds in their tiny bedroom -- even though this doll my mom had may have been the inspiration for the poltergeist clown, I swear. /3

64/Since the FCC repealed it in 2017, @KamalaHarris has been a fierce advocate for net neutrality & is supporting a new bill to restore it. #Kamala2020
65/1 of many takeaways @KamalaHarris got from Howard University was the importance of embracing & celebrating Black identities & providing a sense of belonging & leadership to traditionally oppressed groups. It’s time to do that nationally. #Kamala2020 latimes.com/politics/la-na…

Hey so I’m really not on twitter or even checked into my own life this week but I wanted to briefly point out while we all talk about troops in various ways, from conflicts to photo ops

I had not planned to spend this week dealing with the fallout of war. But here we are.
A good mate of mine had a ptsd episode Christmas Eve. This is not a white guy, and when black men have violent episodes the thing that tends to happen is that cops show up and completely triple down on the danger and intensity of the situation.
So clearly we get him on a flight to me on Christmas because his partner is also a good friend of mine and knows that this isn’t my first time at this rodeo, and the partner hasn’t ever dealt with this.
