STYLE GUIDE: Calling David Koch is philanthropist is like calling Nero a violin player.
He gave away a fraction of the money that should have gone to taxes and the permanent damage he did to the planet and humanity. You don't focus on the soccer fields Pablo Escobar built for the neighborhood kids.
The Kochs funded a massive assault on the first black president under the guise of caring about the deficit. They then helped deliver the Senate to a white nationalist who exploded the deficit more than any previous president. Because it's a game to avoid taxes & pollute for free
All of us live but few us will live on in the perpetual droughts, floods and misery you've helped doomed humanity to forever. Farewell, Dave Koch.
The thing that unites white nationalists and libertarians -- besides actual racist beliefs, often -- is the conviction that unearned privilege is the most precious thing on earth and must be defended with the sort of overwhelming force we actually need to save the climate.

You've probably noticed Republicans led by Betsy DeVos -- aided by some Democrats who are hostile to public education -- are attempting to rewrite the history of the pandemic.

The think they have a chance advance right wing educational policies parents have rejected for decades.
To muddy the debate and distract from the failures of the policies DeVos has backed in Michigan, Betsy & her allies are attempting to smear and scapegoat the president of the AFT -- Randi Weingarten, a Jewish lesbian who taught in Brooklyn for 6 years.
And the NY Times is on the case!

This piece is a laundry list of easily rebutted right wing tropes framed with a quote by the ultra irrelevant Mike Pompeo

Somehow, this follow-up piece by David Leondhart is worse

New elephant. Who's this? Image
I can't even remember whom I stole my original elephant from. But thanks for 13 years of lols as the Republicans got worse every day! Image
As someone on Facebook said, I call my logo "A Republican trying to define 'woke.'" Image

He's going to try anything that makes the company more reliant on squeezing money out of his fans -- as a way to have to not be accountable to advertisers or anyone.

But ultimately, he can try shitty idea after shitty idea because this isn't a business for him. It's a crusade.
The simplest thing Elon could do to make more money off this site is to just stop tweeting.

And, he'll never ever do that.

Don't believe me when I say that Elon thinks being a jerkoff on Twitter is his religious calling. Believe him. Image

Beyond reminding us how weak and enthralled Kevin McCarthy is to the insurrectionists who made him Speaker, Tucker's January 6th Reverse Reichstag proves the two things that should be obvious.
1. The Murdochs have no remorse about the Dominion case or the insurrection they inspired.

2. Fox is as pro-Trump as it has ever been. Because it has to be.

This silly BS is a prebuttal for any Trump indictments, while whitewashing the sea of convictions related to the coup
Guess who gets that Tucker's Reverse Reichstag is just a Trump campaign informercial?

Trump will win the GOP primary for the same reason he did in 2016. His opponents won't touch the issue that disqualifies him because they're afraid it it will end their career not his.

In 2016, they couldn't call him out for being a birther. In 2024, they won't call him a loser.
Birtherism was a barely concealed dog whistle that no mainstream Republican really wanted to touch. But it was a dog whistle and thus core to GOP politics.

Calling Trump a loser means you accept democracy that allows Democrats to win. That's also unacceptable to the GOP base.
What *may* happen is one candidate will call Trump a loser and Trump and his fans will torch him. And that will be the end of it.

The candidates are all cowards and too terrified for their own careers to all join together to say the one word that would end Trump: LOSER.

Here's the story that the press & even Dems are missing about the GOP chaos on Capitol Hill:

These 20 Trump Republicans want the same thing Trump wants -- the power to destroy the country if they don't get what they want.

That's what this is all about.

editorialboard.com/obstruction-in…
These 20 Republicans -- nearly all insurrectionists by proxy -- aren't trying to break Kevin McCarthy.

McCarthy is already broken.
You know I like laughing at the GOP. But all the smug enjoyment of McCarthy's foibles drowns out the reality.

The 20 want a speaker they can trust to carry through on their threat to actually default on America’s debt and propel the global economy into a massive crisis.
