Duh
Zucman puts it more emphatically. “I think democracy versus oligarchy is going to be the battle of the 21st century,” he says. “I don’t know how long it’s going to take for the Democratic Party to actually understand that.
What a terribly disappointing conclusion. The author is as naive as he's under the impression the Democratic party is. Those in control of the Democratic party are absolutely aware where their largest financial backing comes from.
They know it dipshit, it's why they submarined Bernie and refused to even mention mandamis name until he'd already won. It's why AOC was passed over for party leadership appointment roles in Congress. They don't want to win against oligarchy.
I'm sure police officers undergo similar social media reviews so any with white supremacist, fascist, bigoted, racist and sexist memes wouldn't allowed to be officers right?
Props to Weinstein for standing up for his right not to have speech suppressed. Did the background investigation look for those who may have a bias toward the polices anti-constitutitonal violence, discrimination?
This is a demonstration in political power and how much of the city administration has been corrupted to want to protect police from the very accountability the public overwhelmingly demanded. Such. Deep. Rot.
Fuck a pledge, it's the law! We have statue that makes driving while phoning illegal...what we would need is actual enforcement!
Or housing. Or medical care. Or education.
The library of Alexandria, burns again.
That movie hits so different as an adult through Wonka's eyes.
Yes, I could definitely see the lower dollar increasing tourism to the US in the current context with everything that has been done to boost foreigners desire to visit the US. Who wouldn't want to visit the US right now?!?
Trump seems to think it would be appropriate:
Donald Trump has filed defamation lawsuits against a range of individuals and organizations. Media figures and outlets have been frequent targets:
ABC News and George Stephanopoulos were sued over comments stating Trump was found liable for “rape,” which Trump claimed was false; the case was settled with ABC donating $15 million to his library.
CNN was sued for $475 million over its use of the term “the big lie” and comparisons to Adolf Hitler, but the lawsuit was dismissed.
The New York Times and four of its reporters were sued for $15 billion, accusing them of defamation and acting as a “mouthpiece” for political opponents.
CBS and its “60 Minutes” were sued for $10 billion over alleged deceptive editing of Kamala Harris’s interview.
The Wall Street Journal, Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, and two journalists were sued for $10 billion over a report about a lewd note Trump allegedly wrote to Jeffrey Epstein.
The Des Moines Register, its pollster J. Ann Selzer, and parent company Gannett were sued over a pre-election poll showing Trump trailing Harris in Iowa.
Simon & Schuster and Bob Woodward were sued for allegedly violating copyright and defaming Trump by using recorded interviews out of context in a book.
Trump has also sued individuals associated with media or public commentary, including journalists and publishers, often over reporting he claims damaged his reputation. Some cases are ongoing, while others have been dismissed or settled.
I'm sure the private contractors will the. Also say they were harmed by having to work as Nazis under a totalitarian regime that they enabled.
