The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.”

But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people.

Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.

@rbreich growth like the crypto scammer space, jobs like online trolls payed with crypto

Josh Hawley:

He can’t stand for 90 minutes - but he’s 100% able to be President? Have fun explaining that

Poor White people. Help them to feel welcome.

Four panel comic strip by Jen Sorensen: 1: "Many white Americans fail to assimilate. Some self-segregate in homogenous neighborhoods" Houses in gated community with the sign "Caucasian Pointe - No trespassing." 2. "Others fly the flag of a foreign country" A large truck drives by, flying the confederate battle flag and playing the song "Free Bird" loudly (which is labeled "traditional folk music") 3. "Many refuse to speak contemporary English" An angry looking white woman says, "Seems like the Homos and Orientals are everywhere!" 4. "Will these stubborn holdouts ever integrate into our multiracial society?" A white man wears a red MAGA hat and a Trump t-shirt. A brown skinned person points toward him and says, "It might help if they stopped wearing those funny hats."

    TRUMP: If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone.

    Yes. If you commit 34 felonies by filing false business records to cover up election interference, you too can be convicted by a jury of your peers via the due process of our criminal justice system.

    In the 1960s, CEOs made 20 times the pay of their workers.

    Now, they rake in over 300 times.

    When people stop believing they have a fair chance to make it, the tacit social contract begins to unravel.

    That's how a nation becomes susceptible to demagogues like Donald Trump.

    Via Kurt Eichenwald:

    Nothing more fun than tracking down #Trump's latest grift. For his sneakers, he's getting a fee paid to CIC Ventures, which he owns, by 45Footwear LLC, which is purportedly the shoe manufacturer. That is based in Sheridan Wyoming, in this rundown house in a grimy shopping mall.

    @GottaLaff money laundering needs to justify incoming deposits by faking sales margins for example

    Alex Jones was born in 1974... He's... so much younger than I thought! I thought he was two decades older than me but it's less than one.

    Some things age you, I suppose.

    (ETA: a photo... he's not just "gen X" he's a late gen Xer. borderline Millennial. )

    (ETA 2: He made a lot of his fortune, which he isn't paying out to the victims of his attacks... selling HEALTH PILLS. They obviously don't work!)

    @futurebird 2 years younger than me and I am beyond surprised, where did he get the time to come up with so much bullshit
