Billionaires ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS

They’re also in the minority

In a Democratic Republic they can only win power by buying it or by dividing non-billionaires

They can NEVER BE YOUR FRIENDS

NEVER. EVER.

The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country.

But when we see our criminal, delusional President, we feel none of those things.

I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

If true, this could explain a lot: Epstein’s mysterious money; the wire transactions to former Soviet states; Trump’s submissiveness around Putin.
Epstein's sex empire was 'KGB honeytrap'
The release of more than three million new documents relating to the late sex offender gives credence to claims made by senior security officials: that Epstein was working on behalf of Moscow.

It was probably difficult to foresee that Trump would put the Kennedy Center out of business.

A reminder for all: “IF YOU FIND YOURSELF BEING RUN OUT OF TOWN, GET OUT IN FRONT AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A PARADE!”
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

Novel and insidious if true
“Jeffrey Epstein was running 'the world's largest honeytrap operation' on behalf of the KGB when he procured women for his network of associates, intelligence sources believe.

The files include 1,056 documents naming Russian President Vladimir Putin and 9,629 referring to Moscow.” - Daily Mail

“He deserved to be shot. He was sleeping in the trunk!”
DHS doesn’t even bother trying to lie well. The man whose skull was shattered told the hospital he’d been struck by ICE officers, an ICE officer told hospital staff the guy “got his sh*t rocked,” then when it became clear how badly he was injured, they claimed he deliberately ran into a wall.

Republicans have become adept at creating broad coalitions in which supporting Trump is the only requirement. Democrats get tied up with litmus tests.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
