Republicans have salivated over replacing income taxes with sales taxes forever - poor people spend all of their income buying things, while wealthy people have piles of excess money to invest and save, so it’s a massive transfer of the tax burden onto the working class. Economic warfare.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Vance and Trump wouldn't have lasted two seconds in Zelensky's position after the invasion. What fucking assholes and what a disaster for our country.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.
ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Wow, go watch right now. Trump is having a shocking narcissistic meltdown. Over Ukraine’s future. He’s making it about Hunter Biden. It’s about the Vice President whining about Ukraine not thanking Trump for putting them in such a difficult position. Totally disgusting, totally childish.

First measles death in the USA in a decade. Making Diseases Great Again! Anti-vaxxers and anti-science MAGAland bringing back preventable illnesses. That didn’t take long.
An unvaccinated child died from measles during an outbreak in West Texas. This was completely preventable.

Here are the routes I flew for work in 2024. This year was a low-water mark for us for travel, less than even 2020. There were some reasons: I was in training for the 777 for a month and then on reserve as a junior captain, and they just plain (plane?) didn’t need me to cover much!

The more I consider the eulogies for Jimmy Carter, the more I’m disgusted and angry with the situation we’re in with our incoming President and his acolytes who coddle lawlessness and bullying and are polar opposites to Carter’s intellectual, moral, decent, principled leadership.

Listen to this pilot for tips for avoiding holiday traffic at the airport: go by bike! (Ok, most airports have been designed to kill you unless you arrive by car but for those that don’t…) @streetsblogla.bsky.social @waroncars.bsky.social #LAX #LAWA @ladotofficial.bsky.social @ladotr.bsky.social
