Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

I look forward to working with President Trump when he stands with the working families of this country.

I will vigorously oppose him when he represents the needs of the billionaire class and wealthy special interests.

I was listening to 80's rock today and thought about how much longer songs seemed to be on average. I wonder if there has been an overall shift in music lengths? Maybe correlated with the change of music's role from communal to more personal entertainment?

I, for one, am a huge fan of the technology of the immovable political border, which has prevented more violence than any other technology in the history of mankind.

I liked the top comment "How about just paying your taxes?"
“Will pay any amount.”

Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

You tell 'em, Bernie! Solidarity to my fellow worker.
If there is truly a major shortage of skilled tech workers in the US, why did Tesla lay-off over 7,500 American workers last year — including many software developers and engineers at its factory in Austin, Texas—while applying to hire thousands of H-1B guest workers? www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: H1-B visas hurt one type of worker and exploit another. This mess must be fixed
Let's be clear: Multi-billionaire oligarchs in Big Tech should not be allowed to hire guest workers to fill entry-level and mid-level Information Technology jobs.

Apparently, Luigi Mangione's judge is married to a former Healthcare executive. I belive they should decide themselves due to conflict of interest. If you agree, you should let the court know at the following link!

Bayer a pharmaceutical company and Monsanto a pesticide company. Bayer bought Monsanto.

Bayer makes drugs to help with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Monsanto makes a chemical we use in the USA called glyphosate to spray on FOOD crops.

Glyphosate causes Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

This adaptation is crucial for the virus's potential to spread between humans.
