A self-taught, post-capitalist, catholic eremite who tries to see the good in most things and people. It’s not always easy, but worth the try. If you give in to hate, evil wins. Anti-fascist to the core.

AOC’s proposed 70% top marginal tax rate, would apply to Americans making over $10 million a year.
What else would you expect from a radical democratic socialist…
Just ask President Eisenhower, whose top marginal tax rate was 91% on Americans making over $200K a year. (Approx. $2.2 million today).

It could have been worse.
Yes, #Putin walked all over #tRump. Yes, it was an outright PR victory for the Russians. No doubt about that.
BUT — at least it wasn’t a Munich, 1938. And that must be a relief for the Ukrainians. As difficult and tragic and as the continuation of the war is.

It’s a convenient distraction from the #EpsteinFiles.
And to raise the hopes of a narcissistic moron for a Nobel peace prize.

Trump seems bent on trying to shape the outcome of Russia’s war in Ukraine to Putin’s advantage. Call this summit what you will, but it's not "mediation."

I’d come to a point, where I’d resigned myself to the fact that until January 2029, the most inept, corrupt and moronic #POTUS in recent history will just have to be endured. Hey, it’s great for late night TV and cartoonists. But I must admit: I really miss professionalism.
