Amid the backdrop that more than a dozen members of Trump's Cabinet are billionaires, a reminder that this is what happened to income inequality in this country once the tax rate for top earners was slashed after 1980. Trickle down does not work and top earners' priority is themselves.

EUROPEAN ROBIN: a precious feather baby, a ruddy sky dumpling, a good friend, will help you find your keys, full of ice cream

Every court filing in a high-profile case is a document that will likely be viewed by a larger audience than just the judge and opposing parties. And it should be written with that larger audience in mind.

This was. That's not the problem.

The problem is that their larger audience is 4chan.

Favorite trick-or-treater of the night so far was the little ghost who, when I asked, “what’s your favorite candy?” said “TWO!” and took 2 candy bars 🤣

My favorite candy is also two candies, buddy
