Sadly, he is. This is what the enemy looks like. It is simply not possible to ethically acquire even a tenth of the wealth that he hoards for himself. The damage he has caused in acquiring and retaining that wealth is far greater than his net worth.
The sooner he starts his redemption arc, the better.
Gabe and Swift are not obligate billionaires. They both have the capacity to adjust their wealth to avoid the cutoff.
Everybody. Fucking everybody.

Technically, pedophilia is considered a mental disorder. it’s listed in the DSM-V. Pedophiles could be considered mentally ill.
Hebophilia and ephebophilia aren’t illnesses. They are crimes.
The whole workaholic culture you’re talking about doesn’t really apply to politics. It’s simply not the same as in other professions.
I agree fully. In most other professions, a workaholic culture is not particularly harmful to anyone but the workaholic. An exception would be “management of laborers” where the workaholic is charged with directing the lives and livelihoods of rank and file workers. A more important exception is “politics”, where the workaholic is charged with legislating policy. It is in fields like these where workaholic culture is most damaging to all of society.
This is truly ageist nonsense.
I haven’t mentioned anything about health or mental acuity or enfeeblement. I haven’t mentioned anything about making room for the next generation. All those issues came from you. Don’t lay that “ageist” horseshit on me. Also don’t lay that “authoritarian lunacy” charge at me: I didn’t say she should be prevented from running. She shouldn’t run. It should be infeasible for her to run as a freshman state senator. Anyone who ever wants to be able to retire at a reasonable time in their lives should look at her proximity to retirement age and decide she is not the best option.
My position is “shares our values”. “Working yourself into the fucking grave” is not a value that should be shared or promoted in any way among our political representatives. We should be appalled at anyone of retirement age deliberately choosing to work for others. I happen to hold that particular value in rather high regard.
Sometimes as you get older, you gain a sense of duty to the community that raised you; sometimes it’s naked ambition.
And I have no problems whatsoever with a workaholic in a philanthropic or corporate role, or working for themselves. Most are still capable, many are still willling to work. But looking around my community, most are forced to work long past retirement age. They don’t get to retire on time (or sometimes at all) because the workaholic attitudes in our legislatures have not established a culture in which retirement is valued. They set the expectation for working into their 80s and 90s. They devalue retirement.
Bernie Sanders is another workaholic. He clearly doesn’t have a personal goal of “retirement”. He doesn’t share that value. The overwhelming majority of his position is great, but his personal attitude toward work is not.
When you fill the legislative chamberwith workaholics, you should not be surprised when you get workaholic legislation.
I want to be able to retire some day. I want my representatives to share that value. Working significantly past retirement age indicates they do not. This pervasive attitude among both parties is at the root of our economic issues. We are not establishing a society that promotes and supports people in their retirement.
Her mother reached retirement age in 2005. Instead of retiring at a reasonable age, she decided to keep working for another 21 years. That workaholic attitude is a massive problem.
Christine is trying to start her public service career at age 60. California state senators can serve up to three 4-year terms, making her 72 before she is forced out of that position. And she’s not likely to end her career in the California senate.
Whatever district she ends up running for would be better off finding someone 53 or younger to serve as a freshman state senator. A 53-year-old candidate would be able to serve three full terms before reaching retirement age.
6 years from retirement age.
A workaholic attitude toward life is far worse for all of us than a right-wing ideology. Our political representatives believe it virtuous to work into the grave, so none of us get to retire.
She’s 59. She should be thinking about retirement, not running.

Based on that neck, I’d say his masturbatory habits are predominantly oral.
Sadly I could so see that happening… and some crazy stupid arguement that bypasses the term limits because democrat trump is considered a new candidate
Nah, nothing crazy. Turns out we’ve all been looking at the 22nd amendment all wrong. Here’s the relevant clause:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,
"No person shall be elected more than twice. The 22nd amendment only applies to persons. It was never intended to apply to GodKing Trump.
The DNC’s strategy is for Trump to run as a Democrat in 2028.
I think I’m cracking up!
We can spend 80 hours a week from now until the midterms, promoting progressives. The question is what we should do when those leftists don’t actually appear on the ballot. Until the DNC realizes centrist candidates can’t win a general election, it doesn’t really matter what we do in the primaries.
When there are no progressives to vote for, rejecting their garbage candidates is the only path to progress.
Also-also: it happened in October, not in January.
In my example, the indefinite “you” is an orange doofus who arrived in January.
I was a little inconsistent on who wanted to bury him and who was stopping him from being buried. Suffice it to say that everyone involved is terrible, and the best we can hope for is a giant meteor.
Basically, I explained both “What” and “Why”.
That violates the very first Rule of Acquisition. You clearly don’t have the lobes for business.
So, imagine you live at home in a completely dysfunctional family. You are responsible for grocery shopping. Your mother gives you $600 a month, and a weekly grocery list for $200 a week. You have to buy everything on the list. You can’t take more than $600 a month.
When you run out of money, your mom berates you for overspending. When you don’t buy everything on the list, she berates you for not doing your job.
That’s our federal government under normal conditions.
Now imagine that you’re a total piece of shit, but your abusive father won’t let your mother strangle you and bury you in the back yard.
That’s our federal government since January.
I would prioritize a VPN ahead of an ISP. Free Open/Public APs are not uncommon in my area.
