This is absolutely correct. I am not a trumper, so I am not going to use “Fake News” as a catch-all here, but this is some clickbait fact massaging bullshit and I don’t like it. It cheapens the source of the article and reduces the credibility, which is another reason people should be concerned here.

Anybody can…

- It’s an unfair comparison because I make more money and much of my wealth isn’t liquid so I would have to give a lot more than someone who has 1/5th of my income and would have more trouble giving it as it’s tied up in investments.

Yes, very misleading. When I was college-kid poor, I would sometimes give a dollar or two to a homeless person. That was sometimes 10% of my entire wealth. I now own a home, have a 401k. To be as ‘generous’ as my younger self, I would have to hand homeless people a stack of hundreds.

Eh, you can be house-rich but cash-poor pretty easily in this country. Just have been lucky enough to buy a house 30+ years ago and you’ve got (on average) $250k in assets just in the house alone. But that doesn’t mean you’re able to give $5,000/year in charitable donations (which is what the white’s average is).…

If I gave $100 to charity and you gave $5, BUT I earn $1000 and you earn $10, I still gave more. This is why it is misleading.

If you want to talk about pay differences, then talk about pay differences. If you want to ignore facts and print some click bait, then you ignore pay differences and call an entire race of peop…

H-how useful? Centrist Democrats - The DNC - are the only segment of the left that can actually win at this point. Yeah yeah, DSA this and that. Please get real. You will not use the platform the DNC built so that you can lose to Trump and his supporters. You will not have access to the funds we raise.

Shouting people down and vandalism.

The First Amendment only guarantees that the government can’t limit speech, not private enterprises. They had private security because this was a private event. If they called the police, you would be complaining how wrong it is that we are using the state’s power to silence political speech.

The irony of course is that it’s actually a crime to pirate Taylor Swift’s new CD or a DVD rip of Infinity War, but because the Liberator .380 isn’t actually copyrighted material you’re not stealing someone’s intellectual property when you download it.

Splinter is a GOP-Funded Russian Troll Farm Psyop designed to make progressives look 100% insane.

Exactly. Once this is out there, game over. The toothpaste can’t be put back in the tube. And I love the false equivalency they try to use - “you just need simple shop skills to be able to do it in your garage.” Maybe so, but the vast majority of people don’t have the necessary skills or equipment. Any idiot can buy a…

I share in this guy’s intents of nuclear disarmament and in publicly shaming the worst world leaders, but as a journalist it’s grossly irresponsible to be touting a viewpoint while covering an event, so it’s not terribly shocking that he’d get bounced.

Are you kidding? The revolution would put him out of a job. 

Seems like a lot of effort to go through to get arrested.

There are plenty of European nations that have socialist elements (hell, even the USA has those). I don’t think you’re gonna find anyone to the left of the American center that has a problem with that much.

It only upholds the “lite” travel ban, meaning only specific countries can be banned (no Syrian Christian exemptions) and there has to be a waiver process. The SCOTUS rarely makes rulings trying to judge intentions. Their job is to decide if this is legal under executive authority. Because it only pertains to foreign…

To be fair...is this really a story? Simply running for office isn’t a high bar to get over, especially since he’s not being endorsed by any major party. Crazies exist all over the place (even if this brand of crazy is, umm, on a totally different level).

“It’s far more important to pick every fight you can for appearance’s sake, even if it’s one you will lose, because optics matter more than anything.” ~ The Progressive Handbook (pg. 3)

I don’t know how Musk does it. He sells water to a well every 6 months.

Do you by any chance drink?
