Thank you. Came here to say something similar. Why is Kylie taking this at face value & concluding the guy is broke when he’s JUST the type of wingnut to keep all his money in cash/gold bullion/crypto/offshore accounts instead of trusting the “corrupt” banking system/swamp.

Unless the government is actually handing him a paper check for his pay, he’d have to have an account somewhere. The fact that one doesn’t show up makes me wonder what Caribbean island he banks with.

My reading was that the Daily Beast had that take because they have no hard evidence (yet) of him lying, but wanted to write a big profile on the fact that this makes no sense.

According to the bombshell report, Johnson “has never reported a checking or savings account in his name, nor in the name of his wife or any of his children,” and nor does he disclose any assets or stocks.

This. I am much more confident that Johnson is blatantly not disclosing his holdings for reasons that make sense only to him, rather than that he has no money.

Makes the fact that his first big act is to push for defunding the IRS that much more understandable.

So he’s laundering money. 

I don’t understand why nuance is so hard for people here. Hamas can be totally wrong, and Israel’s response to Hamas can be totally wrong. Don’t know why so many people think they have to pick a side and pretend it’s all rosy.

Since she’s so well versed in King’s words and legacy, I wonder how Amy missed his Letter From Birmingham Jail. Or literally anything he said about Vietnam.

Yep. I have no problem describing Hamas’s slaughter of 1,400 Israeli civilian, wounding of 5,400 more, as despicable barbarism. I’m confused about why I would describe Israel’s actions that have slaughtered twice as many children as anything other than despicable barbarism.  But I have this weird thing where I think…

Hey white people , if you could stop shoe-horning MLK into every fucking bad political take you have that’d be great, m’kay?

100%. I will not be forgetting these celebrities who make it clear that they have zero issues with the deaths of thousands and thousands of Palestinians to “avenge” October 7. As a Jew myself, seeing the responses to genocide is just appalling. Seeing people still contort themselves after yesterday’s bombing of a…

When +8,300 people have been bombed to shit, most of them were civilians, half of them were children, and you’re rooting against a cease-fire, you’re the problem.

Funny how it’s often the people who are too old to worry about unwanted pregnancies, that are the most staunchly anti-abortion. It’s almost like they don’t give a shit because a ban on abortion wouldn’t negatively impact their lives.

DeWine did do a hilarious press conference the day after the August election, where the measure that would have required 60% of the vote to pass a citizen-led amendment issue got crushed. Once that ballot measure failed, Republicans were faced with the reality that 1. abortion is broadly popular in Ohio and 2. they…

There is something so pathetic about someone who has to constantly tell you how much of a manly man he is...

“Bush ‘won’ by 537.”

Any man claiming to be 5'11" is at most 5'9". Men who are between 5'10" and 5'11" all claim 6'.

Basically the same as Trump claiming to be 6'3".

in other nations you can’t be an “inactive” voter unless you died, jfc.  it’s not a driver’s license that expires! i hate this for you.
