@_itzsammy Corporate power has reached historic heights.

[Cletus the Sports Jawed Yokel @Cletustwtf]

@KellMorrHK @_itzsammy That chart looks great the problem is 100k is not what should determine middle income. That is an arbitrary breakpoint that is no longer accurate in terms of purchasing power. But let's look at where it came from, AEI. So stop cherry picking

[Cletus the Sports Jawed Yokel @Cletustwtf]

Very good question and the answer is Milton friedman. He was the one that took centuries of corporate behaviors regarding taking care of employees and tossed it out by declaring that the only thing that matters is shareholder returns. The corporate elites jumped on it and it became the mantra that led to Reagan. It all started there

[Cletus the Sports Jawed Yokel @Cletustwtf]

Your point is completely irrelevant to the question of inequality @dirtreport . Aside from the ridiculous tax sheltering that companies have learned how to master as they've grown internationally even a company that is worth a trillion dollars does not justify the CEO to suppress wages knowingly. Corporate profits are at a 70 year high while inequality is at also a 70 year high. That is not a coincidence

[Cletus the Sports Jawed Yokel @Cletustwtf]

Thank you for calling him out. The preponderance of evidence both statistically as well as from documented voting and declared objectives starting with the Reagan administration should leave no doubt as to how we got here in terms of inequality yet people like this dumbass will continue to blindly support those who are suppressing their own success

@bofrench I've met you multiple times LONG before you ran for any office. You were a smug asshole then and you've only become a worse human since. FUCK - and I mean this sincerely - OFF

@bofrench Who are these donors who are putting their money into a drain

@KevinOlm19 There's nothing controversial about that. I'm fairly certain you have 100% agreement from fans

@AOC you're 1 of my FAVORITES! So WHY did you say,
"There is one candidate in this race, Hakeem Jeffries."???
I'm one of the Texans than flipped the state. You're part of the NYC cabal it appears. WTF?
@TheDemocrats @HouseDemocrats @DNC LISTEN TO THE VOTERS!

I’m old enough to remember Republicans completely losing it when they falsely accused Zohran Mamdani and AOC of laughing at the 9/11 memorial.

Where are all their angry tweets today?

[Cletus the Sports Jawed Yokel @Cletustwtf]

@JohnLeguizamo You're missing a couple critical things:
1. Election Day must be a federal holiday with banks closed and any employee allowed to leave work to vote
2. Allow ALL citizens the right to vote with weight: make PR & DC states

[Cletus the Sports Jawed Yokel @Cletustwtf]

@Sportsguy1973 @heartland_grump @StephenM What's the most sad @sportsguy1973 is that even when an historic election slaps MAGA in the face, they refuse to see their arguments were, are, and always will be absent of critical thinking. They truly are lost

@evan_AtoZ with a click bait article that's hard to not scroll through. I love these sorts of lists. The problem is revisionist history. Those of us who are older know this is a bad list. But still fun to think about

@MrJae16 @whatdafaqshow Did you notice the back of the plane doesn't exist and there are pillars? It's not fucking really and so fucking stupid

@aintscarylarry I hope @Riley_Gaines_ see this.

2,000. Wow. 0.0005714% of the US population.
(1) The majority are women and children. Get a grip.
(2) You could have this occur every day for a year and it wouldn't mathematically change a thing.
(3) You pretend that Dems believe in wide open borders which is patiently false
(4) Get some perspective.

[Cletus the Sports Jawed Yokel @Cletustwtf]

@zerodarkwokey @OnePissedYinzer I was about to make the same point. For decades we've heard this false narrative to suppress wage growth but time and again data shows the fears never materialize. (Kind of how "tax cuts on the wealthy and corporations spur supply side growth" NEVER materializes.)

[Cletus the Sports Jawed Yokel @Cletustwtf]

As a service disabled veteran myself on this Veterans Day I wonder how many MAGA faithful still have some belief that this administration gives a shit about Americans. Disabled veterans should never suffer, yet this administration has gone out of its way to make it the standard
