World is complicated, wanting it to be simple doesn't make it simple.

In my new book, I explain what solidified my anti-populist views. It wasn't the stupid people. It was meeting the smartest people on the right and learning that their brains had been ruined by the bad epistemics of the movement.

Didn't think it was possible to replace Sepp Blatter with someone more corrupt, but with Gianni Infantino, FIFA might have actually managed it.

[Albert Ortega @AlbertOrtegaES1]

No sois conscientes del asco que me da la FIFA, pero aquí va un texto corto para que os hagáis una idea.

Han modificado el Mundial con unas "pausas de hidratación" que solo sirven para recaudar más dinero y han alterado la dinámica de los partidos

Han maltratado a Irán con un trato desigual durante todo el torneo, donde debían entrar y salir cada día que jugaban en Estados Unidos.

Han permitido la expulsión del mejor árbitro africano, Omar Artan, por supuestos vínculos terroristas no demostrados.

Han limitado el papel de México y Canadá en el Mundial con solo 13 partidos en sus países por los 78 de Estados Unidos.

Han convertido el fútbol en un producto de lujo con unos precios vergonzosos.

Han aumentado el número de equipos para disparar sus ingresos por derechos televisivos, no por el espectáculo, la calidad o por dar más oportunidades.

Han destrozado el Mundial de 2030 con partidos en 7 países de 3 continentes distintos.

@GG_Jayce @Microinteracti1 @RabbitEthereal Yeah, nobody ever craves pizza, pasta, beefsteak, crepes, gelato or chocolate cake… 🙃

You're either lying or are an idiot

To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding.

A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.

When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.

You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.

In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency.

With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

@ggreenwald @gioman62 Oh, you are not even going to pretend to be principled? Okay…

So depressing that Bernie’s stump speech has to change to “the millionaihs and billionaihs and trillionaihs” now. We have lost. We’ve fixed nothing.

It is a moral failure of our country that we changed the rules to create a trillionaire while doing nothing about the 771,000 homeless and over 18 million who do not have enough to eat.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

“No one gives a sh*t about housing.”

“If [gas prices] rise, they rise.”

"I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation."

"I love the inflation."

Donald Trump really is a man of the people, isn't he?

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

HE REALLY BELIEVES THIS.
Trump’s mind works by inventing a narrative for every situation that provides him the maximum narcissistic supply. He repeats it until it sinks in—to himself and his cult.

He shapes reality around his grandiose delusions.
He’s incredibly ill.

[Taj Ali @Taj_Ali1]

I don’t want to hear any bullshit about “legitimate concerns” and “working class revolt”

It’s working-class Black and brown people being pushed out of their homes. This is racist violence and intimidation. Don’t dress it up as anything else.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

They call it “inflation” when prices rise. They call it “the market” when CEOs raise them. They call it “communism” when workers demand enough to live.

@Aaron_E_Paul @Glinner Why would you have nasty feelings for the obvious gayness? What's it to you?

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

[Randy Hillier @randyhillier]

It appears Iran has got everything they had on Feb 27th, plus a scheduled release of frozen Iranian assets, $300 Billion in reparations, passage fees for the straits (with Oman), and the removal of the USA military from the Gulf.

What happened to Trump's demands for Iran's unconditional surrender?

[Chris Wynes @cjwynes]

@tomieinlove @captgouda24 It’s takes a real sort of fool to be so smart you invent the thing that obsoletes intelligence. For the first time in 10k yrs smart people had the advantage over jocks, and it lasted less than a single lifetime before they put Chad and Stacy on top again. Just an amazing own-goal

@thejayscott They are a real ethnic group. There are so many Jews that are atheists, and not religious in the slightest

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Bernie's 5% wealth tax would:
-Raise starting teacher pay to $60,000
-Give $12,000 to a working family of 4
-Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing
-Guarantee universal childcare
-End homelessness

Bezos would see his wealth drop from $279 billion to $265 billion. Poor guy.
