@BriannaWu @CheriJacobus I've said it before and I'll keep saying it: the gathering of great wealth is as addictive as any drug or game of chance. the main difference is we give these addicts great power to affect thousands and millions. and their actions are all just like addicts looking for a fix

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@PonchoRebound you could have ended the sentence with the word "ads"

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@clwnwrldobsrvr @guardian apparently you aren't, as someone who believes establishment orgs or any media owned by the wealthy has a left bent.

US Media is all right - it's all owned by uberwealthy folks who, as history shows, are apolitical at the core- they "believe" whatever gives them the most $.

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@clwnwrldobsrvr @guardian Billionaire like money, tax breaks and deregulated business, so they buy politicians to get these things.
The only political view most billionaires hold is whatever gives them the most $ - they don't share their true thoughts with the masses.

so sure, Bunky, they are left.😂🤪

@bigjccincyfan @RexChapman and that's just two reasons.

Your guy threatens his enemies, lies with impunity, and every notable mind agrees his tariffs plan would cause a recession (maybe a depression) and is outdated by 100 years. WE pay the tariffs not the other countries or their companies.

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@bigjccincyfan @RexChapman 1) manufacturing is starting to return thanks to the chip act this admin passed that has companies investing here
2) even the WSJ says we have recovered w the most robust economy in the post pandemic world, even if it is rigged for the wealthy, regardless of their politics.

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@clwnwrldobsrvr @guardian You’re a fool if you think billionaires have a political bent beyond whatever gives them more money and power.

They are money addicts plain and simple.

And you’re a midwit c*nt to believe anything else.

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@DaveGrohlsBaby @tomcolicchio perhaps your wage was, but that wasn't the case for most.

Tom cites evidence. You're random guy on the internet who knows everything, unless you have evidence to backup your point.

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@BenMathisLilley It's very unfortunate that our entire view of the political system is reduced to ideas of right & left & all the cultural baggage each "side" invokes.

it's a joke to think that mass media owned by billionaires addicted to $ ever promotes anything against their $ interests

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@EdPimp132941 @ItsDeanBlundell But you still do all that shit yourself though. Of course it's harder to do it well than most people think.
Most people do it all themselves and aren't getting $100k an episode. And they are smart/courteous enough not respond to folks they don't know by calling them dummy, dummy

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@colleen_ramirez @brianros1 partially because the leaders, pundits and industry heads, who ought to know better, are pushing the dumbassery as the truth, all in hopes of even more profits... because apparently record breaking profits are still not enough for them.

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@cw_forrest @PoliticusSarah Perhaps because the metrics we use mostly measure what benefits the wealthy?

But by all means vote for candidates who feel that despite record profits, corporations are still hamstrung by paying their share of taxes and that is the problem.

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@DrCalumMiller @rmsteinborn @ask_aubry Impressive. Looking at your condescending and aggressive replies you seem to lack any empathy. Which is a known issue w medical Drs today. And when given a thoughtful and reply you disappear. Grow up.

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@peterdaou If you think voting for the narcissistic, incompetent, petulant, immigrant demonizing, white supremacist, greedy ass dictator wanna be is morally right (and any vote for anyone but Harris is a vote for him) then you are either lying through your teeth, a moron, or both.

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@CampbellNewman hey Einstein - how do you think that Welfare System you refer to is funded?

And man, my condolences. It's hard enough to go through life stupid. But to be stupid AND cruel and to advertise to that everyone like you're spitting out eternal truths, oh man, that's a whopper.

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@mfproudman @dfunkedtt @JamesFallows People are speaking Trump VS Hitler and you use FoxNews style "analysis" in which you automatically change it to calling out Trump is calling out *anyone*.

Nvrmnd how terribly un-astute and reductive your initial comment was, this is far worse. Spare us further "commentary"

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@james_jinnette1 @danawhite right? it's pretty breathtaking how no VP has ever ever been in charge of aid in a natural disaster before but somehow, magically now VP Harris is.

If you dudes could figure out the start of your sentences rarely match the end perhaps you'd be more logical with your lies

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@jhoffman great interview!

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@maysoonzayid this is correct.... if you apply it to all the anti abortion people.

it's fucking idiotic to speak of the gaza, or any middle eastern war, situation like this.

now please sit down.

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@ManMadeMoon but it's the billionaires, many who have prominent influence on if not outright owning most mass media, who are leaning into Trump harder than ever.

[Christopher Lee (Barrett) @dr_vorhees]

@tomcolicchio Everything.

He's a scared little man who's spent his whole life trying to handle that by being a tough guy bully. Of course he needs others to do his bullying for him most of the time.
