@SenWarren He just created 4,400 millionaires, many of whom were welders, cafeteria workers, and janitors. The only thing you've created is hot air. Shut the fuck up.

Quite the surreal morning in New Orleans today. We got a tour of the Saints and Pelicans facilities.
Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity. Once in a lifetime.
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
Been brushing up on the discourse and I’ve decided that every single person is richer than me is a greedy bastard and every single person poorer than me is a loser. I and only I have the exact right amount of money.
October, 2020. Brian Stelter does an entire segment on how a fake news story is crafted.
"Manufacturing a storyline." From Russia to TV, by Brian Stelter.
The story that Stelter was calling fake? The Hunter Biden laptop story.😂
Four years ago today, Politico published its infamous “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo” article. The bullshit Hunter Biden laptop letter — signed by 50+ ex-intel officials — falsely claimed Russian involvement. The October Surprise goal was to help Joe Biden defeat Trump.
