Piers: “Iran is no threat to the US?”
John Mearsheimer: “No.”
Morgan: “They fund terrorist groups bent on Israel’s destruction.”
John: “You’re baking the idea that Iran is a threat to Israel, and that any threat to Israel is a threat to the U.S. I don’t buy that argument.”
Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:
“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.
Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’
I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.
Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”

Bernie Sanders: "Massie was defeated by $9 million from AIPAC and $7 million from Trump mega donors. His great crime? Opposed the war in Iran. Demanded the Epstein files be opened. Refused to be a rubber stamp."
The system isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed. To crush anyone who threatens the donor class. Anyone who puts America before Israel. Anyone who opens files that powerful people want closed

Fran Lebowitz on the billionaires: “Every time someone suggests [a wealth tax] they say I’m moving. Go! They add nothing to New York. In the 19th century, those robber barons, they employed people. All this money magic employs no one. Goodbye, go. We don’t need you”
Former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Netanyahu:
He told me in July 2009 that the Iranian regime was fragile and would crumble at the first attack.
I told him then he was dead wrong — that he was underestimating the resilience of the Iranians.
This is what he's been trying to sell for years.
The man who did nothing but cause confusion, senator Lindsey Graham is about to fall after 23 years collecting taxpayer’s monies doing nothing for South Carolinians .
Looks like Lindsay Graham is going to lose his SC seat after 23 years. At this point it's like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic at this point. I don't care, I'm tired of the pied piper and his rats.
If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections?
When citizens need these things, why is it socialism?
