His mom and sister died in a horrific car crash when he was a kid, his brother died early from cancer and his dad was the president. I think we can cut the man some slack
Right! And we are all brainwashed to think it’s something to aspire to. I know this is old but the difference between one million and one billion is so vast I think people can’t comprehend it. One million seconds equals is 11.5 days. One billion seconds is 31.7 Years. And Elon is about to be a trillionaire. That would be 31,700 years. Now do the math in dollars. And the fact is that no one in the history of the world has ever attained that wealth by any other means then some form of domination over others. I do not begrudge financial success, but I do have a real problem when the the top 0.1% (130,000 families) hold 6 times the wealth as the bottom 66 million households combined. Put another way 905 individuals in America have twice the wealth of the entire bottom half of the country- 165,000,000 people. And it wasn’t always this way. The top 0.1 percent’s share of the U.S. wealth pie has grown 59.6 percent since just 1989.
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
In the US, spending on data center construction now exceeds spending on public transportation infrastructure — including airports, marine terminals, and all mass transit.
Today is the Israel Day Parade in NYC. This event celebrates a nation state that is guilty of ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and genocide.
As Jewish New Yorkers, we are very glad that @NYCMayor is not attending.
Let's take a look at the kinds of Israeli officials attending today.
Recent retiree Greg Bovino traveled to Portugal to attend a Nazi conference, gave an interview citing Nazi general Erwin Rommel as an inspirational figure, and wore his regulation SS haircut.
When is it ok to start calling them Nazis? Or is that still too polarizing?
It just dawned on me what they are actually proposing.
They aren’t going to release the sanctioned Iranian funds, they are going to get the US and GCC to put money into an “international reconstruction investment fund” so they can dole contracts out to Kushner and his cronies.
LOL holy crap this administration is so corrupt it’s actually stunning at times.
In 2024, President Biden released a six-page physical packed with real medical history, medications, labs, conditions, and specialist reviews.
The press, including Ed, still beat the hell out of him and @K_JeanPierre.
Tonight, Trump releases a 3-page propaganda memo pretending he’s Superman while admitting he’s 238 pounds, on cholesterol drugs, taking aspirin, had swelling and bruising, and was told to lose weight.
And the press shrugs.
That cowardly, useless, access-obsessed double standard is exactly how we got here.
Biden gave them a medical report and got dragged for months.
Trump gave them fan fiction on White House letterhead, and they clap like trained seals.
Sick.
