@RealTimers@billmaher@JohnFetterman@AbigailShrier@MattWelch@HBO@StreamOnMax I’m an avid watcher of your show. I may not always agree with everything you believe,but I respect and learn.
However,this has been bugging the shit out of me since last season.I’ve never, in all the years of watching you,seen you kiss anyone’s ass. Why Musk?🤮Thx for a response
To your credit, you have it partly right. The critique of Trump is that, yes, he *is* bad. Yes, he *is* evil.
That doesn’t mean, however, that everyone who supports him is all bad, or that everyone who opposes him is purely good.
That’s because Trump embodies the worst in *all* of us. For we are all human.
Trump revels in and glorifies our worst human traits: self-absorption, greed, mendacity, vindictiveness, ignorance, and so much else. He embodies all that we should aspire, and teach our children, not to be.
Worse yet, he gives permission for others to be their worst selves. And that is the ultimate danger he poses.
He’s a threat to truth, honor, reason, and decency. And that’s mostly without regard to policy—remember, Trump’s party is the party without a policy platform—although it does have implications for policy. But those are secondary.
First and foremost, Trump and Trumpism pose a moral test, not a political test.
I hope and pray and believe that our nation will pass and survive it.
Tuesday, I’ll go to Michigan to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create.
It’s time for a win-win agreement that keeps American auto manufacturing thriving with well-paid UAW jobs.
Sending people to jail for possessing marijuana has upended too many lives – for conduct that is legal in many states. That’s before you address the clear racial disparities around prosecution and conviction. Today, we begin to right these wrongs.
I’d also like to note that as federal and state regulations change, we still need important limitations on trafficking, marketing, and underage sales of marijuana.
Third: We classify marijuana at the same level as heroin – and more serious than fentanyl. It makes no sense. I’m asking @SecBecerra and the Attorney General to initiate the process of reviewing how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.
Second: I’m calling on governors to pardon simple state marijuana possession offenses. Just as no one should be in a federal prison solely for possessing marijuana, no one should be in a local jail or state prison for that reason, either.
First: I’m pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession. There are thousands of people who were previously convicted of simple possession who may be denied employment, housing, or educational opportunities as a result. My pardon will remove this burden.
As I’ve said before, no one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana.
Today, I’m taking steps to end our failed approach. Allow me to lay them out.

@TypeSafe692@Bjornapoor@Acosta I used to disagree with packing the courts. However, when one side refuses to “play fair” ex:Garland, then it’s time to cheat and play fair. Smdh.
The Republican proposal, led by Senator Rick Scott, would raise taxes on 6.1 million small business owners—including 82% of small business owners who earn less than $50,000 a year.
That’s just not right.
