The 80th percentile of retirees earns about $100,000 from social security, pensions, and retirememt investments. Most of that is taxable, including 85% of their Social Security. I don’t think others are struggling because 20% of retirees have an income above 100,000 or own an appreciated home. There is no cause and effect there.

If the government took Elon’s shares they would become near worthless. The shares worth is a bet on the future, based substantially on Elon‘s leadership. If all the shares were placed on the market at once it would drive the price down. It would be a society eating its seed corn.

@ProudofusUK The importation of African slaves into the U.S. was outlawed in 1808, made the equivalent of piracy, punishable by death in 1820. The ship was engaged in an illegal activity.

@bonchieredstate We’ve been told it is irritating for Blacks to be presumed to be dangerous, and I’m sure it is. Now we are advised that parents should educate their children that Blacks are volatile and should be dealt with cautiously, in other words, presume they are dangerous.

@JessicaTetreau I’m sure she doesn’t view herself as rich. Wants are insatiable. If she could just acquire power over the truly rich, more money and prestige would flow to her.

@KurtSchlichter Someone who thinks having government contracts is a sign of corruption, but who probably thinks the government isn’t doing enough.

What is the alternative source for the services the government buys from SpaceX? Are those companies equally despicable because they take govt contracts, or respond to govt incentives like making clean air vehicles. If doing business with the government is such a dirty business, isn’t that the fault of the government?

Where have you proved his entire wealth was from market destroying leftist subsidies? Did other manufacturers not have the ability to earn regulatory credits? What did Nevada get in exchange for rebates and grants? Any other plant owners get credit for creating manufacturing plants? Why aren’t they trillionaires?

Post office doesn’t date stamp until it goes through a machine possibly days later. They accept ballots for 7 days after the election. If they adhered to the policy of postmarks by election day that they supposedly require they wouldn’t have so much uncertainty of how many ballots there are. They accept a date written on the envelope.

@fTidderwallow @xnoesbueno He spotlighted the NGO graft that funded Democrats, after breaking their censorship of social media. They care more about the graft than ideology.

@awstar11 I wonder how many people who are not upset by the tattoo are confused by which tattoo it is the issue, the original or the covered up. The covered up one is obscure, the original anything but.

Non- hispanic whites are a minority making up just 35% of the California population. They don’t make up 35% of the admitted students at UC campuses in general or UC Davis med school in particular, so they are an underrepresented minority but never recognized as such. Across the nine undergraduate campuses, admits are roughly 39% Hispanic/Latino(a), 33% Asian American, 18% White, 6% African American, and 1% native American. UC admits don’t look like California, whites are the only underrepresented demographic.

@BrettErickson28 Occupying Kharg island doesn’t make much sense and Trump has long valued surprise. It’s the end of pipelines that Iran can shut off, so the idea that controlling the island means possession of the oil is false. I think Trump has other plans.

The problem is cumulative.
Weak eligibility verification when registering
Excessive ballot mailings to people who shouldn’t be on the rolls.
Legalized ballot harvesting to gather those ballots
Buying votes or ballots
Lack of effective signature checking.
Lack of ballot security in transit
Counting process
Fraud at the margins at each step can be impactful even if at each step it is deemed not enough to change result.

@newjez @visegrad24 The large majority of the gun deaths in the U.S. are suicides. The rate of suicide per 100,000 people in the US (13.7) and the UK (11.1) are not that dissimilar So there is not a cause and effect relationship between guns and suicide rate.

Absentee ballots were the norm in this election, and the state accepts them for ten days after election day, so Ro’s theory of counting absentees first doesn’t conform with reality. If you want to count faster you need to require all the ballots to have been received on or prior to the election day.

[DougH @MSsilverside]

If you concede that their is fraud at the margins, every step of the way, from voter registration, to ballot mailing addresses, to false signatures, to false dating of the signatures, witnessing if the signatures, ballot collection and handling, to counting, the cumulative effect is meaningful

[DougH @MSsilverside]

@bonchieredstate @neoavatara @yesh222 If you know that ballot harvesting is going to be on a huge scale with ballots distributed willy-nilly because it benefits one party, that is cheating. A systems true purpose is shown by what it does, especially when it goes on for years uncorrected.

@torohaha @greg_price11 The standard of proof in a civil suit is a preponderance of the evidence, not beyond a reasonable doubt. Weakens the argument that the case determined truth of Carroll‘s claims. The jury was not allowed to hear that a political operative funded Carroll’s suit.
