First, my pledge: More than 99% of my wealth will go to philanthropy during my lifetime or at death. Measured by dollars, this commitment is large. In a comparative sense, though, many individuals give more to others every day.
Buffett is nearly 91 years old. In the next 5-10 years nearly all of his wealth will be donated to charity. The world will benefit from the near-totality of Buffett’s wealth, and very soon.
The charities which will receive that money will do a far better job with it than will the Federal government.
Sorry, YLB. No free money for you from the Buffett tap.

The 25 richest Americans are collectively worth $1.1 trillion. It takes 14.3 million average wage earners to tally the same wealth. The average earner group paid literally 70 times as much in income taxes in 2018 as the 25.
There’s another lesson here. A more important lesson.
If fleecing the richest Americans of 100% of their wealth only gets you $1.1 trillion, there is not nearly enough money to pay for all of the liberal wish list items.
You’re gonna have to tax everybody. YLB understands this, but won’t admit to it, because then she’d have to agree to pay into the pot just like everyone else, rather than taking from it as she has done her whole life.
The problem is that people like The Even Bigger Fucking Moron will never be able to understand it.
OK, the first $1.1 trillion comes from stringing up the 25 richest Americans and stealing every dime of wealth they possess.
YLB, where will the fifth trillion come from?
How about the tenth trillion?
The twelfth trillion?
For the #BLM crowd to realize their collective dream, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit’s family will have to be skinned and their shithole completely cleaned out and sold for scrap. He’s nowhere near the millionaire he claims to be, but you don’t make reparations without stealing everything his family has managed to acquire.
Even YLB’s kids are gonna see their iPads and flat-screen TVs carted off to pay the “debt”.
Every time Team Biden talks trillions, this is what it means if you take them literally.
I rather doubt Puddy was expecting to see a dime of that money.
So it was all bullshit.. Typical for a klownservatic. Just a prop to spout a silly grievance.

YLB, I can’t wait until you take that next step and go after Dr. King.
Sealed FBI audio tapes allege Martin Luther King Jr. had affairs with 40 women and watched while a friend raped a woman, a report claims
According to The Times, a memo accompanying the tape alleges King “looked on and laughed” as a pastor of Baltimore’s Cornerstone Baptist Church raped a woman in the hotel room. The pastor died in 1991.
The FBI documents say King had a conversation in which he “discussed which women among the parishioners would be suitable for natural and unnatural sex acts,” The Times wrote, citing Garrow’s article.
“When one of the women protested that she did not approve, the Baptist minister immediately and forcibly raped her,” The Times wrote, quoting the FBI documents.
Garrow wrote that the FBI agents did not intervene during the alleged rape.
And there’s this:
The King Center declined to comment on the report.
The tapes will be unsealed from the National Archives in 2027. So we’ll hear them before we get to see the Khalidi tape.
King was a very, very imperfect man. Does not reduce the importance of his existence, YLB. Same thing applies to Gates.

Administration officials perplexed by Harris’ border answer and worry it will overshadow her trip
“At some point, you know, we are going to the border,” Harris said in the interview. “We’ve been to the border. So this whole, this whole, this whole thing about the border. We’ve been to the border. We’ve been to the border.”
Holt responded: “You haven’t been to the border.”
“I, and I haven’t been to Europe. And I mean, I don’t — I don’t understand the point that you’re making,” Harris said with a laugh.
She’s quickly gaining notoriety as someone who laughs when cornered. It’s not cute, it’s not funny, and she’s coming off as incompetent.
Because she is incompetent.
Now Team Biden has to come up with a way of sending someone important to the border – “at some point” – without having to address the administration’s repeated and growing border failures.
Even Democrats conceded the trip hadn’t gone as well as it was intended.
“She is going to be haunted by this trip and this issue for as long as she is in politics,” said one Democratic strategist, in no uncertain terms. “The border is a thorny issue and she can’t win inside her party and she’ll be targeted for these comments for a long time from Republicans.”

This is the kind of inane shit that Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit tries to pull.
Former adviser recounts John Edwards’ wife baring chest during confrontation about affair
During a session at Edwards’ corruption trial that saw his 30-year-old daughter flee the courtroom in tears, Christina Reynolds described how a very upset Elizabeth Edwards stormed away from her husband in October 2007, then collapsed in a ball on the pavement outside a private airplane hangar. Reynolds and another woman guided the anguished wife into a nearby ladies room to compose herself, but she soon returned to the private hangar to again confront her husband.
In front of several staff members, the woman who had endured grueling treatments for breast cancer took off her shirt and bra, exposing her chest.
“‘You don’t see me anymore,’” Reynolds quoted Elizabeth Edwards as screaming. “He didn’t have much of a reaction.”
Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit recently exposed himself to his wife in much the same way.
“You don’t see me anymore”, Dumbfuck Rabbit screamed at his wife, as he stood there with his Depends around his ankles and his front-and-back catheters dangling between his knobby knees.
“You haven’t been able to get it up this millenium, and your pannus hangs so low I wouldn’t be able to see it if you could”, was her reaction.
It had to be pretty disappointing if the publisher of the LA Times spiked it.

Well, well, what have we here.
The Texas AG is facing potential professional discipline for filing frivolous lawsuits, or at least a frivolous lawsuit, to wit:
“The Texas bar association is investigating whether state Attorney General Ken Paxton’s failed efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election based on bogus claims of fraud amounted to professional misconduct.
“The State Bar of Texas initially declined to take up a Democratic Party activist’s complaint that Paxton’s petitioning of the U.S. Supreme Court to block Joe Biden’s victory was frivolous and unethical. But a tribunal that oversees grievances against lawyers overturned that decision late last month and ordered the bar to look into the accusations against the Republican official.
“The investigation is yet another liability for the embattled attorney general, who is facing a years-old criminal case, a separate, newer FBI investigation, and a Republican primary opponent who is seeking to make electoral hay of the various controversies. It also makes Paxton one of the highest profile lawyers to face professional blowback over their roles in Donald Trump’s effort to delegitimize his defeat.”
Giuliani and Sidney Powell should be dragged before the disciplinary boards of their bar associations, too.

Roger Rabbitspews:
The interesting — and heartening — thing about this is that of the thousands of Republican judges in this country, not one is as unethical as these characters are. Not a single one.

Well, we know that government discriminates, but social justice is always trying to address that. Charities do not have the same pressure to be equitable.
This goes back to the racists who filled in the public pools rather than allow black people to swim in them.
Government helps everyone, including the black and brown and women and LGBTQ and unreligionous that conservatives despise. Conservatives would rather give the money to private charity that are allowed to discriminate, that can pick and chose who is “deserving” of getting the money.
Like the adoption charities that are allowed by republican sharia law to reject qualified potential LGBTQ parents because they don’t like them.

Another fine example of a “conservative” doing a “better job”. This is precisely why taxes should be raised.
It makes no sense to concentrate any wealth among a small handful of ignorant, superstitious, tools who shove flashlights up the asses, believe vaccines make them magnetic, and fall for every stupid, two-cent, Bible con they see on television. Hundreds of millions of dollars go untaxed so that Jerry Falwell Jr. can experience more intense orgasms while watching his wife service the pool boy?
For those people… who are coming into the labor workforce brand fresh, not old-timers who’ve been around for a while—the poor, the minorities, the disenfranchised, those with less education, young people who haven’t had the job experience—these people aren’t worth $15 an hour in most cases
In reality, just 30 percent of fast food workers are teenagers,
What a greed conservative. Apparently only educated white people deserve more than $15 and hour. You know. People like his tribe.
The incomes of the rich grew much faster in countries where tax rates were lowered. Instead of trickling down to the middle class, tax cuts for the rich may not accomplish much more than help the rich keep more of their riches and exacerbate income inequality, the research indicates.
“In fact, if we look back into history, the period with the highest taxes on the rich — the postwar period — was also a period with high economic growth and low unemployment.”
Given the greedy racist incel’s outrage that democratic policies that increase income inequality, I’m glad we have his support on getting rid of tax cuts for the rich that do not work.

Take careful note of the fact that the steep rise of “moderate” opposition to taxpayer supported social welfare spending precisely coincides with passage and implementation of the Civil Rights Act. As soon as government, especially local government, is compelled by law to at least pretend to spend the money equitably, “moderate” whites suddenly discover that public schools, public swimming pools, public libraries, and public parks are “terrible, horrible, wasteful, and inefficient”.
And where did white “moderates” put all that money?

59
Elijah SFA McDotcomspews:
58,
Whites in America are sold the idea of Black slavery and Black and Brown underclass in order to distract. Because it works.
For all the economic might of the antebellum South, if you were a poor white in Charleston you had nothing. If you could read, and if you were lucky enough, you might find some kind of menial job. But menial jobs for whites were scarce as hell, they were concentrated in cities, and largely they were carved out by protective state laws. Why hire a free white when you could hire someone’s slave for less than half? So the hostility of poor whites toward Blacks was built into the economic fabric. And it was always economic. Teaching poor whites to measure their own status in relation to enslaved Blacks was crucial to making they system work. It was and still is required in order to enable the accumulation and concentration of wealth.
So I don’t think it changes until you teach poor whites to measure their own status in relation to similarly situated people everywhere, all over the world, and particularly in other advanced, post-industrial economies. That’s what makes “conservative” cheerleading over elections in Europe so absurd. The poorest people in Germany live a standard and enjoy a social status that poor whites in America can’t even imagine. It would not be in Dumbfuck’s interest that they ever do imagine it.
So what causes “insurrection”, white “aggrievement”, and CosPlaytriot rage in my opinion are the steady, persistent, increasingly unavoidable reminders of Black and Brown success. Fifty years of limited, halting, and constantly opposed progress in civil rights and equal opportunity have resulted in enough Black senior executives, Black leaders, successful Black entrepreneurs, and highly successful Black elected officials that the poor White mythology is breaking down. “Whiteness” (the default idea of white superiority and white norming) is under attack at the cultural level. And whites can’t avoid seeing it anymore.
So it’s no surprise at all, nor should it be, that this entire “ideological” movement is accompanied by cries opposing “Communism” and “Socialism”. Creating that false dichotomy is an imperative for those who wish to prevent poor whites from ever noticing the common cause they share with disempowered Blacks and Browns. Nothing changes until enough white people, especially poor white people, have their eyes opened to the scam.

STATEMENT ON CONGRESSWOMAN OMAR EQUATING THE UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL TO HAMAS AND THE TALIBAN
June 9, 2021 Press Release
WASHINGTON— Today, Representative Brad Schneider led Representatives Jake Auchincloss, Ted Deutch, Lois Frankel, Josh Gottheimer, Elaine Luria, Kathy Manning, Jerrold Nadler, Dean Phillips, Kim Schrier, Brad Sherman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz in releasing the following joint statement:
Equating the United States and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban is as offensive as it is misguided. Ignoring the differences between democracies governed by the rule of law and contemptible organizations that engage in terrorism at best discredits one’s intended argument and at worst reflects deep-seated prejudice.
The United States and Israel are imperfect and, like all democracies, at times deserving of critique, but false equivalencies give cover to terrorist groups. We urge Congresswoman Omar to clarify her words placing the US and Israel in the same category as Hamas and the Taliban.

IIRC March 9, 2009 was the day the market bottomed out. It was way, way oversold and people were panicky. In April last year it was way, way oversold and people were less panicky because they saw what happened when they overreacted in 2009.
I suggest look at the market somewhere around the mid-Clinton era, and draw a line from, say, 1995 to mid-2008, then draw a line from mid 2008 to now. One of the biggest reasons the second line is steeper is interest rates have been kept artificially low by the Fed via QE. So money that normally would be earning interest in bonds is instead in equities because bonds pay so little interest. More money chasing the same number of shares boosts the prices of those shares.
Hey, the Barack era of the stock market was great. But so was the Trump era. And so was the Reagan era. And so was the Clinton era.
Computers and QE have been massive drivers of equity share prices. Why did I say 1995? That’s when MSFT released Windows 95.

Yes. But generally this is a feature, not a bug.
Many normal aspects of a post-industrial economy can’t be sustained during the kind of shutdowns required to avert mass death in a pandemic. We all benefit from these efficiencies – manufacturers, vendors, consumers, employers, and potentially even workers.
And sooner or later we are going to have to make some difficult choices, the kinds that Texas lawmakers and utility consumers neglected to make. We can choose to repeat this experience the next time a pandemic sweeps the globe, We can choose to leave the economy unregulated and let death itself be the regulator. Or we can choose to accept some lower standard of growth, and accumulated wealth in order to set aside reserves to soften the blow.
The choices are not exclusive. And the most likely future pandemic will feature some of all three. I think the next time a deadly pandemic virus to which we have no natural immunity arrives there will be violent demands from “conservatives” to allow the virus to kill large numbers of Americans before there is any response. I think “conservatives” will make these demands in the (potentially mistaken) belief that the deaths will occur disproportionately among the people they don’t like. And they will make these demands in the (potentially mistaken) belief that avoiding the deadly virus is not worth missing out on cruise season, bingo night, and Taco Tuesday.
Remember, a year ago even most “conservatives” would have considered 600,000 U.S. pandemic deaths to be an unacceptable and even tragic number. And Trump was compelled by the fears of his own supporters to lie to them about all the deaths he would pile up. But here we are just a little more than a year later and it’s very hard to get a “conservative” to do or say much of anything about all those dead Americans other than shrug.
Today, they are totes cool with a half million dead Americans. Which means the next Republican President will almost certainly be granted a 1 million dead mulligan.

The Texas AG is facing potential professional discipline for filing frivolous lawsuits, or at least a frivolous lawsuit, to wit:
“The Texas bar association is investigating whether state Attorney General Ken Paxton’s failed efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election based on bogus claims of fraud amounted to professional misconduct.
“The State Bar of Texas initially declined to take up a Democratic Party activist’s complaint that Paxton’s petitioning of the U.S. Supreme Court to block Joe Biden’s victory was frivolous and unethical. But a tribunal that oversees grievances against lawyers overturned that decision late last month and ordered the bar to look into the accusations against the Republican official.
“The investigation is yet another liability for the embattled attorney general, who is facing a years-old criminal case, a separate, newer FBI investigation, and a Republican primary opponent who is seeking to make electoral hay of the various controversies. It also makes Paxton one of the highest profile lawyers to face professional blowback over their roles in Donald Trump’s effort to delegitimize his defeat.”

Elijah SFA McDotcom spews:
58,
Whites in America are sold the idea of Black slavery and Black and Brown underclass in order to distract. Because it works.
For all the economic might of the antebellum South, if you were a poor white in Charleston you had nothing. If you could read, and if you were lucky enough, you might find some kind of menial job. But menial jobs for whites were scarce as hell, they were concentrated in cities, and largely they were carved out by protective state laws. Why hire a free white when you could hire someone’s slave for less than half? So the hostility of poor whites toward Blacks was built into the economic fabric. And it was always economic. Teaching poor whites to measure their own status in relation to enslaved Blacks was crucial to making they system work. It was and still is required in order to enable the accumulation and concentration of wealth.
So I don’t think it changes until you teach poor whites to measure their own status in relation to similarly situated people everywhere, all over the world, and particularly in other advanced, post-industrial economies. That’s what makes “conservative” cheerleading over elections in Europe so absurd. The poorest people in Germany live a standard and enjoy a social status that poor whites in America can’t even imagine. It would not be in Dumbfuck’s interest that they ever do imagine it.
So what causes “insurrection”, white “aggrievement”, and CosPlaytriot rage in my opinion are the steady, persistent, increasingly unavoidable reminders of Black and Brown success. Fifty years of limited, halting, and constantly opposed progress in civil rights and equal opportunity have resulted in enough Black senior executives, Black leaders, successful Black entrepreneurs, and highly successful Black elected officials that the poor White mythology is breaking down. “Whiteness” (the default idea of white superiority and white norming) is under attack at the cultural level. And whites can’t avoid seeing it anymore.
So it’s no surprise at all, nor should it be, that this entire “ideological” movement is accompanied by cries opposing “Communism” and “Socialism”. Creating that false dichotomy is an imperative for those who wish to prevent poor whites from ever noticing the common cause they share with disempowered Blacks and Browns. Nothing changes until enough white people, especially poor white people, have their eyes opened to the scam.

I suggest look at the market somewhere around the mid-Clinton era, and draw a line from, say, 1995 to mid-2008, then draw a line from mid 2008 to now. One of the biggest reasons the second line is steeper is interest rates have been kept artificially low by the Fed via QE. So money that normally would be earning interest in bonds is instead in equities because bonds pay so little interest. More money chasing the same number of shares boosts the prices of those shares.
Hey, the Barack era of the stock market was great. But so was the Trump era. And so was the Reagan era. And so was the Clinton era.
Computers and QE have been massive drivers of equity share prices. Why did I say 1995? That’s when MSFT released Windows 95.
Don’t make too much of this, G-clown. At minimum, in your psychotic throes of making everything political don’t completely ignore the obvious, non-political explanations.

There are other Trump-related reasons, too. Like the tax cut. Oh, and the successful appointments of three – count ’em, three – business-friendly SCOTUS justices.
Trump gave the markets confidence. Carter gave the markets ulcers.

Gotta give the dumbfuck traitor some credit, though. In this thread he rediscovered deficits with an outburst of pearl-clutching after ignoring them for fours years while deficits soared under his Putin-loving raging orange man-baby.
The dumbfuck traitor must have cried some very tasty traitor tears after seeing our troops cheer wildly for our nation’s beloved president after he told them that he was going to tell Putin exactly what he wanted him to know.
So unlike the dumbfuck traitor’s treasonous raging orange man-baby who was telling Putin exactly what he wanted to hear.
God bless you, Gman. Unlike the dumbfuck traitor, you are a true American patriot.

80,
Yes. But generally this is a feature, not a bug.
Many normal aspects of a post-industrial economy can’t be sustained during the kind of shutdowns required to avert mass death in a pandemic. We all benefit from these efficiencies – manufacturers, vendors, consumers, employers, and potentially even workers.
And sooner or later we are going to have to make some difficult choices, the kinds that Texas lawmakers and utility consumers neglected to make. We can choose to repeat this experience the next time a pandemic sweeps the globe, We can choose to leave the economy unregulated and let death itself be the regulator. Or we can choose to accept some lower standard of growth, and accumulated wealth in order to set aside reserves to soften the blow.
The choices are not exclusive. And the most likely future pandemic will feature some of all three. I think the next time a deadly pandemic virus to which we have no natural immunity arrives there will be violent demands from “conservatives” to allow the virus to kill large numbers of Americans before there is any response. I think “conservatives” will make these demands in the (potentially mistaken) belief that the deaths will occur disproportionately among the people they don’t like. And they will make these demands in the (potentially mistaken) belief that avoiding the deadly virus is not worth missing out on cruise season, bingo night, and Taco Tuesday.
Remember, a year ago even most “conservatives” would have considered 600,000 U.S. pandemic deaths to be an unacceptable and even tragic number. And Trump was compelled by the fears of his own supporters to lie to them about all the deaths he would pile up. But here we are just a little more than a year later and it’s very hard to get a “conservative” to do or say much of anything about all those dead Americans other than shrug.
Today, they are totes cool with a half million dead Americans. Which means the next Republican President will almost certainly be granted a 1 million dead mulligan.

My theory is the Republican covid death Mulligans and the previous discussion about loss of privilege are tied together. Racist conservatives are starting to see their privilege and racism be challenged and so they’re throwing a temper tantrum and no amount of death or fascism is a problem so long as their privilege and bigotry is maintained. Heck They will gladly let their tribe die or be enslaved so long the people they hate suffer more.

Speaking of stupid, I wonder how many times the dumbfuck traitor needs to be betrayed by his three Federalist SCOTUS justices before he realizes he’s been had? Heh. His raging orange man-baby’s tax returns. That one’s really gotta hurt. But still not enough for a wakeup call.
Of course, our treasonous woman-hating twat who no woman in America would ever fuck might yet get a kick out of Roe v Wade being overturned. Payback for all the times women said go fuck yourself. At first the stupid fucking traitor tried fucking himself but, of course, that didn’t work. That’s when he got the idea to buy himself a horse. Problem solved.
Pro-Putin hashtag # 7,006 and still no crime. Putin used to be pleased with this shit, no doubt. Now he’s probably wondering why his loyal Putin-loving foot soldier is so fucking stupid to still be posting it.
