This is how pretty much all of the financial crises of my lifetime have started. Looser regulations, deregulation, self regulation. Just another way of privatizing the profits and socializing the risks, aka bailout.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.
Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.
Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.
This is incredible
“I didn’t vote for this” is the new “I fucked up.”
We’re in the midst of the consolidation of an American fascist regime.
They’re building concentration camps and setting up a secret police force which has already arrested opposition elected officials.
And yet, big parts of our political and media elite are acting as if nothing has changed.
While I think that the next act will involve all manner of voter suppression and election cheating, this rumor I have seen going around is fortunately untrue.

Texting STOP to all the random Dems that the DNC gave my number to is getting to be a full time job. Doesn’t pay very well, though.
Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism.
When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless.
Understand what's going on.
Thou shalt not question the secret police.
Never again, is what you swore, the time before.
Hey world, welcome to our shit show!
Just got called a “relentless champion” at work. Best compliment in ages. 😊
Can’t have a Joe Rogan of the left because it would mean there’s an army of mindless left-leaning tools, I mean listeners, and that isn’t happening because we are out living our lives with actual women and kids and hobbies and stuff.
I’ve been wondering if we’d ever see this…
This is the way.
Trump saying he’s definitely not going to fire Powell totally means he’s definitely going to fire Powell, right? Has the market learned nothing?
(Yeah, I know he “can’t” fire home, but he will find a way to get rid of him somehow.)
So, a “read the room” fail rather than a performance flop?
The credibility of the US government is completely shot.
Gone.
Annihilated.
Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration.
Ever.
You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.
Welcome to the dumbest administration
Somehow not surprising.
Good collection.
Bill Burr is a national treasure 🎯!

As a former child junior olympic-level runner, I have a few thoughts on the attacks on trans girls in sports. I ran for one of the most competitive teams in Southern California, and people who ran for my have gone on to become professional athletes. And these bans: they're fucking NONSENSE. 🧵
But other than that who could have seen it coming!?!?!
President Snowflake
What’s the down side then?
