Yeah, so cool that the underdog kid who was born a millionaire and his sponsor, the richest human being alive aren't damn "elites".

The elites got a pasting.



All I can think about is how throughout all of human history no messages have been more effective at amassing power than "the other side looks down on you" and "outsiders are ruining your way of life." No rational arguments seem to penetrate them

I will die on this one: pay is the single largest gatekeeper we have in academia. This crap isn’t viable. It’s hurting people, and limiting the pool of talented folks that think it’s a good idea to do science or have the resources to do so.

Wow, this kind of blanket denigration of Democrats is definitely going to spark a huge media frenzy

Trump: "These are horrible people. Oops, we should get along with everybody. They're horrible people. Some people you just can't get along with."

But it’s time Dems tone down the rhetoric, amirite?

Speakers at Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden have so far called Harris “the antichrist” and “the devil,” called Hillary Clinton “a sick son of a bitch,” railed against “fucking illegals,” and referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.”

There's a pretty striking pattern here. If you can guess who wins the election, you can probably also guess what comes next.

It's an astonishing feat of mathematics to raise taxes on 95% of Americans all in the name of cutting taxes on average.

The magic of the Trump tax agenda is that he cuts taxes -- and so total revenue likely declines -- but he does so in a way that still ensures 95% of Americans will actually pay HIGHER taxes.
