Lobbying the president would definitely be something I would do if I had no legal liabilities.

This is very much my understanding of how this happened and why we will eventually just end up back here again after Biden wades through the trump aftermath.

That’d be like if Karl Marx was a wealthy nobleman; “proletariat my ass”
He was a lawyer. He was by no means an impoverished man of the people.

What in gods name are you talking about?
"Your side"

Also, I don't think Kanye would be worse than Trump. Which says more about Trump than it does Kanye.

Just today shad has requested the tear gassing of American citizens, sending in the national guard, and declaring martial law. 2 more for bingo. :slug:
I agree with him at this point...

This dude gets it.

He lives in a $60 million 7,000 square foot mansion on 3 acres of the most expensive real estate in Los Angeles. I'd advocate for 'living locally' if I had that kind of locality.

The only reason Kanye would be better than Trump, to me at least, would be that Kim would run the country, which is actually saying Kris Jenner would be calling the shots....which isn’t the worst thing on the planet

This convo is so 2020

He was not a wealthy man at all. In fact, he relied on Engels' substantial wealth for most of his time in London.

There have been 38 days of rioting and property destruction in Portland.

Please, do tell me what your compassionate method of ending the riots would be. And please don't say something like "address inequalities" because you and I both know that doesn't happen overnight. How do you actually stop the rioters?

So he lived off the largesse of someone else?

How fitting.

ABC goes out of their way to point out that it was a luxury vehicle in their tweet, which is completely and utterly irrelevant to the story. However, they will not point out that the driver was a black man, which is EXTREMELY important to the story given the current volatile situation in the country. Instead, you see "luxury vehicle runs over and kills BLM protester". What are the majority of the rabble going to naturally assume when they read that?

This is absurdly blatant agenda setting to me, especially knowing the vast majority of people aren't going to read past the headline or lede. What was the point of specifying that it was a luxury vehicle? To shift gears from racial division to class warfare? To avoid having to mention that it was a black man that ran over a white woman? Just bad.

This is horrific. Completely senseless. Also Exhibit A for why if you end up in a similar situation, you smash the accelerator and ask questions later. If a couple of them a are in front of you, oh well.
