It's worse man.

Axis of Awesome has a song called "Four Chord Song" where they show that essentially every pop song is just four chords.

Four fucking chords.

Your paying for lyrics.

I keep telling people.

Only one party cares about hypocrisy. And it ain't the fucking Republicans.

Republicans take a second oath:

"I solemnly swear I'm up to no good."

From your links:

Von der Goltz pleaded guilty in December 2019 to conspiracy to commit tax evasion, fraud and submitting false documents. He has already repaid the government more than $230,000.

Original indictment:

These shell companies and bank accounts made investments totaling tens of millions of dollars.

Make it make sense

"Not world changing" is insulting for the amount of money these people hid to avoid taxes.

Carl Icahn

From his wiki:

In the 1980s, Icahn developed a reputation as a "corporate raider" after profiting from the hostile takeover and asset stripping of Trans World Airlines.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

There have been attempts at an Article 5 Convention but often doesn't get enough traction.

At this point, a civil war is far more likely than a constitutional amendment passing.

Amazing! I'm not blind but often use accessibility features that make my life easier (e.g. speech to text on my phone has been a godsend!).

Accessibility matters to everyone.

Like they pay taxes.

More accurately, "We need to stop these poors and working class from taking money the government can give to us instead!"

Which....is absolutely wild. The government should absolutely be funding vulnerability research. If anything so that they can exploit them.

But I suspect they are taking the corporate approach. The foundation is going to do the research anyway and publish it widely. Just take advantage while adding nothing of value in return.

God I hate this fucking timeline.

I mean, that's sort of a gimmie with swasticars.

This is going to be another Panama files isn't it? Overwhelming evidence that billionaires are shits and world governments everywhere collectively do fuck all about it.
