It's insane how many of the MOST PRIVILEGED people to ever live have managed to convince themselves that they are deeply oppressed.
Opportunity is everywhere. But you can't see it if your own mindset is tuned to the 'victim' channel 24/7. https://twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1311234518163087360 #Zuby

I think Trump lost the opportunity to say he already said he condemned the Neo Nazis and White Supremacists at Charlottesville. Hopefully Biden would reply that didn't happen - and Trump could say to read the transcript.

USA Today fact-checks a satirical article from a satirical website and concludes that it's satire. And they were being completely serious, with a long list of citations and everything, to let us all know that a circuit court did not, in fact, overrule Ginsburg's death.
I don't even know what else to say. Except RIP journalism.

Re @AHart1974 That's retarded.
A sperm or egg alone does not contain full, unique human DNA, and will not ever become a baby, child and eventual adult if uninterrupted.

Re @Ugo_UF Ludicrous argument. By this logic, it's better to kill people than have them endure any potential hardship.

For those in favor of rewriting tax laws so billionaires pay more taxes, which laws would you change? Should they pay taxes even when they lose money? Are there some expenses that should not be treated as expenses? https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1310917904947228674

@ScottAdamsSays_bot I continue to be surprised at this.
Trump has had financial records leaked to the press, secretly recorded conversations leaked to the press, and many officials who worked inside the ...
The American Left has finally figured out how to raise the level of discussion...by leaving it?
Senate Democrats consider plan to boycott Amy Coney Barrett hearings

It was amazing to see the crowd of people who came to Washington, D.C., from all across the country to pray for our nation and our leaders.

After nearly 4 years of still refusing to accept the outcome of the 2016 election, the American Left feigns shock and horror at the idea of Trump not accepting the outcome of the election.
After verbally and financially supporting those burning down cities, they some fears that the other side might not be peaceful.
Reality is that they're already doing these things. Narrative is that everyone should fear that someone else might do these things.
Ben Carson says people are manipulating race to divide Americans
Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson said in an interview Thursday evening that race issues are being used to manipulate Americans.
"And you combine that with the fact that, because of our history, which is imperfect – you know slavery and Jim Crow and all of these things that have happened – it's relatively easy to convince some people, no matter how good their life is, that they're victims," Carson said. "And that somebody else has created that problem. And, at the same time, you take another segment of society – white people – and you convince them that they're guilty. They may be the nicest people in the world … but, because of the color of your skin, you are guilty and you owe. And it's a bad combination – guilt and victimhood – and it creates incredibly bad policies."

The USA is founded on the concept of negative rights. Granted by God, not the government. If it requires someone else's labour, it's not a right. https://twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1309763759586660359 #Zuby #Biden #God #Sweden

Can someone ask Democratic leaders, including BLM, if they will commit to a peaceful continuation of the Trump administration should Trump win reelection? https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1309828061618028544 #Election #Trump

Seeing the parading of a corpse of a judge around Washington.... Seems inappropriate. Has this ever been done before in US history? It's a very odd spectacle.

If nearly every senator is already decided how they're going to vote on the SCOTUS nomination hearing BEFORE THEY EVEN KNOW WHO IT IS, what's the point is having a hearing? Perhaps it used to matter but today politics is so polarized & tribal these formalities seem superfluous. https://twitter.com/michaelshermer/status/1309255837131501568 #Politics

My employer sent everyone to work from home after the report that we were headed toward 2.5 million US #COVID deaths. We've now hit 200k, 8% of the projected death toll.
“The idea of 200,000 deaths is very sobering, and in some respects, stunning,” said Dr. #AnthonyFauci. Over 200,000 #COVID19 deaths have been repor...
