"Publicly criticizing a Supreme Court justice's ethics Ponsor's essay diminished the public's confidence in the judiciary's integrity"
Which (confidence) was otherwise extremely high 🤣
***Los Angeles County Shows Why Democrats Lost***
>A Mother Jones analysis of voting data shows rich voters remained loyal as Latino and Asian voters moved right—revealing fissures in a Democratic party that sees itself as a champion of the working class.
Maybe because the election is done and they served their purpose so the distraction is not necessary anymore?
I think he would have been marked as such by the modern Pharisees (not only the GOP ones mind you :-)

“Look, the Republican Party has become the party of the working class, middle class voter, and you’ve got to give Donald Trump credit for having done that."
We yet have to see about that ...
In any case, the "coalition" with "RINOs" like Mitt and a load of celebrities didn't work as well as expected.
Maybe democrats should next time try to listen and come to term with the "radical left" in their party that seems really having the working and middle classes in their mind?

This president always reminds me of Biff Tannen, the godfather in “Back to the future 2” .🤣
If there is one lesson to be learned from this election it is the fact that campaigns run on #fear are much more efficient than those run on #joy. When people are miserable they don't want to see other (hopeful) people having a good time.
Also, if you start your campaign with "mind your own business" don't finish it with ads advising me to "cheat" on my husband in the voting boot.
This has to be outlawed as immoral:
>The Times noted in a follow-up piece that Musk owns about 411 million Tesla shares, worth around $78 billion, and that he’d pledged 238 million shares for personal loans. Borrowing against their vast portfolios, as ProPublica has detailed, is how Musk, Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, and other ludicrously wealthy Americans have managed to legally avoid the lion’s share of income taxes.
#Neoliberal elimination of price controls, deregulation, and reduction of state influence in the economy, mostly via privatization and austerity, as an ideology for maintaining political power fits nicely with #postmodern rejection of the certainty of knowledge and stable meaning.

>"#Effective_altruism is a philosophy that aims to do as much good as possible," explains Brian Berkey, associate professor of legal studies and business ethics at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, US. "It's how to help ensure people's time and resources are spent well in making the world a better place. Through empirical evidence, individuals can make more informed decisions over which charitable causes to support."
#Trickle_down economics on steroids, that's what it is:

What a spin doctor!
The real problem is not the #elite class gorging on stolen money and their self-serving "friends" in politics, but rather the "#professional class" that despite everything managed to get themselves an education and were lucky to find work as civil servants.
Fake "entrepreneurs" and their "yes men" pretending to care for the "little uneducated man" will save us all.
Disgusting🤮
BTW, I thought **class divide** is a term used only by "filthy Marxists":

I'm very glad I found this Mastodon #community where we can "Question Others to Teach Ourselves". Please feel free to ask questions and argue with anything I say. Be sure I'll be doing the same. Nothing is sacred. There are no stupid questions, just BS answers.
Stay safe and be nice to others.
