iberal white women are only able to view men through two lenses:

- someone who must be feminized and weakened so women can maintain their status as superiors in work, relationships, politics, courts, etc

- a poor little pet dancing monkey that is misunderstood and dindu nuffin wrong
You forgot the third lens: a person to dump all their histrionics on.
 
His $5-$7 million net worth puts him in the top 2% at least and it's likely he has more unless you think the "anti-rich people guy" wouldn't try to conceal his wealth. It only takes $12 million to join the 1% crew. Where are your 4 orders of magnitude?

My comment was based on the assisting assertion that someone with his wealth could be considered an oligarch (or in the most charitable reading, couldn’t be opposed to oligarchs)

Top 2% is SEVEN MILLION AMERICANS. Do you not know what an oligarchy is, it’s a SMALL group. Your kids paediatrician is in there, middle management is in there, FAANG engineers are in there. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of small business owners are in there. His net worth is about what you’d expect An 85 year old, drawing a 200k salary with minimal costs and six successful books to have.

I was thinking 5 mil net worth and about 50Billion for oligarchs. Or 10^4 (four orders of magnitude).

I was too kind in my question, I think the real question is “do you know the difference between a million and a billion?”
 
Reddit is absolutely melting the fuck down over the FBI forming a unit to investigate the Tesla attacks.

Muh SS, Muh freedums.
One of the smartest things the right ever did was delay pot legalization while not ever enforcing possession among the middle and upper class.

It led to a generation of leftists who ignore laws instead of trying to change them.

Now they’re so retarded that a politically motivated act of violence being labeled as such is a surprise.
 
This lies at the feet of Venezuela, they should be running jets to save their people not using them political games. like revoking landing clearances or saying they need to be treated humanily

Same for the judges, if they werent playing games and inderstood the admins top priority is the removal of these people from the country, it drove the admin to make the deal with el salvador.
This is another thing that keeps getting overlooked, exactly. We've only reached the El Salvador Solution because Venezuela wasn't willing to play ball with their own citizens. We gave them a chance to take their people back, and they decided to try and wear the big boy pants and demand we take on the responsibility. That is not how this arrangement works. More to the point, if it's so bad that we're throwing poor dindus in supermax, then why didn't you want to take them yourselves, El Salvador, could there possibly be a reason you didn't want these specific people back? One struggles to find a reason.

The United States is not your shithole's daycare, nor should we expected to be responsible for saving each and every migrant stuck in some backwards third world hellhole; their leaders need to be held to account and improve their own citizens' standards of living before they have a place next to us in world politics. It's so utterly tiring to hear libshit judges and bleeding hearts point to us like it's our fault instead of simply asking "huh why did those migrants want to leave in the first place?". You should want for the US to pressure them into getting their shit together, as their enrichment serves to benefit everybody involved. But, no, the poor widdle dindu gangbangers and the politicians of their home countries perpetuating the conditions for their existence domestically aren't at fault whatsoever and the blame is (apparently) entirely on the US.
 
Yeah I know. That's one of my criticisms of Tucker Carlson's whole supermarket shtick in Russia where he soyfaced about how cheap Russian food is when they spend more on food as a percentage of income than Americans.
The segment was meant to show that Russia had no problem with supplies despite being under the most extensive sanctions regime in the history of the human race. It wasn't "wow, Russia #1!" it was "Look how normal all of this is, despite our best attempts to crush their economy for over two years." The fact that everyone misses the context further sends home the point.

But we can accept anyone who will be a productive and good citizen.

It’s like taking a test. If you do well, you get in and enjoy the land of freedom. Illegals are like those retarded kids who don’t show up on the day of the test, demand an extension, and then fill out only one answer out of a 100 while misspelling their own name.

Well it doesn't help that Tucker was soy facing about prices or that the supermarket was setup for Tucker.
 
There is a great documentary called "How Beer Saved the World" that goes more into this. At one point they made a fairly decent lager (by letting random people taste it) out of duck pond water to show how the process works and can make almost water drinkable.

The Simpsons did it again.
 
I have no idea what type of candidate the republican party can run now. Not to get political or anything but I don't think they'll win the next election.


The chronic inaction is why I can't stand lolbergs. They're generally spergs who only act as friction against getting anything useful done, because their only consistent position is "don't do anything that involves the government" while everyone else including government and corporations walk all over them. Their desire to be left alone usually means that contract law replaces their sense of morality, so they're okay with things that are obviously bad for everyone like chronic drug use as long as it's done consensually.


37%, not 62%. Did you just make up a number?
Well.

My source references other outside sources that can be verified as correct.

Your source on the other hand, references itself and nobody outside of themselves that can be verified.

>It's own PDF with sources, reference FRAC.
>Anything unrelated to FRAC, is a dead link.
>Census article FRAC links to has nothing to do with SNAP.

Frac is very disingenuous with their results. They constantly cite articles that have nothing to do with the discussion. They operate on correlation/causation a lot for professionals, but whatever.
