Seriously, where?

“ This homeless guy asked me for money the other day. I was about to give it to him and then i thought he was going to use it on drugs or alcohol. And then i thought, that's what i'm going to use it on. Why am i judging this poor bastard. People love to judge homeless guys. like if you give them money they're just going to waste it. Well, he lives in a box, what do you want him to do? save it up and buy a wall unit? Take a little run to the store for a throw rug and a cd rack? he's homeless.”

After Sidney Powell pleads guilty in Georgia case, Trump claims she was 'never' his attorney, despite their past ties | CNN Politics

Sidney Powell was one of millions and millions of people who thought, and in ever increasing numbers still think, correctly, that the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLLEN, AND OUR COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!!! MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS. In fact, she would have been conflicted,

That was a challenging first sentence to read.

wtf happened to dave chappelle

Reply in thread

Only article I could find is Newsweek but seems to be accurate he was taking pictures with a few others, and nothing of the sort was discussed

Democratic advocacy group, Call to Activism, tweeted that Chappelle claimed a number of lawmakers had asked him for photos during his visit to the Capitol.

But then the comedian reportedly claimed he was "blindsided" by her tweet saying he "understood that there were two genders."

"It's a shame she tricked me," Chappelle is reported to have said. "I had two tickets to Beetlejuice and I was going to give her one!"

I Don't Believe This Weekend's Scary Poll Numbers

Polls just create talking points for media to run around with. You could easily find (or discard) data to create any narrative you wanted. Remember when Hillary was the runaway favorite? Remember when Jeb Bush was the front runner?

Just go out and vote. End of the day no matter what the early polls say. Go Vote. Make your voice heard.

Elon Musk to file ‘thermonuclear lawsuit’ as advertisers desert X

Right? The media matters article screenshots clearly prove it’s allegations. Unless he tries the angle that they were photoshopped (and obviously he needs proof for it) this gets dismissed immediately.

Hoping it doesn’t cost media matters anything or that they can recoup any fees they may incur from this. Nice to have real reporting with proof to back it up like they showed.

Ford Executive Chair Bill Ford calls on autoworkers to end strike, says company's future is at stake

Take 100mil off his comp for employees, divide by their 57,000 UAWs listed above, divide by 52 (weeks), then 40 (hrs). Gets you an 0.84$ per hour per employee.

In reality, based on latest filing, CEO’s comp for 2022 was 21 mil so 0.16$ raise per employee if you didn’t pay the ceo.

Ford did 484mil $ in buy backs in 2022. Would give each 4$/hr raise

Seen this a few times. Rarely does the ceo taking less really make much of a dent for people living paycheck to paycheck. Yea 16 cents is better than nothing but also not what these people need.
