Trump loves fellow rapists and traffickers so much he interfered in the Tate investigation

Mist of their true income won't be touched. You don't get taxes for holding stock. You don't get taxed for borrowing. So, a lot of billionaires borrow against their stock to have spending money without paying income taxes.

This is the Republicans' America. For now, they're terrorizing brown people. Pretty soon they'll turn their sights on "antifa", which is anyone who criticizes Republicans abysmal policies

Musk left his role in the second Trump administration in May to focus on his companies,...

The problem is that you can't separate most of MAGA from the hate. If a black person in Mississippi benefits from a federal state service, that cannot be tolerated, even if many whites benefit as well.

It's more important to protect a non-viable embryo, according to these people, than to protect the mother's life or health.

I feel like King Theoden from LotR, who says "What can men do against such reckless hate?" Though, it's valid to substitute "hatred" with "stupidity"

I fact checked the ratios of federal spending to federal tax receipts, for the three states mentioned in the substack. https://smartasset.com/data-studies/states-most-dependent-on-the-federal-government-2022

Could I have help with more fact checking? The reasoning is sound, but I've been burnt before by poorly sourced opinion pieces

Servicemen were dishonorably discharged for refusing to deploy to Iraq.

Shooting at civilians is obviously illegal. Soldiers must disobey such an order.

However, there are many circumstances where there isn't an obvious crime. A soldier who disobeys an order not obviously illegal assumes the risk of punishment
