It seems to me the argument written in The Economist that the top 1% share of income has changed little since 1960 is meaningless given the middle Class of America is clearly worse off by any measure.

The Economist talks abut world economics and income inequality.  I am not talking abut world economics, I am talking about the USA. 

"Measuring the 1%"
Economists are rethinking the numbers on inequality

An academic disagreement has big real-world implications

Trump is unethical and immoral, but his supporters do not care because Trump has purchased their loyalty.

Meghan McCain says she is not sure she can "believe" Mitt votes Trump guilty for good and just reasons.  We can all have a tiny bit of doubt about Mitt's convictions, especially since rump has disrespected him so much and so often.  It would be sweet revenge for Mitt to go against his tormentor, Trump.

NEVERTHELESS WHAT MITT DID WAS SUPER COURAGEOUS!  WHAT MITT DID WAS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY!

Meghan McCain is smart.  IF MEGHAN SAYS SHE BELIEVES MITT SHE WILL BE CAST OUT OF THE CONSERVTIVES...

"Let's Be Very Clear: Medicare for All Is Not Socialism"
What we have now in the U.S. is a for-profit health insurance model that privatizes profit and socializes risk. And it's not working.

Trump's wrath is unleashed.

Be prepared. all ye who are not "LOYAL" (lie for) Donald Trump.

Martin Niemöller is perhaps best remembered for the quotation / poem:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak...

I'm 73 and America is not a Democracy.  Freedom is oversold anyway.  Too much freedom drives us crazy.  Too many choices make life too hard.

MLK, Mother Teresa, Rosa Parks . . . do these names inspire you?  Then think "Rush Limbaugh."  Personally I feel dirty saying that name, "Rush Limbaugh."  Rush is a radio shock jock who says very nasty things about people and insults children of Presidents, and does all this from his studio safely out of sight.

"A GIANT SOCIALIST BUREAUCRACY OF OUR OWN: THE PENTAGON"

David Evans - CHICAGO TRIBUNE  8 July 1988 

[Many folks like David Evans knew where the constant increases in defense spending was taking us LONG AGO!  The cabal of "security minded" rich people in the defense industry are happy and so is DoD with a new, state of the art set of weapons very few years.  The Generals never saw a modern weapon they didn't LOVE, and I know this from 44 years in defense contracting!]

King Trump is now actively doing ANYTHING he wants now that the GOP has blessed him with a coronation.

Words that come to mind: Constitution, Second Amendment, hate, divisive, demagogue, sanctuary cities, ICE Storm Troopers, fascism, bad law, lawless, law enforcement, ICE, storm troopers, undermine safety, immigration, racism, prejudice, King Trump, Pompeo hates women, Barr hates justice . . .

Will Americans see what is happening at the King Tweety Trump invades every corner of our...

Rep. Jim Jordan might have been a good guy once, a good Coach, I can't say.  After reports of sex abuse by HIS wrestlers, what is he?  Who is he?  Will we believe the abused persons, or the Coach?

Why is our cultural first response to distrust the victim, the abused? Why did Rep. Jim Jordan turning a blind eye to sex abuse of HIS wrestlers?

Is Jim a gay voyeur?

Why is there no sympathy, NO apology?  Jim Jordan did ot reach out in any way.  Deny, deny, deny?  He sounds guilt ridden to me,...

There are no Republicans in the Senate except Romney.  Romney is the only man to hold to orginal Republican beliefs.  The rest of the Senate Republicans are "Trump bots."

Trump has tweeted thousands of nasty threats, hosted over 50 political rallies for hate and divisiveness, stated publicly over 16K and increasing truthful hyperbole which his name for lies.  These are Trump's shit legacy.

Do Americans have to watch "Mindhunter" on Netflix to see Tweety Trump is a serial shyster, a con man,...

The President of the United States is on a crime spree.  The GOP and Barr enable, encourage, and facilitate the worst possible post impeachment acquittal scenario, unleashing King Tweety "I can do anything I want!"

Sotomayer's dissent is linked below, and I offer a Fox article on her opinion below.  First, read and heed Trump's demand that the SCOTUS bow to him.  The SCOTUS is unique to him, with him not realizing when he wins he is better off shutting his mouth and stopping his tweets.  

Trump exposes his ignorance how SCOTUS operates, where SCOTUS allows dissent in a lost cause.

Trump exposes his treachery to, and hate for the Constitution of the United States by demanding SCOTUS obedience to his...

I want to avoid criticizing Trump, but his credibility is extremely weak to start after three years of lies and ridiculous tweets.  He even wants to blame Obama for the coronavirus!
