2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

They have no principles. They believe nothing except what is politically expedient. They will say this, do the opposite, and insist their plan worked. Don’t play along, consistency is only relevant for people acting in good faith.

But what does President Musk think about raising taxes on the rich?

[–] Grandwolf319 9 points 15 hours ago

I fully can see him being the type that makes an exception for himself and totally screws over his billionaire peers.

He doesn’t look like someone that would get along with his peers.

Our taxes should be paid directly to Musk instead of going through the government.

Bannon might be a piece of shit, but he knows everyone else is too, and isn't afraid to talk bluntly and openly about it.

Something tells me that, if the white house was on fire, he'd be laughing.
