So, Robinhood is now taking from the poor to give to the rich. Sounds about right, but at least they managed to unite America....against them. As someone noted, when you've got AOC and Trump Jr. united against you, you must be pretty bad.
And what about Ameritrade and the others? They all need to be investigated IMO, not just Robinhood. Withholding trades from your customers so you can help the rich hedge funds needs to be stopped. Interesting though that the White House has no real comment on this, probably because Biden's new Treasury Sec Janet Yellen got nearly $900,000 from one of those hedge funds that was tanking in this thing. Good to know whose side Biden and company are on...

Well, as Gov Newsom's recall grows closer and more inevitable, he's taken to loosening his COVID lockdown. But I hope we have a recall, just like the last time. No, I don't really care if Newsom is recalled or not; someone else just as bad will simply replace him, or maybe someone worse, if that's possible. No, I just want the experience of the recall. Last time we did that, we ended up with Arnold Schwarzenegger as the sanest alternative. We also had a porn starlet, Gary Coleman, and others who just brought the lulz to an otherwise dull time. I want that again, with maybe Mel Gibson running to replace Newsom, along with whatever pro wrestlers we have living in the state, some more porn stars, a few conspiracy theorists, an Antifa type or two, maybe a militia type, and someone with an epic beard. Maybe Danny Glover, or is he too old for that shit?

Biden has issued 40 executive orders in 9 days, vastly ahead of the pace of any President going back to Reagan. This, from the guy who in December mused that issuing too many executive orders would make him a dictator. Even the NY Times rebuked him and told him to stop. Biden hasn't bothered consulting Congress yet, though, I've noticed. Biden thinks he's King, not President, it seems.

Interesting, Google, (old motto "Don't be evil", newer motto "Be Evil"), has vanished tens of thousands of negative reviews of Robinhood, helping out a fellow oppressor of the common folk. Well, at least they saved a few letters on that motto...

"...Biden actually said 'there are some things you can't do by executive order unless you're a dictator'..." NO MENTION of how many is too many in there, just like Moscow Mitch screwed up in claiming that he said "you can't legislate by executive action unless you are a dictator." Try NOT to distort the truth for ONCE, right-wingers!

I might point out that Biden issued an executive order ending high school girl's sports. Specifically, he threatens punishment to schools that won't let boys who are transgender and "identify" as girls compete in girl's sports, thus winning them all. This, it must be pointed out, had happened already, with boys who couldn't cut it in boy's sports trying again in the girl's divisions, where they won everything they entered into, as the girls, no matter how good, simply couldn't compete with physical boys. It was a state by state thing as to what the qualifications for such people were to compete in girl's sports, but Biden's executive order threatens withholding of federal money's, much like Obama's did, to force schools to comply, (universities too, IIRC). Boys of course tend to dominate girls on the physical level in high school sports and above, and even taking testosterone blockers or female hormones doesn't come close to eliminating that advantage. Which leads girls to lose scholarships, and destroys girl's sports.
So, Biden hates high school and college age girls.
However, while he also hates non-criminals and non-terrorists, he has at least backed off for now on his plans to give KSM, the Boston Bomber, and sundry other terrorists and murderers a COVID jab before you or me get one, possibly after a non-undead member of his Administration mentioned it wasn't polling all that well.
Electric cars. Well, there's a big push for them, even more now that Biden wants to mandate them. There's just one problem; it won't work. Or at least says Jeremy Clarkson. And if you don't believe him, so also says Elon Musk. And Akio Toyoda, (CEO of Toyota). According to Toyoda, who ought to know, (Prius), they ultimately pollute more than gas powered cars, and even worse, can't be powered by our nation's grid. Or as Clarkson pointed out, the UK's grid either. The problem is that a nation's grid tends to operate at close to capacity on a normal basis. Which means if we added on the task of powering every vehicle in the country by electricity....we don't have enough power. Not even close. To the point of pollution, specifically CO2 emissions, those cars are powered by whatever generates the grid's electricity. Very little of which is done by "green" methods, (which in themselves aren't green at all, since to make solar cells or wind farms is about the worst thing you can do environmentally speaking). So your Tesla is powered by a coal fired power plant most likely.

"How do you solve a problem like Marjorie," right-wingers?? BETTER FIGURE IT OUT FAST.
She blames the California wildfires on SECRET JEWISH SPACE LASERS:
She's one of those whiny right-wingers who LOVE to play the victim, even when it's BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that they're NOT:
EVEN FELLOW RIGHT-WINGERS can't stand this moron!
And the Republicans KNEW she was coming and KNEW she would be TERRIBLE. But rather than do something about it, THEY SHRUGGED THEIR SHOULDERS and foisted her on Congress, anyway!! "ANYTHING for Power!" is their motto!
EVEN WORSE, they handed her a seat on the House Education and Labor Committee, despite her history of claiming that the school shootings at Parkland and Sandy Hook didn't happen, and harassing one of the traumatized survivors by walking behind him and TELLING HIM THAT SHE HAS A GUN!!
Remember: This lunatic believes that SECRET JEWISH SPACE LASERS are what caused the fires in California!! Sheer insanity AND blatant anti-Semitism in one unwanted package! And it's all brought to you by the increasingly vile and pathetically power-hungry REPUBLICAN PARTY!! "Show me who your friends are, and I'll show you who YOU are!"
"A flibbertigibbet, a will-o'-the-wisp, A CLOWN!!" smh

Al that stuff in November? It's still legitimately going on, some race in a House district in NY. Evidently, it was very close and very disputed legitimately, as the thing was rife with errors and a judge is now basically deciding which votes were legitimately cast and counted. At present, the Republican challenger is leading by less than a hundred votes. It won't matter either way, though, as the House will still be Democratic Party controlled even if the Republican wins and flips the seat. But it shows that district and others might want to fix their voting and tallying system before the next election. It seems it was a cluster f*ck of epic proportions, with everyone at every level messing it up. This isn't a case of anyone doing fraud, but it's nearly as damaging, showing that everyone involved wasn't....how shall I put this kindly...competent, or at least doing their absolute best job, (or rather I hope that wasn't their best effort).

The Democrats lied during the campaign about COVID stimulus checks, big surprise. Well....it was, to Georgia voter who decided the run-off there.
Evidently, in Democrat math, $1400 = $2000. And the Democrats can't say that it's in addition to the $600 already paid out, their campaign ads clearly show their promise referred to an ADDITIONAL check of $2000 they were promising. Which is odd, because it's also not like they can claim the Republicans are obstucting them; that was the whole point of the Georgia run-off, to decide who controls the Senate. Which the Dems won, based largely it seems on their promise, which they are now breaking.
May I point out that I hate that sort of article, which is now very common at pretty much every new site I've seen, no matter the political orientation. The kind where the article writer is lazy, and mostly just writes and article which is 90% other people's tweets. I see that all the time, and it's lazy journalism IMO. A quote here and there is fine, but damn, guys, stop with most of your article consisting of tweets. Also, why have multiple tweets saying pretty much the exact same thing? One or two would do it, IMO, and mostly I hate using tweets at all in news articles, unless the article is about that tweet.
