Trumpism does not go away when 45 leaves the White House.
@ProjectLincoln's @TheRickWilson knows that.
After 30 years, he left the Rs, & now has vowed to chase down the enablers who brought Rs, & all of us here.

I hear Dr. Fauci vaccinated Santa to keep him from getting sick on his delivery route this year. Great news.
Santa seems high-risk; elderly, (dare i say obese?)
but also "essential".
If it was the Pfizer vax- that mean Fauci goes North again in 3 weeks with dose #2?

part of dehumanizing your foe is to say that their cultural/ linguistic identity is not real.
More genocidal talk on Russian state TV: falsely claiming that Ukrainians are just Russians who need to be reminded that the Ukrainian language, history and religion are "made up," that Russian troops in Ukraine are fighting for "their land" and Russia is planning to never leave.

Always be skeptical of “conventional wisdom” especially from Wall Street bank office culture.
My company pays an $80k min wage, lets people work wherever they want, has full benefits, paid parental leave, etc.
We get over 300 applicants per job.
"No one wants to work" is a hell of a way of saying "companies won't pay workers a fair wage and treat them with respect."
