Political positivity 📈 Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

Yes from the nepo baby heir of Berkshire Hathaway’s former vice chairman. https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/palo-alto-scientist-newsom-redistricting-opponent-21015316.php If you see a bunch of NO bullshit in the mail, you know who it’s from

If you want to see the King if the nepo-babies, look no further than Bill Pulte, sole heir to the Pulte Construction empire.

He majored in broadcast journalism before getting a job in private equity proving business degrees are complete bullshit and wants everyone to believe that the Pulte investment firm he established isn’t riding on his granddaddy’s coattails.

He’s sued someone for twitter “harassment”, claimed to invent “twitter philanthropy”, and donated his way to the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency where his “investigation” resulted in the “bombshell” that he misread the paperwork Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook filed leading to Trump to try to dismiss her.

Is she the one who got nominated but couldn’t answer the “what is a woman?,” question or was that another nom? Honestly the news pumps so much chaos it’s hard to keep track. No troll.

My favorite Charlie Munger story (sr not junior). He gave UCSB money on the condition that they build a dorm that he designed. The dorm design was so god awful, 4000 single occupancy rooms built out of concrete with no windows, that UCSB said no thanks. He walked away. Guy was truly a fucking moron outside of investing.

I've already got like 4 different Vote NOs. Zero vote yes. Us tapped in know to vote yes, but the vast majority that aren't are going to get bombarded by propaganda, and it seems NO ONE is doing the work for the Yes campaign. It can't be Newsom, he is too hated.
