Which dinner? You mean the NYC Catholic Church-a-Ganza? Maybe cos he represents the state of NY in Senate?

I was asking Jonathan, but thanks SO much for your snarky response! I have my own opinion about these kinds of events, for example, the National Prayer Breakfast which Jonathan did such great reporting on, but it’s not worth my time to share that opinion with you.

Oops/ ouch. I didn’t mean to come off snarky Nancy E, meant my answer as sincere but I hope you got a better response off list from Jonathan.

I apologize then. Hard to “read” tone with the written word.

Ugh, 12 of 15 shitty electors in Michigan is awful. My gut tells me Benson (SoS), Nessel (AG), and Whitmer (Gov) won't let them get away with anything. They are a force to be reckoned with.

You of all people should know the proper name of that propaganda operation: it’s Fux News! Also, Bret Baier and the Fux News control room together collaborated in concealing the “enemy within” clip and springing their preferred edit on Harris. Any fool can see that it was a planned ambush. How else could the clip have been ready to go spontaneously in their conversation at exactly their chosen moment? So Botox Pig Eyes’ confession of error is in fact missing the key piece of evil!

P.S. That recording also included the CEOs admitting that all the previous issues that led to higher prices have resolved and there is no justification for the high prices other than to dazzle their shareholders!

Great article and you don't really have to add negative comments about Joe Biden.

GREEDFLATION is the primary reason most people don't believe that imflation is down. Robert Reich is the only journalist here who addressed it and that was some months back. Corporate America is raising prices on food and other necessities because they can! Ari Melber played a recording, also more some months ago, with CEOs bragging about impressing their shareholders with higher prices and justifying it by stating that consumers will pay those higher prices. They also said that they do it because THEY CAN!

Why isn't this a bigger deal, covered relentlessly and pounded into our consciousness???

What would corporations do without shareholders to brag to about raising prices without consequences supposedly built into the mechanisms of capitalism?

What would pension plans/endowed NFPs/retired individuals do without corporate stocks?
