Honestly journos. When interviewing people who pay vastly less tax than wage earners, what can't you just ask them why should they personally pay half or 1/3 of what wage earners do. Just ask them straight out.

Israeli politicians wore golden NOOSE pins to support the passing of the death penalty bill in the Knesset, making it Israeli Govt policy to hang any Palestinian convicted of killing an Israeli. The law does NOT apply to Israelis convicted of killing Palestinians. #Israel #apartheid #racism #justice

Here's a thought. The Venezuelan Deputy President was in Russia when it all went down, and zero Russian operatives were casualties in the assault. So who was involved in planning exactly? Also, the Cubans have clearly been abandoned by their allies. The deal is not hard to see.

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West."

Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about.

In fact I know you do."

Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."
