If you don't like it, why don't you push for Citizens United to be overturned through legislation. Otherwise shut up or get some new material.

You would have more credibility if you actually understood what happened with Citizens United. The law limiting campaign contributions was largely overturned in Citizens United on constitutional grounds. So new legislation will change nothing. This leaves two possibilities:
1. Stack the Supreme Court with justices who will overturn it (like the fate of Roe vs. Wade)
2. Change the Constitution.

Neither are likely to happen for decades.

Is potentially being able to say the n word in public without losing your job worth giving up thousands of dollars a year if not more? The last BBB will cost consumers a minimum of $1,000 a year. And that's before we talk about all the other impacts

WTF is up with Republicans today? They threw out their own rulebooks and are just making it up as they go!

Justice Jackson recently accused her colleagues of playing Calvinball with questions before the court. The only rule being that Trump must win.

Today's raid on Bolton's house shows the dangers of crossing Trump.

The cowards should have kicked him to the curb during one or other of the impeachment trials, but they were too scared to do so then and now all of us must live with the consequences.

I don't understand how the MAGA crowd cannot see that Trump and the Heritage Foundation are pushing the country towards fascism. Or perhaps they welcome it -- they welcome the loss of freedom and rights and money.

The world is full of people who see themselves as vital, who actually aren't. This is how they cope with that reality.

In a large company, if there is someone who is truly vital, then management at that company has failed. It's the bus test: "what would happen if xzy fell under a bus tomorrow?".

While no-one is truly irreplaceable, the issue is cost and time. In a small company, the cost and time to replace some employees may be fatal to the company.
