Hmm, for once I disagree with you. They’re damn good at uniting a populace against American imperialism.

They are at least good at making sure that no one from North Korea ever contradicts that.

Try “Trevor Noah miner’s strike” or “Trevor Noah homophobia” instead.

Trevor is highly problematic. But on Bloomberg, he’s spot on.

Yeah, though I appreciate Noah still, and I think Noah understands what they did.

So, this is from Bloomberg’s official website. He provided some actual examples of Bernie Bros in action, and he’s not afraid to call out their incivility. This is not a joke, not the onion. Link to his site provided below:

While it’s good for Presidents to put things in a true blind trust or divest - it’s impossible to not have conflicts of interest with 60 billion dollars parked in various stocks, bonds, other businesses. Hell - even if just in a bank that bank is now a major conflict with where it invests - how it does biz with the gov or in gov projects.

Even if just in currency - conflict with exchange rates. There’s no out on this when you’re that rich.

(And @MalevolentPixy, since she brought it up too…)

We did that in high school Spanish class too (I was Mercedes.) The idea is, it helps you shift mental gears to the new language, especially if you’re in an immersion course. But I wouldn’t try to claim it for any kind of street cred now. That doesn’t make any sense to me.
