Well for one people like MacKenzie Scott probably wouldn’t have donated $9B. Yeah there are some “filthy rich” people, but many of them donate shitloads of money, collectively provide millions of jobs, etc. They may be “selfish” in your eyes, but that doesn’t mean they’re not simultaneously contributing a substantial amount to our economy and way of life. Bottom line - not a zero sum game and we need those people far more than we don’t need them. 

On another note, doesn't look like your guys' guesses about billionaire philanthropy were based very much in reality.

BUT JEFF BEZOS MAX A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION OF $10B TO THE... Bezos Fund.

the honorable thing for trump to at this point would be to resign
I think he's way past that point... Though maybe he'll just rage quit as a final crazy statement.

It sure is going to be an interesting couple of weeks, that's for sure.

This situation isn't funny in the least, but what if upon Biden taking office he points at the former President and says "You're fired"?

Rioting after protest leads to curfew for Seattle - NEWS 1130

Portland Police Command Defends Bureau's Aggressive Tactics and Describes  Protesters as “Agitators” - Willamette Week

Donald Trump has declared it a terrorist organisation but what is Antifa  anyway? - ABC News

Riots erupt in several US cities over Minnesota police killing of unarmed  black man

No, what's happening in DC right now is not right or justified; but calling this "protesting" wasn't either!

Exactly!  Forgot to clarify "much like Portland, Chicago, et al" as far as "protesting"

No one's arguing that those BLM rioters are pieces of shit. No one. That's not the point.

A key difference between the two is that the president of the United States was not the figurehead, orator, and leader sparking any of those riots.

You're right. They're pretty much the same thing. So no doubt we can expect the exact same level of condemnation from you right?

Agreed. But you’re not being intellectually honest here, there were way more peaceful protests than there were riots.

Same could be claimed for what's going on today, as evident below; but we all know we're being fed BS when it comes to "news" reporting...

Image may contain: one or more people, text that says 'Capitol Hill 2:30 PM BREAKING NEWS CAPITOL POLICE ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT HELP CNN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: CONGRESS COUNTS THE VOTE LIVE CNN #CNNELECTION'

Not arguing that Trump isn't the instigator in today's acts, and it's a shit move on his part (but not unexpected); but there were a lot of elected officials who sat on their asses and allowed the BLM, ANTIFA and other "protests" to occur...

Oh, and media is totally acting disgusting in this whole mess today. Totally agreed! You’re not the media, so I hold you to a higher standard .

All depends on perspective. Sen Duckworth (sp?) was interviewed and said something along the lines of, “no I wasn’t worried, this is the Capitol for crying out loud, not Mogadishu!” Some other D, forget his name, decided to go the complete opposite direction with his comment talking about how incredibly scary it was.

Let’s not diminish how serious it is by making it seem more of a threat than it really was. No real threat at all, but still a totally reprehensible crime and assault on Democracy.
