Free Luigi.

Sonnenfeld had a weird history leaving ATL decades ago.

Anytime articles about academics include "later exonerated," something's up, but they're pretty well buried.

Wait, the left hates billionaires, or do they?

So billionaires want their dementia addled, placeholder back as president?

@#3 ... Wait, the left hates billionaires, or do they? ...

... and that question relates to the thread topic .... how?

From the cited article ...

... Several top corporate CEOs recently confided that despite their public shows of fealty to President Donald Trump, they are less than flattering of him behind closed doors.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump was the main topic of conversation a gathering of corporate executives at the Yale CEO Caucus earlier this week. The economy has been on a roller coaster ride since Trump announced -- and then almost immediately withdrew -- punishing new tariffs on all goods imported from Canada and Mexico. 25% tariffs on Canadian imported steel and aluminum products went into effect Wednesday, however.

When Trump suggested doubling his steel and aluminum tariffs, the roomful of CEOs " which included JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, Pfizer CEO Albert Boula and Dell CEO Michael Dell -- the Journal reported that the room "responded with a mix of groans and shocked laughter." ...


So, I ask, how does your current alias get from those comments to, "Wait, the left hates billionaires, or do they?"

Far too late now. Without thinking of which of his supporters he will befoul, El Rey Dotardo II is sticking it to those who bent their knees, offered money for legal bills, and applauded like trained seals at every word, burp and fart from Trump. Liquor, lumber, car parts, commodities, utilities, farm goods and many more American products will be made to endure pain, for some reason only the oaf at the helm can discern.

Trump values blind loyalty, and many, including the cowardly CEO crowd, have opened their eyes while this country is driven into a ditch, and then over a cliff ...

Those Trumpickets you masters of the universe geniuses latched onto are neither transferable nor refundable.
Compliance will not be negotiable.
After all, you helped build this.

Is "Top American CEOs" sorta the same thing as "Oligarchs"? Or does it depend on the context?

#7 - Try looking the word up if you don't know. And no, context isn't it. Your attempt to manipulate the word into a meanng so you can make an argument is wrong.

Yav you such an active imagination. Perhaps you can explain the argument I am trying to make and the meaning I am trying to manipulate from the word because I have absolutely no idea. If all you got is projection, at least explain it to the class.

Oligarch -

  1. a ruler in an oligarchy.

  2. a very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence (particularly with reference to individuals who benefited from the privatization of state-run industries after the collapse of the Soviet Union): it seems more than a coincidence that former employees, advisors, and allies of the billionaire oligarch have been parachuted into such positions.
See number 2.
