    You come at Lina Khan, you come at me mother fucker. She is to be protected at all costs.

    Bonus from AOC:

    “Let me make this clear,” Ocasio-Cortez declared Wednesday, “since billionaires have been trying to play footsie with the ticket: Anyone goes near Lina Khan and there will be an out and out brawl. And that is a promise. She proves this admin fights for working people. It would be terrible leadership to remove her.”

    This is probably going to be the first big canary for Kamala tho. If she listens to the billionaire donors and replaces Khan, the next 4 years are going to suck.

    She’s like the one bright spot from Biden’s admin, and it’s distressing that Khan isn’t being highlighted in Kamal’s campaign.

      The Biden admin has done a lot of good during his term. It’s disingenuous to say Kamala is the one bright spot. Student loan forgiveness is another big one.

        Kamala isn’t the bright spot of the Biden Admin, Lina Khan is.

          Yep. And you know you’re on to something when both AOC and Sanders agree.

    Lina Khan is a fucking national treasure. Mark Cuban is a useless third-rate trash human who fell into some money from a dotcom bubble buyout over 20 years ago and has done nothing constructive for society with his life.

          And was very anti smoking! But Cuban isn’t running 17-million people into ovens either.

            Supported no-fault divorces and the importance of female pleasure!

              I’ve heard that expression very recently for the first time. I think from watching Hal Sparks.

        Cuban is the best guy on Shark Tank. This is not a high bar, and isn’t worthy of unqualified praise.

          Ah, it’s relative!

          Apple charges more than that when a developer sells a 99 cent fart app (30% commission). Cost Plus Drugs’ competition is absolutely fleecing Americans with 4-figure markups sometimes. Would be beautiful if more companies went the thrifty transparent C.P.Drugs way!

          And you have a problem with a company charging a measly 15% over cost?! Are you aware of the term “overhead”? Please, just don’t, you would go broke running a lemonade stand.
