So, to touch on all of those points. Pelosi is much more of a crook than Feinstein. Dick Blum had made a pretty damn good fortune before she married him, and while they are not the cleanest, they are not the dirtiest. Paul Pelosi was a middling investment banker who got right exactly because of his wife. My very educated opinion on those.

My point was that the tweet alleged that Gates was conspiring to avoid taxes by getting divorced. There are just too many good ways not to pay taxes and retain more control, especially if you are that rich, and that committed to not leaving money to the next generation above a certain amount. But it literally did allege that he was "conspiring" to do something with his wife. Hence conspiracy. I am not an accountant for sure, but I am sure any accountant on here could come up with a number of charitable trusts, remainders etc, that would be a lot more satisfactory than divorce.

I do agree that "conspiracy" has become overused. I will endeavor to find other words, but there is a lot of conspiracy thinking out there. It isn't necessarily an insult. Sometimes seeing a conspiracy is seeing a conspiracy that is actually happening. I mean, people do conspire. Racist is more overused, and more abused, to the point of being useless unless discussing the hypocrisy of the new racists, err the anti-racists, or whatever.
The tweet didn't imply anything about taxes. It implied that he knows this is the peak of the market and he's trying to get out before the collapse happens without drawing attention to it.

Implying he knows something is coming, I'd assume

Hmm. We read it differently. I definitely see your interpretation of it, though I am not sure it is any more realistic, as there isn't any reason to assume either would change asset allocation due to divorce. I am pretty sure they are not cash poor. And they can do as they like at any time w/r/t stocks. I don't even know if he is a beneficial owner at this point.
 
If true, he needs to go too.
haha, that's insane. He has to go because one of the biggest realty companies in the world owns the building he lives in? Some Chinese connection.

again, it gives people another excuse for their problems, besides being faggots and cunts.
I’ve always thought it gave them identity. That pathologizing themselves made them feel special.

I honestly don't know much about Shapiro other than his voice and firehose speaking style turn me off to the point I have to stop listening after what would normally be one person's sentence but is a paragraph or full page for him. By speaking in that manner he's able to effectively trick the listener because there is no time to actually think and comprehend what is being said. Sure one hears it, gets bits and pieces of information; but cannot fully process it. My take of course.
