No one wants to assassinate him other than the figments of Ailes's diseased mind. Also while double checking the bomb proof office tidbit I discovered that Ailes once locked down the Fox News building because a Muslim looking guy was on the same floor as his office. The guy turned out to be a janitor.

We both know what the answer is, that they really don't rationalize any of their beliefs, it's all about making sure they are the winning "team". They don't give a gently caress about the constitution, freedom, equality, civil liberties, the troops, or even free markets or most of the ideological constructs they claim to subscribe to further then when it's personally convenient for them at this moment.

China's economy grew a lot because they basically hadn't had a modern market economy ever, their environmental policy is a nightmare that's led to the Gobi encroaching on the outskirts of Beijing, their political system is an oligarchical nightmare of backstabbing, they're scared shitless of a political uprising, them buying out debt is a better deal for us than it is for them and doesn't mean jack poo poo in a strategic sense because if they start dicking with us too much we'll just nationalize it and steal all of their money, and Donald Trump is a loving idiot.

Holy poo poo this wank piece over Paul Ryan on BuzzFeed. http://www.buzzfeed.com/mckaycoppins/paul-ryans-inner-city-education FuzzySkinner posted:Fox News (Cavuto) is in panic mode because they think the Chinese are overtaking us as a world power.

But that boom comes at the expense of the environment, the health of its people, and hasn't all together bettered the lives of the rural farmers who make up the majority of China's population and now find themselves used for manual labor in cities they have no connection to other than because it's a place for them to make money for their families still living in the countryside.

Anyone who thinks we should be emulating China has clearly never spent time in China. The smog is so thick that it burns your lungs and you wake up every day feeling like you smoked a pack of cigarettes the night before. Living there for any significant amount of time can take years off of your life. If we're going to mimic anything China is doing then it should be the rapid expansion of public transit. Oh, and street food vendors everywhere because that's pretty awesome

FuzzySkinner posted:THEY'RE BUYING UP OUR DEBT! In maybe 1 case in 10,000 someone wigging out about Chinese ownership of American debt actually understands how it works. The other 9,999 arguments are based in xenophobia and ignorance. Foreign countries buy American debt because it is an incredibly safe place to park money. It cannot be 'called in', anyone saying that is profoundly uninformed. China buying billions of dollars of treasury notes basically means that China has so much confidence in the American government that they are willing to loan us money at unfavorable rates because even though the rate of return means that some of that money disappears, you're guaranteed to get the rest out when you cash out. Japan owns slightly less US debt than China and nobody's freaking out, because this isn't the 80's anymore and China has replaced Japan as the terrifying economic bogeyman that will swoop in and enslave us all with their inscrutable financial sense.

Remember the :buhgawd: over HPV vaccines a while ago? FOX tested the waters with their patented, "We're just asking questions" fearmongering at 3:24, included in a scare film called, "Silent Epidemic, The Untold Story Of Vaccines:" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1m3TjokVU4&t=204s Joe Scarborough says that vaccine efficacy is a hoax like climate change. The vaccine hysteria is the overlap between far right and far left dittoheads. I didn't see a vaccine thread, apologies in advance if this is a bit of a stretch to post these here. The dittoheads say that vaccines are a hoax, it's only a matter of time before they say Obamacare is coming to inject junk science into your kids. One of my gradeschool friends went off the deep end, said I should watch the next video, too. I don't think I have the patience or the stomach to sit through it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiFqwzxKqp0

So Limbaugh  'd about the Sterling thing all loving day:quote:RUSH: Here's Joe in Chicago. Joe, great to have you on the EIB Network. I'm glad you waited to appear. Hello. Holy gently caress the projection in that last paragraph quote:RUSH: ... It kind of makes the point that it's never gonna be over. It was like when Obama was elected, how many people do you think, how many white people voted for Obama thinking that it'd be the end of racism? 'Cause nobody likes this. Nobody likes this racial divide. Nobody is made comfortable -- I take that back. There are a lot of people making money off of it. There are some people who actually promote it and like it. And, again, the Democrat Party's the home of this stuff. But, for the most part, your average, ordinary American wants no part of it.  Kenzie posted:I was listening to that for a bit. quote:RUSH: Here's Gaynelle in New Orleans. Great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello. quote:RUSH: I am proud to say there is only one speech code for everybody here. One speech code. However, that's not the case in America anymore. There are at least two speech codes, and if you don't know which one applies to you, you are gonna be the next Donald Sterling. I mean, there are certain things minorities can say that you can't if you're not a minority. And there's less and less that the so-called majority can say. State sponsored discrimination of whites to not say racist poo poo about minorities even though that's absolutely not what affirmative action is! It's like we have reverse apartheid in America

Depends on the hot dog cart. The ones that work on the daily are okay. The ones that are set up in a flash for one-night-only events like New Year's? Soggy awful mystery meat logs. Just awful in a city bursting at the seams with quality grub. You can recognize the bad ones because they snap tongs at people like Vegas card flappers and don't tell you their prices ("surprise! $5 for this tube of dreck!).Dr. Blaylock posted:Glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate glutamate Good to know that he's a conspiracy theorist, I can't take this anymore. Around the 10 minute mark he describes free radicals, (which no doctor really understands yet) then he says, "... it poisons the enzyme and depresses it." You can't poison or depress an enzyme. You can mix it with poison or contaminate it, but enzymes don't get sick, they're not living things.  Nanoconcentrations of mercury? There's far more methylmercury in fish than "nanoconcentrations," yet he thinks nanoamounts in vaccines. I'm done with this video. FuzzySkinner posted:Fox News (Cavuto) is in panic mode because they think the Chinese are overtaking us as a world power. Edit: Cavuto is dead wrong for many simple reasons. One is that the Chinese government, which closely regulates and controls its trade, is playing the long game. They have knowingly allowed their people to be abused as slaves knowing that it will bankrupt the United States with the promise of cheap, shoddy goods in exchange for nearly all of its domestic manufacturing. Yes, China is "succeeding" because it has almost no safety or environmental regulations, making things cheaper, but one of the root causes is that American investors like those at Bain Capital or the late Enron care only about short term profit. The long term success or failure of their own country be damned, they'll be in the Bahamas waited on hand-and-foot by servants. tl;dr: More For Me, gently caress You.
