It frustrates me that we have to be polite about stuff like that. Like if a guy stabbed a person to death, you wouldn't see him on late night shows (outside Japan), being interviewed by news organizations about how he felt about important issues, or (PROBABLY) being elected into high government positions. However if you blatantly abuse the justice system and kill a person that way then get away with it, well that's just fine and it would be uncouth to mention it every time that scum was seen in public.

Slaan posted:Does he want Russia to go full paranoid and bring out the nukes? Carson has shown time after time after time that he has extremely little knowledge about any sort of geo politics or even US politics. As far as I can tell the entire explination for Ben Carson is he was gifted black doctor that said Obama and Obamacare sucks and he became just the latest black friend of the GOP like Steel and Cain before him. He could have used that position to become some sort of thought leader on a GOP overhaul on the broken US medical care system but oops it turns out he didn't really understand Obamacare that well because he is a neurosurgeon and as such has extremely limited interaction with the business end of the healthcare system and really doesn't substantially disagree with the ACA. Inexplicably he decided to give up his talents and become a right wing political celebrity that has no idea what he is talking about but as a right wing political celebrity feels obligated to run his mouth anyways.

Wrap it up, Warrenailures, Martin's here to steal yo thunder.quote:The most serious structural reform we can make is reinstating the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act that kept commercial banks separate from investment banks. Under Glass-Steagall, our country did not see a major financial crisis for nearly 70 years. If that law hadn’t been repealed in 1999, the crash would have been contained. Oh, and White House Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri left her job for an as-of-yet unannounced new position. Whatever could it be?
