The fact that porn mags are still a thing in TYOOL 2015 is kinda astonishing, really. 3 billion people have regular access to the internet now, so where the hell are they still selling?

Apparently the majority of porn magazines published today exist purely to be sold (or smuggled) to prisoners.

I'll never understand how "let's have the government pay off student loans" is considered free stuff but "let's literally mail a check for cash money to every citizen and call it a tax cut" isn't free stuff. Especially because we aren't running a surplus, we aren't "giving people their money back" we are giving them money that we borrow in the form of national debt. Like, how is "I'll build a wall and get mexico to pay for it," not promising free stuff?

Because a tax cut is just Big Government deciding to steal less from the hard working taxpayer in order to fund the infrastructure, police, fire, sanitation, defense, and other services taxpayers demand.

It's like if you saw a store advertising a buy one get one free sale on coconuts, and assumed that the store essentially owed you a free coconut without paying for the first one.

It's weird, you can see videos from when W. was Governor of Texas where he seems pretty darn sharp. I mean, he was still a terrible person, but it's like seeing someone before and after a very mild stroke.

JRRose is a shithead but he seems nicer than the other guys. He could be just as racist as the other fucks, and thus his hatred for a black man supersedes his old Cold War fears of communism.

I think, however, JRRose is just a really ignorant man, and he goes along with whatever mainstream conservative memes are popular.

I remember reading one of his books ages ago in which he described some ESP/mystic woman visited him and he'd tested her using cards with images and she got every last one of them right. Thus he concluded that since he's basically impossible to fool, she's the real deal and magic exists.

I guess it's one of those Conan Doyle things: you write ultimate skeptic smartasses in fiction (Sherlock Holmes, Dogbert) and start to believe your own hunches and ideas somehow clear the same standards.

Putin's just a fake manly-man action figure diving headfirst into the blood-soaked quagmire of Syria.

Like seriously, Saudi Arabia/Qatar/Turkey and even the US are giving away TOWs (anti-tank missiles) like candy to any and all rebel groups in Syria in response to Putin backing Assad, and that poo poo is gonna get so bloody and miserable for Russia/Putin in the coming weeks when Russia starts losing troops by the hundreds (at least) to rebel forces.

The thing is that in the full context he wasn't even necessarily saying that the email thing should be ignored; he was actually calling out the media for spending so much time on that while ignoring more important issues.

I think this is it, really. It's like if he hung out with liberals he'd repeat left-wing talking points. JRRose is essentially that really nice guy who will do anything to impress his no-good friends, even tho the result is usually pretty cringe-worthy (in his case, dad-puns).
