Obviously no decisions of any sort should be made over the next four to eight years, because we do not have telepathy, and therefore it is impossible to know, or look into, or find out, what anyone knows or what motivates their decisions.

Please do not question the President of the United States.

He has a great brain. A yuge brain. He doesn't need you second guessing and commenting on everything!

well, good thing you elected Trump, the person most likely to roll back all progress on the drug war and start jailing marijuana users again

in before "Well, actually, Trump said he was pro drug in..." while ignoring he picked Jeff Sessions as his AG (and we knew it was either going to be sessions or christie back in like loving september dude)

We went from, "I disagree with what you say but will fight to the death for your right to say it"

to

"I disagree with everything you say and will do everything in my power to ruin your life, fascist" in 2016

to

"I disagree with everything you say, but you agree with the Democrats. Therefore you are my friend" in 2017

Progress?? I think??

Shut the gently caress up, good lord.

There are probably two real Trump supporters itt and one is prorat which could go either way. Besides, Clinton supporters did more to elect Trump than salty Bernouts like myself

To be fair you can only vote for someone based on what they say, not on what their appointees are after they are already elected.

nobody thinks hillary ran a good campaign but how can you still be thinking about that when what's going on in the here and now is so drat bizarre?

So based on the last few pages: Trump hosed a middle management IT guy, which led to the Democrats falling apart because it caused Hilary to not campaign.

I'm sorry for feeling a little resentment over the obligation to work 5 days a week when the productivity tools to halve that already exist and our economy has ample excess cash to handle the decrease in productivity per dollar per laborer if the work week was shortened or reduced.

you don't have to be a technocrat to know that we don't need to pay a department to approve timecards when we already have team managers and an auditing department that goes through the records every quarter

we don't need everybody to have a job and we don't need everybody to spend a third of every weekday at a jobsite. The money to do this already exists in the economy, at the top of it. A GMI would simply distribute that wealth more evenly across all income brackets. It would be good for the economy to actually have people spending the money we are printing.
