Oh, is that confirmed now? I remember reading a couple articles about it like a month ago.

its a fake number because its counting every accounting correction as a positive number and adding them together, so you count the same money over and over

so if the books say 100 dollars was sent to foofram, and then foofram gave it to beetle bailey and he spent it on tank polish, but what actually happened was it went to sgt snorkel and he gave it to otto to buy K9 training gear that comes out as like 1000 dollars, because it was written down as '100 to foofram, 100 from foofram, 100 to bailey, 100 from bailey, 100 to tank polish guys', all of which get added to 500, then they put in another 500 adding in where the money actually went

like lol the pentagon fucks up spending all the time but they dont manage to lose fifteen times their annual budget

liberals: leftists refuse to be pragmatic and get behind the most electable leaders
leftists: we want to build a cross-racial coalition of the poor and exploited to make a better life for all instead of an inverse pyramid driven into our backs that exists solely for a deranged, sick few
liberals: gently caress that WINE MOMS TO THE FRONT

Is there any concentrated effort to replace incumbent Democrat senators in the primaries? It'd be funny if the "we need to reach across the aisle" types who've spent most of their life in office get voted out.

Does your fiancee have any explanation for why only a centrist can beat Trump? Because the last ten years uh haven't been great for centrists.

centrists are better at winning elections which is why the centrist john kerry obliterated bush but the much more radical obama couldnt beat mccain

Liberalism exists to justify capitalism. Left-wing ideologies, like socialism, are incompatible with capitalism. But capitalism is compatible with fascism. And so liberalism slides right a lot easier than it slides left.

Obama and Bill winning bigly and Kerry and Hillary both losing is evidence that post-Reagan realignment Dems can only win if they run as a left-winger, regardless of what their actual governing policies are.

A knock on the door, which proceeds to open without waiting for a response. "Secretary Clinton, we've been over it again, as instructed. The Algorithm clearly states you must provide the people a reason for seeking the presidency."

"I've told you already, I have my reason." She waves Mook away, returns to her desk and sighs deeply as a look of resignation comes over her face. She knew the outcome, it had already been foretold. Trump will be president and she will be to blame. The truth though, none of them could know. In the history books she would be the villain and this last act of sacrifice will have perished with her. "At least its done. At least its not Bernie Sanders."

tell her about the 108 million people who didn't vote in the election because neither candidate were worthwhile

then pose this question: is it easier to get 5% of these people to vote, or to convert insane chuds?

bonus: play some footage from CPAC to really drive home the point on the latter

its just pragmatic to try to win chud votes instead of nonvoters since it will be illegal for nonwhites and people with a negative net worth to vote in a couple years anyway
