AlBorlantern Corps posted:Lol this Republican "journalist" couldn't resist calling her a bitch  selec posted:“Capitalism forced the powerful companies and oligarchs that could previously exploit other countries to start turning those means of exploitation onto the Metropol to maintain an expectation of constant financial accumulation, and due to the enormously shriveled capacity for class analysis or meaningful examination of capital among the majority of the most popular thinkers and leaders of the day, average citizens had no model to use to explain their decreasing fortunes and increasing anxieties. At the same time, information technology incorporated new psychological techniques to influence human behavior, the artifacts of which increased anxiety, distraction and a sense of powerlessness to change the material conditions of their lives, and to explain the atomization and anomie of their lives. Because of the dearth of coherent explanations for the widening gap between the life experiences of the haves vs the have nots coupled with a national myth that laid blame for their material wants as individual failings, average citizens were unable to reason themselves out of the bind of doing poorly but not knowing how to meaningfully blame themselves as the myth demanded, only enhancing the alienation they felt.” That's well and good, but how does that help them understand why the man make a tweet?

pseudanonymous posted:It's not about decorum, it's about doing what's right. Trump should be investigated because he committed crimes, not because someone trolled someone on twitter. Investigating someone for pissing them off is what Republicans do. Shut the hell up. They do it all the drat time. It's about time someone throws poo poo their way and is actually really good at it. gently caress off.

JasonV posted:I thought the point of adding tarifs to foreign steel is so that American steel is cheaper and so demand for it goes up, which means they need to produce more and hire more people. Instead American steel companies just raised their prices to match the foreign steel prices. Because there's no new demand, they can just pocket the extra profits. The only people losing out are American businesses that use steel. No, tariffs don't work to do anything other than raise the prices of domestic whatever. There's some argument to be made for "infant industries" but with something mature like steel, this is what you get.

Xombie posted:Please specify what kind of power you imagine 29-year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was working as a bartender a year ago, having in the US government.  if she got plonked on any committee with relevant subpoena powers she'd have almost as much power to use them as any other non-chairperson repcommittee assignments haven't been formalized yet but she's put out feelers for an environmental subcommittee (good, probably not Junior relevant, although it's my understanding it'd be under Energy and Commerce, which is), Ways and Means (VERY good, probably not Junior relevant), or Financial Services (also maybe worrisome to the Trumps) all three of which are pretty juicy postings, by the by, so if she gets one that's a sign the CPC juniors have some pull

I'm guessing if there are any juicy indictments dropping today it'll be that time pretty soon! I'll donate $10 to the ACLU if Corsi gets indicted. $25 to the ACLU if Roger Stone is indicted. $25 to RAINN if DJT Jr is indicted.

Lightning Knight posted:I asked earlier if Virginia still does and nobody answered. Per Molly (@socialistdogmom), Virginia has the death penalty, but only for certain categories of 1st degree murder, e.g. killing a cop or a child (I don't remember the categories exactly). What Fields did is regular 1st-degree murder and so does not qualify for the death penalty.

pookel posted:I'm a few pages behind, but I don't think anyone answered this. Huh. Well, someone else claimed he is facing the death penalty, so I dunno who to believe but I know Fields is extremely (self-)owned for all the evidence he left that he clearly premeditated. Edit: that said Molly is smart so I'll trust her.

Look, I don’t make conservatives turn sexual pathology into policy positions over, and over, and over again, they keep doing it. I think it’s hosed up and weird, but to deny it’s a huge factor in a lot of their policy, mythmaking and rhetoric is just naive. See: every abortion policy maps much more closely to punishing women for having sex than it does to actually caring about children.
