Presumably you view other members of humanity as more than chattel to be used for personal gain and lorded over so yeah you're a country mile ahead of rich people in this aspect.

I missed this in all the circus yesterday:

quote:

After she returned to Capitol Hill, Ms. Pelosi said that for Mr. Trump, the wall was “like a manhood thing for him.

“As if manhood could ever be associated with him,” she said.

Love to pay IRS auditors decent wages and benefits so they can squeeze pennies on the dollar out of poor people.

You know, instead of pulling in many times their salary going after very rich people who either accidentally screwed up their taxes or deliberately engaged in tax evasion. Or both.

Olivia took over for creeper and hack Gil Gilchrist and Nancy hasn't been this good since Bushmiller. She's trying to stay as anonymous as possible since some of the older Nancy fans are rabid.

Nancy is good now because the wind is blowing hard enough that she's grown a spine. If she doesn't seriously stand up to Trump and do it in public she probably won't survive the next leadership challenge. I would have preferred her to not have to wait until the public opinion polls drifted this way but hey, whatever.

Chuck remains the worst.

Pelosi I can take or leave but I give her points for taking a swing at Trump to his face.

Chuck is an attention whore and I think that can be demonstrated by (as Trevor Noah pointed out) his repeated looking at the camera during the exchange. I couldn't help but pick up on his talking about something "wasteful that doesn't solve the problem" when he's the one who championed an airline pilot hiring law which didn't fix the underlying issue at all. :ironicat: The only thing at all I like about Trump is his needling of him because gently caress Trump otherwise.

This was my biggest gripe with Hilldawg and her. It's nice that they're willing to change their mind, but having convictions is kinda nice if for some reason a red wave were to come in saying "HEALTHCARE FOR POORS IS BAD"

It's also got the added bonus of giving GOP congressmen the ammo to justify downsizing the number of auditors. "We pay each auditor 75,000 a year, but on average each one is only pulling in 56,000 in back taxes and fines. We should get rid of some auditors!"

That article was a hoot from start to finish. For those who haven't read it:

The writer is a professor at one of the City University of New York campuses, and is fairly well respected in the field of tech culture. When he agreed to speak, he thought he'd be fielding questions about the utility of recent tech advances. It def didn't go the way he expected.

Bonus points for the absolute sociopathy of the wealthy. He suggested that, to keep security forces loyal after the end, rich people could try being nice to their guards now. :lol: Nah, let's just fit them with torture collars and zap them like disobedient dogs.

I love how the news has solved one of the big things I was struggling with for my next D&D campaign--where do all the dungeons come from? Just saying they're old dwarven ruins or whatever makes everything super generic and boring and hard to come up with ideas for. Making them the survival bunkers of the hyper-wealthy who ruined the last great civilization is way better.

Pelosi just kind of leads from her base of support or if she's unopposed, the vague middle of the caucus. When the house dems were chock-a-block with blue dogs who were more like 1908 Democrats than 2008 Democrats, she was considerably further toward the right, but managed to pass the ACA in the house with the public option intact.

The blue dogs are gone and lots of the "moderate liberals" have been replaced with better representatives who have naturally pushed that center toward the left. It's the fabled overton window, and pelosi has the added benefit of knowing who her opposition is. She might not pass any federal rent control laws since she still has to represent her extremely wealthy constituents.

Well don't they all get taught in bible school to treat others how they wish to be treated? Maybe they're all just closet masochists? But that would just reflect badly on normal masochists
