The two foxes voted to eat the chicken, who voted against. They all had one vote each, so it was fair that chicken pot pie was served that night.

The chicken is the privileged upper class and the foxes ate the rich. I see no problem here.

The much more equitable situation, obviously, is to give one of the foxes all decision making power

The chicken is a minority who lives sustainably off seed and insects, while the foxes are a comfortable privileged class who can only subsist on the flesh of vegan animals.

We have a golf course near the middle of Des Moines where they started building houses assuming it would be yet another successful gated golf community. It didn't work at all, houses sat unsold, construction stopped and that whole area just sat mostly unused for years, other than some big charity golf tournament that happens there one weekend a year. It took them the better part of a decade to finally sell the few homes they did build. Unfortunately they haven't given up on it yet. Golf is, if not dying, then at least seriously declining. Very few people who are buying homes today care about golf.
Is it golf that's declining? Or just wealthy people who care so much about golf that they insist on living next to a golf course?

The chicken tastes better than the foxes, but is also more useful.

Which to eat is a tough call.

Chickens aren't vegan. They eat insects, as you state. Insects are animals.

And hell, they also will eat lizards and pick apart rodents and whatever else they can get hold of. Chickens are absolute monsters.

Golf is declining. The cost barrier for entry is huge and the green fees are exorbitant in most cases.

Perry and a few other Trump appointees seem to have gone in with a "I'm going to take down this overreaching government once and for all" attitude and months later had an epiphany of "Oh poo poo. What have I done." It's too late to actually fix the damage, of course.

My read on Perry is that he genuinely thought his Department was useless because he was too stupid/lazy to find out what it did before pledging to get rid of it so when someone actually sat down and said "okay here's what we do here" he was like "oh wow I had no idea, that sounds important, just uh keep on what you're doing".

Most others like DeVos or Pruitt were industry lobbyists who while stupid were at least clear on what their departments do and actively hated that and wanted them to stop.

Obviously child female testicles have the most power.

Yeah I think you have to grade the corruption of this administration on a curve. This may be far and away more corrupt than all of the previous corrupt administrations we've had combined, so a simple state-level corrupt scumfuck sort of fades into the background on a team full of international-scale business vampire squids that have hosed over multiple states or entire countries before.

The fact you responded after this was posted just shows how utterly dishonest you are in trying to debate this. I'm sure next you'll tell me I'm being Russophobic by reminding people that Glenn Greenwald has repeatedly been on their state-run propaganda networks posing as news. Can't imagine why.

That second tweet doesn't really change anything, though? I mean, he's right: we've had plenty of Ben Wittes-hyped BOOMS that had to be dialed back or corrected by further reporting. While Greenwald is (and I've said this before) probably a crank on this, and I suppose it could come out that Trump has been a compromised witting agent of Moscow since 1982 or whatever Abrams/Mensch/etc. are claiming this week, I don't think it will. I think it will be a lot of people around him being thirsty for oligarch money, and beyond that very little that's political about any of the connections with Russia, and those connections that do exist (which there are plenty) being about venal interests, rather than ideological or political goals.

And if all the people wanting the report released only cared about proving or disproving a connection to Russia you'd have a point; but they don't, so you don't. And that tweet proves my point that Glenn is fine with anonymous sources but only when they say the things he thinks are true.

Of course they do. Once the division of leftist and liberal became widely recognized, it became an insult used to say "you're a person I don't like." The vast majority of people don't really understand the nuances of leftism (or ... anything) and so the result is pretty much what you'd expect. It's the same cultural diffusion that made SJW meaningless.

It's a fun game trying to guess which words will lose all meaning next. Personally, I've just been calling everything I don't like republican. I'm hoping it'll catch on with the gamer crowd and replace their love of calling things gay. :v:

Ehhhh having had him as my governor, "too lazy to be properly evil" wasn't one of his flaws.

Like yeah I'm sure his management style at the DoE is basically "hmm well what do you think I should tell you to do" because he's lazy and stupid, but I doubt he still wants to destroy the whole thing and just keeps like putting it off or something.
