Nobody, nothing--people around here are not pros at this sort of thing. This is the sort of thing Mafia people can do: washing money, getting clean money, and things like that. We just don�t know about those things, because we�re not used to, you know, we�re not criminals. We're not used to dealing in that business. It's a--

President Nixon: That's right.

Dean: It�s a tough thing to know how to do.

President Nixon: Maybe we can�t even do that.

Dean: That�s right. It�s a real problem as to whether we could even do it. Plus, there�s a real problem in raising money. [John] Mitchell has been working on raising some money, feeling he�s got, you know, he�s got�he�s one of the ones with the most to lose. But there�s no denying the fact that the White House and [John] Ehrlichman, [Bob] Haldeman, and Dean are involved in some of the early money decisions.

President Nixon: How much money do you need?

Dean: I would say these people are going to cost a million dollars over the next two years.

Short pause.

President Nixon: We could get that.

Dean: Mm-hmm.

President Nixon: If you�on the money, if you need the money, I mean, you could get the money fairly easily.

Dean: Well, I think that we�re--

President Nixon: What I meant is, you could get a million dollars. And you could get it in cash. I know where it could be gotten.

Dean: Mm-hmm.

President Nixon: I mean, it�s not easy, but it could be done.

if Morrissey just stuck to talking about US politics, he'd be absolutely beloved.

quote:

At a Dublin concert in June 2004, Morrissey commented on the death of Ronald Reagan, saying that he would have preferred if George W. Bush had died instead.[409] Morrissey openly criticized the War on Terror and condemned Bush as "the world's most famous active terrorist, as he bizarrely bombs the innocent people of Iraq out of existence in the name of freedom and democracy" in his autobiography.[410]

During a January 2008 concert, Morrissey remarked "God Bless Barack Obama" and criticised Hillary Clinton, naming her "Billary Clinton".[411] However, in 2015, he accused Obama of not doing enough to tackle police brutality, stating he could not "see him doing anything at all for the black community except warning them that they must respect the security forces."[412] He endorsed Clinton in the 2016 United States presidential election,[238] although later criticised her as "the face and voice of pooled money" and praised Bernie Sanders as "sane and intelligent", accusing the US media of paying insufficient attention to his campaign. Morrissey called Donald Trump "Donald Thump" and accused him of not having any sympathy for the victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting.[413] When asked in a 2017 interview if he would push a button that would kill Trump if given the opportunity, he responded that he "would, for the safety of the human race."[244][414][245] He later said the United States Secret Service questioned him over his comments on Trump.[415]

Please stop calling Joe Biden Genocide Joe!

John Kirby posted:

Q Thank you. And the second question. Protesters here in D.C., in New York, across the country � they�ve settled on a nickname for the President. They�ve been calling him �Genocide Joe.� They wrote it on the gates. Do you have a response from the White House for that nickname that they�ve settled on?

MR. KIRBY: We�re not worried about nicknames and bumper stickers. I mean, it � it�s First Amendment, free speech.

The President is focused on � as he wrote in his op-ed, on making sure that we can continue to support Israel as they fight a terrible terrorist group, Hamas, and as we all work together to get humanitarian assistance in and get people out, including hostages.

I said this the other day: Again, people can say what they want on � on the sidewalk and that � and we respect that. That�s what the First Amendment is about.

But this word �genocide� is getting thrown around in a pretty inappropriate way by lots of different folks.

What Hamas wants, make no mistake about it, is genocide. They want to wipe Israel off the map. They�ve said so publicly on more than one occasion � in fact, just recently.

And they�ve said that they�re not going to stop, what happened on the 7th of October is going to happen again and again and again. And what happened on the 7th of October? Murder. Slaughter of innocent people in their homes or at a music festival. That�s genocidal intentions.

Yes, there are too many civilian casualties in Gaza. Yes, the numbers are too high. Yes, fam- � too many families are grieving. And yes, we continue to urge the Israelis to be as careful and cautious as possible. That�s not going to stop, from the President right on down.

But Israel is not trying to wipe the Palestinian people off the map. Israel is not trying to wipe Gaza off the map.

Israel is trying to defend itself against a genocidal terrorist threat. So, when we�re going to start � if we�re going to start using that word, fine, let�s use it appropriately.

Rejection of reality:
- Hamas is doing the genocide.
- The civilian death toll is too high, but Israel is trying REALLY hard not to murder them.
- Israel is trying to defend itself against a genocidal terrorist threat.

Genocide denial:
- Israel is not trying to wipe the Palestinian people off the map.
- Israel is trying to defend itself against a genocidal terrorist threat.

I hate The United States of America so goddamn much.

illinois & california were two of the top fraud states for unemployment comp, and they linked the cause to those states farming out the design & implementation of those systems to mckinsey-style consultants.

and yet tens of millions of people were making more on unemployment comp than they'd been making at their minimum-wage jobs. It was guaranteed basic income that worked when it wasn't hosed.

Yes, it worked at the time. I'm just tickled that Jay Inslee has his goons out there claiming that single moms & waiters owe the state $50,000 three years later because his agency can't be bothered to do their jobs right
