Years ago, my high school elected a Hamilton Beech 4-slice electric toaster as Student Body President.
That was during the Nixon Administration and Viet Nam. People were pretty cynical.

Slogan: "Vote Hamilton B. Toaster! He will never lie to you!"
...
Bastards changed the rules to require the candidate be an actual human.
The next year they added that it be a live human. Lincoln was then disqualified.

The global conspirators want Clinton to be president, so Trump is actually proof that they're really good at what they do.

Well even the fact that he was nominated. Though on the other hand, if I had power over the Republican primary and wanted Hillary to win I would have nominated Trump.

Yglesias is here for liberals too milquetoast and gormless to rely even on the likes of Krugman. He'll happily poo poo out a 2-paragraph "thinkpiece" on how paying slaves in Bangledesh pennies to sew in an ancient, crumbling edifice is Just Good Economics.

I feel like we need a Matthew Yglesias thread, because loving hell, this is what a liberal is in American media now:

quote:

Yglesias started blogging in early 2002, while still in college, focusing mainly on American politics and public policy issues, often approached from an abstract, philosophical perspective. Yglesias was a strong supporter of invading Iraq, Iran and North Korea, calling the countries on his blog "evil" and stating that "we should take them all out," although he was critical of the term "axis of evil."

Upton Sinclair and Theodore Roosevelt just didn't understand economics, clearly.

he published that article days after the bangladesh factory collapse that killed 1200 people, and the picture with it shows workers injured from it.

Every article he writes that seems like it ought to have some content is equally terrible.


http://www.vox.com/2016/8/17/12494052/hillary-clinton-neocons

Clinton hangs out with neocons, but she isn't a hawk. We know this because, "she continues to support diplomacy with Russia.." and "favors a diplomatic approach to the North Korean nuclear issue."

In the middle east Clinton just wants to keep things they were before Obama, she is about consistency, not aggression. She, "has indicated a greater eagerness to be involved in Syria" and "has gone out of her way to say that she doesn't see the nuclear deal with Iran as a prelude to normalizing relations."

quote:

The fact that stepping completely outside the bounds of longstanding bipartisan US foreign policy consensus would lead some foreign policy–focused Republicans to support Clinton shows that she is broadly inside that consensus, not that she’s some kind of super-hawk.
