Dolash posted:If Bernie's backing Bush's comments about working more hours because it was talking about the need for full-time hours and benefits rather than everyone getting jerked around with part-time such that they need multiple jobs, good. I thought it was pretty unfair for everyone to interpret that comment as "Jeb's so out of touch, he wants us to work 100-hour weeks in the salt-mines", it's the same poo poo we complain about when Republicans take half a soundbite and explain what Obama really meant. I had more of a problem with the fact he said we needed to be more productive to boost the economy, disregarding the previously mentioned disconnect between increased worker productivity and compensation.

My favorite part of that release is that they're bragging that the forms weren't designed for someone of his wealth, yet there is still a checkbox that applies to them. If it wasn't designed to account for someone of his wealth, then it would be something like "40-50m" being the largest option.

Sheng-ji Yang posted:True story: the only reason the Second New Deal happened is because Huey Long intended to run as president from the left and FDR had to outmaneuver him. Did you miss the post saying that a third party threat tactic seems to only work when one party is dominant? In your Vermont example, as another posted pointed out, the Deomcratic party had a strong hold on things, which allowed for a third party challenge that didn't just gently caress everything up and give it to Republicans. Want to guess the margins on FDR's victory in 1932? 472 electoral votes to 59.

With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record. What do you think about that?

Mirthless posted:Well yeah Trump is probably still a jerk. Just saying, the dude projects the image of somebody in way over his head, it's easy to forget he's probably rich for a good reason. Nobody becomes a self made billionaire on accident Does inheriting a large real estate company count as being self made now? And his father, oddly enough, benefited a ton from the federal government, primarily the FHA. Can read more here

Mirthless posted:Yes, he is. He started with millions, turned them into billions. The difference between the numbers is pretty staggering, but the way you goons are framing it, the only thing keeping you from being richer than Trump is your starting point rather than your business savvy. Nobody said it was by accident, but if you think he couldn't gotten anywhere near his current wealth without having a wealthy father and upbringing then you're incredibly delusional, plain and simple. Otherwise you'd have to claim his business savvy is somehow inherent.

Louisgod posted:Having cops patrol Muslim neighborhoods sounds like a good idea actually. They should look into building robots - really tall ones, like maybe 20 ft tall - that can identify Muslims, any Muslim really, who cares, and lasso them cowboy style. The robots should have red eyes and talk in a robot voice. You mean a Trumpbot? Speaking in the Dear Leader's glorious booming voice? Just make sure the hands are the right size, not too large, like slightly smaller than a large sized robot hand, but a good size still.

Imam Malik (RA) has said that all living creatures are halal except for a eel. Based on this oyster, shrimp, lobsters and crabs will be permissible to consume.

No Mans Land posted:So you are justifying the shrill media site's incessant attempts to paint him with a label that has no relation to his actual actions, by saying its the perception that matters. Great. Is that what "reality has a liberal bias" means? Blanketing the landscape of facts with a specific agenda is its own kind of truth? Another word for that is propaganda. Did you not see the video posted several times in this thread about actual Trump quotes about women? Is this some sort of cheat? Like if I'm nice to any black people I interact with I can go to KKK rallies wearing my white hood with pride and not be a racist?

No Mans Land posted:I judge someone far more on their actions than their words and so I don't see a reason to think Trump thinks less of women professionally. In fact once he said that one good woman in the office is better than 10 men, although on average they are less effective than men he also said. This is certainly not a sexist thing to say, nope. Even if it was, it's just words, right?

Top Bunk Wanker posted:There are things women as a whole are not as good at doing as men are and it is objectively okay to acknowledge this. Please enlighten us on what things these would be in the office. I'm curious. No Mans Land posted:Women on average work fewer hours in the office than men, this is a fact. This plays into lower effectiveness. Still havent entered the realm of sexism. If you still think thats sexism then I guess life is very hard for you. Plenty of countries work less than us and are more productive. Studies have shown that increased hours worked does not produce a 1:1 increase in productivity, and at a certain point it is the opposite.
