Mr. Nice! posted:https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...m=.0a7f946a2791 This sounds like a good strategy for taking down the orange turd himself. Thoroughly deep-dick everyone around him without legal protection of being president. Probably the very first case like this turns up all kinds of good poo poo on the big guy himself and just let it turn into a legal Katamari rolling around crushing everyone.

Outrail posted:Every time I'm in the states I can't get over how bad your infrastructure is. Australia has way more roads per capita but it's all so well maintained. Because Republican rhetoric is used to camouflage the looting and pillaging of the entire country from idiot voters that keep putting Republicans in office. Since giving the obscenely, sickeningly rich in this country almost 50% of the wealth of the entire nation hasn't yet resulted in a glorious free market utopia of pristine infrastructure and 100% employment the only answer is to cut taxes and give them more money. If the government started spending money that would obviously be bad because government is bad, so we have to underfund everything including infrastructure. Like, I get how colossally loving retarded and short sighted and ignorant of facts or reality that sounds but, President Donald J Trump.

No real solution as long as they keep voting "gently caress me, just be sure you gently caress THOSE sort of people harder". The solutions exist, they just refuse to accept them and instead go whole hog on sinking into the past and ignoring any efforts to fix things.

OK so Trump's Muslim ban, some things I'm trying to figure out. If memory serves it was a "temporary pause" of 90 days while we made america great and safe again by doing whatever idiotic brain droppings oozed out of his word-hole, right? We're past his hundred day mark in office so what the gently caress has he been doing for those 90 days if things aren't great and safe yet? Like, what am I missing here that isn't "gently caress you muslims because you're brown"? What would he have done that necessitated the "temporary" totally not-racist ban that he hasn't been able to do without it?

Richard Bong posted:Can you go into a little more detail I must have missed this. There was a union. Holy Saint Reagan, peace be upon him, didn't like unions. He fired every single one of them because they dared to do what unions do, namely not work and threaten the money. Surprise, now we have basically the entire country's air traffic control staffing knocking on retirement's door at the same time. Oh also it was a warning shot across the bow of every single other union in the country that they were completely and utterly hosed, totally powerless, and would be crushed if they did anything uppity like force capital to accept the existence of labor as anything other than replaceable cogs to be given the minimum maintenance and then discarded afterwards. Shockingly union membership in the US is abysmal now, because unions can't actually do anything anymore.

I mean we've seen this kind of thing before around the world and historically. Lie constantly about everything and anything in as bigly a manner as possible to create enough doubt and confusion that people can start to accept your lies. Never defend, always attack. Lie and blame the other side for doing everything you do. As long as you use the right code words and whip up enough hatred and xenophobia people will ignore their lying eyes and give you their support to gently caress over the targets.

"Trading" at record highs for bitcoin is extremely deceptive. Last time I looked they were taking the highest single valuation and just slapping that price point on every single theoretical transaction then claiming that to be the value. Out here in reality that price point would crater to the floor faster than Groverhaus if there was any serious market activity. I haven't read the bitcoin thread in like a year but I'm pretty doubtful they've changed anything significant.

Hmm, gonna be a real hoot to see the GOP response to this. What are they going to do, advocate for gun control? Doubtful. Can't do the Black Panther response of taking guns only from "those" sorts of people to keep "good" people safe since it was apparently a white guy. I don't think America is that far gone that we can take guns from people based on political affiliation because that might actually be something that triggers the "tyranny" response from noticeable numbers of the Trump base. May you live in interesting times indeed.

MazelTovCocktail posted:Come on that's far more of a stretch compared to what happened today. For all we know Furies set Jared off, while this dude had a rather clear poltical agenda. But why do Republicans get to say it was a mentally unstable person on the fringe of politics that was in no way representative of their ideology or the rhetoric of hatred flying around at the time while this guy is definitely representative of their opponents and was obviously pushed into action by the rhetoric of hatred aimed at Trump and his political party? They don't get it both ways, especially when they've been the ones doing this poo poo for decades. There was goddamn Rush Limbaugh screaming about it and "warning" of the danger to come on loving air across the nation whipping more of this poo poo up. That is some stunning, next level hypocrisy. Suddenly the exact same arguments work for them that have been for loving decades coming from "pussies" or "unamerican" or "snowflakes" or "liberals". This poo poo is bad and should stop...so maybe they should be the ones that stop since they're actually doing it?

Decades and decades of people shouting that "we need to run the government like a business!" while completely ignoring the many, many things wrong with the statement. gently caress experience, gently caress knowledge, gently caress contacts, gently caress public service, if you run a business and can extract profit you are automatically a part of the elite class in america and should be given deference as such.
