  1. You're wrong. Selfishness is an idea. And it's an idea easily weaponized by the greedy, power hungry and our enemies abroad. It's also quite easily distilled to soundbite and bumper-sticker form.
  2. Our immigration framework is immoral. We intermittently, unevenly and for childish reasons enforce laws that are at cross-purposes with our labor market needs. Unless you know the guy you're hiring is a dangerous felon of some sort, paying the market rate is more than acceptable.
  3. I had a conversation yesterday with a lawyer who believes it. I know well a judge who does. He may be an assclown, but he's found the lowest common denominator of humanity and has dragged most of the GOP down to it. I tend to think he's not smart enough to know this, and has "outside" help (in the vicinity of 55.7520° N, 37.6175° E).
  4. What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind.
  5. "I trust Gorsuch to act in a manner that favors individual rights." We don't have to "trust" anything. He's already got a track record there. He's in favor of only 2 individual rights. Guns and unlimited money in politics. He's the modern robber-baron's wet dream: distract the drooling masses with trinkets while the rich make off with anything not bolted down.
  6. Since people started carrying video cameras with them everywhere to capture the 10-15% of the human race who are completely worthless and ruin every goddamnthing for the rest of us. Not that much has changed. We're just getting to see the ugly shit our minority friends told us about but we didn't believe because it sounded absurd.
  7. #δυοπλευρες!
  8. War on Drugs still raging? Oh. See ya later 4th Amendment.
  9. Wouldn’t have mattered. Pubs believe as the Maoists believe: power comes from the barrel of a gun. They had final say on Garland, and fuck your traditions, civility and anything else that isn’t actual power. Dems who want the country we grew up in can fuck off. That country is gone.
  10. I think all surlyians should be behind bisexual women like:
  11. I wish some reporter would get an extended interview and ask Trump zero questions about reality, instead ask him to confirm or deny: the alien landing at Roswell we faked the moon landing 9/11 was inside job Qanon's hypothesis that the CIA (with an assist from Rafael Bienvenido Cruz) assasinated JFK that the HIV virus was developed by the CIA Chemtrails the reptoid hypothesis ancient astronauts the communist fluoridation plot Project Blue Beam the fortnightly addictive power of KFC chicken And so on. Draw out the crazy.
  12. Your expectations are way too high.
  13. Something something Tom Emanski something.
  14. I fucking love these guys.
  15. I'll take the under.
  16. Smartest, strongest, hard working, loyal. 1 of 4 ain't bad. Of course, the makeup of his cuckstituency is catastrophic for us. I think folks with parents hooked on fox news need to strike out a new course to save this country. We need to prevent the olds from voting en masse. Talk to a lawyer and get guardianship proceedings going. Do it for your country. Accuse your parents of being incapacitated today!
  17. Should have just gone with:
  18. I think you're missing a digit.
  19. So he knows nothing about planes.
  20. Jimmy McMillan?
  21. My wife started phone banking for Beto last night. I assume she’s calling local folks. We live in Montgomery County, so I figured she’d return home each night dejected after numerous negative reactions to her calls. Surprisingly, though, she said most of those she talked to said they were undecided. We’ll see if that continues, but in an 80% red county, that may not such a great sign for ole barrel bacon.
  22. lol at the idea that exposing bigoted shop owners would to their demise. It is fashionable again to be openly cruel, and exposure is just free marketing.
  23. Yep. See, for example, Employment Division v. Smith.
  24. “I smelled an odor, which I know from my training and experience to be that of burnt marijuana.” Done. The only thing that really stops cops from searching every car they want is hiring intelligence caps.
  25. Inevitable once Junior passed away.
