  1. They're not necessarily evil but their worst feelings have been validated and nurtured by 30 years of talk radio and Fox News. They're done even pretending to be the party of family values, fiscal responsibility, and law and order. Most of what's left is just hating other people. George Will left the GOP because it has completely abandoned the principals it used to claim. Last week, Rush said it out loud that they never really cared about the debt. So, what's left of the Republican Party? https://fortune.com/2018/06/22/george-will-leaves-republican-party-donald-trump/ https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/17/politics/rush-limbaugh-debt-trump/index.html
  2. True that it won't work with his die-hard supporters but ads like that were probably pretty effective last time around and that was just with the Trump demo tapes. He's put out 4 albums worth of shit since. It's a way to reach voters that otherwise don't hear the truly awful things he says through mainstream media, let alone Fox and Friends. We can hit him much harder on all the sex crimes because he won't be running against the wife of Bill Clinton. We'll largely negate that again if we nominate Joe Biden.
  3. The message from our super Christian President on a Sunday morning: if you're here from one of "those" countries and you disagree with any of this shit, no matter how you got here or what you've contributed, shut up and get the fuck out. More than 90% of Republicans approve of this.
  4. Just subscribed to the Washington Post because I couldn't read your article otherwise. The private browsing trick doesn't work anymore. Democracy Dies in Darkness
  5. Derka, perhaps you can edit the thread title so anyone reading it knows they can donate just one kidney if they want to help.
  6. Snorch, you said, "aside form New England and Minnesota, the blue counties are a virtual road map of dependency." Shouldn't you add the most populated parts of California to your exceptions? The coastal parts, where most people live, are dark blue on the party map and less than 10% on the SNAP map.
  7. And Lincoln will demand Ivanka is sacrificed to the Kraken.
  8. I think you mean self-absorbed.
  9. Anyone remember that show, Otherworld, from the 80s? They had an episode where the teen son and daughter became superstars by performing hit songs from our reality that were unknown to the rubes in Otherworld. This movie reminded me of this.
  10. Just don't call it a concentration camp because that would be rude.
  11. The Fozzzz disclaimer: I hereby denounce FISA, Obama's deportations and drone strikes in rural Pakistan, what the CIA did in Central America in the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and all else that the United States has ever done wrong under all administrations. My position on anything I'm about to post is in no way an endorsement of any past bad behavior by our government or anyone else. Fozzz, could we do something like this so we don't have to hear the but Obamas and shit several times every day?
  12. ...underprivileged anyway, so this is working out very well for them. Thanks, Barbara.

    Hot Chip

    I'm really happy to see a Hot Chip thread. I've just discovered them this year and have been listening to them a lot.
  14. I'm sorry. I thought this was America. The full video...
  15. Right. If you have a tax rate of 100%, tax revenues will drop to $0. With the Trump tax cut and the Kansas Brownback tax cut, tax revenues decreased dramatically. Where is the sweet spot in the Laffer Curve? Do you agree with Laffer that Kansas didn't cut taxes enough? Laffer has said the problem in Kansas was that Brownback’s tax cut didn’t go far enough. “When you put an atomic bomb on a place, it will materially change the place – but a cherry bomb probably won’t change the buildings or anything else,” he told The Guardian in 2017. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-19/trump-awards-medal-to-controversial-tax-cut-champion-laffer
  16. So terrible, even for Mcnaughton. I'm worried he's about to crank out a series of these where he just reproduces a famous painting and slaps a maga hat on the subject. Maybe next he can slap hats on some of the survivors in Raft of the Medusa and have a swimming Trump pulling the raft to shore.
  17. Joe Biden is the supposed front runner of the Democratic Party and just served 8 years as VP. Also, anyone calling it the "Democrat Party" can fuck off on discussions about democrats much the way anyone referring to The University of Texas can fuck off if they're calling us t.u.
  18. As of right now, Dow is at about 24,900. Maybe Trump can brag about it breaking 25,000 again soon.
  19. I didn't see this posted in the thread but it looks like he actually tweeted this. Imagine knowing someone so dumb that they'd say this out loud, let alone send it out to the world by tweet. This idiot is President and he's spending his Memorial Day attacking his political opponents and the press. 40% of the country loves this guy.
  20. Right on about ALF. It ended on a really dark note. Last we saw, he'd been caught by the government and was likely going to be dissected. Willie just stood there like an idiot.
  21. Speaking of the death of Henry Blake and series finales, go to 21:00 of last St. Elsewhere episode. Patient 4077, Blake, Henry. Cause of death, thought to be injuries sustained in helicopter crash.
  22. Deadwood was cancelled unexpectedly between seasons. That was never meant to be the end of the series.
  23. I liked St. Elsewhere's ending.
