Isn't the title based on a previous similar thread about Paul Ryan, who was also a major disappointment? Seems fitting.
Yes it was. I am not sure why people put any hope into a Speaker of the House, the nature of their job is to cater to special interests and the welfare of the Party. An ideologue will never become Speaker, it takes a soulless pragmatist to get the job done.

This is probably one of more insane things from the article. Apparently the owner never completed anything higher than a high school education and Googled anything he needed to know regarding human tissue donations. As a result a lot of contaminated tissue was sold.
I used to work for a Biotech company that made a killing by selling human skin that was lifted off of body donors. The idea of selling or reselling human body parts sounds pretty unethical and after seeing the inside of the industry, I have to say that the whole thing is pretty fucking unethical.
"I could have been more open about the process of donation on the brochure we put in public view," Gore wrote. "When deciding which donors could be eligible to donate, I should have hired a medical director rather than relying on medical knowledge from books or the internet." -
Someone alert Bob Stoops.
PHOENIX – A head sewn onto a mismatched body, a bucket of limbs and a cooler filled with penises are among items found by FBI agents during a raid on a Phoenix body-donation business.

Over flying a disputed island to remind Japan and South Korea both allies claim it is a good way to drive a wedge between those 2 nations.
Yeah, Japan has already lodged a complaint to South Korea for exerting defense over Japanese claimed territory. It's an interesting way to rile up the South Koreans and Japanese who despite being allies have a lot of bad blood.

Walmart has a terrible history of working with hourly wage earners. Sam's Club just closes shops.

If Walmart has suddenly embraced unions, please link. I'd love to see a link to somewhere where they agreed to raise wages when a previous wage had been agreed to, outside of the conclusion of the CBA.

Not enough. I know he’s a liberal intellectual and I’ve heard speak many times. Never got into his writing. I’m willing to admit my speculation on his motivations could be wrong here.
Chomsky was pointing out the Trump base years before Trump and Russia showed up on the scene. Unlike the "concerned" Democratic liberal base he didn't see this as a gathering of racist bigots but instead saw it as a manipulation of the working class by the business class who will eventually lose control of the base the same way the German industrialists lost control of the early Nazi party. The Russians didn't create this political movement or empower it, the American Business class did. Keep in mind that Chomsky was saying this before Trump and the Russians became a thing. He doesn't see Russian interference as a serious problem because he was predicting this shit years before Trump showed up.

Perhaps Chomsky minimizes the Russian influence to focus more on the corporate power, which is actually a big part of the problem that knowingly allowed the Russian attack to go on. Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan out front.
Have you ever read anything written by Chomsky?

Meh. Brisket oversimplified analogies > Brisket math based on pulled out of ass numbers.
There is an 80% chance Xenu will return before the election, we are fucked either way.
It's like having Lupus, you don't take an aspirin and call it a day, you fucking call Tom Cruise or maybe John Travolta for an appointment with the e-meter to measure your Thetans. You get your ass to the Drag for that appointment and maybe head over to Waterloo for some CD's and try and pickup the cute strawberry blonde chick with an attitude working the register.

This is some insane shit. Is this what they really believe? They have to support Israel in order to bring about the rapture?
It's actually crazier than it sounds. The original kingdom of Israel must be restored, the temple rebuilt and then Jesus briefly returns to rapture the Christians. The Antichrist shows up and takes over the world and plagues and cataclysm follows. The Antichrist goes crazy after being possessed by Satan and starts cutting people's heads off and marking their foreheads with 666. Israel refuses to bow to the Antichrist and he leads the armies of the world against Israel. Jesus shows up again at the last second and kicks the Antichrist's ass for being a poser. All the Jews convert to Christianity afterwards.
The end.

That's a colonial caste system that intentionally uses race and ethnicity to divide the oppressed in order for the ruling class to retain power.
Tantric's point is basically addressing the "ignorance breeds contempt" problem. Familiarity with other groups tends to soften prejudices, especially when blood relations are shared.
Back to your reference of the Spanish colonial caste system, once Mexico became independent the nation united under the Mestizo banner. Sure they could have engaged in ethnic cleansing and what not but took the "let's just mix" approach. As a result Mexico had a black President nearly 200 years before the United States and abolished slavery* without fighting a war. Well, they did fight a war and lose over slavery, Texas Revolution.
Yes, Mexico still has issues but their integration streamlined race relations in a way that the United States could never achieve. The integration is primarily why there wasn't a mass genocide committed by the Mexican government against the indigenous population like the one in the U.S.
*Yes, I am aware that there are those that view integrating and black Presidents as a negative.
