His consistency is his most admirable quality.

I never cared for all of the 60's nostalgia back in the 90's.

Yeah I know that he prematurely ejaculates at strip clubs when a dance so much as glances at him.
I remember that one. As I recall, he also has an issue with an undersized foreskin and his helmet has never seen the light of day because it's wrapped too tight.
He has a real strong Chad Briscoe vibe but I really want Jersey Man to be real.

Even if it isn't a deliberate attempt to "tar the other side," it appears that at least minor scholars and journalists are a little too anxious to prove their points and cut historical or evidentiary corners to do so.
Nancy MacLean comes to mind.

Right, but if you call it out and explain how it really works, even the dumbest people could be somewhat informed. It's not that complicated. But they just let him continue to push the lie.
It's easy enough to explain that a tarrif is a tax on Americans but once you go down the road of comparative advantage, Guns and Butter, trade surplus vs deficits, capital inflow and balance of payments, people start to tune out. I think that being pro-trade is counterintuitive to our basic tribal instincts and protectionism just makes sense if you are unaware of how international trade works. It's easy to accept the simple mindedness of protectionism.
It also just seems like a lot to fit into a soundbite, which is why I assume no one bothers to discuss it on TV.

I would guess that the majority of the voting public lacks a basic understanding of international trade so a call out probably wouldn't resonate at all.

About 10 years ago I bypassed the Great Firewall of China by setting up an encrypted tunnel between an office in Shenzhenin and Singapore. Normal traffic was routing through Tokyo but the web proxy was sending internet traffic out to Singapore.
I eventually received a letter from the Chinese Ministry responsible for censorship with a big ass list of forbidden websites and an explanation that the current network setup was violating Chinese law. I ignored the letter. Got another one and then ran it by our legal team who said to make the changes. I went into techno babble mode and said it will take a lot of time to do.
Eventually I received a third letter and did the jerk off motion. Finally I receive a call from our Regional director for APAC who was visiting from Australia. Dude was freaking out. Talking about the Chinese authorities not letting him go home and threatening jail until I shut down the internet access. Poor guy was shitting bricks so I obliged.
I would go on to receive other letters regarding encryption and other shit over the years.
Dealing with China is a fucking beating. I hated those assholes.
It's like having dinner at someone's house who abuses his wife and kids and then trys to steal all your shit but gets insulted if you notice any of it.

Who knew joining the Taliban could end so poorly?
Prior to 9/11?
The guy went in thinking he was going to be fighting the Northern Alliance. Then 9/11 happens and the U.S. invaded Afghanistan and aided with the Northern Alliance. Bad place and bad timing.
If you recall, up until that point in time, Islamic fighters were portrayed as freedom fighters in the 80's and 90's. There was that one American kid that volunteered to fight for Islamic Chechen forces against Russians in Chechnya. I don't even need to mention all the 80's propaganda about Afghanistan.

GOPers are slavishly devoted precisely because of Trump's unique ability to sic his retards on dissenters.
That's a succinct explanation. Trump is Willard but instead of rats he has retards.

They don’t have to convict Trump. They just need to feel uncomfortable enough to not vote at all.
Brisket is right. The GOP will not do anything other than close ranks.
Justin Amash went all Ned Stark the other day and look at what happened to him. The President insulted him on Twitter right before his own caucus rebuked him, conservative media has labeled him a liberal RINO and he has been marked to be primaried.
An example is being made of Amash for the rest of the GOP Congress.

Buttigieg is impressively well spoken, even when improvising, and he doesn't have Beto's annoying mannerisms. He's hard not to like, even if you disagree with some of his politics.
Agreed, Pete is Central Market with Beto being somewhere between Hill Country Fare and a plain HEB brand.
Everytime Pete speaks, it's good and refreshing and I want more.
Everytime Beto speaks, uh, this kinda sorta tastes like Doritos but something is missing.

He only likes you if you are dumb and fall in line. Rick Perry was born for his cabinet.
Dude is a corp dork. He was trained to fall in line and not question the absurd.

As a state we need to really look into how that joke of an institution in college station is contributing to the public moral decay. As we all know, their entire world view is based on gross exaggerations or just flat out lies. That shit is really bad for our culture.

I would be surprised if it doesnt happen in 1-2 years. There are a ton of outdated control systems or even modern control systems managed by lazy or incompetent staff that are very vulnerable to phishing exploits. The ability to remotely log into your SCADA application to respond to system alarms is great for the plant engineer at home at 10 PM, but it also allows access to the system to others if the system isnt hardened, patched etc...
I'm actually shocked it hasn't happened already to be honest.
It's been happening for awhile now. It's not commonly known because the Feds get involved and NDA's are issued.

The comments are stellar.Pelosi won an award too.
It's a trade association award which is about as valuable as a participation ribbon.

That dude is a fucking loon! His views on rape are beyond bizarre and he really doesn't like accredited Universities or scientists. He does seem to like racism.
There will be more crazies that will come out of the shadows because of Pete. This is going to be entertaining to watch.

Trump is such a horrible negotiator he actually has no clue why Mexico won’t pay for his stupid ass wall.
I would love to play poker with that idiot. I’d be moving my mother in law into a trump tower penthouse right about now.
You think Trump would really honor a lost bet? Something tells me the man has welshed on every bet he has ever lost.

My mistake, did he get busted with weed while playing for Texas?
He only started smoking after injury while playing for the Saints. It may have saved his life, as the bullshit painkillers they were giving him were turning him into a zombie addict.

Either way, if a player wants to do recreational drugs, either do it where it's legal, or don't get caught like a dumbass.
Ricky did not start smoking pot in the NFL.
You said potheads should play in California. Yes, that is a terrible take. Especially when you consider how many talented athletes smoke pot. Even if it's illegal, I'd prefer it if people just looked the other way. Getting rid of talent because of pot is just dumb. That should have been obvious after Charlie's purges.

I guess China steals tech from everyone and the powers that be have decided that the aggression will no longer stand. I’m interested to see what Chinese retaliation will be. Their media/propaganda has been warning people more that there’s gonna be pain ahead.
I wouldn't be surprised if they started restricting direct market access to U.S. companies as retaliation. But even that will have a limited impact because they already engage in such protective practices compared to the U.S. Having liberal trade practices gives nations plenty of room to maneuver, our big trade deficit is our weapon. China's protectionist policies has them at a disadvantage.
There is irony at play here.

Trump's Trade War
in Cloak Room
Posted
It's just empty sabre rattling. China isn't in a position to dump a significant amount of U.S. treasuries.
