    I'm sure that farmer will take some of his bailout money and still pay his workers what they would have otherwise made picking the crops, right?

    So, Trump started a trade war with China which hurts farmers so he puts them on welfare with money we're borrowing from China. 

    Instead of profiting from ag trade with China, Trump has us paying interest to China while US farmers become dependent on the government because they're not selling product to China. In the meantime, China is finding new suppliers for their food.

    Do I have that right....?

    Theres a fair number of GOP voters that are single issue voters. Between abortion, guns rights, and ramming Christianity into our government, the GOP has a massive block of voters they know they cannot lose. In the minds of these simpleton voters, it simply doesnt matter how fucking corrupt the president is because he provides a path to the one issue they care about. Nothing else matters to these fucking retards. 

    Unless the democrats become pro-choice, pro Jesus, or pro guns, they would vote for Trump immediately after he shit in their mouths and told them it was cheesecake.

     

    They say they're single issue voters but they're not.  98% of these evangelicals would not vote for a pro-life, Southern Baptist Democrat.  They just think they're single issue because that makes it some morality play to them.

    Lindsey Graham is a shameless attention whore who has a history of adapting his politics to what he sees as the prevailing winds. He's probably dirty too but it's not necessary to explain his conversion to a Trumper. But there's shitloads of evidence that plenty of others in the GOP are dirty as hell and most of them aren't shameless attention whores.

    I think we all know what made Graham flip.  It's obvious.

    It's obvious he didn't write that except at the very end.

    Whoever wrote it is using words that appeal to the way average people think about rich people.  "Write offs, depreciation, etc."  They don't know the details but here some CPA talk and they think he's smart.  (Props to the Kramer reference in an earlier post.)

    Donald Trump is the epitome of how poor people think rich people act from his gaudy house to his wives that are all on the downside of their acting/porn careers to the way he throws around financial terms he doesn't understand.

    It's like the person setting our trade strategy knows nothing about business or economics.  I wonder what would happen if he actually ran a business?  Oh, wait.

  7. Midway through Dead to Me and two major thumbs up so far.  Well paced, well written, and a dark humor.  Much better in 30 minute episodes vs hour long ones.  Most of these Netflix series are just filler and need to be tightened up.  Not this one.

    It's funny. I'm having a Twitter debate with Rep. Mike Garcia on this very point.  He made that point exactly, that landlords will reduce rents because their property taxes go down. His tweet, my response, his response, my response etc... are here. As you can see, he resorted to misrepresenting my point:

     

     

    This is like when they said health insurance premiums would go down if tort reform passed.

  9. I'm certainly not in love with Biden but to think he loses to Trump is a huge stretch.  He'd easily win simply due to how well he plays in the industrial Midwest.  His entire platform seems to be to vote for him for a return to decency and normality.  That's not a terrible strategy.

    Bernie would be a fucking disaster.

    "Give the money to some gay converting Baptist college so they can build a gold plated statue of Jesus fucking a dinosaur."

    I thought it was a great episode. I thought the military tactics were bad and some of the inside scenes seemed out of context. But the general storytelling and pacing was excellent. The scene where the Dothraki charge off into the darkness is one of the best scenes in TV history. It was chilling and horrific. The final scene with Arya was amazing and surprising. I hate Bran. I am a little lost without the NK out there lurking. Winter came and went. It wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be. Now its time for Cersei. No way she can beat an army of 4  people and 2 dragons. I dont care how many XL crossbows she has. 

    This.  We were like "Wow.  Are they gone?"

    Why is it that no one mentions that gun ownership keeps tyrannical government in check?  That’s the primary purpose of the right to bear arms.  Madison was quite clear about this in Federalist #46.

    A well informed electorate keeps a tyrannical government in check.  How are we doing on that?
