His boot? I’d wager cofn42 is tongue-punching Kotick’s asshole.

Corporations used to be able to make money and not do everything they could to inflate their stock prices. Hell, they used to actually roll profits back into the company and the employees.

No, the fault with shareholders is they demand ever more money out of companies each year, instead of viability of the company itself. And CEO’s like Kotick are more than happy to do so. These people running the companies only care about how they can inflate the stock price, not how can they position the company to…

Seriously?  Kotick is yet another in a long line of vampire CEO’s.  He’ll drain Blizzard of every bit of worth and then throw them on the trash heap.  All he cares about is whatever money he can drain out of a name or product.

The problem, it seems with many Splinter writers, if their belief that both the Republicans and the Democrats are just two sides of the same coin.  So it’s easier to give them shit for doing nothing or giving in to Trump than to actually read about what they are proposing compared to what Trump is demanding.

You don’t need to be an agent to be an asset. So long as someone is willing to do things that weaken the US and strengthen Russia, they’ll use you.

Look at the fascist, everyone. Look at them and laugh in their fetid fucking face.

Truthfully, I have to wonder if he and his grifting family have found a way to funnel some of that money into Trump, Inc.  Otherwise, it would explain why very little of it has actually been spent (in that, he can’t personally benefit from it).

We need to stop spending so much government money on entitlement programs and invest more in our transportation and information infrastructure.

Thank you for your intelligent comments (that is, completely without evidence or facts). I mean, you’re basically making arguments that some guy who you heard talk told you everything is rosy and nothing bad is going to happen, without identifying the person in question any exactly why they don’t see anything bad…

Republicans only care that troops go to fight (and hopefully die).  They hate the idea that money has to be spent to put our troops back together should they survive combat operations, as it should be used for important things.  Like shoveling it to the producers of war materiel and the Pentagon.

Trump (and I’m sure the Republicans as well) don’t give a shit that these men & women might be endangered by what Trump did.  In their minds, they see soldiers as nothing more than pieces on a large board, and have no problems if they don’t come back (since then they don’t have to shell out money to put them back…

Sadly, I saw this coming a mile away. I commented to friends after it passed that “Watch as the state legislature decides that the people of the state are basically children, and they disregard the results completely.” And now this story comes out.

This is the generation that has never known an America that faced a serious threat, foreign or domestic. It’s the generation for whom history had already ended before they’d become adults, all the battles that needed to be fought had been fought. Which means that their only real obligation in their life has just…

Amazing how things never change as far as the Trump party (formerly known as the Republicans). They send in a bunch of staffers in 2000 to demand that recounts stop, and 18 years later, they go out of their way to continue to do the same old, same old.

I’d agree with you on that since the Costco that we go go regularly has things like baking goods, spices, cooking oil and other canned and boxed food items in the same place, and the spot they’re in hasn’t changed since the store opened almost 3 years ago.

Big ticket items do definitely move around a lot, but usually…

I read a lot of what Plait writes, and he would come right out and call you a dick. Seriously, stop or STFU and go back to your dacha.

The words you’re looking for are stochastic terrorism.

I was just reading the other day that one of the reasons why Trump is putting it out there that illegal things are being done in our elections (and blatantly blaming the Democrats), is so that they can state that they disregard the elections that Democrats win as unlawful.

I’d like to believe that, I really would. But I believe that if it gets to that point, Trump and crew will be disregarding the Posse Comitatus and sending the military in to police areas.
