Yeah, bull fucking shit. The “us vs them” started with the inhumane corporate abuses of the industrial revolution and unions were created to give workers an ability to stand up for themselves.

To be fair, they didn’t create the “Us vs Them” mentality. They were created from it. It is still there, and probably won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. With or without unions. 

This is absolutely terrible tax and accounting advice. Schipwreck has a tenuous at best grasp of: what is and isn’t eligible to be an employment or self-employment related deduction, the difference between a deduction and a credit, ATL versus BTL, taking the SD versus itemizing, FICA/SE consequences, the timing and…

Frankly, I disagree with the column’s core argument over why journalists should burn their sources on Donald Trump. Doing this will almost singlehandedly destroy American journalism as the institution it is. It reinforces the alt-right’s narrative that mainstream journalism is corrupt, unethical and manipulative and…

No, it doesn’t protect you from money-driven entities.

When I was 18, I thought I might be libertarian. I talked with some libertarians, and within 30 minutes I heard

Libertarianism is the ideology of mental children who drive to work on government-provided roads, who eat food and water the government has mandated not contain human thumbs, who get their latest toys through government-provided postal services, who learned everything they knew in government-mandated schools, and…

Point to something that contradicts this please.

100% yes. This strawman “the idea that big government can solve all problems” is straight Reagan bedrock dogma bullshit. They won that fight before the last Clinton even took office. They’ve spent the last 25 years trying to break whatever is left so they can fully convince everyone that government doesn’t work. No…

I listened to excerpts from their convention and yeah, they were pretty much anarchists. Johnson was far and away the most moderate.

Point to a single thing I wrote that is at all even a little wrong.

“I don’t see why minorities would have issues with their policies, per se.”

don’t forget pretending we live in some context free vacuum where nobody is racist until they try to point out racism, thinking private citizens holding vast amounts capital and power over the lives of others is harmless free expression (it’s only really power and censorship if government does it) and continuing to…

I forgot. It was definitely economic pressures and the shame of practicing racial bigots that desegregated the south.

You have an important senate race you should probably vote in.

YES YOU HAVE TO VOTE THERE ARE OTHER RACES THAN JUST THE PRESIDENCY [breathes into paper bag while pacing around the room for the next 6 weeks]

CNN is a cable news black hole you could lose a plane in.

i do not understand why people cannot accept that athletes who have been working their entire lives for this one opportunity aren’t going to let it go. it is so fucking ignorant

Recent polls have shown that out of the top contenders for the Dem VP spot—including New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro, and Virginia Senator Thomas Kaine—Warren is the only potential candidate slated to induce some much-…

Warren has said over and over that she DOES NOT WANT the position of VPOTUS. Emphatically and categorically said that she doesn’t want it. Why can’t we listen? Look, I love her too but there is no need for the media to continue to paint this as some kind of suspense thriller. She’s not interested in the job.
