Waiting for the day when I never see an image of this rainbow snow cone tattooed rapist clown face again, the filthy piece of shit. All the punches forever.

Technically that’s not correct. The roll protection in an F1 car ensures that won’t happen unless the car dug into a sand trap. 

It really bothers me that something can be considered “too big to fail” yet no one thinks to maybe do something about it. If some company is so big that’s it’s failure would seriously wreck the economy maybe we should force that company to break up until it’s no longer too big to fail.

GM never should have gotten bailed out. No private company should get bailed out. If they actually had to face the risks, they would have run their company better. But the fact that they were labeled as “too big to fail” for years gave them far too much leeway to let their company go sideways. There would have been

I recall being very disappointed in that decision. Perhaps the only controversial case ever where I sided with Scalia and Thomas.

Kelo v. City of New London. SCOTUS ruled 5-4 that eminent domain can justify taking land from one private party (e.g. homeowners) to transfer to another private party (e.g. commercial developers who want to build a mall) because of the taxation and other benefits the community would have.

That was OLD GM. The bailout gave them a conscience. NEW GM would never screw people like that again. 

Look on the bright side, area residents will get to look at a vacant and padlocked assembly plant for a few years, until it gets torn down and converted to empty brownfield for several more years (after a couple of nuisance fires started by vagrants and vandals, and after the metal air handling equipment gradually

The trend towards using eminent domain to facilitate private initiatives is quite troubling. I can understand airports, but factories or hotels?

They’re closing 4 American plants too, you disingenuous twit.

Well that Escaladed quickly

Hopefully the person who produced the ad with people standing next to a Cascada holding surf boards thinking it was their friend’s car does get shit canned. Come on how did they get to the beach in the first place? They rode in the Enclave to the beach because their friend’s parents didn’t pony up for an Escalade. 

Promises kept!

Don’t worry the marketing people who came up with the “Is that a Buick?” and “No the other Buick.” will continue to receive their salaries.  

Please enlighten us as to the parts of these totalitarian dictatorships we should be admiring and emulating.

No, China just goes straight goes ahead and rounds up ethnic, religious, and political minorities into concentration camps. This is for the people who don’t fall into those categories. 

How many millions of Americans are unable to get a loan to buy a house or a car or are unable to get a decent job because their credit rating was destroyed by overwhelming medical expenses?

This is “China-is-bad” western journalism at its finest. I know and work with people based in China and this is a non-issue for them. I understand our country’s need for a bogeyman but this is getting ridiculous.

In Portland, Oregon [...] Prosecutors decided against charging Warren, a black man, with a crime.

Dude’s going to meet his maker with “fucking nigger” on his lips.
