The Great Society programs were a) eviscerated by Reagan and Clinton, and b) not responsible for throwing tens of millions of Black people into prison. The War on Drugs however, was.

...a road trip with Eric and Pam.

Like I said, plenty of polling on their demographics and beliefs.

The house GOP's farm bill, which got votes from nearly the entire tea party caucus and was oppose by house Dems, increased AG subsidy spending.

I've lived in Montana nearly my entire life. I'm a hell of a lot more familiar with the far right and it's history than you are.

There's plenty of polling on who they are and what they believe. Not sure why anyone wouldn't accept that. Well, unless they were a Tea Partier, who don't trust scientists, math, or polling. Ya know, because "elitists".

That's BS of course. They're old, rural white people. They want us to keep spending money on social security, medicare, agricultural subsidies, and of course the military. Basically the stuff that helps them, and which makes up the bulk of federal spending.

The right spends 50 years in a racist scheme to destroy Black people and the left, while we work our asses off to impede their efforts, and now we have to thank them for a handful of crossover votes from the worst of the worst Neo-Confederate assholes like Rand Paul?

They might not have looked like Miles Davis, but they were a hell of a lot blacker than Sigourney Weaver and Christian Bale.

They didn't "decline", they said there was nothing in their laws that let them set up some sort of deal like that. Moreover, he made that request TWO YEARS after leaving Sweden and refusing to come back. It was, and is, a PR move.

His lawyers said it during the extradition hearing, and argued that that conduct wasn't illegal under British law and so he shouldn't be turned over to the Swedes. Moreover that's been the line of a great many of his public supporters.

He can't be formally charged in Sweden unless he's there. Which is why he's hiding out.

Yes. Raped two women, admitted to it in court, said it wasn't real rape, and that the CIA set him up, choosing to entrap him in a honeypot in Sweden because "radical feminists" had redefined the rape laws there to cover the totally not rapes he did (he says it was 'just' sex with a sleeping woman and refusing to stop…

More like, support for medical marijuana and legalization are now majority positions, state after state is approving medical marijuana, and we just had two states join a whole host of localities in fully legalizing recreational marijuana. Basically, legalization is inevitable, and even Republican politicians are…

Yeah. All the articles/books cited there are by Libertarian economists, not historians. I'm shocked that they would get the actual history wrong. Just shocked.

Yep. I quite watching it because of this. Anti-heroes are one thing, but this show was just so cynical and gross I couldn't deal.

Several states have tried mandating drug testing for welfare recipients. It ended up costing, not saving money. You see, in the real world (not your racist, right wing, douchebag world), the number of welfare recipients who use drugs is quite small, and the amount of money the states spent drug testing everyone far…

At least he's not in Blackface.

Aesop Rock at the top, Rakim in the middle. Clearly meaningless list.

That's not what vindication means.
