Cody’s news showdie for the win!  It’s on of my favorite youtube thingies!  Keep circulating the tapes (links sorry old MST3K habits die hard)

The sad part is that selling this type of politics is so so easy. It’s easiky digestible, simple, and requires zero soul searching or sacrifice. Actual political change is hard and boring and requires caring about something beside yourself. It’s like trying to sell broccoli, which is healthy and not fun and what you…

He's the ur-character that Fred Willard is always parodying 

Have a chat with the Scandinavian countries and get back to us.

I certainly hope you are opting out of those Socialist plots, Social Security and Medicare.

And now imagine what these people are going to be like when Trump’s back is against the wall and he starts giving commands that they need to protect their president at all costs.

Spot on. Add in a crowd of apathetic people twiddling their thumbs along to, “I’m not really into politics, it just doesn’t interest or effect me.” 

Trump is every bad trait that a manager can have. Vain, petty, stupid. Takes all the credit, passes on all the blame. Wants his way, even if everyone else says it’s a bad idea.

Why would she go to a HBCU and then do this?

Saying she wished she could have been the MAGAbomber, in the current climate? Sorry, that’s the definition of a threat. You don’t talk like that after the week this country has had. If someone from my work shared an article about Tree of Life and said “why didn’t I think of that?” I wouldn’t go back to that job until t…

My best guess is she realized she won’t make it as a lawyer and is trying to make a name for herself for a potential career in far right media.

These questions and more should be asked of Morgan Kendall—the white woman in question. Kendall is a 3rd-year law student at North Carolina Central University, one of our nation’s HBCUs. WRAL reports that her fellow students are asking that she be expelled from the school after some questionable and racist comments…

I worked at one of the largest investment banks up until 2012 and Trump was a punchline. He had defaulted on so many loans that there was not a bank in NY that would even take a meeting with him. Its amazing to me that some of those same people that refused to lend to him then voted for him just for tax cuts, et al. …

They love Trump’s policies, but LOL at the idea of ever giving him money again and he knows this. They might pay lip service, but Trump’s credit rating is so bad that it likely played a major part in him and his family jumping into bed with the Russians.

the reality of finance depend on the idea that the richly-paid people who make all the strategic buying and selling and investing decisions are very smart, and that they are uniquely positioned to deploy capital wisely because they have superior access to facts about the world, which they presumably use to analyze the…

Supporting Trump means backing a man who does not in any way subscribe to the existence of objective, verifiable reality. How does that work in the world of finance, exactly?

It’s been remarkably eye-opening to me (a total economic naif) to realize how purely emotional Wall Street is, despite their heavy emphasis on data! and facts! and other manly factors! — it was clear when the markets held back under Obama with the explanation that “business needs to be able to rely on the future and…

Here’s a thought, Wall Street People are psychopathic assholes who are actually Ferengis in human costumes.

Wall Street types are just salesmen. The “best” salesman will lie, cheat, steal and run over their own mother for a buck.
