Money is not the enemy. The worship of mass quantities of money, and the people who have it, is the issue. The lack thereof is a bigger problem.

This is the exact thing I needed to read after my coworker spent the last five minutes gushing about Scaramucci’s current face-saving cable news tour.

The thing is that since we are all relativists if the rich all had less but still w/in proportion to their perceived peers they wont be any more or less unhappy.

You covered the rich GOP and rich Dems as well.

“IT’S NOT WELFARE! THEY’RE ‘SUBSIDIES’ GODDAMN IT!”

It’s brilliant, they win with their audience either way. Either the economy doesn’t crash and it was just another lib conspiracy that they heroically foiled; or the economy crashes and it’s all the lib media’s fault. Either way, re-electing Trump is the only way.

I'lldefend Google+ until I die. It was fantastic, it just didn’t have anyone using it. Which is frankly a feature

If you aren’t familiar with Chicago, ignore your Waze or Google Maps instructions to take Lower Wacker anywhere. You will lose your GPS signal, and it’s dark and disorienting down there. Just stay on Upper Wacker and your directions will be revised.

I’m not sure that first bit is really true.

American Evangelical Christianity has learned to twist itself like a balloon animal to not actually challenge its adherents to become better people; instead it focuses on superficial matters (sexual purity, not using swear words) and requires only that people be “saved”. And the entire abortion crusade took off…

Because Christianity is about maintaining the status quo, not the teachings of Christ.

I’ve even heard from some delusional evangelicals if they have to rub shoulders with the evilness of tRump & Co. as a way to achieve that goal. The ends justifies the means.

add “sovereign citizen” and “virtue signaling” to that list. 

When I hear anyone talk about “Antifa” I know I am dealing with a) an idiot, b) a disingenuous liar, or c) both.

Right. So Doug Jones, a moderate white guy, wins a Senate race in Alabama as the establishment’s choice and he’s celebrated IN THIS COLUMN as proof of who the Democrats should run, and Roy Cooper, not a progressive by most any measure, wins in a red year in North Carolina — but because you are programmed to believe…

Also, this is not true. Caloric surplus is why people become overweight. Yes, eating only oreos is bad because they lack vitamins. But if you eat nothing but fruit, vegetables and unprocessed grains, and your eat 2X your daily caloric needs, you too will become obese. It’s science. You can’t argue with science.

If it is promoting “dieting” in the sense of “I need to eat less for a while to lose this extra weight” than that is bad mostly because pretty much every study ever done has failed to show that approach works well, that regardless of which “diet” a person picks they tend to lose the same amount of weight, and is…

First off, his drivers license says 6'3, at 6'3 and 240, you qualify as obese, So I call bs on those numbers. Second, I’m, just shy of 6'4 (like closer to 6'4 than 6'3.5)  Last time I weighed myself I was 226, last year I got up to 234.  No way in fucking hell does Trump only weigh 239.  Ive seen photos of him in a…

“He mentioned me! He pointed me out from the stage! It was such an honor!”
