Though there’s more than a year to go before the November 2020 presidential election, the stock market has already started to reflect the ramifications of Elizabeth Warren potentially capturing the White House.

So much money wasted funneled.

It’s pretty fucking easy once you’re a celebrity with fuckwads of money to forgive everyone because all of a sudden those things that are problematic for the average punter of a particular sexual orientation/ race etc go away . Your fame and power will pave the way 

I am both surprised and not surprised that since she has conservative friends, she would eventually use conservative rhetorical bullshit to defend herself. They fucking INVENTED applying the “tolerating different beliefs” principle to literally ANY belief, no matter how abhorrent, amoral, or despicable.

but I can at least kind of feel for the guy, to some extent.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: rich people have far more in common with each other - politics be damned - than with the rest of us.

It’s a bit of both for me. On the one hand, the buck stops there and fuck him for a million years in the deepest pit of Hell. On the other, he is clearly a complete moron and Cheney told him what to say and how to wipe his ass.

I dunno, I still think George W. was a patsy. He’s just kind of a dumb man, and he was put in a position to be taken advantage of by much smarter, genuinely evil people. I don’t really know how culpable that makes him to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the various associated war crimes, but I can at least kind of…

Yeah, I think the framing as “I can have friends that I don’t agree with” is disingenuous. She’s not being attacked for being pals with someone who has conservative beliefs, she’s being attacked for being pals with someone who committed war crimes, and who used his power to make life worse for LGBTQ people (I mean, he…

This is the answer, right here. Collection agencies are basically free to demand literally any amount of money they choose, and former felons are shooting at a moving target. Even if they write a check for the full amount, the agency can come back and demand fees, interest, and pretty much anything they want. You’re…

They know they’re on the wrong side of history and their grip on American politics is slipping.

Now, if the State of Florida is forced to make a clear public record how much each ex-con owes in fines, they’ll just pass a new law that all fines must be paid in cash...in Euros...at only one location in the state (which will be hard to determine)...in the basement of the building...behind a locked door that has a…

I mean...does the state not actually want to collect restitution from felons? How have they not fixed this a long time ago?

The militarized training. It comes not just with the gear, but the “Us vs. Them” mentality drilled into them by ex-military or mercenary consultants brought in for training. The beat becomes a war zone, and the goal of the officer to “survive the shift”. This shit permeates the whole of a department, regardless of the…

The problem with minding our own fucking business is that China and Russia would literally install puppet leaders from West of China to the Baltics and raid all resources between if we didn’t have an active presence.

Its better to never get involved. We never should have invaded Iraq under Dubya invaded Iraq. But once there, you can’t quit with no warning. That leaves a vacuum that someone will fill, and it will be bloody and brutal. 

You know, were it someone with a modicum of intelligence, I might almost believe he’s calling everything treason to water it down so when he gets charged with treason it sounds just as ridiculous.  But, no, this is the Republican President screaming, “I’m not crying, you’re crying” and throwing a tantrum.

Nobody likes a monument to failure, besides Confederacy apologists of course.  

Because once you ascend to the Executive Class you’re rewarded for success and not punished for failure because you were put in charge by other members of the Executive Class that want to be rewarded for success and not punished for failure.

Oh come on. At this point, displaying the confederate flag and then crying over people’s negative reactions is the equivalent of a German girl wearing a swastika belt buckle and being all: “I don’t understand the outrage! It’s an ancient Asian religious symbol I’m wearing! I don’t mean that! Gee, people really like…
