That reminds me: I wish I could flag comments for being “white nonsense”

Absolutely. As I replied to the f*ck I gave went that way: no matter what angle you look at them, Walmart is a terrible company.

The cynic (and person who knows fuck-all about investing) in me thinks that the best investing strategy is to buy stock in (effective) monopolies, because they only seem to be getting bigger. Walmart? Amazon? Intel? Facebook? Google? AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, and every other telecom/ISP/media conglomeration? …

I second MrDioneo’s opinion: “Sarcasm is very difficult to convey through text.” If there’s one thing we’ve learned today, it’s that there are a lot of people on the internet (and of course in society) who genuinely believe a lot of insane and backwards shit.

NERD!!!

They absolutely are, of course.

I’m with you there. I haven’t specifically been following all the allegations against Franken so I honestly don’t know how bad they are, but I still consider him one of the “good guys” as far as a legislator (and, hell, as a comedian)

I get that, I guesss, but I’m beyond giving a shit, I’m beyond “when they go low, we go high.” Nazis have no place in society, and we need to make them feel as unwelcome and threatened as possible. Fascism is (among other things) a philosophy - a way of thinking - and one that explicitly calls for purging society of…

Absolutely. From every side you look at them, Walmart is fucking terrible.

I would prefer he follow Lincoln’s example and end his presidency early. Resign, get impeached, get assassinated - hey, it’s all good :)

Oh my god, our EDP (Ego Domestic Product) would skyrocket...

I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD, I JUST LIKE SHOUTING ON THE INTERNET! ACTUALLY WAIT, THERE IS SOMETHING I WANT TO ADD! THE GRAVEST INJUSTICE THAT AMERICANS FACE TODAY IS PREJUDICE AGAINST THOSE WHO USE THE CAPS LOCK KEY! I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL CAPS LOCK DAY TO EXPRESS MY TRUE SELF!

I live within 10 minutes of this fucknut’s bar, and... it’s not enough to just avoid the place if you don’t support it. I mean, I’ve never shopped at Hot Topic, but that’s not any kind of meaningful protest. People need to be picketing outside (probably including me)...

Here’s a good one:

Jesus Fucking Christ... it’s almost worse that it’s news from Illinois, not Alabama... but really it’s fucking awful no matter where it happened/happens.

I actually kinda love that idea. (and here’s where i offer the usual disclaimer that I’m one of those white people.)

Yeah, this is a completely bonehead move. I can only imagine someone at a meeting said “we need to start thinking outside the box,” someone else suggested this, and then they all got behind it because they were hungry and/or bored and eager to leave.

You know there’s no way in hell that would work. (In fact I’m pretty sure you’re joking, although it’s impossible to be sure on the internet in this day and age.) And I say this as Minnesotan, one of his constituents who thought he was doing an ok/pretty good job until we all found out he apparently has a bit of a…

Absolutely no need to apologize - in case you hadn’t noticed, that’s exactly what this space is for: it’s a community where people are welcome - and even encouraged - to rant, and listen to other people rant, and remind themselves that they’re not alone and not crazy. Not that certain kinds of crazy aren’t also…

It’s actually worse than that; especially living in a major city, welfare isn’t even enough to pay rent on a shitty apartment in a rundown neighborhood, let alone things like gas for your car, or new shoes, etc.
