I’ve never read it either (probably shouldn’t admit that) but I really should one of these days.
If laissez-faire capitalism is some magical, mystical place where the government has no involvement in the economy, then a) the United States from its inception was not laissez-faire, and b) no other country in human history ever has been, either.
yeah, that’s not clear to me either. my impression was that we’re not buying any oil from Iran due to sanctions (same as your impression?), but based on what i read i’m still not 100% certain.
Probably shouldn’t surprise me, but apparently the Burnt Ketchup Steak Administration even sucks at accepting bribes.
...I suspect that Iran and the U.S. still don’t do a lot of business together...
...you do need to be enrolled in an income-based plan to qualify for PSLF
nothing could possibly be worse than this
Hey SCREW YOU MAN! Usually Bat Boy is positively radiant - the paparazzi just caught him at a vulnerable moment, that’s all.
I... don’t really know how to take this, so I guess I’ll take it more or less at face value.
damn you guys, get a room!
yeah, that becomes clearer and clearer every day
From a legal standpoint, maybe, but on a PR level I still think he shit the bed. For starters, you don’t ever refer to a client as “funneling” money to anyone for any reason whatsoever; you pick a less sinister term for the same act.
So you think it’s intentional? Would be an interesting divergence from the usual pattern, which has been his lackeys kissing his ass in public and calling him an idiot in private.
Ok but if he truly were a house plant, he wouldn’t have to worry about choking on his goddamn foot!
Totally. And that may have been what Giuliani was shooting for, but I think he even fucked that up. You never announce that your client is “funneling” money to anyone, for any reason. Ever. Just abysmal optics.
eh, i’ve talked to a few other liberals (using broad definition here) who also thought he was decent, but he always struck me as a fascist ghoul ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think that would be the smart move for them, but even so, I think they’re doing a shitty job at it. Trump’s tweets are a pretty direct defense (based on lies) for him, but Giuliani... didn’t drop the ball so much as he caught it and ran the wrong direction with it (got that from someone else’s tweet). Likewise, none…
Maybe he was; I’m not as familiar with him as, say, New Yorkers are.
Yup. On a very basic level, they just want more attention on Clinton, and less on Trump. It almost doesn’t matter what she says, just that she stays fresh in voters’ minds.
