somehow we all become smart enough to effectively distribute goods and services without it needing to be organized or without the need for price signalling.

What “point” is this blog post, or my comment, beside? Seems perfectly on point to me. Over and over in the media we’re getting the message that Drumpf shouldn’t be making deals with or trusting such a bloodthirsty monster as Kim - did you hear the poor North Korean people are starving, and have no Freedom of Speech™…

Fuck each and every single apologist for the long and frequent pattern of US playing nice with brutal dictators and other ugly war criminals.

This is probably not that complicated, but it feels to me like a bill fucked a double negative and gave birth to whatever this is.

I think it also begs the question (I know I’m using the phrase wrong, sorry): what are “establishment” Dems even winning when there’s so little difference between them and Republicans (on certain economic issues at least)? They’re often winning office, sure, but what part of their legislative agenda is getting pushed…

Some of the “establishment” Dems are winning primaries, some aren’t. And I think Paul Blest made a great case yesterday for the fact that 1) even if they don’t win, “progressive” (as opposed to “establishment”) Dems have been successful in “dragging” establishment Dems left, which means 2) a lot of candidates…

I’m also not crazy about the government having a hand in deciding who gets what treatment, when, and where...

he did have a chubby for fascism

I don’t have any strong opinion on whether or not Dali was a fascist, but “the evidence” seems less than conclusive:

Sure, those are all factors. I just gotta believe that selling your soul to the devil comes with some pretty nice benefits - in this life at least. Or maybe she didn’t have any soul to sell before she took the job, in which case why would she take the job unless it came with said benefits? Does she just get off on…

You may be right. Despite everyone I know considering me a cynic, maybe I’m actually naive on this particular point. After all, Orange Spice did come awfully close to winning MN.

Nah:

this state is far too white to elect him governor or senator...

Maybe it’s because they see their reflection and think it’s another peacock. Or maybe it’s because property is theft.

And I’m sure she’s getting a lot more out of it than $165K a year - there’s all the favors and the cushy lifestyle courtesy of lobbyists, making lotsa (greasy) connections, the inevitable book deal... and most of the time she lies so effortlessly, like she’s just flicking a speck of dust off her sleeve.

Well then I can save them even more! Drinks are on me! And of course by that I mean my sleeveless Hawaiian shirt is saturated with Keystone Light, appletinis and Czech absinth.

Sure, but in my case I have “been there; done that” - keep your eyes peeled, the story’s bound to come out any day now. And in case you’re wondering, no, I am not Florida Man.

I can neither confirm nor deny my participation in that particular performance.

Before you judge, ask yourself: who among us has not been in this exact same situation before???
