I don’t know how seriously to take pronouncements from Peggy Noonan. How many people give a shit what she has to say? How many people actually take her seriously? Maybe more of us should take her seriously, even if she’s full of shit, I don’t know. The way language gets warped by these ghouls: somehow the trans…
TBF, what other value besides entertainment could Trump provide?
I followed some of the Mueller Hearing today, and... I’m really not sure what’s going to come of it. I don’t know if an angry Trump is good or bad. I’m still surprised “we” are not at DEFCON 666 with Syria, or some other country he’s only vaguely familiar with. The cynic in me believes today was mostly a…
She may be more crazy than stupid, although she could be a lot of both
Oh man... let’s share stories! I don’t have any great ones that aren’t made-up or second-hand, but... I think my best one might have been working for the shady painter whose “office” was a relatives’ house or something, would basically hire anyone who claimed to have experience, was hardly ever on-site, and... I guess…
President ManBaby may have accidentally stumbled into a “good” outcome in this recent negotiation with Mexico. [I say *may* because with these things, the devil’s in the details. And when I say “good,” I mean he may have achieved a lot of what he wanted to accomplish; I don’t mean “good” in the sense that what he’s…
Pretty much, yeah. Dunno anything about his “Charitable Organization,” but I’ll bet it stinks even worse than the Bill and Melinda Gates Whatever.
as i replied to someone else:
yeah, i expect that happens all the time. i’m often annoyed and suspicious of new charities; it’s good to do some research into how much of your money goes to help people (or animals or whatever) in need, and how much goes to just paying peoples’ salaries, especially if those salaries are fatcats’ at the top of the…
as they say: “The Devil’s in the details”
How many billionaires - or even millionaires - are even keeping these vows? Lots of promises, but unless they’re legally binding, they’re pretty empty, right? And yeah, even if they did keep these vows, that wouldn’t automatically change tax laws.
yeah, who knows? i’m rooting for sanders and/or warren, but i may end up voting for a clump of peat. i know this is another ball of wax, but i’ve voted third party before, and i may do it again. really depends a lot on how everyone’s polling. in my state. in the meantime, i’m pushing for the best candidate that can…
not so much ;)
Beto as a person seems fine, I guess... but when I vote, I try not to vote for the personality so much as the policies and agenda I’d expect from a candidate. Gawd, the average American is so fucking shitty when it comes to picking a leader. Why should we care what kind of music they listen to - or play - or whether…
game of thrones? Is that anything like musical chairs? and they even made a tv show out of it, is that right? huh. what a strange time to be alive...
Why is it so goddamn hard for elected Democrats by and large to LEAD? For fucksakes, every major poll shows progressive policies are overwhelmingly popular with a majority of Americans.
I’m glad we’re all in agreement on this - even the author of the article you’re commenting on:
fair enough
I don’t really follow NY politics at all (at least not to any meaningful extent), but from what little I’ve heard, the only rational reason to back a Republican against AOC in the next race for her seat would be *outside* the seat itself. Unless there are some massive changes to the district, no one with an R next to…
Nitpicking, I know, but median would probably be more persuasive (and would still highlight how few of the jobs would pay a decent wage); for better or worse, no one seems to mention or pay much attention to the mode.
