The proper subject should not be Donald Trump, but rather the fact that a majority of Republicans are supporting bogotry and Fascism. If they didn’t have Trump to worship, they’d simply invent him. That’s the real issue here: A substantial, very vocal minority of voters have openly embraced Fascism.

If a bunch of smokers who are perfectly willing to give themselves cancer want to congregate and give each other cancer as well, who am I to tell them not to? It’s not like other people are going to be forced to participate.

What I want to see from the robot car crowd is support for basic income to replace all the jobs that robots will take. And that’s not just robot cars. The .001% will replace every worker they can with machines, and then hoard all the income from those machines if we let them.

Pizza Hut? Seriously? That’s like partnering with Taco Bell to study Mexican food. Is this a satire article?

If you ask a gun nut why he needs a gun, the answer is usually some variation on the theme of “I needs muh guns so the gubmint can’t come and take away muh gunz!”.

Now you’re doing the same thing by claiming “the left wants to ban guns” when in fact the vast majority of Americans favor tougher background checks and closing gun show and private sale loopholes that let criminals and the mentally ill legally avoid undergoing background checks.

No, Jenner got away with it for the same reason every other rich fucker does: Money.

Finally I get Friendzone somebody else for a change! I can’t wait to call him up to complain about the guy we do elect! And keep him on the hook so I can get him to buy me meals and do me favors!

So you admit that you’re just straight up being a dick. In front of everybody.

300 million Americans are all going bankrupt? All at once?

So, I’m eating leftover spaghetti, drinking Narragansett, and....

So, no more bankruptcy? Don’t tell me. Try telling it to Donald Trump.

Oh, so now creating jobs is “impossible”.

Oh, so because a few people were dumb enough to buy into the credit culture that the banks worked so hard to sell, no one should be bailed out except for the billionaires who crashed the economy?

Breaking up the big banks would create more jobs, and make them more competitive, which would benefit consumers.

A lot of those “deadbeats” you so sneeringly refer to are honest folks who paid all their bills in full and on time until their jobs were shipped overseas or lost to the recession caused by Wall St. leeches who never personally suffered even the tiniest jot of the misery they caused. But keep digging.

Um, no. Consumers who get foreclosed lose their homes and all their equity. Consumers who go bankrupt lose their credit and ability to borrow. How were these rules applied to the banks that got bailed out? The banks were given trillions of taxpayer dollars, and yet we had a recession that saw millions of workers lose

I wonder what would have happened if we voting taxpayers had chosen politicians who thought it better to bail out consumers instead of criminally predatory bankers?
