Hartford, Connecticut taking its rightful place as the cultural capital

Nope.

Yeah, cuz everyone in this society sure does get to shop in the same place as anyone else

You clearly don’t know what allusions are, or what they are used for, and lazily reach for the Putin ... Proud of yourself? Because everyone, and I do mean *everyone* called what they did alluding to Putin - but since it was so effing a direct reference that it was barely an allusion at all.

“Learn to think,” suck burn. No, i was referring to your bizarre claim that the Putin allusion didn’t count, because subtext is for nerds, or whatever. Thanks for not looking that word up before using it in your reply, btw, this has been hilarious. Can’t beat a pretentious moron. There are other people on here…

“Thinking that it can’t ever happen just because we’re the biggest economy in the world...”

Analogues count, but allusions don’t? Some writer you are.

Ugh that was inspired

They’re not accidental

Sure, but remember this is Star Trek, and their circumstances are more Age of Exploration than 20th Century- the admiralty have literally no idea where they’re sending these guys most of the time.

That feels like a stretch. They were pretty clear that he brought consequences on himself, up to and including a damn lobotomy. The rest of the crew was acting entirely selfishly by helping him out, and get explicitly called out for it. Their methods them compared to Vladimir fucking Putin, that’s hardly praise.

You should watch this show called “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” it pulls that shit constantly. I know it’s a stretch, but I actually think it’s where McFarlane got a lot of the inspiration for this show from! Crazy, right? I wonder if there’s a word for, like, a kind of mocking homage like that

We can’t end up like Greece because we print our own money. Sovereign debt is a legal fiction; it’s real, but the idea that it can ever be a problem or beyond our control is a straight-up scam. The ECB pulled a long con on the Greeks. They Federal Reserve simply does not have (and could never develop) the authority to…

Forever? Why not just have the death penalty for parking violations of the goal is to resolve criminals from society? You’re dumb.

Well, not according to the people who wrote it. They were pretty clear that whay they were doing was giving the Federal Government the right to raise an army in the name of the people of the United States, not of the several states themselves.

I live down the block from one. The neighborhood’s been a lot safer since it opened and flooded the place with guys who don’t smoke, don’t drink, and really, really don’t want to be associated with any illegal bullshit. You’re full of shit.

Why, because they might have been made by a guy who showed better firearms discipline than most trained LEOs?

That’s not even what the article you linked says

 Well, it’s something they used to say openly in the 30's, so it’s back in play in 2017. That’s where we’re at.

Yeah, re: Bernie wrote an article that says women enjoy rape. It DOES say that- as an example of the kind of misogynistic messages you’ll see in the mass media. Claiming the article said that was a good thing is an example of the Clinton camp pissing away the DNC’s credibility out of pettiness and spite.
