Not to mention Oliver has often made the point to Barry about researching and being prepared before a confrontation. We never see Oliver going through the books or casing the locations, but it is heavily indicated he has done so, particularly early on when he had many less allies to help.

Other than there are a whole bunch of people around here such as yourself that spend more time being an asshole than they do reading and comprehending? I guess not.

I never said it was an investment. Damn reading comprehension is at an all time low around here these days. I said “approach it like investing”. In other words, as a potential risk of loss.

It is the same logic racists use to deride people, but absolve immediate company because “you are one of the good ones”. They think it makes them sound smart, or as a defense when they stick their foot in their mouth, but in reality it shows they lack morals and a spine.

Precisely. You get it.

People just need to approach it like investing, not as early access/insider type stuff. Do your homework and take your risks.

You are assuming he had no other conversations with her during their last meet up or that he did no research whatsoever on this incredibly powerful person from another Earth he just met.

It is not quite as easy as calling people “bad parents”. You leave out how ingrained the Internet is in our culture these days. We manage our kid’s Internet access, get history, all kinds of things at home. But we don’t keep our kids locked up at home.

Exactly. That was some heavily edited bullshit. The mistake the ACORN workers made was thinking it was a joke and playing along.

Well yeah, that is exactly my point. The way to improve business consistently is for consumers to have more money. But for that to happen you either have to convince rich people that the accumulation of vast wealth isn’t in the best interest of the country, or convince Congress to pass legislation to appropriately tax…

I never made that point, I just pointed out that our economy is all connected, which is what you disputed by saying it cannot affect anyone outside of the entertainment industry. You are inserting more meaning into it than is implied. There are easier ways to piss yourself off.

It’s not the “keystone”, I NEVER said that. You are erecting a bullshit strawman. I said all of our economy is connected, which it is. That is vastly different from what you are pretending I said.

Every industry is related. People spend money on things other than their own industry, our entire economy is built upon money changing hands, which is why accumulation of wealth at the top is so harmful.

If you pay to watch a movie, the theater needs to have employees there to sell you a ticket and run the movie, they…

That’s what Trump is, a method to piss off liberals. They are pissed that we had a black man in the White House pissing them off for eight years, as long as Trump pisses us off they don’t care what else he does to the country. How patriotic, huh?

They don’t care, they would just edit in a “Yes” from some other part of the conversation. WaPo *had* to report this story right away, O’Keefe was probably already editing the video. They never get actual “gotchas”, they just edit them that way.

I’m surprised more people don’t punk them, they seem to be pretty fucking stupid. Turn the tables!

It only has to work once, that’s the problem. Because then they run that shit up the flagpole. Like they did with ACORN, and that Steinle girl. They just need one example and they will turn it into a gigantic story that all the dumbfuck right wingers will copy and paste to each other.

Once upon a time I said I thought it would be interesting for all the conservative nutjobs to get what they want, just for a year where they have President Cruz or some shit and the other levers of power. That would teach them a lesson as to why we don’t do things that way.

Mulvaney is absolutely the last person you want in charge of an agency with the goal of protecting consumers. His home builder company has a loooong history of taking advantage of people and subprime mortgages to line his own pockets. That guy cares about nothing more than unfettered access to collecting more money…

Makes me think of Drax’s description of his late wife listening to music.
