Hum... Actually, Emperor Palpatine was the result of having people who wanted to be coddled and wrapped up in a security blanket. To quote Senator Amadala: “So this is how liberty dies: with thunderous applause.”

The Republicans want this:

I don’t want to help any republicans at the moment. Nor do I want to help any centrist or right wing democrats. Any time that one of them seems to be turning a corner they produce a smile and a thousand knives saying: “Well, I would compromise but I’ve got money and power behind me - I just wanted to watch you waste…

I get the feeling that Ben Shapiro would pay an obscene amount for AOC feet pics. 

It seems that Walker really went scorched earth on his way out.  He was always a ghoul, but once he saw the writing on the wall he just got blatant with it.

I’m sure the marketing team was grilled over how this happened.

I support throwing those politicians into jail for fraud and corruption.

Republicans were so desperate to back Trump they basically screwed the entire state and all the citizens over for this. 

God I hate Walker and the WEDC. Everyone who’s even vaguely familiar with Foxconn or manufacturing could have told you this wasn’t going to work out. As soon as the ink dried on the signatures, Foxconn started rolling back their promises, while the state continued to plow forward insisting everything was fine and…

All of the incentives, they’re not really tax credits, they’re cash payments,” Hintz said. “Not only do we not obtain the revenue, we pay the company.”

The cab drivers lost public support when they started using violence against the Uber/Cabify drivers and losing more every day this goes on.

He’s also afraid his lower-rung employees will start getting uppity ideas like running for office to actually make a difference. Also because he knows they’d be a) better politicians than he ever could be, b) know more about life than he ever will and c) won’t listen to him when he waves wads of cash in their faces…

What the hell is all of this for?

Classic self burn.

I recently heard Tanya on a podcast that had nothing to do directly with Twitch, and though she didn’t go into detail, it was so evident that some Twitch-related element of her life was really stressing her out, to the point of affecting her health. Now I know what it is.

If anyone on here thinks that this is about democracy, I’ve got yellowcake uranium in aluminum tubes that I’d like to sell you. This is about oil, because we haven’t fought a war for a full-half century that didn’t involve oil.

Precisely. Think of this as focus-grouping the idea past the American public to see if we’d be in outcry, and how many of the Trump loyalists would start masturbating.

Agreed, this was very much a strategic move on his part. That those were the only two things written on that pad, when a note card or a note on his phone would’ve done just as well, is telling. Besides do we really think he needed to write down those two things to remember them?

He seemingly did not know that the note was legible.
