Some of them appear to think of that as being their job. I’ve encountered US Customs agents who were apparently convinced the whole world wants to live in the US. I’ve encountered Canadian Customs trainees who were positively gleeful about the notion of searching through people’s stuff. There’s a certain kind of…

He’s not going home, as far as I can tell... he’s going to work. It’s a similar frustration, of course, but you still don’t drive a truck into people, unless you’re aim is to be fired and get jail time. Be easier to quit.

The US has weird bugaboos about nations where the population rejected their chosen puppet. Iran and Cuba both toppled the pet dictators put in place by the US, and this action branded them Forever Enemies, not to be forgiven until such a time as they agree to install a new puppet.

The Democrats have been chasing the center for decades, and losing ground doing so. Hillary didn’t lose because she wasn’t centrist enough, but rather she was far too right on a lot issues for a lot of Democrats.

I will point out that not only are corruption and party loyalty not exclusive to capitalism, but they predate the very concept by a good many centuries (although if you define capitalism as “unrestrained greed”, which would be fair, then I suppose it only predates the codified definition of capitalism).

That’s been my issue. Forget the independents. How about the liberals who want someone who’s willing to actually stand up and fight for what they want? I’d wager they number far more than the independents, and are more likely to actually vote if they feel they have someone who will be worth voting for.

More accurately, recognise that there is nothing she can do that won’t piss of the GOP and it’s supporters. With this understanding, the thing to do is not piss off your own supporters.

It is simple, IMO- one belief he holds above all others is his own infallibility. So if he believes something to be true, it must be true, and all evidence to the contrary must therefore be false. Even is what he believes at the moment runs counter to what he believed ten minutes ago, a video recording of him stating…

Hopefully it comes with a nice chuck of cash to make up for it. A shitty day at a fake job is made much more tolerable by $10k

I don’t think you understand what that word means.

Except she’s never made any such claim. She literally only said it was in her ancestry. Not that she’s important because of it. Not that you should vote for her because of it, or that she has any claim as a tribal whatever because of it. It has always been on the level of “mildly interesting anecdote”. Anyone who’s…

Would a minimum wage increase cause a host of layoffs, though? It’s never done so before, in the US or anywhere else. Same with the inflation argument. It’s a hypothetical that has no precedent, despite the large sample of minimum wage increases to look at.

I still find that to be such a weird thing- yes Trump basically goaded her into the wholeancestry test and video... but it’s also hands down the least interesting thing about her, aside from perhaps her music tastes or which condiments she prefers on a hot dog.

All of these look thoroughly inedible. Or “better than literal starvation” anyway. Which I guess is consistent with McDonald’s.

A surprisingly large number of people will not ever admit to having made a mistake, even as it kills them.

What does any of this have to do with socialism?

One easy thing to remember about conservatives: they only care about spending if liberals do it. That goes double if it helps anyone who actually needs help.

recently released felons are always flooded with new job opportunities at high0-paying firms.

That’s my thinking. Forget about how impeaching Trump might rally his base. Think about how impeaching Trump will rally Democrats. Did the GOP think about Dem voters when tried to repeal the ACA? No they did not. So sense worrying about the people who won’t vote for you anyway. 

I put the odds that the techs were given that video at the very earliest just a few minutes before the game at 90%+, and only played enough to see that the video was working.
