Nope. The free market in North America pre 1850 was tiny — about 1/20 the size of Qing Dynasty’s internal free trade zone. It was piss-ant, and wasn’t attracting very much international investment at all. (Compare with opium investment in China and India.).

Thank you!!! This needs a million stars.

Read Edward Baptiste’s book, The Half Has Never Been Told, about the Economic history of Slavery, to learn why whar you’ve written is a historical cliche from the 1920s that has been thoroughly debunked.

Alzheimer’s. His father was debilitated by it when he was in his 70s.

Bannon is actually taking a more Social Darwinist line. The idea is that destroying government will help kill off immigrants, Muslims, blacks, marginal whites, and urban independents. Some middle white class white men will die, too, of course, as collateral damage. But, in the end, he’s hoping the people left standing…

Wait: do I have this right; this guy compared Jewish victims of the Holocaust ...to an atmospheric gas??! Then I’m sure he won’t mind me calling the Xyklon B of pseudo-scientists.

What a contemptible comment. Hannity has LITERALLY built an entire career on his audience not being discerning enough to distinguish fact from opinion.

I can live with him becoming an actual, non-living martyr. No one influentialthe right REALLY likes him, though; Smug doesn’t sit well with anyone

Another thing they could do is to draw straws, and let the winning children kill and eat the loser.

Please keep in mind that 2005 is BEFORE the Real Estate Crash and was, essentially, bankruptcy for tRump. In fact, right after this is probably when the Russian oligarchs whom DJT Jr said were heavy ‘investors’ in the company — started ‘investing.’

Following in the footsteps of these great educational pioneers:

The clinical terminology for the rhetoric of Spicer’s statement Is Bullshit.

Last time I checked, having a cell phone was pretty fucking important to getting ACCESS TO 911 EMERGENCY HEALTH CARE.

It’s fascinating to me that the Ameridan, Dolezal, who is 100-percent ethnically white, defines herself black American, while the Japanese, Miyamoto, who is 50-percent ethnically black American, defines herself as Japanese.

The kittens find homes this way. You would rather have them euthanized, along with the other animals that aren’t adopted? That would end that stress you’re fretting about.

Your story is going to give me nightmares. I’m so sorry that you — or anyone — had to endure this. Freedom of choice = patriarchal oppression? Then I suppose, war = peace? Ignorance = strength?

They had this sort of Title IX thing in France, around 1791. Only it was called the Law of Suspects.
