Sometimes I wonder how many of the people most outraged by the flag thing are from lower income areas that predominately compose the military. Grew up in an area like that where a large portion of the males in my class ended up serving (I didn’t). Ww2 never ended in those areas. Vietnam wasn’t protested. Baseball and…

Agreed. Pitt is no true son. Also, fuck Burke for throwing stones from within the alumni house that built jay mariotti.

No doubt. Long haired Ivy League hippie from Arkansas that didn’t serve? Guarantee he has one of those super quick dad-style knuckle out jabs that breaks a nose right away.

Very frustrating part of it for me. One made a poor choice because she’s old and doesn’t know technology. The other one has insane delusions, no self control of his communication faculties, and is too old to understand technology. People who freak out about the email Stuff are still sending chain mails with naked…

This frustrates me the most. The nightly news has 4 minutes to air the day’s politics so trump looks smarter than he is and Hillary looks petty for attacking him. I’ve had people tell me “she only talks about him and not her policies” uhh....her speeches are full of policies and she released full-on policy papers a…

He is the government in Detroit. Snyder and co ran away a long time ago. Sadly they didn’t have the balls to just sell him the whole city outright and help him build a wall around it. Remember: states are laboratories for conservative principals of democracy. You’re supposed to want that for the national government…

It is Ayn Rand’s utopia. You will ride Dan Gilbert’s train to work for Dan Gilbert in a building owned by Dan Gilbert. You will then go for beers after work at Gilbert’s bar on the corner in Gilbertville which collects sales tax for Dan Gilbert instead of the government. Then you make sure to go to the local Quicken…

As a Mizzou alum, I can declare our intellectual superiority over Georgia. We all opened the window before jumping through the frame on Saturday.

Agreed. Except most can’t go to the hospital bc they have outstanding warrants.

Just stood there taking it all day and then went for two at the end, leaving their opponent stunned

“Third and sixth isnt a great building spot. I guess I could demolish the preschool and put in some condos though...”-Trump

But if the moderators job is to create debate, shouldn’t they create the environment for debate? With the limited time to talk, I don’t believe a candidate should have to spend their “turn” pointing out all the ridiculous bullshit of the other. There are levels of course. This isn’t a discrete thing and that’s what…

Criticism degrades the public trust in cops, don’t you know? That why it’s important to squash all criticism from outside and within the organization with overwhelming force (of will). So people can be confident they are going to be protected no matter what...hmm...I’m running into a logic problem here...probably bc I…

Haha Chris Hayes is arguably one of the most liberal people on tv at the moment. He actually says almost exactly what you said on the next page, including the mad men reference to casual sexual harassment. That’s the point of the second half of the quote. The far right wants to go back to the social norms of the…

No one excluded. The wealthiest saw gains but the poorest saw the largest gains in income relative to their pre-war earnings. Full disclosure: I’m lifting all this from the last couple chapters of Chris Hayes’s book.

Post ww2 the economy was industrial and income gains were distributed to all classes of people in mostly equal magnitude. Glory days for unions. All that and the GI bill led to an explosion of the number of middle class workers and home owners.

“The rival ideologies of right and left are both pining for the fifties. The difference is that the liberals want to work there, while the conservatives want to go home there”-Brink Lindsey

He’s a man of his people. Not just taking the public discourse back to 1950; he decided to actually use the language of the 50's too. That or this is all being filmed for encino man 2 and he is being taught politics by Paulie Shore. You decide.

Lewandowski’s ignorance and message commitment are by far the the most fascinating and unbearable parts of the trump surrogacy on that channel. At least Kayleigh McEnany and Boris Epshtyn seem to just be lawyers who like to argue losing cases with vigorous racism and bullyrage. Yelling louder than other people, and…

Trump’s base would take a huge hit if you nuked central penn
