Conservatives Spent the Oscars last 10 years Freaking Out About the Dumbest Shit

The only solace I have in this awful world we’ve somehow crafted is the fact that the right has literally everything - the Supreme Court, both legislative branches, the goddamn presidency - and they’re such a fucking miserable lot that they can’t enjoy it.

Right up there with the “Cut the police some slack, it’s a dangerous job out there, everyone has guns!” and “Let everyone have guns”.

Apparently he hadn’t bought or sold any shares in the company during the previous 3 years. Then suddenly sells up just before the introduction of a tariff that will negatively impact the share price. This is blatant insider trading

dangerous drug phlogiston, or as the ‘street’ calls it Phlo, epidemic in this country is a terrible, terrible thing

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about posting here for 6 years is that Burneko loves to unfollow or ban people who dare criticize or talk shit to the staff. You pop off to one of the writers?

It’s almost as if he just free associates from whatever buzzword he hears

We also all know many people who have started small businesses, were doing okay, but then either a present medical emergency or fear of future medical emergency caused them to leave the small business world and go back to punching a clock — often a government clock — for the benes.

If Carl Icahn was a Democratic advisor, we’d be learning about this when he got arrested. But it’s 2018, Icahn is a Republican, and the Republicans running things choose party over law, party over country, and party over justice every time.

You are so right about Universal healthcare. I’ll bet most of us know multiple people who would ultimately quit their jobs and start their own businesses if they didn’t have to worry about health care. And since the vast majority of Americans are employed by small businesses, look, Mom — more jobs! Not to mention…

Mr. Juncker’s proposal to hit back at the United States through some of the products for which it is best known in Europe was first floated last month in the German news media. The German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung cited a plan to target the home states of influential members of the Republican Party,…

The problem is that Trump talks about tariffs and trade wars in general a lot... and people don’t sell millions of dollars of stock because of it. Now, if you knew that one of those myriad claims he makes is likely to actually happen, and you sell all your stock in a steel-dependent company weeks before the actual…

You want to help industries and people who have been left behind? Implement a Swiss or Canadian or German-style national healthcare system which unburdens business and de-stresses those worried about paying their medical bills, moving for work, or quitting their jobs and entering the gig, artisan, or contractor…

Absolutely love that the EU is targeting red-states to be punished. Glad to know they recognize the enemy, and can be surgical with their retaliation.

The EU has already put its foot down.

Apparently the idiot had been bragging about wanting to start a trade war for weeks. It’s still insider trading since he knew the idiot was going to try and start a trade war. The fact that it was the steel/metal industry pushing for this, while every one else told him not to (and is still telling him not to) shows…

No, the infuriating part is that they know people will likely notice but dont give a shit as they also know nothing will come of it.

I’m not sure what’s more infuriating in Trump’s circle; the shamelessness of their grifting or that all of these same people think the public is too fucking stupid to notice it

THIS. I sincerely suspect that the NRA took a huge hit and we need to pounce on the opportunity. I wouldn’t be surprised if Muller effectively destroys the NRA by the time this is done.

Ahh, another link in the slimy chain that is NRussiA! Thanks for the update... I’ve been so eager to hear what they’re finding in this investigation.
