We’re already trillions in debt. 5 billion more is the very definition of a drop in the bucket. If they end up getting something tangibly good out of it, so be it. And I hate government spending on pretty much everything.

I think it goes worse for Democrats than it does for him. I think it rallies his base and maybe even convinces the few remaining fence sitters to vote for him because of the “Democratic witch hunt” that will be going on. It will be a distraction that won’t hurt Trump like people think it would. Unless there’s…

Unlike Odysseus, we’re not going to be able to blind Trump and escape. We’re stuck with him until at least 2020, because even if the House impeaches, I have a hard time seeing the Senate convicting.

And this is why people think you can’t deal with liberals: They’re irrational. Throwing out crazy hyperbole to try to prove some point. Under normal circumstances, would this be a good deal? No. But after nearly a month of 800,000 people not getting paid with no better alternative in sight, and McConnell saying he’s…

You got me there.

That’s transparent aluminum, which actually does exist in certain applications, btw.

While you’re busy asking for things that’ll never happen, might as well throw a unicorn and a blow job machine in there too.

Look, I get the whole not wanting to seem like they’re caving to Trump, but this actually sounds like a pretty decent deal all thing considered. Draft the legislation, get it through both chambers, and get it on his desk. If you pick the hill of reopening the government first before you have any legislation to pass as…

How do you explain non-profits and charities then? Government isn’t doing what they do either, or if they are they certainly aren’t doing it as well or better. There’s plenty of things that don’t fall neatly under the umbrella of being necessary function of government or profitable business.

What would you call government then, if not a necessary evil? It takes money by the threat of force for things you don’t want, starts wars you have no say over, jails people for things you don’t agree they should be jailed for, and so on and so forth. If that doesn’t fit the definition of a “necessary evil”, I’d like…

And how’s that voting to control over government working for ya?

I can’t not picture Jean Claude Van Damme in Timecop having to go back and stop all these people from killing Hitler now.

David, I love your projects and how you seemingly always manage to make a literal rolling pile of garbage come back to life, but for your sake and ours, can you just get one vehicle that’s a reliable daily driver?

Their most important failure is that they got successful enough in getting companies to stop killing their workers and paying them in company scrip that they decided to get fat and rest on their laurels. The standard of living has advanced so much over the last 120 years that even if you work a shitty job now, it’s in…

I mean, getting rid of Hitler is literally the major plot device of the Command and Conquer: Red Alert games. If you haven’t played them, well... let’s just say that I don’t think that timeline works out much better than our own.

The weird thing is, a LOT of people tried to kill adult Hitler. He fought in WWI, got mustard gassed, was shot during the Beer Hall Putsch, had I don’t even know how many assassination attempts against him, several of which should have killed him but didn’t due to last minute changes in plans/location. So you have to…

Even if you accept at face value that the people dumb enough to answer surveys represent America as a whole, do those people actually represent the people who show up to vote?

And the Feds somehow aren’t?

And why exactly would employees from a private firm, or the private firm itself, keep working if they weren’t getting paid?
