“We’re not defending the status quo, but everything is totally fine exactly the way it is!”

If Arizona will pay for this nonsense, maybe I can swindle them into building an ice rink in the middle of the damn desert!...

Luthor has this vision all of a sudden of what we’re supposed to be as a species, what humans are supposed to be,

“I have this vision of what mankind should be...and I have a plan. I will hire an alien, a psychic gorilla who wants to devolve everyone, a woman who turned herself into a werebeast, a chaotic evil, self-mutilating clown, and a diver... okay, I didn’t say it was a great plan.”

This is full CYA; the major corps that own these outlets are concerned that there will be a groundswell of political energy around an anti-corruption movement. Yes, folks who live/work/subsist in the metro DC are aware that access is a polite way of phrasing “purchasing power” but for a lot of Americans this is…

Purchasing access to a Senator or a President is expensive, but it pays much greater dividends: immediately, and over time.

We should have known the “corruption is totally cool!” takes were coming. Fuck this shit.

This is like dipshit hipster politics. “Pssh, I knew the government was corrupt WAY before you. Get with it.”

It’s also a brilliant example of looking at how things are, and ignoring how they came to be that way.

Welcome to late stage capitalism.

Give us a break. We’re not defending the status quo

Hey, I’m okay with that angle. Tell us more! Tell us when people do it. Tell us the amounts of money involved. Tell us which politicians are involved and which ones left the room with a smile on their faces before the actual money talk happened. Tell us every time it happens.

No, you misunderstand my point and maybe i wasnt clear. I mean the K-street elite class are comfortable and safe and rich regardless of who the president is.

excellent take down, thank you. This is what happens when activity in the imperial capital becomes utterly divested from real life. And i dont mean in a Trumpian/Sarah Palin “real” America sense, but in the sense that all these ppl are rich and privileged and whether its Obama or Trump in the white house their…

God I can’t stand this. Their response is that corruption is the norm and we should get used to it. ‘Oh this is just how it is. What are you upset well that’s just how it is.’ Seriously? That’s how they want to play this?

In reverse order, every coach that has actually beaten LeBron in a playoff series:

There should be a 9-11 for White people and a real 9-11 for the rest of us.

One would think all of their facilities should use the Amazon Key service. Since Amazon wants us to trust them to allow delivery people access to our homes, surely they can demonstrate the same amount of trust in their Amazon Key feature by using it themselves.

Everyone’s talking about price hikes and microtransactions; meanwhile I’m wondering why studios don’t reign in budgets more. It seems like every game these days is either an indie or a AAA; they need to bring back PS2-esque “B” games.

The more I read about this guy, the more convinced I am that Trump’s actual psychological condition is Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and that Don Jr. is the Scapegoat of the family.
