First off, this whole thing kind of sounds like a story I heard a while back (I think on NPR or an affiliated podcast) about how people in a Southern African country (I forget which) monitor HIV status using gossip and internet lists to decide who’s safe to be around. “I heard Jerry had a cough, and he’s always been…

Some of these tricks aren’t uncommon. Apparently, one of the few times white house staffers saw Obama truly angry was when one of his cabinet members (the story said who, but I don’t remember) killed a bank regulation Obama wanted by just never working on it. According to the story, the cabinet member was an old hand…

And then they throw rocks at a kid because he has cooties.

Eh, parents actually believe in Jesus. Santa’s just a weird thing goyim do because doublethink is a sign of purity in Christian traditions.

I never said their worldview was correct, just that it contains no contradiction between wanting to prevent mass killings and supporting the NRA.

Yes, that’s the article I was referencing.

Considering the article slightly down the page, I suppose the conservative version of this list would be every congressman who offered condolences but took money from the ACLU or some other anti-surveillance group. Much like how we are skeptical of the hypothetical that greater electronic surveillance would have…

Negotiating with China to buy a coup?

I think it’s becoming obvious that the only people we can negotiate with are in Beijing. TIllerson is willing to do the Kabuki to maintain China’s open secrets, while Trump has made it abundantly clear that he has to patience for theatre.

Eh, the military isn’t in position to do anything and there are still a lot of Americans on the Peninsula (mainly the southern part).

There hasn’t been any buildup or preparation, though, with the American population in Korea being completely unmoved. If Trump wants a war, it’s a war of words.

And here my first two thoughts were “that’s a chick?” and “not that there’s anything wrong with that.”

She seems to come off as mission-driven, which seems to be enough for a lot of people, to the point that it may have been Trump’s main advantage in 2016.

And what’s the name of the team they’re choosing to represent, again?

You’re why goyim are famed for their lack of taste.

Goyim are weird

I see the section about support animals doing nothing good about the stereotype that black people are luddites when it comes to the health sciences, including mental.

Of course, there’s a slight problem of economics getting less Keynesian and more Austrian as you go more local in scale. Makes it really hard to run on liberal econ.

They helped us get Obama. All we need to do is find the wedge issues they’re with the Dems with (union shit) and have someone who can at least pretend to understand the working class environment flog the hell out of them while not implying that the vote of anyone who doubts any stance of any Dem cohort isn’t wanted.…
