Somebody please nuke us. Take Mississippi out with us, just to be safe.

What is “the offensive”?

There it is, really. They’ve spent so much time being disingenuous that they cant fathom the thought that people hate their guy for legitimate reasons. 

Costs can be controlled by initial correct investments.

But it’s not an either or proposition. The money saved on not cancelling debt isn't specifically reserved for bailing out predatory lenders (and, if you think about it, aren't student loan lenders predatory? Why should the federal government bail out their loans?) I don’t think the best use of the limited pool of…

These debt-cancellation plans sound really nice to voters (especially young ones), but I don’t think they will address the real problem: rising cost of college tuition without a meaningful increase in the value of the degree. Wages have been stagnant for a long time, but college costs keep rising, all while most…

This is what it sounds like

“Lazer Sternhell, a real-estate investor and broker in New York...”

It’s not just “paying for” stuff. They also don’t recognize that people who don’t own property are giving up something “valuable” by implicitly agreeing to respect the idea that someone can “own” something the owner can’t/doesn’t use or control. In a true “natural” state without a society people would be able to…

In a way it’s sort of a tell on how badly our political system has broken down due to Republican intransigence. Ideally speaking, having the opposition play devil’s advocate ought to serve to improve solutions, because when you have people approaching the same problem from different viewpoints, they may see something…

And what does your company consider “qualified people?” Are they purposely making the job descriptions impossible so they can then turn around, throw up their hands and say “guess we gotta hire more H-1B visa people (who are also way cheaper so, again, more profits for me!!)“ Because 9 times out of 10, that’s exactly…

What gets me with people like these is that there doesn’t have to be any logical connection between what they believe. There is a good documentary film on this subject called “The Brainwashing of my Father” it is a good watch. 

Can we line up Andrew Neil for the next interview!

That’s what is ridiculous about all of these MAGAts that are upset that no other president was ever harassed by so many people. It is like right wing political and media reaction to the eight years that Obama was president never existed.

Dementia. He has advanced dementia. Why does no one care? It’s so frigging obvious to anyone who has suffered from dementia (by extension). 

When the ABC host countered that he didn’t answer questions about possible obstruction of justice, Trump fired back: “Look, George, you’re being a little wise guy, which is typical for you, just so you understand.”

oh, they’re quite loud about it. they get very mad when there’s a bunch of criminal activity, shootings, robberies, lack of hireable employees fresh out of school, etc in the area, and demand Someone Do Something. as a society, we agree: these predictable side effects of not paying people enough to live and raise…

the government isn’t setting the price on what it costs a human being to have a roof, food, health care, and produce another human being for when it gets too old to do the job, either. maybe it should! but that’s another discussion entirely.

nah, this one genuinely is.

I’m all for taking other factors into the equation. A simple hard number makes for a great slogan and rallying cry, but it elides a number of things that factor into most peoples’ reality, such as local cost of living, number of children/dependents, etc. The big thing I would include is adjusting for changes in the…
