You mean the game theory developed by John Nash? John Nash, the paranoid schizophrenic? Amazing.

Oh, no. It’s 100% of the time so far. Amazing.

Oh shit, you’re right. Running from the police is also punishable by death.

Right, but there’s decades of evidence where the dems have continually rolled over/made terrible decisions and we now find ourselves in a horrifying situation. I would like to have some confidence that Schumer is playing 6th dimensional chess here, but that’s really not what the evidence suggests will happen. As I…

Definitely. That’s an accurate summary of what I wrote.

First, the dems should be making the case that a “shutdown” doesn’t mean that the government shuts down. Instead, it’s a right wing ploy to eliminate those parts of the government that the republicans don’t want anyway. It’s not like the CIA and the military just stop because the government is shut down. It’s only…

Here we are again with the same tired shit. “Pick your battles!” “You have to compromise!” “It’s a process!” “The GOP is worse!”

They’re so used to the dems rolling over and exposing their bellies that they know they can ask for whatever they want and probably get it.

That’s ideology masquerading as fact. There are fastidious poor people and spendthrift rich people. The difference is that the financial systems punish one of those groups disproportionally. Take the example of home ownership. Many, perhaps the majority, of people on the lower end of the economic ladder have one…

Welcome to america. Where even a minor traffic violation is a death sentence!

Just a few bad apples.

We should be teaching everyone about financial literacy. We should start with the millionaire coke-head bankers that keep playing russian roulette with the economy so that they can line their own pockets, and when they inevitably fuck everything up they rely on tax payers, like the poor ones in Kentucky, to bail them…

I have never moved my goal posts. It’s you and the rest of the shitlibs who will preform every kind of mental contortion imaginable to excuse the voting record of anyone with a fucking D after their name. “Well, the GOP is worse!” is your only fucking retort and it’s become a tiresome one. Everyone knows they’re…

You realize that Jones has voted in line with Trump’s position 100% of the time since he took office, right? That’s a fact. I’m glad that counts as “good” for you.

Yes. That’s definitely what I’m saying. Because if you criticize a democrat, you’re on the side of the GOP. I wonder what it’s like to exist in a world made only of false binaries.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t his fuckstick serve double duty as director of the OMB? And, didn’t the OMB insert language into the most recent appropriations bill (the end the shutdown bill) that basically gave intelligence agencies free reign in terms of how they spend money? I love this guy. He’s fabulous.

Just a few bad apples.

You seem nice. Want to hang out?

Here’s the problem as I see it (and I am totally an expert with opinions): The democrats have no real strategy here. First, let’s be clear that a “shutdown” only affects those parts of the federal government that are deemed “non-essential.” It doesn’t mean that the CIA and the military get the fucking day off. It…

and russia.
