Yeah nothing has been quiet LOL

When was it a dog whistle? Trump’s only campaign tactic was stoking the fire of bigotry, that’s literally all he did. There was nothing coded whatsoever, it’s never been a dog whistle, just the horrifying realization that a significant portion of the population are gung ho bigots.

If he were to propose such a thing, or make any other attempt to invalidate or ignore a loss in the 2020 election, the matter would go almost immediately to the Supreme Court... and while the conservatives on the court are a lot of things, I don’t think they’re willing to dismantle American democracy for Trump’s sake.…

This is delightful. Out of misery comes beautiful art.

You realize that the market value of some jobs is not $10/hr?

All empirical evidence suggests the arguments you made in your post are bullshit.

Yeah, I saw that and it is scary as hell. If that happened, there would be riots. Thankfully, even the GOP leadership wouldn’t sink that low. It would destroy their party.

Fine — and for those that can’t or won’t “improve themselves” to get a better job? These people don’t just disappear when assholes like you decide they’re underachieved and don’t deserve to earn enough to live.

That statement applies to the entire GOP, these days. They have done everything in their power to stop people from voting, and to make sure their votes don’t matter. When you think about the fact that they are trying as hard as they can to stop Democrats from voting, and the Democrats still get a majority of votes for…

Minimum wage should rise in concert with the GDP, like all good economist say it should. That hasn’t happened since the 60s. Because of laws.

And work hard but also ‘c’mon it’s not that hard.’

Just eight months in, nazicism isin’t evil anymore, it’s just a side. We are in for such a deep fall into hell it will make people’s head spin.

I admit that there are some serious issues equipping police with military grade hardware. But if this is the first step in eventually allowing me to install rocket launchers on my car, to use on the next asshole that cuts me off on the freeway in heavy traffic, then I’m going to have to support it.

Fox and their audience hate democracy and would be more at home in Fascist Europe or Stalinist Russia. For that matter, Putin’s Russia.

Not of course taking into account people on the lower level are under an avalanche of constant stress which directly affects how you live your life.

I believe that would be our old pal Rush Limbaugh.

“At this festive season of the year, Mr Scrooge, ... it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the Poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the present time. Many thousands are in want of common necessaries; hundreds of thousands are in want of common comforts, sir.”

Here’s the problem: your “free market” is a fiction at this point. The market hasn’t been well and truly “free” since corporate interests successfully insinuated their way into our political process.

“At no point should a minimum wage job be a career choice.” DO YOU FUCKING THINK ANYONE WANTS TO BE IN AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC FOR MINIMUM WAGE? You are fucking ghoul. Take your ‘free market’ bullshit and shove it up the anus of too big to fail.

No good can come of this. I have said this before, but I will keep saying it for as long as I have to. Militaries need enemies to justify their existence. When you militarize the police, the police will look for enemies. They aren’t going out to fight other police forces, so citizens become the enemy.
