Interesting. I’m definitely going to look further into this because I find it fascinating how an administration like Bush II’s could have by the book war mongers like Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove et al who I don’t recall misappropriating funds and as having the proper levels of separation between say Haliburton contracts…

100% honest question. I don’t really feel like researching it but what is the general comps between the level of executive branch execs, administrators, etc. who are being sanctioned or investigated in this administration compared to others? It feels, let’s say juuuuust a bit higher than normal but I wonder how common…

You think that Corporate Governance Boards are leftwing bullshit?

You should probably go tell every governance board in corporate America that they’re very existence is probably illegal. I had to double check your comment history to make sure this wasn’t some poorly worded satire but hot damn, you’re actually this fucking stupid.

Oh yea you can, see Ricky Williams. He never much liked football but he was amazingly good at it and grew up in an environment (Texas) where that talent was valued higher than almost anything else. I’m sure he enjoyed playing the sport but choosing not to play it was never, ever an option for him.

If you go back longer than even like 50 years, there’s much to be said about the view that politics have been encroaching on religion. The fact that the United States were incorporated not only under a belief in the tolerance of religion but that there was to be no state-sponsored religion was a big fucking deal. And…

I don’t recall Obama getting all that much in the way of crap for the economy, at least not for the crash part. He certainly was excoriated for a slow but steady recovery as well as all the “mitigating” factors for the number of jobs added being part-time or gigs, workplace participation numbers rather than jobs…

Why do people still think that lifetime welfare is a thing? 80% of people, and that’s all people including those infirmed and disabled, rely on federal welfare programs (Medicaid, SNAP, supplemental income assistance, etc.) for  less than 2 years. The major outlier is housing and rental assistance.

Taking to Libertarians is inherently like talking to a child. It’s exhausting because many people with Libertarian ideals need to be completely and utterly convinced on every single detail of every single exception to their rule limited governance before they’d concede a single point. It’s like arguing whether or not…

America since its inception (and before that really) has always tried to jam two different economic systems, rural and urban, into one. That’s essentially what the sticking point at the Continental Congress was.

My favorite Glassdoor review was one that someone wrote about a place my wife consulted for that was simply “Stop hiring everyone from Wakefield”.

I am not shocked that you think the pivotal plot point in that film is 45 seconds of straight vomiting.

Exactly. And none of the tax incentives are going to woo Amazon. A city like Duluth could promise everything Amazon could ever want out of a municipality and Amazon is still going to say “cool but Boston has all the talent pool, public transportation, international airport, housing and infrastructure accommodations tha…

Amazon is going to Boston or Denver or Dallas or any city where the local talent pool, utilities, transportation infrastructure, housing etc. is impressive enough for them to not be forced to invest in creating or importing resources themselves. And they’re pitting those cities against each other because local level…

especially given his status as a prominent conservative and a God fearing person of faith.

“Oh, but Democrats are loose fiscally!” argument will never work again.

“Cruz is willing to scorch the earth,” Jennifer E. Duffy, a senior editor at the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, said about the one-term Senator’s eagerness to go negative so early in the campaign. “He’s clearly worried.”

This is honestly how many conservatives (to use a modern term for a historical mindset as old as humanity itself) justify their actions. Like a pre-emptive, defensive war. They believe that everyone thinks like they do so when they cheat or lie or steal or whatever, they’re simply doing it first rather than being the…

I’m curious about what exactly you believe the left’s version of this these issues are. For example, what is the left-wing version of Prager University?
