The problem is more the fact that it is possible for him to do this, not that he actually did it. Trump may be a scumbag, but he’s allowed to be one, and whose fault is that? So, the democrats feign outrage that Trump takes advantage of the very same tax system they had a hand in designing? My sides…

Others have pointed out Bezos, etc., and…[Read more]

Ballot harvesting is just a way for people who can’t get to the polls for whatever reason a way to vote. It is literally just allowing someone other than the voter to collect and return the ballot. That’s it.

Sure, in theory, the person tasked with collecting the ballots can burn them, throw them in the garbage, eat them, or whatever else the…[Read more]

If you didn’t already know, you might not think so, butTimberlands are a big part of hip hop fashion, especially back in the ’90s. @coldmountaintrail

All of it is very funny: the whole pretending to be from Oakland, the timberland boots, waxing nostalgic on puffing blunts and listening to Tupac. She may as well just assume the full caricature she’s drawing all of this from. Maybe she can casually post an Instagram video where she pulls out a 40oz of malt liquor, making sure to pour a little out…[Read more]

If we must live on this dystopic timeline, then we deserve to be entertained! We must demand that these two fools humiliate each other for our amusement.

In theory, beating Trump in a debate should be easy since he’s ignorant about practically everything; however, it doesn’t seem to be so simple in practice. With Biden, the democrats know he is…[Read more]

All they tested for is whether or not swear word fluency correlates with general verbal fluency. It’s not even close to the same thing.

Verbal fluency tests will usually give the participant a minute to name as many words as they can that begin with a certain letter (e.g. the letter ‘f’), or as many words they can name from a certain category…[Read more]

I guess when you have people telling you how brilliant and wonderful you are all the time, it’s only a matter of time before you start to believe your own hype.

I agree with you, @mizzgrizz

She was 75 years old when Obama won back in 08. She should have retired a few years into his presidency, which would have put her in her late seventies.…[Read more]

The problems go deeper and are more numerous: they basically function as a super congress, are obviously hyper-partisan, are appointed rather than elected, and can then serve for life, without having to answer to anybody.

None of that changes whether we have three of them or 300 of them.

@jonlp Thanks. Good example of what I mentioned about idpol simplicity and its limitations in trying to understand social problems. Idpol prophets declare: If a social problem has a racial component, then it is a racial issue first and foremost, and any holistic analysis shall be regarded as blasphemous.

Yes, police do kill black people at higher…[Read more]

I’m sure many wouldn’t want to touch this one, but I’ll just dive right in since I’m a glutton for punishment. Such is my custom.

Idpol ignores and/or accepts plenty of bigotry because it operates on a sort of reversed privilege hierarchy. If you’re level of oppression is higher than the person or group you are slandering/attacking, then it…[Read more]

If anything it’s kind of funny and a bit pathetic. Our elites around the world just hand out awards to each other willy nilly with no believable justification whatsoever. All of this is nothing more than a feeding of the egos, something to temporarily assuage each other’s narcissism.

Chelsea Clinton gets a lifetime achievement award. Rush gets…[Read more]

Every time. Because the democrats always do exactly what Biden is doing right now: campaign on rolling back a tiny portion of the repub admin’s excesses, which leads the republicans to then declare that to be the new ‘far left.’ That’s how we wound up with Romney calling his own healthcare plan socialism, and how we now find ourselves learning…[Read more]

Corporate tax rate throughout the years:

Under Biden’s plan the corporate tax rate would still be lower than it’s EVER been in modern history, and that’s WITH the penalty, which isn’t even a penalty at all when you put it in perspective. In fact, this is to the right of Reagan and the lowest tax rate since the early 1940s. And this is his…[Read more]

That is but one of many interpretations one can come up with. One can just as easily view it is a neutral portrayal of the times, or even find a certain irony of Roosevelt on his high horse.

They can judge these statues of the past by modern standards of morality, but are too dim witted and unimaginative to interpret these thing by modern…[Read more]

…the fact remains that they got her on a technicality, and it was the prominent media figures like Joy Reid who made the rules, and worked tirelessly to create this environment when it benefited their goals. She would relish the opportunity to put someone else through the ringer for a similar slip up, so I have zero sympathy for whatever she may…[Read more]

Exactly nothing has changed.

It was Kennedy trying to usurp Markey, not the other way around. Markey has had that senate seat since 2013, and he’s been in congress since the fucking 70s.

I wince whenever anyone portrays her to be some sort of deer in the headlights victim in all of this, as if she were some naive sixteen year old farm girl plucked from an impoverished village somewhere in eastern Europe. Barf.  She knew exactly who he was and is.

She’s Trump’s female equivalent, and it’s the most obvious thing in the world.

It…[Read more]

I don’t know what kind of an education most people got, but I don’t think it would be much of a revelation (yes, even for “white” people) to hear from a football coach that US history is littered with instances of cruelty, brutality, and  countless failures to live up the ideals the country claims to stand for. In fact, it’s a defining…[Read more]

In 2012, there was an incumbent on the ballot (Obama seeking re-election). Contrary to your hypothesis, however, the Greens did not experience a loss of support. Instead, their vote almost tripled.

But 2016 Stein (no incumbent seeking reelection) got almost three times the support as 2012 Stein (incumbent seeking reelection). I think it is more…[Read more]

I figure Howie Hawkins will do worse than Jill Stein.

Stein had more public visibility in 2016 than Hawkins does, at least at this point. She managed to get enough publicity and television time to at least be known to voters back inj 2016. Hawkins? I confess that I’d never heard of him before he became the Green Party nominee. In fact, it just…[Read more]
