I know he’s blind and all, but the true test of a warrior is testosterone levels.

For example, by learning engineering it made me loose my jewish faith…

The Conservatives are right to worry about University. I mean faith leaders expect to loose biology majors, but when engineers are getting de-converted you’ve got a serious problem.

Tax relief to soften the impact of high fuel costs is pretty normal government thing. Is why tax-free diesel exists in the first place. Trump’s mistake was causing the high gas prices.

It’s interesting to see Trump floundering on what he thinks will be popular among voters. Doing things that help Americans is an afterthought, he’s scrambling like a failing student for extra credit ahead of the Final.

Acknowledging that IBM is still around undermines your point about “competition”. The whole point of end-game capitalism is to escape competition, not overcome it.

CSPAN is going to have to hire an interpreter so they can broadcast his speeches in English. Dude sounds like a drunk Foghorn Leghorn.

Symbols are for the symbol minded. I care about fascist policy, not iconography. He could stand in front of a bust of Hitler for all I care just so long as he stops murdering fisherman, Iranian kids, and heroic drug smugglers.

The only qualification a voter needs is to be subject to the authority of the State. Any other calls to “qualify” voters is voter suppression. It’s VoterID, Poll taxes, and Literacy tests.

If a voter decides on a candidate because Mars is in retrograde, that’s just as legitimate as the vote of the head of the political science department. low information voter = anti-democracy. If you can exclude them because their stupid, then you can exclude them for being black or a woman too. You can whittle it down until you get the utopia of the superior, or fascism as it’s commonly known.

If your system requires improved and enlightened humanity, then your system is tyrannical and sucks.

Students are citizens with rights. But rules about profanity are reasonable measures for good discipline.

If a student wore a You Can’t Lick Our Dick button to class, what teacher do?

rest more comfortably knowing that if there’s a hell

The problem with hell is it undermines all that Christian rot about forgiveness, pacifism, and kindness. Jesus isn’t just a God of redemption, he’s a God of infinite punishment and never-ending vengeance. And Hastert can absolutely accept Jesus and get a ticket to ride. The Holocaust Jews on the other hand, not so lucky. When I realized that all those Jews went straight from Hitler’s oven into Jesus’ oven, it permanently damaged my faith.

That’s a weird way to say he caught it. The first sentence of the article says he picked it up. He doesn’t have to be a perfect victim to deserve sympathy or hold the pigs to account.

You’d think in a conflict where both sides are operating the same equipment, they’d invest in some robust IFF. Just one more example of Russia’s competence problem.

Louisiana has the highest GDP per capita. This is usually a surprise because the State seems so poor. The reason is that the legislature can wave property tax for industry. What that means is that all that money flows into the pockets of big oil while their schools, roads, and hospitals suffer.

I’d also consider the wisdom of gouging your main industry at a time when tourism is already on the decline. Fuck Canada is a pretty weird hospitality messaging.

Be careful what you wish for Florida.

If Iran shot down any stealth fighter you wouldn’t have to look it up, it’d be huge news. The Yugoslavs got an F117 in 1999 and the tankies still won’t shut up about it.

I think it’s time we stopped teaching the Nazis as great villains and start portraying them for what they were: loosers who somehow took power in a major country and proceeded to fuck up the entire world.

“Nazis are evil” doesn’t dissuade enough people and it attracts some. I think we should try Nazis are incompetent fools who never ever get pussy. Let Matt Walsh and Tucker Carlson try to rehabilitate that.

you have to play. There are chess websites where you play slow games, each player has like 3 days to make a move. The trick is to get about 20 of these games going. In this way you have a series of chess puzzles presented to you every day. And it can be really exciting to win a game that’s gone on for 3 months.

It’s so frustrating because commodities are the narrow category of things that actually obey the principals of Econ101. It’s also the one area where conservatives and backward-thinkers are not trying to apply the principals of Econ101.

Terrorism doesn’t have a definition: it’s a slur. It’s not an action that you do, it an identity that your are. An identity that means you don’t deserve human dignity or respect. it’s not even associated with violence since being born in Gaza qualifies you, or wearing a “free Palestine” T-shirt.

There can be no coherent definition of terrorism that wouldn’t include every military force that ever existed. (and the police too). The true definition of a terrorist is someone who annoys the powerful.

Because prediction markets gambling companies have a marketing strategy where they sponsor news outlets in exchange for reporting the predictions to feign legitimacy. CNN is probably the worst, but it’s everywhere.

This is the silver lining of competing with conservatives. Their ideas are bad and don’t work.
