Young Freud posted:They used to call those people Rockefeller Republicans, because they were moderate- or liberal-leaning on social justice causes Which is always funny to me since the eponymous Governor Rockefeller's most salient legacy is Drug War mass-incarceration.

I mean, I'd seen Inside Job, I'd watched (and read) the Corproation, none of this is exactly new to me. It's just somehow worse than I wanted to know.

Huffpo, like Fox News, also really seems to like running articles that pretend to be above celebrity gossip about a woman/women doing something scandalous while gleefully linking all the pictures. At least TMZ acknowledges what it is. Fox News "kids these days!" stories that link to videos of Cancun spring break and the like will never not be funny.

The thing that truly baffles me about those "ugh, kids these days" things that keep cropping up is that people act like back in their day nobody ever got drunk and acted like a dumbass. Getting drunk and acting like a dumbass is a basic human urge and that's going to keep happening as long as humans, booze, and acting like a dumbass all exist. We're human. We do poo poo like that. We always have. We always will.

I work a mile from the Navy Yard. The Metro PD texts have gone from " "M Street SE is closed between South Capitol and 8th Street SE due to police activity, according to DDOT" to literally "Please avoid the area. Go indoors and shelter in place." Not again  Just about everyone at my office has a friend that works at Navy Yard... a lot of people nervous this morning

Job report out, unemployment down to 5.3%, but only added 221k jobs, labor force participation was down, hourly compensation was down So not terrible, but not really good either. Really questioning the Feds assertion that they needed to let off the injection because the economy was about to take off

(It's really hard to even make these arguments in jest, because I know some gently caress in the media will unironically make them after this is resolved.) E: Thank God. Wonder what happened?

We need big infrastructure projects and other job creation by the gubmint, which isn't going to happen because the GOP are lunatics.

Somebody is doing the raping, Don, I mean, you know -- I mean, somebody's doing it. You think it's women being raped, well who is doing the raping? Who is doing the raping? I mean how can you say such a thing. I summon the soul of Richard Nixon, Joementum, to tell us if there is a more objectively disastrous presidential campaign rollout than Donald Trump.
