Yeah well he's conveniently omitting the rest of the satanic pantheon, like the polite satan, the sweaty handshake satan, the overly negative satan, the homophobic satan, and the satan who spends a really long time in the bathroom.

I'll wait for the summary. The melodramatic "I gasped" retelling of a loving phone call is what did it for me. Don't Politico and Hachette employ editors?

Are you aware that mainstream media is so retarded that it will do things like report that the biggest takeaway from allegations of sexual assault of a minor against Kevin Spacey is that he's gay?

Berghdal will be just fine, he can make a shitload selling a book, guest speaking, doing interviews, etc. for the next 3 months until the national attention span snaps. As long as he puts the money away. And he can come out of storage as an MSNBC commentator during the next forever war.

Yeah, uh, :lol: if you judge opinion pieces as anything. They're not news and have never been presented as anything but opinion pieces.

WaPo and NYT are top tier outlets. Mostly because every other outlet has gone bankrupt over the years, but still.

Outside of politically charged stuff, NYTimes is a straight shooting rag, but they absolutely toe the party line for whoever is in power. They are the neoliberal equivalent of a media organization; they give the appearance of due diligence while conveniently ignoring plenty of poo poo. The current CEO was in charge of the BBC when all of the Jimmy Savile pedo stuff was going on (he left before it finally broke to the public).

I'm not talking about winning, he would win 100%. His actual governance wouldn't be that good and would cause even more damage to the democratic brand.


edit: Joe should campaign and win the election and then immediately abdicate for his more progressive and younger VP. It seems like you need to be different people to win and to actually govern

I’m a little wary of any candidate who, having once been denied the chance to run, comes back when it’s their “turn” and victory is all but assured.

You retards condemning Franken's accuser should really listen to yourselves. It doesn't matter what circumstances make her story suspect -- the reason we are just now, in 2017, taking seriously the extent of harassment and sexual assault faced by women is because of this dynamic right here. Every story has an element than can be twisted to fit another agenda, e.g. to cast doubt. When the first woman who speaks out is instantly discredited, other women (if they exist) are not going to make the same mistake. Don't let the accuser's decision be a mistake. If she's full of poo poo, that will come out in the investigation. In the mean time, consider that other victims may exist, and are watching and debating what to do.

If it's all a farce, Franken will be fine.

Is it sexist to comment on her mustache? Just don't want to eat a ban you know...

This is a fine line and anyone who looks like a dope and shills for trump deserves to be made fun of for both. My challenge to you all is to find something non-sexualized if you feel compelled to mock her appearance. Like, perhaps she’s horrible for reasons besides the fact you wouldn’t gently caress her (we know you’re lying anyway). Or whatever, she’s a gross girl and probably has bad farts.

This is a very good article on gun control:

I Had Never Touched a Gun Before the Las Vegas Massacre. Then I Bought One.

A liberal snowflake gets to know gun culture from the inside.

by Sean Nelson


quote:

Right on Target was taught by two NRA-certified US Marines, who conveyed a breathtakingly comprehensive knowledge of firearms—their history, their variety, their mechanical operation, and the laws that govern them. I was particularly struck by Brett Bass, a tall, affable guy who communicated his command of the subject matter with the wit and warmth of a born teacher.

Later, after the class, I asked if he'd be willing to talk to me for this story. I learned more in our four-hour conversation over pancakes and coffee than I have from any number of impassioned pro- and anti-gun editorials. Internet shouting is no match for face-to-face communication, particularly with someone who knows more than you do. Thinking of guns strictly as an us-and-them, pro-or-con binary is a recipe for stalemate. Bass's friendly eloquence in and out of class provided an essential reminder that you can't deal with this issue without getting real about its moral, legal, ethical, and human dimensions, and without being prepared to surrender your assumptions about the people who disagree with you.

I have a gay black friend who is so loving staunchly republican that he works for the loving Coke brothers. He's like a state level manager of some type. He does like get out the vote poo poo and networks professionally. He's a really good friend from like freshman year of college, but we keep our political discussions firmly in the policy sphere and typically don't talk about domestic or civic issues because holy poo poo his existence is a contradiction and I don't understand how he lives.

Maybe he does it because he wants to and you should ask him rather than assuming his beliefs are "wrong". He might just be nuts, but if you form conclusions without asking, you're being a slightly racist dick.

I had an interesting argument with my MAGA uncle over the holiday about how he thinks my job doesn't need a degree, since I'm not a doctor, engineer, or a 'real' scientist. He's got a GED, worked in a print shop for 35 years, and now runs the front desk for a government agency's main building as a contractor. I tried not to laugh.

He might be right to say that when he was in industry, working your way up through OJT was possible.

Capitalism has evolved to the point that companies are way more successful feeding their ranks with pre-trained candidates who have been vetted by graduating university and not burning any bridges within their network, versus hiring truly entry-level and facing the risk of candidates leaving. Outside of STEM positions & education, getting a BA is basically an ante that proves you're personally invested and ostensibly competent.

I worked construction for my dad from when I was 12 through high school. College was an easy choice as it quadrupled my pay and created new opportunities as well.

This college problem might be solved easily if accreditation were only given to schools that required a year of blue collar work / manual labor before admissions. I guess it also might reinforce class misperceptions and stereotypes over the long run, but uh, we're kinda already there.
