Hey, aren't we supposed to be looking for government waste? Anyone? Bueller?

Looks like a pretty severe case of chinballitis.

Jesus, I just heard the "Price is Right" fail music in my head.

The thing about Nazism is, the reason it's popular among a certain ilk, is because it allows the most mediocre of men a chance to make their mark, so to speak. Nazism and anti-intellectualism go hand in hand.

People didn't realize that Trump was simply trying to normalize Putin's actions?

I just think it's important to be constantly aware that evangelicals have different theological beliefs to most Christian denominations. It means they see things differently, in a way that is hard to understand if you don't know how evangelicals see things.

Evangelicalism and Christianity are very different things, I feel. I wouldn't even call evangelicals Christians, in the sense that a lot of their fundamental beliefs run counter to what Jesus allegedly taught.

That's because half the time IRL, the "villain origin story" is literally, "I have no charisma so I chose evil, because then I can force people to like me."

Evil was always this corny, turns out the Nazis aren't nearly so cool when they don't have Hollywood script writers crafting all their dialogue.

I was raised Episcopalian, and I can tell you I don't even recognize anything associated with Trump as "Christian." Like, I no longer believe, but I was raised to believe that Christians believed in peace and charity above all else. I see neither peace nor charity from Trump's "church."

Not one Fox News viewer has ever given a shit about the deficit beyond using it as a cudgel against Democrats.

In other words, you want liberals to be a little more "cool" with genocide. Got it. Let the bigots in, if the bigots decide someone else isn't human, obey the bigots, because we've got to have that "bigger tent."
Do you have any idea how insane that sounds?

The fuck? It's easier when the lights go out? It's easier when your car gets repossessed? It's easier when you get evicted?

Vicious little bitches love seeing people get hurt, which is funny because the people they vote for also love seeing people get hurt, but these politicians don't really care whether those people are their supporters or not.

Incompetence implies they didn't WANT these outcomes, which I feel is being a bit naive.

"One day, I'll be a billionaire too, Trump promised me!"

No, it's a Nazi publicly exposing himself. I don't care WHY you think people need to go under the bus, I have a problem with a people-powered bus in the first place.

I mean, I hate to say it, but they kinda deserve to be locked up... They both knew exactly what they were dealing with, and both dropped the the goddamn ball. Frankly I just don't give a damn if they can't be arsed to stand up for what's right in the first place.

NYT apparently also demonstrating a "fondness for regal themes."

Doesn't matter, these crazy cretinous cultists don't actually believe that doing things like fixing world hunger are actually good things to do. That's what people keep missing. They embrace eugenics and believe that culling the population is good.

They voted for the guy who said he would put women and minorities in their place. That's it. That's all this was ever about. Let's not pretend their lies had value.

The idea that Rush "loved" anyone or anything is utterly ludicrous. The man built his life and career on hatred.

I feel like that's one of the greatest misconceptions about higher education, that getting an advanced degree is about simply memorizing more things - when the reality is you get the advanced degree by learning how to ask better questions (and how to find the answers).

Thank you! Fuck, this has been the most disconcerting thing, "Well YOU aren't being personally affected, are you?" I wasn't taught to act like a little bitch when it comes to injustices being done to others.

Can't quantify it with mere numbers. It's a shame that burns deep.

Damn, things must not be going well for Russia if they're trying to drum up fears over Chernobyl again. Hell I still can't get over all those men they sentenced to die by going and rolling around in the dirt. What fucking orders, "Okay go out there and get cancer everyone!"

I'm a simple man. I'm straightforward when it comes to bigotry - I don't give shit what you have to say about anything else if you're a bigot. Bigots are literally the dumbest people, why would I trust your "economic views" or whatever when I can't trust you to even see me as human?

Sure, the new you will probably want to kill the current you, but that's the best part - the you that created this whole mess will already be dead!

Bingo, this isn't an "innocent mistake," this is fucking eugenics.

Just to be clear, they're not getting special education over a misunderstanding of the word "transition." That's just an excuse. The underlying motivation is that they don't consider people with disabilities to be people, rather they're burdens to be dealt with.
