  1.  @shavingryansprivates4332  330 million Americans living peacefully in their own country, but I bet you still think there's a problem with the US being in Afghanistan and the rest of the middle east

  4. For a real, REAL brief period with Lincoln, and from FDR all the way up to Nixon. Carter, for all that he was vanilla flavored and forgettable, was not a fucking asshole either. But the Republic that was Of the People, By the People, and For the People, has been in a tailspin since Nixon. That was truly the end of greatness. And even during the best years were still marred with portions of this country carrying on shit like Jim Crow, The Dropping of the Bombs (necessary, but still a point of shame), Japanese American Internment camps. But there has never been a utopia in the history of nations, either here or abroad. What determines your greatness is whether or not you're TRYING to make one. And right now we are not.

  9. @Severina L. Spinelluccio And therein lies the detachment from reality. Or at least the proof of why most of the world will never agree with Italians on the prevailing social characteristics of Italians. You do not now, nor have you ever, had a reputation for dispassionate decisions such as, say, the Japanese. There's a reason why illogical, feelings-powered acts of passion are described as Romantic. "Just because you're screaming over everyone else to shove your opinion to the front doesn't mean you aren't being respectful" - Italians, 2018 "False" - Common Sense, 2018

  11. Well, you certainly weren't disappointed, Luca. They showed up in droves with Tiki Torches in one hand, and tissue in the other. Poor babies.

  12. There's another reason Iran is feeling particularly bold. Muqtada Al Sadr is president of Iraq now, and that give Iran a nice, giant, country sized highway to funnel into Syria from. Yes, despite what Al Sadr has said, he is pro Iranian. They sheltered him from the Iraqi government and US forces for years after his militia was beaten to a pulp in Iraq by 2007.

  17. This isn't a mystery. Never has been. It's because a handful of disturbingly rich Energy dickheads have enough money to bribe our government despite the will and well being of "we the people". And the money they spend to do that is pocket change compared to what they would spend to swap from diesel/coal/gas power plants to wind and solar farms. But take heart: Wind and Solar is growing anyway. They can't stop it. They have, however, slowed it to our detriment. They buy and and bury any and all patents and research into anything that would eat into their established energy manufacturing. For them, the point is to maintain all the profits they make now, because they don't care about money in the future or the good of the nation or people. Our stock market works the same way. Money this quarter is worth several times more money in 5 years. This is why dividend stocks have died and day trading is dejour.

  18. LOL, the Chinese don't have much to be proud of. Let them have their Pro-Han ethnic propaganda. They need it, they have very weak egos and compensate alot. The fakery at the Olympics comes to mind....

  21. Chakrabortty gave a hell of a Q&A. Young man did you all proud, and came to the table armed with expertise and an aggressively frank attitude for a fiesty political interview. You don't see it's like in the modern media environment these days.

  25. I've gone and watched our local A-10 Hog Pilots in Idaho fly out from Gowen Field to practice at Mountain Home. They fly every day regardless. Part of maintenance and sustainment, so they weren't wasting any money doing a fly over. And they personally tool almost every single part on that plane right there in the hangar's machine shop. They may be dated, but goddamn are they a good bang for the buck compared to an F-35 the Air Force might be too cheap to risk on a CAS mission to support grunts on the ground. The Hog: When you need it, it'll be there, and it won't be down for maintenance.

  26. I can see dumb right wingers wondering why anyone would put money into Montenegro, thinking it's in Africa. Right next to Nambia, and it's capital city Bowling Green.

  27. They tap 3 key trends to get popular and paid: 1. Focus group created Faux-Hipster H&M millennials that are selling sex appeal without being too gauche about it, and just "empowered & diverse" enough. But not TOO much, she's quasi-ethic looking in that Kim Kardashian way and he doesn't speak. I'm sure that makes her an even bigger hit with girls who "Love her SOOO much!!!" just because she's pretty, and is accessorized with just the right fashionable boyfriend who knows how to be seen and not heard. 2. Quoting horseshit political philosophy they won't ever practice that came from focus groups that analyzed all the worst college student stereotypes. 3. Tapping into the horseshit "tiny home" trend that the Real Estate biz has co-opted as an excuse to charge more for less living space instead of living truly inexpensively and sustainably.

  28. I was part of rescue efforts after Katrina and Rita. While we were largely engaged with search efforts, keeping food and drinking water moving, sandbagging, and body recovery, there was another player making moves in New Orleans as soon as the storm passed: Insurance and Property Companies. After the 4th week we were there, titanic sized water pumps started showing up in throwing water out in neighborhoods that had long been abandoned and cleared. After doing security checks to figure out who these people and their equipment were, we found out they were being deployed by Property Investment groups. They were mostly working on expensive water front neighborhoods, and they were there to salvage properties that were not sufficiently insured from the hurricane, and that they were there to buy up cheap from desperate owners who's homes were destroyed. A guy named Marcus Miller, the lead tech of one of the pump teams we checked out, didn't even bother to lie about it. Texas may not see this much, since their property values are so much cheaper than the waterfront properties of New Orleans.

  29. A background check wouldn't have stopped a rich, white, retired age psycho with a clean background from doing this. He was the very model of an ideal gun shop customer. Every one of us isn't an active shooter until we pull the trigger on the crowd.

  30. Republicans on Taxes & Economics: Rich Republican enjoys Filet Mignon and Cabernet, everyone else can only afford a salad and a glass of water. Rich Republican demands we split the bill evenly and refuses to chip in on the tip, says the waitress should get a real job if she wants more money, then corners the Lettuce market and jacks up the price of a Salad Progressives on Taxes & Economics: Rich Republican still eats Filet Mignon & Cabernet, has to pay his fair share for what he eats, and everyone who could only afford a salad pays for their salad. And for once, that Rich Schmuck has a 15% gratuity added to his bill instead of stiffing the staff and expecting the Salad Eaters to tip for him

  34. It's not in China's interest to let NoKo and SoKo bury the hatchet. The Kim dynasty is an easily managed catspaw used to hassle other nations along the Pacific Rim, and the US, without taking direct blame. You don't think North Korea ever came up with their OWN ballistic missiles in the span of a few years, did you? It was in China's interest to have them take their crazy up a notch, so they could pretend to be the mediating influence. And demand some concessions in return. Such as taking over the rest of the South and East China Sea so they can control all of Taiwan's, Singapore's, Korea's, and Japan's trade shipping by owning every rock in the ocean and throwing up a "no trespassing" sign around it's waters

  35. Establishing the basic education level as a right for every American kid, everywhere, isn't a fucking business. It's a core Civic Service, right up there with National Defense. Ayne Rand fanboys and anarcho capitalist hucksters like you have no business in civics. Because all you do is try to turn a buck off of it. The Business of America isn't Business, it's Being America. A Country beholden to all it's people. Not a Corporation beholden to it's board of directors and major shareholders. Besides, what other fucking country has financially competing grade schools as a standard of education? None. So NOBODY else in the world.

  36. Honestly, just clicked to admire the sights of Yoshino. Pretty numb to the COVID thing by now, and having a freshly decontaminated mask for the day, eye pro, and some form of gloves handy is just ordinary daily-do by this point Some of us adapt. Some of us throw tantrums. Know the difference, could save your life.

  39. Doesn't matter what you legalize. Because then only 2 things will happen: They will come up with something even more addictive to smuggle. They will not decide to turn their efforts towards "legitimate" enterprises. Being criminals that destroy life as a statement of their "power" is what defines them. Not the pursuit of money.

  45. I know a few growers here. They really thought they were going to have their cake and eat it too. Not get in trouble for a grow operation, AND still be able to charge Prohibition level prices. They are, in the end, still the drug dealers you always knew, who wanted to stay on that by a gravy train for something anyone could do. Whereas all the hippies who just wanted to grow their own were the ones who really voted it into reality. But on the bright side, we are talking decriminalizing mushrooms in the state now, so shits about to get real wierd around here. The number of plastic bags being lit on fire and stared at around campsites about to triple.

  47. Oh man, wait til you get a load of his "Values Voter" conference appearance. So much for free speech, he's creeping up on making it a crime to say Happy Holidays or have anything but a burning cross on top of your tree. The swag bags passed around were a real hoot as well. It's a step beyond "good people on both sides, both sides"
