The one time we all could've used conservatives' hatred of minorities and they just let us down.

You sure you aren't driving poorly given that it is always someone mad right near you?

If it was ground up plastic it would probably just get carried off by the wind.

The state of things is the US dollar is still king. We export our inflation because the US dollar is the world reserve currency. Yes there are other states that would be interested in de-dollarizing, but what's the alternative? Flying planes of gold around the world like Russia?

This unlikely to change in the near future, because there are few other currencies large enough to fill the role and there are exactly zero other countries with anywhere near the military power to maintain reserve currency status.

We produce more light sweet crude from our oil fields while our refineries are set up to handle more heavy stuff from place like Mexico and Canada. Anyway I believe the bigger issue is refining not raw oil production? Why don't you mention that? Or do you just care about how much black stuff we pull out of the ground?

I think they are just authoritarians. They just want people to fall in line, follow orders, and shut up. Logical inconsistencies in their arguments or policies? Well fuck you logic is for nerds.

Don't want to play ball well too bad you're probably a witch anyway. Don't think the Earth is the center of everything? Do not pass go and straight to jail!

It is kind of impressive how wildly unsophisticated the Trump clan is with their scams. I guess if it works on their rube supporters. What I mean is like why bother investing in a real bearded lady when you can just show them a poorly drawn picture of one and charge the same admission.

If I had to pick one word I'd go with deranged.

That Oxy family. Or the whole Panama papers? Or recently all the Boeing execs that ignored or silenced various whistleblowers with regard to the 737 Max.

Well you don't see the programs to get men into the sciences because those were like societal shifts. For example, rewarding young male students who tried different things versus penalizing female students that engaged in outside the box thinking. For a more recent concrete example one can look to the field of economics. Women in economics actually face measured animus simply for their status as female.

You say you want everyone getting the help, but what I hear is a privileged class watching another class get more equal treatment or rights as somehow bringing you down.

It was a smart move. You don't just snub a guy that has no problem blasting a guy with some bird shot.

 

If there was a game show like are you smarter than a fifth grader, but instead it is are you smarter than previous President George Bush Jr. and twice impeached previous President Trump is the first contestant would Trump win? So basically who is smarter the 43rd or 45th?
