What is even more crazy, is Trump made his money in real estate. He had to have lost a fortune during that mess. (His company filed for bankruptcy in 2009) I get that the whole republican message is regulations are bad, but when he personally lost a ton because of it, you would think he wouldn't want to go down that road again. Now him killing the EPA and other regulations he is dismantling I get, he didn't personally lose anything because of them and he is only in it for himself, but the bank ones is really odd.

Force a depression, buy up new properties cheap, expand over the long term. If he properly learned from his mistakes, his companies should avoid bankruptcy this time.

but you're right. they have the possibility to truly and seriously and maybe even irrepairably fuck everything up. even across the planet.
and while i don't really understand why, besides greed, they are so fucking hell bent on making the destruction happen instantly.

I know, but it's still important to folks understand how shitty this action is. In addition to making sure we don't normalize the hate that the Trump campaign and election brought us, we can't find the horrible legislation and executive orders "normal". Just because it's his/their SOP, it doesn't mean we should be okay with it.

We already have a moat, but not nearly enough California Alligators. Sad.

The problem is that most Breitbart stories could pass for satire. “UNCOVERED: OBAMA’S SECRET PLAN TO PUT ISLAM INTO ORBIT” is a joke headline on almost any news site, but on Brietbart it’s going to attract ten thousand comments about “space ni…s” and “rocket jockeys”.

oh, i totally agree. and the scary thing is, that it IS getting "normalized". and at least for one thing, that blame falls on the media. they are simply NOT pursuing the bullshit and fake news and fake facts hard enough. they seem to be starting to go along to get along.
they can't seem to wrap their heads around the notion that unless they MAKE the truth come out, it won't. and if that gets them thrown out of the press room, then it does. and then they just go all out war on the dumpster and FORCE him to deal with them.
they're doing it wrong. it should be "if YOU mr. pres. want to get your message out, then YOU deal with US." not the other way around.

I seem to remember that six years ago, the ACA (AKA "Obamacare") took eight months (between July, 2009 and March, 2010) between it's introduction and passage. The Republicans (especially idiots like Ryan and McConnell) complained bitterly that the ACA was passed without sufficient discussion, etc. Yet now - the GOP is trying to ram this largely un-examined plan down our collective throats.

People's exhibit 1,345,245 in the case against the utter, shameless, disgusting hypocrisy of the Reich...er.. right wing...
 
"Sessions told radio host Hugh Hewitt that he was "going to do everything I possibly can to restore the independence and professionalism of the Department of Justice."

if that truly was his intent, then he should resign today. HE has turned the DOJ into the enforcement wing of the whitehouse. there's no independence there. nor is there ANY transparency.

appoint an independent counsel to see if there is some way of charging and prosecuting the previous admin.?
what the fuck is this, leningrad?

Part of the problem is not unlike what happened to Fender and Gibson during the CBS/Norlin years...the people controlling the media outlets aren't journalists, they're businessmen. Whatever gets ratings or clicks and generates revenues is what matters. They aren't interested in the fourth estate and championing journalism.

Journalists aren't the issue, it's media companies undervaluing the profession and the skill it requires. Then there's the assheads that voted for Trump. They will NEVER accept any story that isn't what they want to hear, especially from any media outlet that isn't Trump supporting. Hell, they don't even know recognize the WSJ, National Review, and (to a lesser extent) the Economist as legitimate news sources with high-level journalism that support "traditional" conservative values...as opposed to the christo-facist (great term there man) Nazi news outlets that spew the hate that gets them excited.

The people that question Trump and his actions/motives aren't the ones that need to be shown the light. The folks that need to get a reality check are simply turning a blind eye to anything that won't support their fucked up stupid little world view.

In my lifetime, the DOJ has always been the enforcement wing of the White House. Obama used it to enforce his ideology for 8 years. Sessions doing it would be nothing new.
 
@Dogsinotpalc
yea, i've been using that term (christo-fascit) for a number of years now. and it's the right term to use for the uber right wing evango-nazis (there's another one you can use).

they're no more "christian" than Stalin. they cherry pick the religion to extract the bits and bytes that support their particular version of hate.
WWJD has NO meaning to them.

And the bits they cherry pick AREN'T from the gospels of the Apostles! Instead it's Old Testament vengeful smiting God that will rain down hell fire on innocents to punish the unrighteous. So I guess it makes sense that they cherry-pick the lies in the alt-right media outlets as "truth". Small minded shitheads.

Here is a question for @Tiltsta

Can you patent a virus? I saw something online that looks ludicrous and google returns lots of shady looking sites but I'm actually curious about the reality of someone being able to register ownership of a virus.
