My recollection is was broadly cheered by the left at the time.

Your recollection is given to you by people who said climate change is a hoax and obama wasn't a real citizen.

"Broadly cheered by the left" means one or two people were for it.

Remember when Trumpy saw "thousands and thousands" of people cheering in Jersey City after 9/11 (Muslims)?

Neither do I. But maga maroons sure do!

If that turns out to be true she should be the one arrested.

Knowingly filing a false police report is crime.

Lock her up!

What is being advocated is for the government to get out of the way.

So you are advocating that the federal government end its socialistic subsidies to the oil industries?

According to a study released in 2018, the US military spends $81 billion a year defending global oil supplies. This translates to a subsidy of about $30 a barrel or $0.70 per gallon of oil for US consumers, who pay for this subsidy through their taxes.

Can we just kill them all?

Well. Not ALL of them. Just the colored ones for now.

Also make sure you are white and not a fugly killer. We don't like fugly killers.

Just the hot ones.

"At the least, soda, and candy."

Utah is gonna be pissed.

Candy is its own food group there.

And have you heard of "dirty soda"?

I didn't either until went to Utah.

"Simply put, a dirty soda is your typical fountain soda, but with added ingredients such as heavy creams, flavored syrups, candy pieces or fruit juices. Similar to an Italian soda, except the dirty soda uses popular soft drinks like Dr. Pepper, Coke, Sprite, or Mountain Dew vs. the traditional club soda that you would find in an Italian soda."

Re 7
There was no period after "policies".

Lies of omission are still lies.

The full quote:

Tuesday's 96-page report concludes that seeking the records of lawmakers and staffers did not violate any Justice Department policies on the books at the time but the move nonetheless "risks chilling Congress's ability to conduct oversight of the executive branch ... and creat[es], at a minimum, the appearance of inappropriate interference by the executive branch in legitimate oversight activity by the legislative branch."

In addition the article states:

The report found the Justice Department did violate some its policies when seeking the communications of eight different journalists at the three outlets.

Did you (purposely) miss that?

then there was this little gem:

CNN reports that Kash Patel, Trump's pick to lead the FBI, was among those whose records were obtained. Patel has previously complained about the matter, writing in a newsletter, "The DOJ illegally spied on me during the Russia Gate investigation!" Patel last year sued the Justice Department for secretly seeking access to his personal email account.

It was a "bombshell" then. Just not now. Apparently.

Gosh. I wonder what has changed?

I stopped listening to morning joe after they went down and kissed the ring of the King of the Dotards.

Personally I prefer the talking heads who are NOT arse kissers.

And Russia's economy is a basket case.

They only have to make it one more month and then it's Trumpy to the rescue!

Pretty sure #3 was sarcasm.

If it wasn't intended as sarcasm it was some really great unintentional sarcasm for sure!

Anyway I got it Hag.

It is indeed really great to get back to our "Christian" foundations.

I also look forward to getting back to our Roman roots too and reviving the Coliseum and seeing liberals and lefties and "enemies of the people" being torn apart by lions again, too.

The hoi polloi are restless and need to be Entertained!

Do you have any sense of self awareness?

#22 | POSTED BY CLOWNSHACK

Oooh I know this one!

No.

"What I've said is if we look at human history the overall quality (and longevity) of life has improved exponentially as a result."

Humans have been on earth for 200,000.

Our overall quality of human life has improved "exponentially" several times long before the advent of Capitalism, Communism or Socialism.

It only depended on how wealthy and magnanimous the King Queen Emperor Pharaoh Caesar or Khan, etc. was.

Let's hope our new Emperor and King of the Dotards is as magnanimous as some of them were.

A Jubilee would be nice.

Actually it was when the FBI spied on the Trump campaign.

Actually the FBI spied on the Russian spies who Trumpy "campaign" was communicating with.

Pro tip: Don't communicate with Russian spies if you don't want the FBI to spy on you.

I'm astonished they are armed.

Wait until a Mr Robot fan captures (kidnaps?) one and reprograms it and sends it back to its makers.

I figured as much. Neely was acting like an ------- and got killed for it. Same with Ashli.

#48 | POSTED BY REDIAL

Yup.

Except I would imagine that if acting like an ------- was a crime punishable by death will suddenly be a lot of maga maroon corpses to dispose of.

Trump will happily help Zelenskyy save Ukraine from destruction.

But first he just needs a little favor. Meet him in his office.

Bring your knee pads.

"Show me any time government seizing control of the means of production hasn't resulted in abject failure and human misery."

Nicely done!

You just proved his point ...

"any attempt to fix it for anyone not rich is called Socialism."

Re 38

He just killed him, he didn't murder him.

#39 | POSTED BY REDIAL

Kinda my point. (Which was why it was in quotes) If that wasn't a murder then killing Ashli while she committing a violent crime was not murder.

Even the Gawds are confused..

Exodus 20:13 is translated as "Thou shalt not kill" in the Authorized (King James) Version, but most modern versions translate it as "You shall not murder"

In Christianity killing is ok. Especially if Gawd directs you to kill.

Murder is not. Apparently. That's why MTG is using the term "murder".

It's fine. They are just subhuman vermin anyway. Being subhumans they are not really human so we don't have to treat them with humanity.

Not in the new bananamaga Republic.

Perhaps we should put them in a stadium and let them fight to death for our entertainment. Stream it live on pay per view! The winner gets to be a citizen of this great and merciful republic. Of course we all know they could only be second class citizens and not real citizens.

Problem solved!

"Capitalism is by far the best economy the world has ever seen."

Regulated capitalism.

Unregulated capitalism always leads to ----------------.

I woulda thunk that if a private citizen "murdering" a homeless man on NY subway for just yelling and throwing things is perfectly ok now then a trained policeman "murdering" a violent rioter attacking the Capitol and threatening Congress should be perfectly acceptable.

"3 Days After Election, Biden ... "

How is that possible when we all know Biden frankly lost that election and Trumpy has been the shadow president all this time?

In the Trump case the judge (Merchan) acted so egregiously he should be disbarred.

Four out five dictators agree that you must rule with an iron fist and squash any dissent ruthlessly.

Are you sure he shouldn't be impaled on a spike and left to slowly die and rot along the road to Mara Lardo for all to see and fear the power of the King of Dotards?

"her father's .380 caliber handgun fell out of the box and discharged and shot him in the head."

Guns kill people.

It's a hell of a lot better than Socialism or Communism.

#25 | POSTED BY BELLRINGER

Are we listing things capitalism is better than?

It's also much better than a sharp stick in the eye!

It's also better than being tossed into a fire!

Also better than being cooked and eaten!

It's even better than the vacuum of space!
