With Trump ostensibly no longer fucking up the entire space-time continuum, who (or what) will get most of the blame for your disappointment?
-
Citizens United. It used be about more power than money. That's not true anymore. Capitalism needs more regulation or it will go the way of the buffalo.
-
Capitalism is going to be shot from trains to the brink of extinction and then repopulated in small (and very inbred) herds near tourist sites across the American Great Plains and West?
-
If buffaloes can't fly, why do they have wings?
-
I thought this was why we had a WTF Joe Biden thread..... I'll blame Tony LaRussa, Brad Underwood, Brett Bielema, Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy. The Hawks are beyond disappointing at this point.
-
Tucker Carlson is blameworthy.
-
This thread is bait!! Stay away😂💀🎣

Ever been to the Buffalo Bill museum? He was a very interesting man. Although he started out as a sharpshooter to keep buffalo off the rail tracks, the chapters he wrote after that paint a different picture. His Wild West shows were massive and he employed a lot of folks at fair wages. The fact that he paid red, white, black and yes, even women, equally was unheard of at the time. When we entered WWI, he consulted for the military on the logistics of transporting troops, equipment, and supplies overseas. His expertise gleaned from shipping his shows all over the world was a revelation and had a lasting impact on our military.

JudgeJudy is right. But I'm weak and can’t help myself.
Now that the unfit “I alone can fix it” toddler is gone, I think we can go back to blaming the President, Congress, Madigan and fluoridation for all our troubles.

nothing will stop them for shitting on trump for the next 4-8 years, same with Trump blaming Obama for anything wrong and Obama blaming Bush for anything wrong, etc. etc.

yeah thats what we need more government to stop the government and corporations from seizing more power
lol
I do agree that foreign influence in our elections through superpacs and 403C's has hit an outrageous level and citizens united needs to go the fuck away years ago
Americans should be the only ones financing our elections... then again its probably just payback for our meddling in other countries elections over the last few centuries

QAnon97 may want to join Custard in reflecting on whether he wants to be on the same intellectual team as JudgeJudy.

Yeah you’re just a troll, so really not even worth a response. Honestly shouldn’t even have given you this one.

While the qanon97 nickname is cute, I'm not sure where its coming from since I called it a LARP about a half dozen times and personally think they are retarded, but go with it if it makes you laugh I suppose

Once you find yourself more concerned with who said something than what was actually said, your objectivity is completely gone.
There are a million different topics and lots of different ways to feel about each one. As someone who champions free thought and abhors group think/identity politics, I must also accept there are going to be times when feeling a certain way about a particular topic might seem to align me with a group that maybe I’d rather not be aligned with. Doesn’t mean I belong to that group or share any other values with them, but essentially that’s what it’s come to mean in this divided society. “If you don’t agree with me on everything we can’t agree on anything.” Everyone is constantly on the lookout for “one of them”
It’s not really one or two topics that matter, it’s where a person falls across a broad spectrum of topics that begins to define their worldview. Group think, “reprogramming” and this constant suspicion about our fellow countrymenandwomen is incredibly dangerous.

We are talking about JudgeJudy here; not Keynes versus Hayek in economic philosophy.

You’re talking about Judge Judy. I was talking about Salma Hayek.

I'd still do her if she was Klan member....

Now that is good message board comedy.
