  1. trump lies every time he speaks. There isn't a recorded instance of him speaking for more than five minutes without a minimum of one statement that is 0.5 or more lie. This isn't helped, of course by his syphilis-driven dementia which causes him to forget the lie that he made just ten seconds earlier.

  2. nice... Way to show those toothless hillbillies. j/k, I like the flyover states.

    I don't think any of your proposals would actually fix your situation. It sounds like you should live in Nevada and maybe y'all should group clients by timezone and assign them to local case managers that way. But I'm sure its much more complicated than that .

    Actually, it sounds like he was from Texas originally so... Now you're off insulting Texans, but maybe you didn't catch it because you're really from Alabama and just moved to California because it's fantastic to be here.

    I would imagine that almost everyone posting here does in fact have the choice to leave work an hour or three early. Because we aren't widget makers or construction workers. Most are salaried employees who can, at the very least, choose their work hours.

    Yeah, Kalifornia, the 6th largest economy on the planet. Step off you retrograde hillbilly and continue to enjoy the excess $$ that Kalifornia contributes to the Federal government. It allows leecher states (probably yours) to keep on hating progress and all the things that our hyper-productive economy brings you.

    We'll have single-payer health care soon to so... better get your hoop-dee working so you can make the trip to Californee.

    Cali-fucking-fornia to you bitches!

    Maybe in the 1990's and before. Nowadays we have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, YouTube, endless porn, DVRs, etc. I think that outside of geriatric wards very few people organize their lives around evening television schedules.

  7. No, but I'd love to see video of you doing this. LOL just thinking about it.

  8. Everyone does this, it's a well-known and understood mode of recognition. I did it extra when I was younger cause I was nearsighted and didn't wear glasses. Cause I didn't like wearing my free government glasses, because they were so dorky looking.

  9. It very absolutely can. We have for-profit prisons and the for-profit bail industry. 3M and other agricultural industrial companies can put you in jail for their corn and other grains contaminating your crops with their GMOs. What fantasy world are you living in sycophant that you don't see this?

  10. We've got the Patriot Act and other similarly invasive laws so I'm not so sure there's a big difference.

    Murdering congregants in synagogues, churches, clubs, kindergartens. Sending pipe bombs to news stations, politicians, actors and actresses. Attacking the media, colluding with countries that attacked our elections.

    People who are destroying the environment and quality of life for the general population deserve not a moment's peace. We're not going to wait for them to get to hell, we'll bring it to them right here right now. They broke the social contract and thus won't be treated in a civil manner. You can get the same if that's what you're angling for.

    Is it sycodon or sycophant?

    It sounds like the plantation owners took on too much debt and trapped themselves by not having a viable business model outside of the free labor that slavery created. The Brits took advantage of this by purchasing American product at cut-rate prices as they knew they could keep squeezing slave-owners because their product cost them close to zero in labor costs to produce. So it sounds like slavery is the root of the problem and thus the cause of the civil war.


    ...Perhaps if the natives weren't being driven into extinction, a local market might have been created.

    Well. It definitely sounds like you paid attention in philosophy class. Congratulations on being a well-rounded person.

    I'm afraid though that I am no further enlightened in this particular "debate" by your instructive comments.

    Thanks for the link. I read the article and many of the comments.
    What do you think about this one?

    This long-discredited argument borders on silly, and it is discouraging to see it being revived in our local paper. No country in the history of the world ever split asunder over tariffs, and whatever someone says now, Southerners at the time were clear as to why they fought. As Alexander Stephens, the Confederate Vice President, put it a month before the Civil War began: "Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition." Check the document South Carolina adopted four days after the vote to secede from the U.S. Entitled "Confederate States of America - Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union," the document is all about defending slavery and says not a word about tariffs. I could go on, but for more, check out Charles Dew, Apostles of Disunion, published in 2002 by University of Virginia Press. As the New York Times Book Review put it: "This incisive history should dispel the pernicious notion that the Confederacy fought the Civil War to advance the constitutional principle of states' rights and only coincidentally to preserve slavery."

    How did the UK eliminate slavery without a Civil War like the USA had?

  18. Only if they don't have faster than light travel or communication ability. But definitely 50 years minimum, again if we rule out that they can move backward in time.

  19. You're still brutal. Brutally ignorant.

  20. That's not an apology, it's a statement of some of the inarguable facts around the event. It's also not an admission of guilt.

  21. Women and men see a different world. Just like blacks see a different world (cops as unjust oppressors) than whites do.

    What steps does a male take to avoid rape on a day to day basis? .... none if not in prison.
    What steps does a female take to avoid rape on a day to day basis? ... lots, look it up if you care

    My point is that, just because you don't see the sexual harassment doesn't mean it isn't happening.

  22. Lol. Is that what you right wing morons are trying to do now? Did you forget that the WH occupier is a Kremlin sock puppet dictator? We haven't forgotten and you can't redefine reality. I got modded 0/troll so I guess your Russian buddies got a lot of mod points this week. You do seem quite familiar with the ways of your buddies and even know what time zone they're on... You guys are definitely tight. Do they piss on beds for your enjoyment too? I guess that's now a presidential form of entertainment. *sigh*

    P.S.
    Shutting down hate speech with violence is the right and proper reaction. You lose the right to civil treatment when you go down the path of hate.

  23. You wouldn't consider it a pretty good offer? It's way higher than the going rate for a BJ even from a very high-priced call-girl... so I hear.

  24. wtf?

  25. There's zero evidence of the claims you are making. You are parroting the talking points of the very demented and unhinged occupier of the WH and his idiot sycophant followers.
