When Bush was president 200,000 new jobs was considered anemic
That's not true.
And remember, those 200,000 new jobs have to be offset by the 900,000 we were losing per month at the end of his presidency.
Barack Obama is the first post-WWII president who did not take the economy into a recession at any point in his terms. He took us out of one - a big one - but left it in better shape for President Elect Urinal Cake.
The statistics your study cites only include state and federal prisons. Not county jails.
In most states, if you are caught with small amounts of marijuana, you would find yourself in a township or county lockup. Then you'd have a trial where you''d plead out for no jail time. So, you end up with an arrest and conviction on your record for yes, having a few joints. So the time locked up may be short, but the legal impact on your life can be great.
In Arizona, it's a felony to have ANY amount of marijuana. In Tennessee and Florida, it's a felony to have less than an ounce.
After prohibition of alcohol ended it took decades for per capita consumption of alcohol to reach previous levels. Public health improved in several respects.
If you read the study (I just did), you will find that the way they measure alcohol consumption disregards a lot of the ways people consume alcohol.
Sometimes it take a day or three. It doesn't mean I agree with the website, it means I'm intrigued by something, or "aw hell no" by something.
I think the problem was the harem pants. They offended the French sense of fashion. If he had just gone with the beard and maybe a man-bun, he'd have been on the cover of French Vogue.
I imagine some wannabe jihadi in MC Hammer pants singing "Can't Touch This" in arabic. Don't look at me like that. It's how I deal with the world.
You stupid sack of shit, if the demand for child porn is destroyed, there will be no incentive for child porn to be made, and thus no children will be victimized by being used to make child porn.
Look how well that worked out for drugs.
Locking people up for small amounts of marijuana sure destroyed demand for marijuana oh wait...
apart from the sexy dancers and sexual innuendo being probably too un-pc for current sheltered tastes
Have you watched TV lately? Do you really believe sexy dancers and innuendo are not part of regular TV fare?
There are things that make you laugh that you can still regret laughing at...but that is where comedy can also educate and expose the unpleasant corners of a society
Nothing in this article has a thing to do with Trump! Is slashdot jumping the shark or something?
When it comes right down to it. Trump just isn't that interesting.
Hannah Arendt called it the "banality of evil".
But if you're really missing the Trump news, I'll help you out. We're now up to a 2.5 million vote lead for Hillary. You know that's got to frost Trump's cornflakes. And speaking of cornflakes, Trump supporters are now pushing a boycott of Kellogs since Kellogs pulled their ads from Breitbart because, and I quote, "That place is a real shit show of fake news and crap-posting, racism, bigotry and hatred. We might as well advertise on fucking Stormfront." That's not an exact quote as far as I know, but it could be.
The kicker is that they're calling this boycott #DumpKellogs and to show Kellogs they mean business, they're buying Kellogs products and taking selfies of them dumping the products into the garbage. Pure genius, I tell you. This comes on the heels of the successful Hamilton and Starbucks boycotts.
Also, to prove he's gonna drain the swamp and fight for the little guy, Donald Trump, Mitt Romney and something called a "Reince Priebus" had a swank dinner last night at some fancy French restaurant (a Trump property) called Pepe Lepew's or something. They had (I'm not making this up), frog legs and fresh marshmallows. The intimate dinner for three cost over $1000, even though they didn't drink wine or any other spirits. Trump made Romney strip down to his magic underwear and suck his dick, but only after Mitt bussed the table and apologize for having better hair than Trump.
I'm pretty sure that brings you up to date on all the Trump news you need to hear. Oh, and he's appointing some Goldman Sachs billionaire named Mnuchin to run the Treasury Department. Consider the swamp drained.
Taking $60 million from down-ballot campaigns [politico.com] and giving it to the Clinton campaign so she could defeat Bernie Sanders doesn't seem like such a good move now, does it?
There's more where that came from.
And now that every single thing that's going to happen in government after Jan 20 is squarely on the shoulders of the Republican Party and President-Elect Urinal Cake, they probably won't really need that much money.
psst... Just so you know Andrew Jackson was a Democrat (and is even considered by some the founder of the party) and a pretty horrible person oh and one of the worst presidents ever. "Trail of Tears" that was his doing.
The Trail of Tears happened because the SJW Cherokees were trying to block the 19th century equivalent of the Dakota Pipeline.
Are you standing with the anti-#DAPL protestors? Speak up.
The country did, including lots of Democrats thoroughly tired of the DNC's BS and the Dem power structure's utter contempt for the people it wants to rule.
Except more voters chose the Democrat. Other than that, you've got a point.
Sure. My point is that you can find Democrats who aren't fascists. Ron Wyden is one. When push comes to shove, the GOP will line up and support fascists.

Real median income (in inflation-adjusted dollars) is higher today than it was at any time during the Reagan Administration.

[...goes on to provide anecdotes.]
No, average incomes are not down.
No, they are not. You're talking about the U6 rate and it was at 14.9% and today it is at 9.7%

...on the bump on the branch on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea.
The jihadis were supported and armed by Ronald Reagan. Was he a collectivist?
You're using terms you don't understand to explain a history that is just wrong.

You're right. We need to keep an eye on his Twitter account.
Trump has not held a press conference and answered any questions since July 27, so Twitter and 8chan are our best bet.

My sincere prayer is that Donald Trump will have to make the argument that corporations should be forced to serve people who violate their policies.
That would be sweet sweet karma.

Not a bit. Benny H never made fun of wogs, so you would probably call him PC.
Fat lot you know, you cunt. All of the Benny Hill shows have been torrented. And it's "weak".

This issue has not come before the Court since it's been a 4-4 mix. The last time this issue came up to SCOTUS, it was under Republican control.
I'll bet Melania would comply.
Direct deposit.
