Don't you recognize extortion when it's right in front of your eyes?
In 1934, the Chicago Tribune was an anti-Roosevelt, anti-NIRA, Republican paper. This was during an era of muckraking, too. There was no indication that the statements Maged made after his incarceration were in any way forced.
Ok so first you call it a myth made up by neoliberals, but now that you've found an interpretation that (according to you) makes the whole thing a positive for FDR you're suddenly rewriting your own history.
Hey, you're the jackoff who brought up Jacob Maged. Don't blame me that the poster boy for your agenda disagrees with you.
Why Are Hackers Increasingly Targeting the Healthcare Industry?
Because they're horrible human beings. Real shitstains who would throw a puppy off a bridge for a quarter. Many are probably bedwetters. All sociopaths. May they die horrible deaths and then be forgotten.
So you're suggesting we exclude the people average gun owners have chosen to support
No, I'm saying that a public referendum has never on gun control has never been put to the American citizens. The only ones who have gotten to vote on the issue are people who get paid directly by the NRA.
And I don't think you want it put to a referendum, because the NRA (and its members) will lose:
Oh, this is interesting: Jacob Maged, the dry cleaner who was sentenced to 30 days in jail, later voiced his support for the NRA and the industrial code that he violated, saying that it had actually helped his business survive.
How come you don't read about that in any of the right-wing or neo-liberal sites that talk about him as some martyr to the New Deal? Jacob Maged was a fan of the New Deal.
FDR sent dry cleaners to jail for asking 35 cents to press suits while his executive order mandated them to charge 40 cents
No, he didn't. The NRA was a commission set up by congress and chaired by Clarence Darrow.
The myth that "FDR sent dry cleaners to jail" is from neoliberal and far-right websites that are looking for reasons to smear one of the most popular presidents in US history.
You're normally very sane and logical but I have to point out that your post here is BS. Factory farms meaning industrial slaughterhouses are NOT the same thing as farms using mechanized and automated equipment for harvesting and plant processing.
Factory farms are not the same as industrial slaughterhouses. And I am NOT ordinarily very sane and logical.
I guess the good thing about living down there is that when you order pizza delivery, it shows up on your doorstep at approximately the same temperature as when it came out of the oven no matter how long the trip takes.
You have an extremely immature and irrational definition of "news" to claim a rant picture is "news". Somehow, I am skeptical you call the person with the "F&*k Hillary" poster over their head "news".
If Hillary goes to Scotland, congratulates Scotland on voting to leave the EU (which they didn't) and someone holds up a "Fuck Hillary" poster, then yes it would be news.
We're lucky we can afford not to buy most of our food from factory farms. I live in a place where there's good fresh produce and meat from small producers a short drive away. I've watched how our produce is picked, sorted and packaged, and it's not by robots.
And since we don't eat much in the way of processed foods like Cheetohs, no, our food is not mostly handled by robot.
Ratzo, you almost had a post that wasn't your typical drivel, but then you fucked up (again) with that idiotic link.
That "idiotic link" was a news photo from earlier today. It couldn't possibly be more topical and timely.
Just because you don't happen to like the Scottish lady's message doesn't mean it's not news. Although, to be honest, what her sign says isn't really news to anyone.

Don't tell me, tell the guy a few comments above who compared the Brexit referendum to jackoffs in congress voting on gun control.
You.

If you can make it to the US Senate, they'll pay you a bribe of up to $7.7million.

Did you even look at that 1934 Chicago Tribune story you so proudly cited?

You're skipping an important step:

The people never voted on a referendum on gun control.
It would be interesting to see what a referendum on the issue would look like if you took out all the people who are being funded by the NRA.

Now that sounds like an innovation I can get behind.

Where you getting your pizza now? Rosa's, Pisa Lisa's, Aroma or Crusty's?
If you actually eat real food instead of Cheetohs and diet root beer, that's simply not true. You gotta learn to cook, brother.
The bad news is that you are the toppings.
Roving Pizza Bots...IT'S A COOKBOOK!
It's brave of you to admit your shortcomings.
