Canibalism at its finest.

Thanks

I think this is the appropriate time for someone to link the video of the hot/crazy chick matrix.

I think that one is long dead after one of the board crashes. Yes it was about the legality of CD DVD copying.

History is filled with self-hating Jews leading other Jews into the inferno well before the early & mid 20th century. You can say that dissent and disagreement is built into Jewish DNA. Doesn't make Omar's comments any less antisemitic. The fact that you bring up the UN's resolutions into this discussion proves my point. The UN, by and large, is antisemitic. There's a direct linkage to the former 3rd world Soviet satellites.

In the past month, she's referenced Jewish control of the chambers by buying them out, then specifically accused Israel supporters of having a dual loyalty. So yeah, it's not like she funded a particular float in a Brussels parade, but these particular dog whistles are very loud.

The story lines up nicely when you cherry pick the data, such as totally ignoring the spending blowouts related to the financial collapse and Bush bringing the wars on budget. So, yes, AFTER you ignore the nearly $800 billion budget buildup in FYs 2008-2009, Obama looks like a fiscal saint, especially as the war spending died down and interest rates plummeted. There was a massive step up in spending, which was never reversed in Obama's terms. That also includes the $871 billion stimulous that is emblematic of socialist top down planning. The money was allocated, spent and did nothing to grow the economy. Although Obama signed laws that improved corporate profits, they were all below the operating profit (EBITDA) items that didn't aid in true economic growth. The question you keep avoiding is why if Obama was such a champion of business, why did he preside over the worst economic recovery, when a dead cat bounce was bound to produce average returns? Why did executive after executive proclaim between 2009 and 2011 that they'd be crazy to grow staff, unless they absolutely had to? Why did that attitude suddenly change in November 2016, and the results prove it. There's more to true economic growth than a government throwing money at the problem. Your deficit spending argument doesn't work in all situations. When government spends more in the aftermath of a crisis, it's a short term catalyst. But that in itself does not create a sustainable environment for businesses to continue investing. They'll sit as long as possible on depreciated assets and will not reinvest until it's absolutely necessary. That's the whole point of the OP. The entire business climate changed overnight.

I hear they are amazing dancers.

The difference is that we know The Dude is racist, while you're masquerading as not

Will respond fully later on, but do I like how you position the results from a forced sequestration in 2013 as evidence of Obama's conservative nature. That's why there can't be an honest dialogue.

It's worse than a contradiction, it's totally hypocritical and typical of socialist mindset. Why take the time and effort to build something on your own, when it's just as easy to appropriate what someone else built and then call it your own? I really feel sorry for Bernie's cause because it's hard to win as an independent. But I know, the NEXT time socialists try something, it will surely work.

Ben Shapiro had a great interview with Dan Crenshaw over the weekend. They brought up a very good point about lobbyist effectiveness - if it were that easy to bribe a lawmaker, why don't lobbyists have 100% success rates if all it takes is throwing money at the problem?

Oh no you didn't. Our friend once noted that pointing the fact that Nordics are largely homogeneous societies, is racist.

Always look at the root cause of the deficit, first. Government spending increased at roughly the same rate as before. The deficit is growing faster because tax revenues are down, as expected in first year following a big tax cut. But that's a good thing. This is almost a two decade debate between the professor and me. I'll allow @TPS to frame his opinion, but he almost always discusses a deficit from a government expansion standpoint (such as above). I usually correct him by differentiating the cause of the deficit - was it from government expansion or reduced revenues (taxes). Even in that, the cause is important. Why did gov't expenditures rise? Stimulous? Military spending? Entitlements? Same on the revenue side - a smaller tax take from lowered tax rate is a lot different than reduced tax revenues from a recession. TPS keeps discussing Trump's policies in the expansionary realm because deficits are expanding, citing the phantom term "deficit spending," which is totally misleading because it depends on the causes outlined above. The last 10 years is the perfect illustration why TPS and Keynesians are historically wrong. If the theory was correct, Obama's unprecedented government intervention and stimuli should have resulted in spectacular growth following a massive collapse. Instead we got eight Summers of Recovery that never happened. This definitively proves that government cannot force economic growth, no matter how much money it pours into the problem, without freeing private enterprise to actually drive that growth. That's the biggest difference in the philosophies, and I'm still waiting for TPS to admit the obvious. That's not to say that Keynesianism is totally useless. It is a great tool to prevent total meltdowns, like where we were in 2009. But nobody should be deluding themselves that preventing a meltdown is the same thing as driving true economic growth. I've beat my head on the wall forever about this - look no further than EU economies. If people are content with 0% economic growth and persistent double digit unemployment, go at it elect AOC and Bernie. BTW, those numbers are overly optimistic, because at that point you also wouldn't have US propping up the global economies anymore. Then take it one step further and imagine what happens in a world where there's a protracted economic downturn? Yeay, Socialism!!

Funny how corruption and greed only exist in highly competitive private enterprises, but never ever in government or monopolies created by the government. That's why you're an idiot.

Are you trying to raise my blood pressure on purpose? The deficit and economy are growing because people get to keep more of their earnings, not because govt is ballooning its spending in a cocamamie scheme to boost the economy. That's a huge difference. Obama was a Keynesian.

What happened to Sweden? I miss Sweden.

And in not keeping with the theme, he forgot to thank me. Even though I was more prominent in Sue Homework thread, Retatta is my favorite. My rank Retatta Homework Tracy Lee

Did I just witness a woman who covers her head in public berate another woman for being beholden to patriarchy?

Alrighty smarty pants. Tell me all you know about Shaun McCutcheon.

You need to brush up on your TSW folklore to understand the Sue reference. I haven't seen any ties between JCN and the FEC complaint. I think JCN is after her in NYC. The FEC complaint was filed by the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, whoever they are.

As is nearly always the case with Trump, he could have achieved the same goal without the creepy hugging of the flag. Because now, it gave an opening to his opponents to laugh at him, without appearing that they're laughing at the flag. Because Trump gotta be Trump.

It's criticized because Trump in being Trump made it look very awkward. I file it in the same category as him proclaiming that the Bible was his favorite book.

Or he was going for the cheap visual.

Really? I don't think you can attribute a 9 to 1 TD ratio solely to QB play
