  1. I saw something from the AP less than a week ago on this, are you saying it's already in practice or is it still early stages? I don't see this one passing any court challenges. Or do you know otherwise?
  2. By what's coming: LOL. This guy is something else. If he didn't have the ability to give neg rep he'd have nothing at all. Sad!
  3. "Absolutely Fucking Asinine." LOL. Here's Bernie Sanders a month ago. We can get into more details if you want but this is the gist of what I was saying. Lobbying is out of control and stop pretending like that's materially different than how billionaires directly or indirectly influence what happens in DC. Get rid of Lobbying completely? Not at all what I'm saying, that's actually asinine but it certainly should be brought under control. Completely laughable if you think the billionaires I mentioned aren't in the same fight.
  4. Honestly, how would anyone ever really know but no, that's not what I'm saying happened in the past nor do I remotely worry about any real form of literal human executions happening now because someone interpreted something wrong and created a "scary sounding" narrative that's gone viral. What I'm saying is that both parties have always been heavily influenced by billionaires and even in this election cycle, more billionaires supported Kamala at last check than did Trump, and it really wasn't close.
  5. I'm sorry I'm not as enlightened as you, but keep your finger clicking on that neg rep...it's doing you wonders. Notice I haven't hit you once.
  6. I agree with that, mostly. I find the narcissism angle interesting...if you follow Google and the 5 characteristics they describe of Narcissists...Trump clearly is above all others in the "grandiose sense of self-worth." BUT, looking at the other traits you can pretty much put any career member of Congress or politician in there and all would qualify for all four remaining traits. I'll wait and see on the government responsibility aspect. It gives me pause too but in some ways I'd rather it be out in the open than things happening behind the scenes without any visibility at all. DC is still MOSTLY made up of lobbyists, that needs to change.
  7. "you people." LOL. I don't disagree with you, "normal" has long been billionaires wielding tremendous influence behind the scenes, which absolutely includes the targeting of specific laws, industries, people, and positions they don't like or that challenge their philosophies or ways of life. It is very different this time being put on full display. We shall see what difference it amounts to, personally I don't think a lot happens.
  8. I don't know all that much about them other than the references I see are generally neutral, if not positive. Who is telling you they have "no" credibility?
  9. If you don't understand how politics work I can't help you. Billionaires having considerable influence on politicians is nothing new.
  10. It's not wild at all. Is this your first experience with this? The Brookings institute did some studies a decade ago, long before Musk rose to real public fame/notoriety...and a few names of billionaires leading the way with political influence at the time included but were not limited to: Bill & Melinda Gates George Soros Michael Bloomberg Tom Steyer Mark Zuckerberg
  11. Someone CRing the thread? LOL. Sad! RIP, Woolery.
  12. Weagle weagle war damn eagle, kick em in the butt big blue, hey! Fuck A&M
  13. This stadium used to the boos.
  14. Goddamn how old is Mike, like 58?
  15. When you think about it...did ANYONE get a face tattoo before Mike? Dude's an OG badass
  16. These guys have beaten each other to shit.
  17. I'm streaming from a PC with 1gb up/down and no problems at all. Haven't tried on an Apple TV or Firestick.
  18. It is the literal opposite of what got us into Iraq (2001) and Afghanistan (2001).
  19. Ironically this all really is gonna wind up being a consequential part of Trump’s economy.
