  1.  It was in the 1990s that New York City, like other urban centers, began its mutation from a multiracial, working-class hub to a repository for global capital, unleashing the nonstop luxury development and shredding of rent regulations that fueled inexorable hikes in rent.

     

    The shockwaves would come in the 2000s and 2010s, when the inevitable result of policies geared toward making cities habitable for the oligarch class drove tens of thousands to homelessness. Their aesthetic shocks the sensibilities of global capital’s megacities: raggedy men and women asking for money or resting on a street corner are discomforting reminders of all the ways the modern society has fundamentally failed its most vulnerable.

    NY Times says free speech is "killing us". I have the same reaction now as when people said video games and rap music were dangerous.  Fucking deranged losers working at the NY Times.

    That's an opinion piece. It's written by someone who does not work at the NYT. You know how these things work, right?

    We'll all be standing in bread lines (because soup lines will be too expensive) and DOTARD will still be talking about how great his economy is. And ~ 40% of the populace will believe it.

    Ha, you and the rest of the suckers will be standing in bread lines. I will be eating all the birds I can get my hands on and washing the plucked meat down my gullet with cups of melted snow.

    I wonder if the plan isn't:

    1) Subpoena Barr

    2) Have Barr refuse to answer questions for some bullshit reason

    3) Hold him in inherent contempt and fine him $10,000/day for noncompliance

    4) Have Trump say "I'll pay the fine" on Twitter (much the same as he said he'd pay the attorneys' fees for the thugs who assaulted hecklers at his rally).

    5) Impeach Trump for obstructing a Congressional investigation based on the direct evidence.

    Do you even 4d chess?

    Mexico will clearly pay the fine.

    Wait a moment! 

    Obummer is the whistleblower ?

    Its all starting to make sense. The pieces are finally coming together....

    Obama does spend a lot of time spying on the Trump Whitehouse.

    His favorite method is to put on a pair of glasses and just pop in to classified briefings telling everyone he's Ben Carson. They can't tell the difference.
