Doubt many CEOs shop at Walmart, otherwise it would totally be terrorism charges.

Ahh yes, efficiency to “improve the … stewardship of taxpayer dollars”. So instead of actually delivering better services, they can more efficiently deny those services. Sound familiar?

Question: can you just use the image of a US president to sell things? What if you’re based in China? Asking for a friend.

Libs are carrying water for the opposition when they give in to the border security scare.

Shareholders can’t stop talking about this one trick to make their stocks go up.

I feel like you could fund a hit squad with the market signals that happen after offing an executive.

The reminds me of what Zizek said of the liberals: they are very cynical. “We need to do things we don’t believe are good, maybe even bad, but it works”

It’s in the best interest of the DNC to adopt policies and campaign approaches that have the best chance of winning.

Don’t blame me, I voted for Dr Eggman.

Nah, this is why citizens need guns. If a good guy with a gun was there then the body count would have been much lower. The car incident is why we should also give people their own personal shoulder mounted RPG.

Surrendering power and appeasing dictators, famous for not backfiring. /s

Underated article. Do not surrender political space, find community, trust yourself, make strange alliances.

History starts when I say it does
