> create 25 million jobs

are there 25 million unemployed in the states?

koogs, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:57 (seven years ago) link

No, but once they eliminate the minimum wage, a whole lot of people will need some of those 25 million jobs. It's very forward thinking of the administration.

you guys need to pay better attention, Trump also promised to create 25 million people

waht, I am true black metal worrior (Neanderthal), Friday, 10 March 2017 16:00 (seven years ago) link

And I don't even think they're counting the jobs that will open up once people start dying in droves in their newly deregulated workplaces.

you can really taste the poor

kinda gamey

has US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson (recipient of the Russian Order of Friendship) explained yet why Wikileaks made public the CIA's cyber-espionage protocols and tactics? if i were comrade combover, i'd tell US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson (recipient of the Russian Order of Friendship) to blame it all on obama, and sic chaffetz back on hillz pronto, then lift the Crimean sanctions just to show the liberals who's boss. major tax cuts are at stake!

Wait, are you saying you haven't heard any of the administration's vehement outrage towards Wikileaks over their dissemination of classified information? How could you possibly have missed it? They're completely livid about this outrageous violation and have vowed to take every possible step towards bringing Assange & co. to justice. As you would expect a presidential administration to do. You really should pay more attention to the news, friend.

Or maybe Turnip just made a jerk off motion at a camera while making a fart sound with his mouth. I can't remember which of those two things happened.

Sam Brownback might get out of Kansas: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/03/sam-brownback-might-not-be-governing-kansas-much-longer/519165/?utm_source=atltw

It's non sequiturs like this that really underlines to me how shitty republicans are: Brownback suffered his latest blow last week, when the Kansas Supreme Court ruled that the state’s funding of public schools violated the constitutional rights of minority students.

I'd been trying to discern when exactly the parties initially flipped and I had assumed it was a gradual process but based on something I was reading yesterday it sounds like it was more or less an instantaneous, catastrophic shift at the '64 GOP convention? And almost entirely (and unsurprisingly) because of race?

it isn't one moment, i wdn't say

don't forget there was a race brouhaha at the '64 Dem convention (two competing Mississippi delegations, one w/ Fannie Lou Hamer)

xxp

I mean, I get that it was a confluence of a number of factors, but it seems like even a lot of GOP-ers were caught off guard by the sudden shift towards Goldwater extremism.

Nixon cut deal with Strom Thurmond in '68. That helped.

you still have liberal/centrist Republicans (like Jacob Javits) through the '70s

huh in that CJR stuff both beetbort and huffpo are a lot bigger in share qty than I woulda guessed vs old/"regular" media. sorta think huffpo seems more disproportionate to me.

CJR could have also pointed out that breitbart infected the NYT and WaPo itself - by funding the work that produced Clinton Cash, which the WaPo and NYT then gained 'exclusive' publishing rights to the early scoops.

jobs report :

“In the past, the president has referred to particular job reports as phony or totally fiction,” a reporter asked. “Does the president believe that this jobs report was accurate and a fair way to measure the economy?”
“I talked to the president prior to this, and he said to quote them very clearly,” Spicer said. “They may have been phony in the past, but it’s very real now.”

It's just more of the extremist tribalism this administration traffics in. That thing the other side did was awful but it's amazing when we do the exact same thing. There's no more nuance to it than that, and people who are inclined just eat it up.

7/4/16 -- Happy Birthday, America / first tranche of Hillary's emails sent out by Wikileaks

7/22/16 -- DNC's emails published by Wikileaks . . . three days before the DNC convention

10/7/16 -- 'Access Hollywood' "grab em by the pussy" tape leaked / third tranche of DNC emails leaked . . . an hour after the 'Access Hollywood' tapes hit the press

3/7/17 -- Wikileaks exposes all the CIA's cyberwarfare tricks . . . two days before Trumputin pal Nigel Farage visits Julian Assange

if this is what it takes to finally get to the bottom of barry soetero's real birth certificate, then fine

this is only unusual inasmuch as its being done heavy-handedly and incompetently (ie predictably)

I wouldn't care -- every administration does this and why not -- if the attorney general weren't a colossal dick who's going to appoint more colossal dicks.
