US Politics, February 2018: Our country was founded by geniuses, but it’s being run by idiots

We have to be tough on stock market and come to a deal. Dems won't.

Ask ten economics what the reason for the "flash crash" is and you'll get ten different answers. All ten would agree that Trump knows nothing about how the stock market actually works.

xp heh

Bad Stock Market won't make a deal! Not on Team Trump, watching only Fake News Award Winning CNN. A shame for America, but we will fight!!

He should try screaming at the stock market, maybe try to strong arm the stock market into apologizing for making such a big mistake. Bad stock market.

He is just such a dumb fuck.

Un-American, treasonous stock market

What about stock market's emails? We had the biggest stock market and now it's the smallest stock market. And I have it on good authority that illegal immigrants comprise at least half of the stock market. We should build a wall around the stock market and lock it up. Make the stock market great again!

River keeps flowing down. Predictable! Sad!

Clouds hang in air, completely silent. Scared? Low energy!

Water has no fixed shape and yields easily to external pressure. No spine! MAGA

Proud Mary keep on touryning

old lunch's last post reminds me of this

Obama is giving free stuff to refugees to attack whites

thanks obama

The Deep State is funding refugees to impose Sharia Law.

Well, yeah.

Rev. Al Sharpton is giving free stuff to illegal aliens to impose Sharia law.

I think we've cracked this one wide open.

it is a little uncanny how none of these headlines would surprise me coming from any number of sources .

i don't mean to add to a bunch of posts that are just pivoting off that meme but "the muslim brotherhood is arming james comey to attack whites" was real hilarious to me

Black Lives Matter is teaming with trans people to begin white genocide.

Fuck yeah.

hey maybe just a little legitimate, not RW media-manufactured threat of white genocide could move the Overton Window the correct way for once.

^yes i shouldve put the stricken portion in parentheses

how will woke whites indicate that they should not be part of the genocide?

is there like a wristband they should wear or something?

asking for a friend

the wokest whites will happily hop into the rending machines imo

> Obama is giving free stuff to refugees to attack whites

constant, total war

xpost But in return we get the truth!

That AP article is gross but thoroughly unsurprising. The GOP clings to power by cheating as hard as they can.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate’s top Republican says there’s Senate agreement on a two-year, almost $400 billion budget deal that would provide Pentagon and domestic programs with huge spending increases.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced the pact, joined on the Senate floor by top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York. It would contain almost $300 billion over current limits on defense and domestic accounts.

McConnell said the measure would rewrite existing defense limits that have “hamstrung our armed forces and jeopardized our national security.”

The measure, aides said, also contains almost $90 billion in overdue disaster aid and an increase in the government borrowing cap that would prevent a first-ever U.S. government default on its obligations.

chances of this passing the house?

no mention of immigration, dreamers, the wall, etc

Black Lives Matter Is Combining With College Students To Overthrow Capitalism. Alright!!!! (xps)

xpost Oh, they'll be conscripted into the military, which will in turn be building the wall.

oh hooray more defense spending. what a stupid fucking country.

How the GOP gerrymandered its way to 2010 and 2012

With all that defense spending you're going to need a war soon iirc

Serious question: would the GOP be completely marginalized at this point if they didn't bend every electoral rule they can get their hands on?

"completely" no but

just how much extra money has been spent on the opioid crisis that Trump declared an emergency ?

*crickets*

611 billion dollars is only a little less than the gdp of Saudi Arabia fyi

If you could save $100,000/year, it would take you 6,110,000 years to save 611 billion dollars. If you could save $10,000 every single day, then it would only take you 167,397 years to save 611 billion.

It's probably millions. Do you have any idea how expensive quality opioids are, man?

I spend tens of thousands on my own opioid crisis every year.

It would be cool if the next president repurposed ICE to shut down e.g. the 'clinic' in my mom's microtown which always has the blinds pulled and always has multiple out-of-state cars parked out front and might as well have a neon sign reading 'Dr. Feelgood' above the door.

why do u hate the entrepreneurial spirit of small-town physicians
