US Politics, October 2019 — I guess statement you could say with thread. I made a thread. The thread was PERFECT.

maga! (markup all grain alcohol)

Isn't it because the tariff is 25% of the price, so in order to still have the original price you need to add 33%, since 25%*1,33=1,00.

frig. I've already turned our chest freezer into a beer fermenting chamber. Now there goes the bathtub.

Cheese is already crazy expensive in the US. Blah.

these are worthwhile because they will help boeing make better self-crashing planes

xps it's because you DIVIDE by markup, i.e. 50/0.75 (25%) = 66.6 which is the same as 50 * 1.333

I think.

President teetotal raises taxes on booze, checks out

Ok - sorry for the maths derail :) It's a lot, either way.

it's a fun thread for a maths derail because half the people on this thread probably had math and science funding cut for their schools so they could spend extra time considering the theory of creationism

i love how the photo in that rudy subway ad is the heaven's gate guy

I was shockingly old when I learned that Rudy is not, in fact, the Heaven's Gate guy. Coulda sworn.

the crazyrudylaw website works now. That phone number was on the Michael Cohen Fixer ads too.

But he loves Scotland!

He can admit it all he wants, seeking foreign dirt on a political rival is fine when a Republican does it.

I wouldn't trust anyone this stupid with a pair of scissors.

Someone please hand him a pair of scissors. And then, I dunno, tell him he has a fly on his forehead.

Well then:

Trump admits he asked Ukraine to dig up dirt on Biden, and asks China to do the same. Like Nixon telling America "I ordered the break in." pic.twitter.com/Zw3aZby4uc

"now they're trying to do it the opposite way but they got rid."

cue the evergreen jesse farrar tweet

The guy has not had to withstand any single consequence for his actions in 73 years, why do people expect him to start fearing them now?

crooked and much more than that if was me then everybody was fifty thousand and investigate China and other words I am saying

I'm going to be like those people that go to South America for dental and plastic surgeries, except to Europe for cheese and Scotch

Like if his face opened and nothing came out but fax noises people would still stroke their chins and nod and write think pieces about what exactly he meant by AFPO8DSHLAVBKJAB13948HBKFJBABADFKJHALDJFVK

The Voynich manuscript made flesh.

xpost ok, what sleeve said above "DIVIDE by markup, i.e. 50/0.75 (25%) = 66.6 which is the same as 50 * 1.333" is correct. and this is a “general” formula for wine and spirits pricing in the US. There are variables, distributors sometimes and retailers use different margins.

They say Crowdstrike... I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation...I think you're surrounding yourself with I don't know, I don't know, I just know I'm a patriot and that's my life. HBO...the people, the country...but when you have a foreign nation that has your information and does not tell you whether it's legitimate or not...that's something that's gonna blow your mind in a different way than watching, or listening to, an American who believes that he's just like me....you do a lot in the public sphere that are not well-served, well-understood, well-considered. And so, I don't know how this ends, at the end of the day. It will just be...people will say well how many more people?

the AI has found its perfect use case

all it's missing is "we'll see what happens" at the end

"Better Alec Baldwin"

Is this a rare instance where a Beto-style "enough of this bullshit!" response might get some traction?

So apparently at Fox News you can parrot a wide range of conspiracy theories & falsely claim white supremacy is a “hoax,” but saying this gets you fired?

I’m just trying to figure out where the line is 🤷🏽‍♀️

After all, how was he supposed to know this was below their standards? https://t.co/qELhdI9MT8

Sorry, that string of random AI-generated text is just way too coherent to pass as a Trumpian utterance.

"We worship the pagan god Moloch, and don't you forget it!"

todd starnes is out of his mind

everyone knows we worship Baal

Ok doubling down on asking foreign countries to do sham investigations on the Bidens is pretty funny.

Why didn’t he just have Barr open an investigation himself?

He’s not above that. He re-opened the hillary investigation

I haven't heard anyone invoke Moloch since Allen Ginsberg, but i'm never at the cool parties

what sleeve said above [...] is correct.

I'm glad we got this sorted out, Yerac!

I thought we were worshiping Mammon. I've been getting this wrong.

I mean, I ride hard for Prince Stolas, too

I guess my vague awareness of Moloch's existence might look like devout worship from the perspective of god-fearing republicans who make a game of pissing daily into the face of their own deity of choice.

I don't know why Republicans always want to paint our child sacrificing as some kind of religious thing

It's gotta be the embroidered robes.
