Now I'm 26 and I barely ever write anymore? Sadder? Who can tell.

I wonder if, when she got scolded by Chris Christie for “interrupting everyone on stage” as he interrupted her, Carly Fiorina realized the downside of trying to run for the nomination of a deeply misogynistic party when you’re a woman.

Conservative: If that rich liberal believes in paying non-wealthy people more and rich people paying more taxes, how come he doesn’t pay his employees what he wants the minimum wage to be, and why does he use tax shelters and not give the government more money voluntarily?

Liberal: He’s just doing what the law says! It doesn’t matter if he does it until everyone is forced to do it!

Right, because I’m sure all those wealthy liberals who use tax shelters, shady accounting, or just plain don’t pay their taxes right now will just rush to write the government a check if their tax rate goes up to 90% or so. That’s what they’ve been waiting for. And even though they think even the lowest drudge deserves $15 an hour for the least skilled labor possible, they’re still incredibly generous for paying their employees less than that right now.

Liberal “logic”. Meth is probably less destructive for your brain.

I agree. We should redistribute the wealth of all rich liberals. And all the rich conservatives too.

How about we start with redistributing your stuff?

That seems both arbitrary and inefficient, given that I’m neither rich, liberal, nor conservative.

The recent surge of elite media interest in Joe Biden overlooks two crucial facts. The first is that he’s never had a national constituency, failing badly on both presidential runs. Second is that he’s clearly at odds with with the activist energy out there.
But there are more fundamental problems, buried in Biden’s past. If one looks back to his role in the Senate in the early ’90s, one finds him undercutting powerful black women—Anita Hill and Lani Guinier—for “smart” insider reasons that don’t look so good today.

Really hoping he stays out of it.

I love how snarky The Times gets here:

But a cursory Google search suggests the emails in question actually surfaced online in 2013 after a hacker using the handle “Guccifer” breached the email account of Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal and released its contents.

“A cursory Google search” is a sick burn I’m going to have to remember that one.

Still, even if this is old news it seems to argue against the pro-Hillary argument that it’s alright if Clinton was using a private email server because it was super duper secure (though Snowden today already said that was bullshit) if all the messages just ended up on Blumenthal’s (totally insecure) aol.com account.

Whenever I see a libertarian post about economics I want to grab them by the shoulders and yell “SAY’S LAW ISN’T TRUE SUPPLY DOES NOT CREATE IT’S OWN DEMAND!”

We also learned that she helped push oil privatization in Mexico, that she provided diplomatic cover the right wing coup in Honduras, and that she failed to turn over emails revealing that one of her advisers had a huge conflict of interest in the decision to bomb Libya. But hey, why not focus on dumb bullshit instead of corruption and clientelism.

Correlation does not equal causation. You have nothing but unsubstantiated smears. You must get your conspiracy theories from Trey Gowdy. Sad! 

I don’t know what correlation has to do with anything here; we’re not talking about statistics. And these aren’t unsubstantiated claims, they are backed up by emails turned over either by Hillary Clinton or Sidney Blumenthal. You’re going to keep telling yourself what you need to tell yourself, I guess, but denial isn’t healthy.

Wait. So an e-mail was sent and then something was enacted directly because of that specific e-mail? I can’t wait for Hillary to testify. She’ll correct the record *AND* put these clowns in their place. Get your popcorn! 

I said “helped push” not “single-handedly caused.” And LOL if you think the Republicans care about Mexico getting fucked over (yet again) by the United States.

You’re trapped in unthinking partisanship. Go read a god damned book.

LOL oh, ok… “helped push” …that’ll hold up in court! I can’t wait for Hillary’s trial. Stay tuned for when Hillary testifies before the GOP witch-hunt committee!

Here’s my book ^.^

Does she talk about how we should send back Honduran refugee children that are fleeing the violence she helped create? Does she talk about how she helped oil companies open up the rest of the world to fracking? Does she talk about how she gave the Colombian government a pass on murdering union organizers after the Clinton Foundation got cut a big fat check?

If not, you might want to get your money back.

She’ll set the record straight on all criticisms during the debates. I keep telling you. Stay tuned! 

PS: Correlation [Clinton Foundation receiving a check // the Colombian government getting a pass on murdering union organizers] does not equal Causation. I tried to tell you this earlier! Please re-read, Mr. conspiracy theory artist!

I didn’t say there was a cause-effect relationship, you inferred it. As any reasonable person would.

What’s your explanation for her clearing Columbia? Is she just horrifically incompetent at her job? That’s not really any better.
