Deleted, what did this say?

 

he praised her for her fight (or something like that) on national television the day before the ad ran.

edit: exact quote "She doesn't quit. She doesn't give up. I respect that. I tell it like it is. She's a fighter."

 

Hmmm. Now I don't remember.

 

It represents a set of elites insulated from public accountability. Its developments link up the broader changes in the character of the world economy and social policy that manifests in rationalized management by experts that are ostensibly objective, but whose outcomes decisively hurt the most vulnerable. As a result, their conclusions are depoliticized because they is based on "facts" or "realism" and that obfuscates the actual interests that underlie their interventions. So, for example, one might say that they want experts on economics making policy, but what have the experts offered up in terms of policy: debt reduction, entitlement reform, tax breaks for business, etc., all of which is treated as objective fact, rather than something to be contested, so one ends up with economic policy that does not actually help the public itself, yet provides record profits for the private sector.

 

He'll form a sovereign nation with his supporters, actually that would be amazing

 

Sad

 

Yes, but it will be on Pay-Per-View and you'll have to pay twenty dollars to see it, and it'll primarily consist of Trump telling people that Billy Bush was a plant by the Clinton campaign.

 

That's a very bad statement

 

damn the GOP is full of spineless cowards who would've thought?


well, everyone

 

This is actually an interesting topic.

The right has now universally trended towards hyper masculinity and brazenness. I wonder if Glenn Beck's sappy crying patriot bit is now out of favor now that people are initiating cyber wars instead of lamenting about the future

lol

Considering the revelations of Democrat corruption always trace back to their private financing, I don't think we'll have to worry about the Green Party.

 

Marco Rube.

 

Anyone know of a good fact check transcript for the 2nd debate like they did for the 1st one?

 

How deluded do you have to be to think Rubio and Clinton disagree on "virtually everything" lol

 

Someone put a pride flag in the hand of our LBJ statue on campus. Love it.

 

“Would I support one candidate against another? Yes, for two minutes—the amount of time it takes to pull the lever down in the voting booth. But before and after those two minutes, our time, our energy, should be spent in educating, agitating, organizing our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the neighborhood, in the schools. Our objective should be to build, painstakingly, patiently but energetically, a movement that, when it reaches a certain critical mass, would shake whoever is in the White House, in Congress, into changing national policy on matters of war and social justice.” -Howard Zinn

"A powerful surveillance program that police used for tracking racially charged protests in Baltimore and Ferguson, Mo., relied on special feeds of user data provided by Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, according to an ACLU blog post published Tuesday.

The companies reportedly provided the data — often including the locations of users — to Geofeedia, a Chicago-based company that says it analyzes social media posts to deliver surveillance information to 500 law enforcement agencies. The social media companies sought to restrict Geofeedia’s access to the streams of user data in recent weeks after the ACLU discovered them and alerted the companies about looming public exposure."

Facebook, Twitter and Instagram sent feeds that helped police track minorities in Ferguson and Baltimore, report says

 

i feel comfortable estimating that greater than 60% of the Republican base believes hillary is a full blown socialist.

 

anyone who uses the term alpha should get a giant atomic wedgie.

 

He likes red pills a bit too much.

Also, is totally Patrick Bateman

 

That last bit about employers thinking they produce jobs reminds me of a section from The Origin of Capitalism (which I just so happen to have on my desk right now lol)

"Traditional ruling classes in a pre-capitalist society, passively appropriating rents from dependent peasants, would never think of themselves as 'producers'. The kind of appropriation that can be called 'productive' is distinctively capitalist. It implies that property is used actively, not for conspicuous consumption but for investment and increasing profit. Wealth is acquired not simply by using coercive force to extract more surplus labour from direct producers, in the manner of rentier aristocrats, nor by buying cheap and selling dear like pre-capitalist merchants, but by increasing labour-productivity."
