I'd love to tax the kleptocrat class and pay to fix some of the country's problems, but I'm worried a woman and her doctor might do medicine deemed heresy by my twisted interpretation of a book of fables I never actually read (and may not even believe). Also the gays and brown people scare me, and somehow the only way I can save myself from them is to give Elon Musk ownership of San Francisco.

Something tells me Bill is saying that publicly, then discreetly paying lobbyists to oppose such moves.
US billionaires hold a collective $4.5 Trillion. A 2% wealth tax would be $90 Billion. That's simultaneously a shitload of money that could do so much good, and also a drop in the bucket for the US budget and deficit.
We need to raise taxes on the wealthy so, so much to save this country.
See, we all thought that.
Turns out the problem wasn't that they committed genocide. It's that the genocide was directed at the Jewish people.
And as Netanyahu would have you believe, if you're against Israel, you're against the Jewish people. So that makes you a Nazi.
Flawless logic, clearly.

At this point I can only understand it if I know who's saying it.
That is the most frustrating thing about discussion these days. Everyone using the same words but speaking an entirely different language.
When you don't agree on the definitions of words anymore, or you don't hold yourself to using them in good faith, then you take discussion off the table. You're no longer debating; now you are just arguing. It's one step away from violence.
There are no bad dogs. Only bad dog owners.
Karma is just debt for morality.
The Brood War remaster was actually pretty good, too. It was the last Blizzard product I bought.
Don't you put that evil on me, Ricky Bobby!
Hmm, I see, I see... But, pray tell...
WHAT JUSTICE WAS HE OBSTRUCTING?!
The GOP logic seems to go like this.
- Get accused of crime.
- Illegally block investigation into the original crime.
- Because of your obstruction, insufficient evidence of your original crime is found to force prosecution.
- Now that you blocked the original charges, you can claim it was all bogus. You can't "obstruct justice" if there was no crime in the first place, right?!
So, obstruction of justice is legal now, so long as you succeed. Got it. Thanks.
Also, fuck off. I'm not reading another reply. You are unwilling to discuss this topic in good faith, or you lack the brain cells to do so.
If you think growing up in a conservative household guarantees a kid becomes conservative, you didn't grow up in a conservative household.
And I'm sure there were some relatively nice nazis in WWII Germany. Still nazis.
