The enrich flour conservatives are using to make the butter biscuits they are giving to Elder is more potent than pure uncut fentanyl

Mans is right of @aepps20

I think Elder owns the butter biscuit factory and gets high off the sugar cane and wheat fumes.

The funny/sad thing about his comment is that this is exactly how the British abolished slavery: they paid off the slaveowners and everybody else that was involved in the trade EXCEPT those whose labor and humanity were exploited.

Yeah the way the Dems stimulus package is being described makes it sound way larger than it is. If they max out the bill, it would cost less than Trump's tax cut

I was thinking about something earlier today.

When Obama was President, the way to oppose domestic spending on constituencies, that you didn’t like, was to complain about debt and deficit.

Now that Biden is President, conservatives still do trot out unctuous concern about debt and deficits but the new tool for opposing social spending is inflation.

I realized that when you only complain about debt and deficits, you can only demonize people who receive low income benefits. With inflation!, you can now demonize younger people, poor people, people of color who have jobs and earn too much to qualify for public assistance.

Conservatives just pull a number out if there ***, e.g “fast food workers should only make $9/hr” then they see a story about how McDonalds is offering $13/hr and suddenly conservatives can blame high gas prices, high rents, big price increases on many types of food, on the working poor.

It’s devious as hell. It’s no longer the case that “welfare queens” are people who are unemployed and/or collecting public assistance, it’s now the case that people, who work and collect no benefits at all, are also “welfare queens.”

Andrew Yang to launch a third party

The presidential candidate turned New York City mayoral hopeful is no longer identifying as a Democrat.

osh kosh bosh come get your mans

Former presidential and New York mayoral candidate Andrew Yang is set to launch a third party next month, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Yang is expected to start the party in conjunction with the Oct. 5 release of his new book, "Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy."

No better way to show da out of touch progressives that they don't know good politics than to.....check notes.... launch a third party.

Really shows who has a clear-eyed perspective on things.

 

[RustyShackleford]

I can't wait for the scammer millionaire venture capitalist to lecture people about who out of touch they are with the common person, especially when the common person is the *** checks of racist white people.

dacomeup we book clubbing this new joint too?

I've seen a picture of Delk.

They are different people, but if you told me they were related I would buy it.

And this is why loser 45 placed all those under qualified federalist society goons so quickly.

Sorry, I was joking. I was referring to Yang's book. I'm not reading that ****.

Even though my read has fallen off recently, I picked up this joint a while back to read.

Saw both Jamelle Bouie and Kevin Kruse recommend it.

Even though it is out of date, and a pretty short book, apparently it gives of the best explanations of the GOP's turn toward white grievance politics.

Will let you know how it is

So you as a proud Naija man is celebrating failure, low-level scamming, struggle clout chasing, and giving out what is essentially a participation trophy. Damn

He lied to the entire party, then blindsided them with an Op-Ed in the WSJ opinion page. And lobbyists have been talking like he is their ally.

Mans stands in the way of most of the party's agenda proudly, and the one thing he gave his promised on he would help them on, he is now is making bad-faith attacks against

Maybe he should stop acting like such a ******* clown
