Grumble

Sarcasm aside, it's unprecedented (and/or unpresidential) for one clown to be charged in criminal proceedings in four different venues and not be held in jail.

The man has multiple passports and owns a private jet. It's fair to say he's a flight risk.

Oh. Trump had someone photoshop something.

I thought Trump was referring the ketchup stains that he leaves everywhere from throwing plates when he's cranky.

"Deadlock" is the excuse that your party makes when they only pass laws for billionaires.

Let's give this a more reasonable title: "Stephen Miller Launches Advertising Campaign / Fundraiser Using Meritless Lawsuit"

Good news: here in Newport, WA, our hospital has re-opened the birthing center, and a second clinic is under construction. I assume a lot of the patients that we'll get will be from Idaho's Boundary and Bonner counties.

The real question is, why is a supposed billionaire begging for donations?

The man lies about everything, everywhere, all at once.

Now I'm off to the supermarket to get celebratory ice cream for the latest round of indictments that dropped today.

Speaking as a resident in her district, Cathy is a sock puppet for her donors. She's been well paid and will spout the script that her owners/lobbyists have provided for her. I'd be surprised if Cathy has personally filled up a gas tank in the last 10 years. She's a reliable tool for the billionaires.

Fuck her, in the neck, with a spork.

Well, those yield gains are from capitalism subsidized with government-sponsored ag research at hundreds of college campuses, and subsidized by intellectual property protections for patents and copyrights, and government price supports, and government crop insurance, and government land-bank programs to pay farmers to not overuse the land, and ag labor subsidized by special exemptions for minimum wage and citizenship verifications, as well as tight border controls and political vilification of the immigrant labor force to keep the wages low.

But yeah, when society throws enough money into capitalism and soaks up the external costs, it sometimes delivers results.

In short, modern US agriculture is hardly a good example of either unfettered markets or unfettered capitalism. Big US ag is privatized profits and socialized losses, like a lot of other US industry, albeit with much better PR than (for instance) the banking industry.

One company I worked at had more full-time collections people than sales people. Our products were a lot cheaper than our competitors, and it attracted a lot of customers with no money.

Another company I worked at ignored all "first notice" bills they ran up. CFO told me that if a company wanted paid, they needed to send a second notice.

The Dems and GOP have similar business models: trade policy and legislation for campaign donations, and deliver tribalism to voters.

That's not to say the two parties are the same - they differ significantly. One party is funded by the truly psychopathic billionaires, and the other party is funded by the usual greedy bastard billionaires. Chalk and cheese, as the British say.

Just deleted my Reddit account. Good riddance.
