calimary's JournalOMG! republi-CON Socialism!
We oughta start leaning on the whole Corporate WELFARE meme. Oh, you don't believe in welfare? Well, we AGREE!!! Welfare for the rich needs to GO. You don't like welfare, well, neither do we. And we'll start by peeling it away on the folks who need it the least. After all, that football dude is correct. The NFL and other ultra-wealthy enterprises that are CLEARLY NOT non-profits - do NOT need taxpayer support! They're more than well-enough able to take care of themselves and pull themselves up by their own expensive designer bootstraps. Or maybe they cut back - only thirteen Rolex watches this year instead of fourteen. A mere five yachts instead of six. I think they'll still be able to struggle by, don't you? Even if they have to tighten their Armani or Dolce & Gabbana belts a little, don't you? I mean, if the Queen of England has to economize a little, why can't the koch brothers and the walton family? They very likely won't even feel it, anyway.
Looks like that's what his pals coulda used yesterday, as I understand the score.
I didn't watch. Don't really get football and all the adulation and worship that falls all over it. And I tend to appreciate the underdog more.
I think the NFL has PLENTY ENOUGH money to be able to cough up a little more to help their country and their countrymen. No pity. The last thing the NFL needs is a taxpayer-funded rich-man's safety net. WTF??? They don't deserve tax exempt status! They're no non-profit! They're all about profit-and-nothing-but-profit forcryingoutloud. They can WELL afford to lift more of the load and probably not even feel it.
Welcome to DU, RoccoRyg!
Great to have you join us! These people ARE nutso. They gorge on roast of hyperbole and red herrings on the side. As that poster proved, they've got nothing, fact-wise, with which to respond, so they haul out the talking points and attack points they hear on Pox Noise every day. They're very good at twisting logic, but only they wind up believing it and taking it seriously as though it had some merit. It doesn't, and neither do they.
Welcome to DU, The CCC!
Good to have you with us! It reminds me of Bobbi Fiedler, an extremely ambitious loudmouth who had conniption fits every time somebody took her to task. Her response to a poke with a ping-pong paddle was to try to launch a nuclear bomb. DAYUM but she was combative. Obnoxiously so. She started with a successful run for the L.A. Unified School Board based on aggressive grassroots organizing against busing in schools, and used that as a springboard to get to Congress, but fortunately she didn't last. But CRIMINY she had a short fuse and thin skin - so thin it sometimes seemed she didn't have any skin at all. And she'd go global-thermo-nuclear at the least little challenge. SHEESH. What a grand-stander. Smack back with overkill every single damn time. She was ALWAYS spoiling for a fight. Just frickin' tiresome. Just like the GOP in general. And yes, predictably, she was a republi-CON, too. Took bigtime umbrage at the least little hangnail that she saw as some personal affront. Hell, she took damn near everything personally and threw fits, making sure cameras and microphones had been alerted and she'd make the local news. Just tiresome as hell. Frequently made me wish I had a cream pie to shmush in her face. Finally, wisely, and mercifully, California voters stopped her seemingly well-plotted political ascent when she tried to unseat then-Senator Alan Cranston, and told her to STFU and go away. You BET she had higher political aspirations! However, a little corruption mess on her part helped her skid to a stop and deflate in the GOP Senatorial primary like a leaky tire. And thankfully, she's never returned. Man, that one was long overdue! Good riddance to her and everybody like her!
Welcome to DU, brutus smith!
Glad you're here! They can dish it out but they sure can't take it. And they prove that again and again and again. They're a whole bunch of one-trick ponies. Attack, attack, attack. And then attack some more. And - did I forget to point out that they're always on attack mode? And after they're through there, then they'll start attacking. That's all they've got. Bluster. Can't dazzle 'em with brilliance (WHAT brilliance????) so they opt for the baffle-'em-with-bullshit. And then go on the attack.
That's all they've got. A bunch of Johnny and Joanie One-Notes. Always on the offensive. I guess, maybe, because they simply ARE offensive?
Welcome to DU, StevePaulson!
Glad you're here. One thing I've noticed through the years is how thoroughly the bad guys learn from their mistakes. They cover their tracks a LOT better than they did during Watergate. Slippery sneaky-ass schmucks. Doesn't matter. He's still damaged goods. As he deserves to be, in the very least.
And what about the emails (or texts?) that asked whether Trenton was happy about
what was, at that time, currently going on? Who's "Trenton"? Is that not the state capitol, where the governor's office is?
From my all-time favorite movie!
Shudderingly accurate and prescient, and it came out in 1976.
