Hey JoeScum

Take your small government conservative ReTHUG bullshit and shove it up your two-faced ass.
It's decision-making time - society or market?
You all brought this planet to this point with your Friedman and Hayek fuckery. It's time to bury neo-liberalism with the bodies of your victims.
Even Barnicle sounds like Michael Manley this morning.

Joe was giving Trump holy hell at the beginning. A couple of days ago he was praising Trump. I thought Joe had listened to Brian, Larry and the others who tried to call Trump out for the liar he is.

I muted them, so I could see Biden. Went on to other news.Did he turn?

Between us I think Joe is on his way out. Each day he gets worse. MIka cleaned him up a little bit, got rid of her Fox girl dresses but his hypocrisy knows no bounds. The only reason they changed on their dear friend, Donald is because he turned on them!

Never forget they gave us Trump in the first place.

small government versus big government, but it is really about bad government versus good government. Under GW Bush, the federal government got bigger and more intrusive, but it didn't get better, except for corporations and the ultra wealthy. You can't believe what republicans actually say, it is usually a ruse. And on top of that, they are incompetent.

My Republican neighbors still don't see the need for federal government leadership in the time of a pandemic so they will never get it.

I know some days he bashes trump some days he gives some mild faint praise.

But, I think it's ok to have some differing opinions on MSNBC and the fact that most of the time he is bashing trump helps my politically moderate brother who really likes that show and hates Rachel Maddow because she "loves herself too much and makes the show all about herself". (Hell I don't even know what that means well I kinda do but that's a whole new thread).

Jake Tapper did that on CNN. Ari Melber is good and bad. Bran, Larry and Ali have earned my respect.

It was always fiction disguised as legitimacy. Small government means the more free reign for the oligarchs. Look what it has brought us and this crisis is only beginning.

in this moment. It’s a fantasy I know, but we could actually change the trajectory immediately, change the world. But the reality is we don’t all have this much fire, which is why I admire those who do even more. Emotion is a wonderful, good and powerful thing in the right time, place and measure. Now seems like the right time.

Wed Apr 1, 2020, 10:29 AM

In more explicit form. Capital reserves the right to underpay the workers who actually create the wealth.
Therefore capital will steal labor for the cheapest way to gather wealth.
Once upon a time almost 100 years ago, there was the Great Depression.
We had the Great Recession over 10 years ago
Now we are on the edge of a liberal genocide.

The more things change the more they stay INSANE
