Sure, the government could do all sorts of things to ensure bailouts are effectively applied, including giving them directly to the people who need them. They don’t do that because helping the people isn’t the goal. They just say that’s the goal as a marketing ploy.

Bailouts go to huge corporations because that’s who the government cares about. Stopping rich dudes from keeping as much of our money as possible is diametrically opposed to our nation’s fundamental economic and political philosophy. Of course they don’t make a serious effort to keep it from happening.

Hopefully they think more like Luigi than this guy

Or it might tell you to put glue in your pizza

If the MAGA crowd critically evaluated his promises he never would have been President, certainly not a second time.

Yes, plans that don’t work out can retroactively be called the wrong decision because they failed. Of fucking course they can. The alternative is attempting the same thing over and over but expecting a different result, which is a popular description of insanity. You’re ridiculing the fundamental process of learning and growth and seeming proud of it because you think its helping you win an argument. That might honestly be the dumbest thing I’ve seen someone do.

I have no interest in discussing things with someone who would rather double down with insane ideas then admit they were wrong.

The plan you support failed miserably. Being completely convinced it was still the right move seems insane to me, but do what you want

In other words, nothing at all happened

I am bolth

I think mine are the best there is. I do have a problem with objective judgment though

Your conclusion is that letting Trump walk was the right call so I’ll never agree with that argument. Dress it up how you like but it’s still bullshit.

I agree with most of what you said. However, I find it odd that you called it “one of the most important cases in American history” but also seem to be defending their decision to treat it much like any other case.

Trump is the best example there is that norms and precedent don’t mean much. He loves using the system against his opponents and Smith didn’t fight back against that at all. Again, he should have expected Trump’s deny and delay tactics and took some action.

Fighting an opponent who uses the rules against you requires being creative with the rules. Instead of the bold action we needed we got timid deference to procedure. If Biden and Garland were the hold up then stand in front of the media and say that directly to the world. Force them to either get off their ass or fire you. Anything less is equivalent to letting Trump run out the clock, which is exactly what happened.

He’s proving right now that he knows how to do this, which is why it’s so frustrating that he didn’t do it when it might have mattered.

Jack Smith might get a pass from me if Robert Mueller didn’t royally fuck up his investigation in full view of Smith for pretty much the same reasons. Smith definitely saw the way that played out and still waited 3 years too long to say stuff like what is quoted in this headline. Good for him for saying it eventually but if he wanted it to matter he’s way too late taking his stand and he should have known that better than anyone.

Booo

They are all soft sacks of meat just like anyone else. You don’t need to fight the whole US military just to pop a few bubbles. They want you to believe that’s true but it isn’t.

This just in: insults are insulting

Sweet. I’ve been dual booting with Windows for about 6 months. In that time I’ve only booted Windows around 4 times. It’s not nearly as big of a deal as I thought it would be.

How much does it cost to import a car from China? If there’s not an official way to do that can you find a company that will transport a whole shipping container and just pay someone to put the car in it under a bunch of random shit? I feel like the price points on these EVs make that kind of thing worth looking into.

How you doing?

Like, people shit talk them falling for it all the time, but no one ever stops and talks about why the propaganda works.

It works because they’re stupid. Yes, there’s other contributing factors but none of them would matter if they weren’t dumb. That’s the most fundamental problem at play and they deserve to be mocked for it.

Maybe he should have said some of this in 2023 then.
