Not even a billion Genius Visas can whitewash away a fuck-up that epic - because in the historical blink of an eye those tots will vote.jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840719620959481121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-26860142481874674512016-11-27T20:28:50.452-06:002016-11-27T20:28:50.452-06:00The idea of "public" anything is anathem...The idea of "public" anything is anathema to these grifters.<br />Wait till all these dumbassaes that voted for this swine find out instead of getting their factory jobs back, Trump is going to shove an orange so far up their dumper that their chinese made safety glasses pop off.

The U.s. Supreme Court override state rights of Florida (the GOP's pillar principle).<br />The silence from all was heard loud and clear.<br /><br />They wanted their SCOTUS and they got it after Scalia went and croaked on them.<br /><br />After all the law breaking from the law and order party. Our owners got their SCOTUS so they can return to being the marketed law and order party to control the masses that they cannot control with their funded grassroots religion. The marketing of Whiteness didn't hurt either. Won't personally affect our owners with the occasional Dylan Roof Church shooting. <br />Do our owners want us to be more like the Chinese? Redistributing wealth or in our cases redistributing our pittances. <br />There will be no preparing for the redefining of legal constitutional foundations .<br />No need for Amendments when you have 5 justices that are disconnected completely from Americans. Live a life of insulation from its people. Look down at those people.<br />The interpretations of our Constitution is going to get an apprentice makeover.<br />Seat belts will not help.Robthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736678459663803707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-6516111401049486722016-11-27T09:59:30.638-06:002016-11-27T09:59:30.638-06:00What do you have against cotton candy and unicorns...What do you have against cotton candy and unicorns? They're my six year old daughter's favorites. BTW, to the point of originality - I see at least three sentences in your response that definitely fall in the category of derivative, being anything but original.

If he wants to stick to it, fine. I happen to think he'd be more effective expanding his repertoire, that's all. <br /><br />BTW, Brooks, Fournier, Dowd, and most of driftglass' other favorite targets aren't heavyweights. They have their time in the spotlight and deserve some scrutiny, but they're players in a much larger scheme. They are what the media puts forward to entertain us while the real power finances campaigns, buys politicians, writes policy, gets out the vote, expands income inequality and rolls back the safety net.

That in wealthy circles gives you the mother Terasa mantle without really doing the work or taking time in life to involve yourself. I tis just another overly wealthy person with no context of the chatel. But has a deep desire out of boredom to impose "beliefs" without knowledge and experience on people she and her's shall never have to endure.<br />Sometimes I look at these folks and think the worst, as they want to undermine any notion of "commoners" getting educated that might compete with their wealthy aristocratic children for employment forever more. That educated commoners might attain a knowledge that could put on display the incompetence and secluded bubble of these folks that their wealth equals private schools that us commoners could never compete with.<br />Take the Affluence law case of the wealthy child who the courts never held any legal accountability for his actions breaking the law. He could not be held accountable because growing up wealthy to wealthy privileged parents who never taught him right and wrong and always had the wealth privileged advantage of getting whatever he wanted. <br />So he couldn't be held accountable for breaking the law when his wealth always provided him with that aristocratic privilege.<br /><br />"All men are created equal", but chose the financial status of the parents you want to be born to carefully.<br />It is right there in the Constitution folks..........Robthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736678459663803707noreply@blogger.com
