The Isolated Political Blurt Thread

Meet the economist behind the One Percent’s stealth takeover of America

James McGill Buchanan is a name you will rarely hear unless you’ve taken several classes in economics. And if the Tennessee-born Nobel laureate were alive today, it would suit him just fine that most well-informed journalists, liberal politicians, and even many economics students have little understanding of his work.

The reason? Duke historian Nancy MacLean contends that his philosophy is so stark that even young libertarian acolytes are only introduced to it after they have accepted the relatively sunny perspective of Ayn Rand. (Yes, you read that correctly). If Americans really knew what Buchanan thought and promoted, and how destructively his vision is manifesting under their noses, it would dawn on them how close the country is to a transformation most would not even want to imagine, much less accept.

Or Koch-sucking academia?

“Rep. Trey Gowdy has been a pitbull investigator for Republicans for years. Now, he’s in President Donald Trump’s doghouse for daring to challenge the president’s unsupported claim that Democrats and their sympathizers in the FBI embedded a spy in his 2016 campaign.”


Typical, he’s doing great work...until we disagree with him.

Patriot Kidnaps Latino Family To Make His Yard Great Again

Unfortunately for the idiot in Washington who decided he was going snatch a young boy who was starting his mother’s car before school, he never took US History 101 from a textbook that told him that slavery was over. Even though he is clearly black, he must have not realized that the 13th Amendment also applies to brown people. Apparently he looked over at the industrious young latino boy and decided that he should own him for himself. Because why not? Why should a young latino boy be allowed to go to fucking school and get an education when he could clearly be working as a slave for his neighbor who really really really needed some yard work done? Exactly, because SLAVERY IS A CRIME*.

Mr. “I Really Need A Yard Slave”, Wellington Waggener (Wellington?) from Centralia, Washington should have spent more time slaving away in his own yard, because he certainly got his ass ARRESTED for trying to play Lord of the Land. His victim, a 12 year old, was hit in the face by the 6’9” 250 pound kidnapper, and then forced to do work like sweeping and picking up trash in the yard. But it doesn’t end there folks!! The child nearly rescued when his family noticed he was missing and decided to look around the neighborhood. But when they found the child, they were ALSO taken captive by the slave master. He then forced the whole family to be his yard slaves. Because, MAGA (Hey, there are black MAGA people!)? Or just economically uneasy? On Ambien? Explain this now!!!

They report that he told them to work as his yard slaves so that:

"You know what it’s like to be slaves."

Ok, America. It is time for you to get yourselves in check and stop letting the worst among us get ideas that just because Trump hates brown people that it is okay for you to oppress them. Sure, Trump has been getting away with corruption! But that does not mean that we will let YOU kidnap latino families and make them into your own Pledge of Allegiance taking yard slaves. No matter what color you are, it is illegal and not okay.
We will have you arrested. And placed in prison.

WTF!

Gitmo commanders make pitch for new prison with hospice-care wing for ex-CIA captives

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba

The U.S. military's mission at Guantánamo is shifting to permanent detention for al-Qaida and other war-on-terror detainees, commanders told reporters this week in a rare public pitch for Congress to fund a new $69 million, wheelchair-accessible prison — complete with a hospice-care cellblock — for the five accused 9/11 plotters and 10 other captives who were in some instances tortured in secret overseas CIA prisons.

"Picture in your mind elderly detainees, brothers taking care of one another. That is the humane way ahead," said prison spokeswoman Navy Cmdr. Anne Leanos.

‘We’ll See What Happens.’

Former Fed chair Ben Bernanke is warning that the Trump tax cuts (for the super rich) and the dramatic increase in federal spending will “hit the economy in a big way this year and next year, and then in 2020 Wile E. Coyote is going to go off the cliff.” Meep! Meep!

What, things were going so well?

Only in the USA though. NHS counselling and therapy is available to the entire population at 0 cost here in the UK. Though there are private options for extremely specialized fields which aren't provided publicly/for faster treatment/alternative treatments/etc, it is also generally government subsidized.

The USA just screws over its citizens so much and you guys don't even realize it.

Many of us here fully realize it.

Can we send some US citizens over there for counseling? Starting w/the LWCJ here?

They been threatening to leave for years, but can't get a job to pay for the plane tickets.

*elbows on the table, head in hands*

The whole G7 delegation was used in an infomercial, for Kim Jong Un to watch


The odd looking part of the incident, is National Security Advisor John Bolton flapping his lips, while everyone is focused on the negotiations.

June 10, 2018

Angela Merkel said she first found out about Trump's decision on the flight back from Canada. She described the experience as "sobering," after Trump dashed what had been an "arduously negotiated" declaration.


http://www.dw.com/en/chancellor-ang...communique-sobering-and-depressing/a-44150334


"The withdrawal, so to speak, via tweet is of course ... sobering and a bit depressing," Merkel said in an ARD television interview following the G7 summit in Canada.

https://www.independent.ie/world-ne...-hits-out-at-trumps-g7-decision-36995691.html


As if Trump had not baited and goaded everyone present at G7, into giving him the excuse he required, to back out of the agreement.

@parscale

The media should be cheering @realDonaldTrump’s progress with North Korea. Instead they are trying to downplay and poke holes

(gsgs comment- No need to poke holes. Enough of a hole made, to allow a North Korean army to march through./end gsgs comment)

Their dislike for President Trump is greater than their love of peace


(Great propaganda slogan!)

If Dump wants to help sentencing and prison reform why would he put Sessions as AG? Sessions who by the way has told prosecutors to vigorously pursue and charge people, going against what AG Holder instructed. By the way Obama has been the only president since Carter to see the federal inmate population decrease in his term. He also had the Fair Sentencing Act.

You can be in the club, if you went to the right schools, the preferred universities, and were born to the ruling class. Otherwise, you must campaign and become a politician.
