I've always wondered why Justices hang on until their death bed. If they're actually that concerned about the makeup of the court, why not step down when the political climate in Washington is amenable to selecting and confirming a Justice that's fairly in line with their views? RBG could have stepp...

Can a brother get a link? I'd like to share this.
TIA

1964 Ford Galaxy that my dad inherited from his Aunt. She bought it new.
First year for the 289, and ours had the 3 On The Tree. Most vague shifter you can imagine. Sure do wish we'd kept that car......

I think universities as they've currently been marketed are going to go away. You'll no longer have tens of thousands of people wanting to go into massive debt to get some BS in "business" or "management". Universities will go back to what they were always intended to be - where ...

As a bleeding heart leftie, I found Tiabbi's argument persuasive. I guess when it comes down to it, I'll take free speech over any agenda. Free speech is absolutely essential to advancing the true bleeding heart progressive agenda. That's why the modern left won't stand for it. A real progressive a...

Basics: Cancel culture on the left has made it so toxic to say anything that's contrary to the accepted narrative that it's now impossible to point out obvious flaws in that narrative. No dissenting voice will be tolerated. And the mere accusation of being opposite the narrative can be a career kill...

Here's Matt on The Hill defending his position after the usual media shit the bed over his truth telling:

Some white woman started the damned fire. There's good video of her lighting it off, and a $10k reward for her last I checked.
Again, it reeks of Antifa coming in and turning a protest into property destruction.

Matt's been on the ball about the modern left eating itself from the inside. You should check out his Useful Idiots podcast. He and Katie Halper go over current political shit and have some pretty interesting guests. He's also on the Jimmy Dore show a good bit.

Before FC gives you an educated reply, consider this; the US has been the world's most successful capitalist country by far. What do you mean by successful? "Most successful" for that matter? Highest GDP and most amount of wealth created are two metrics to which US capitalism can lay clai...

The protests at the Wendy's are getting pretty heated right now, according to local news. The focus from LEO is to keep them from spilling onto the interstate that has an overpass right at the intersection where this wend down. I ride my bike past that Wendy's all the time. It's on my route from Gra...

At least your vote means something. I live in NY where Xi Jinping would easily defeat our bloated orange savior, and my vote is worth less than a dry orgasm. We should overhaul our voting process, shift from winner take all electoral votes to proportional assignment to the tenth of a vote. Keep the...

2020 Living in the Age of Beta Yep. In a fair and just society, the real issue here would have been why the TV wasn't set to The Fifth Element in anticipation of the breadwinner's triumphant return from getting shit done, and why there wasn't a hot meal on a plate beside the Lay-Z-Boy. The cold bee...

Very peaceful where I live. A lot of churches are out in support of police reform. A lot of school kids organizing walks. Noting remotely violent. I suspect that much like everything else, the worst gets reported because it will get views and clicks. By and large the protests have been peaceful, and...

Wealthy comfortable populations don't breed like rabbits. The best way to create those populations is western democratic capitalist liberalism. I think the problem with that is that it requires raising several billion more people up to a western standard of living, with a commensurate increase in g...

Now you're getting into sky daddy territory. There's vast swaths of the world where keeping women barefoot, pregnant, and under wraps is mandated from on high.

People are conflating capitalism with resource depletion. They aren't the same thing, and failure to understand that destroys credibility. I'll write up a good response to your question later, but as to this, I thing there's much more overlap between capitalism and resource depletion than you're ad...

I'm down with that. When rats breed themselves into starvation, there's only one possible outcome. I like what the GA Guidstones have to say. Keep the population at 500 million and call it good. We could all have a quality of life almost unattainable by even the richest today with that little drain ...

Agreed 100% with FatCat. I'm willing to do my part, unless we bring the 3rd world to heel, this is hopeless. Not sure what the strategy might look like to get those areas to take population control seriously. But when people start starving or walking north by the hundreds of millions, shit is going ...

The fact that we measure our society in terms of production and consumption is lunacy at an evangelical level. Infinite growth cannot happen on a finite rock. Period. This has been one of my main interests/fears for as long as I can remember. And anyone who dares question the religion of capitalism ...

I remembered this thread when Wuflu first hit. Notice which side the mainstream media, the big tech and social media companies, and many governors and politicians have taken. Well let's see, the biggest companies own the media, so that's a single entity. And they're multinational. And they have bou...

No shit has officially hit the fan until Castro calls it quits. When that guy jumps ship, it's game over, man.

No, that was Josh: http://www.irongarmx.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5075&sid=9873dff78f2f9fb02d62cbbc1fd5680e&start=5925#p378013 Damn, I could have sworn that was Tyler that got Glassman'ed on the limp comment. :Hangman: I would say that Glassman and Orange Julius in the White House ...

It's not a lot to offer some measure of empathy. He went the TOTAL WAR route. I suspect Bikram leve...

Into the millions, bare minimum. Maybe tens of millions.
I'm pretty sure @Fit was on the down slope anyway, but this will ensure a fast circling of the drain. NOBODY will want to be associated with anything even remotely construed as racist now.
