The latest sedition of, Fox News actively makes you stupid

Good that Fox is slimmed down. We know how health conscious Paulie is.

Deutsche did a few naughty things to lure and keep Trump as a costumer.

 

It's synonymous with "Aside from his narcissistic indifference and multiple affairs, he is a model husband and father."

 

It means there is a world of privilege whose rules you and I can't even imagine. The Eddy Murphy Saturday Night Live skit "White like Me" or the Mark Twain short story "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" turned out to be documentaries instead of comedies.

 

Footnotes:

The £1,000,000 Bank-Note

 

Constantly amazed at the people who bought his bullshit. Even a large German bank was hypnotized by this assmunch.

 

No, they are big enough that that wouldn't be a concern. And the article makes it clear that Deutsche Bank was very pro-Trump since its first dealings in America in the late 1990's when Trump was a just a failed casino magnate and not a Russian money launderer. They needed a big name to drum up business, they needed someone not being served by the rest of the crowded market, and Trump was perfect. And as he pissed off one segment of the bank, there was another newly formed division ready to take over for just those same reasons.

It's not a long article. You should read it.

 

The privilege of privilege.

On a related note, it is possible to be either a) thoughtful or b) as a real-estate developer? I have met a few in my life, none big-time, all ranging from small-time to moderate (which is still enough to make plenty of money), and every one of them was a trophy-wife collecting douchebag. Or in the case of the small fry, wanting to have a trophy wife but settling for handjobs at the massage parlors.

 

If you look at the picture of the crowd at the Trump mini-inauguration, most of the ladies are wearing hijab.

Does this mean that according to Jeanine Pirro, his swearing in was unconstitutional?

 

Are we going to ignore the Klanner in the pic? Just pretend that's not a thing?

 

You can only see the back of his head.

 

Yeah, we also ended formal apartheid ahead of South Africa...

"America came along as the first country to end it within 150 years. "

What does that even mean? I can think of several things she's trying to communicate here and none of them are even in the same time zone as historically correct.

 

Why is she talking history which she knows nothing about. I don't talk about cricket and Arabic poetry among many other things. I thought it was an accepted practice not to talk about things you know nothing about.

Greatest hits. When's the BENGHAZI! anniversary?

 

Brazil was last!

 

Most of the time, crazy-sounding soundbites from Fox/the right are indeed crazy. It is not a matter of bad wording covering up good ideas, or indeed of any ideas at all. They're just making shit up.

 

Then the fox channel would look like this:

 

I have long wondered who would line up on the other side of a deal with Donald Trump, and why. He has long made it clear that he thinks that deals are zero-sum games, that he wins if the other side loses, and that he will lie, cheat, and/or use the court system so that he can win. Why on earth do business with that guy?
