President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Doesn't get the joke.

 

Hitler was fine until he tried to make everybody speak German.

Candace Owens: Hitler’s Nationalism Was Actually Fine, It Was His Globalism That Was a Problem

 

You don't know my life.

 

Say you're gonna be reincarnated as a pair of pants. And you end up being those pants. That's bad luck.

 

Presumably Ms. Owens went to high school, and probably has some college. Where could she have possibly learned such nonsense?

Dinesh D'Souza U?

 

Poor fucking them.

So I just went through the Green New Deal and all the talking points/overview/etc.

This concept is a little like Middle Tennessee State demanding Alabama play on the road with 3 less players on the field.

Good column from Megan McArdle theorizing why:

But arguably Ocasio-Cortez’s team wasn’t really trying to put together a practical document. Rather, it articulates an ideal, one that we may never reach but should at least strive for. And there’s something appealing about that argument, because climate change is a pressing concern, and even if it weren’t, there would be ample reasons to want to obtain as much energy as possible from renewable sources.

Progressives frequently argue that getting to “as much as possible” requires setting goals that are out of reach. They call it “shifting the Overton window,” or widening the spectrum of plausible policy options, an idea broached in the 1990s by policy analyst Joseph P. Overton. The folk version: Ask for the stars, you’ll get the moon.

Fair enough. Sometimes people and causes do lose out by being too timid. What the progressive window-shoppers forget is that they can also lose out by being over-aggressive.

 

Also: What moron failed to proofread the "unwilling to work" line in the original FAQ?

 

Schultz, man. I can't think of another instance where a super rich, successful guy has walked into a room with a smile and a wave and everybody said, "Get the fuck out."

Trump has destroyed the political capital of every billionaire, real or imaginary, for a long time.

 

This guy.
