The great law of unintended but very predictable consequences. Worldwide abortion rates are almost double under GoP leadership than Dems. Because every republican that takes office immediately bans all funding for international womens centers that educate poor countries on sex and contraceptives. Trump of course did the same and abortion rates are going up. Now he has also implemented his policy domestically and you can guarantee US rates will go up. GOP, the party of stupid that never learns from the past. It's also kind of poetic that the countries with the most anti-abortion policies in the world have the most abortions.

Ahh a quote from noted philosopher Dan Rather. Thank you for that. How's that new Bolshevik movement coming along Levi?
Well that was fast. South Korea says NK is already starting to rebuild the token nuke launch sites they partialy dismantled last year.
As if anyone is against curing diseases...
"Science does good things..."
Thanks Dan...appreciate the knowledge bomb you dropped on us...
He conveniently left out how it also applies to genders.
Yeah, but Buck Sexton (that's a great porn name btw) had it right - what is the upside of the wall when the current law states we have to let them in anyway? Those 76,000 came through checkpoints. Unless we put a stop to that practice, the wall is nothing more than a symbol to help DT get re-elected.
Just taking it from Trump himself. He didn't need to do it, could have done it over a longer period of time. He just wanted to do it faster. I agree that he is an idiot though.
You're telling me this wasn't solved already during the first meeting like every person on this board claimed it was?
Lie. No one said it was solved, most said getting him to the table unlike others who could not. Drama Queen much?
Tim is right.
And twitter would be right if they simply said, “our company, our rules. Gtfo if you don’t like it”. But instead they lie about censorship, and act like they are some kind of important and necessary part of society. It’s very weird.
I hope Russia nukes Facebook and Twitter. Then what? Nothing bc it doesn’t fn matter. Some other bs program would take their place.
All you have to do is look at the debt as it has swelled after every cut. Couple that with the unneeded wars we got into and you wind up where we are with this debt.
It’s the spending, dumbass.
Only the wealthy have a 401K.

Rep. Peter DeFazio and House Democrats are reintroducing a financial services tax with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a co-sponsor
- The bill, titled the "Wall Street Tax Act of 2019," taxes securities transactions and is co-sponsored by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
- The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the tax could help reduce the budget by increasing revenues by $777 billion over the course of 10 years.
- Since Ocasio-Cortez's victorious run for Congress during the 2018 midterm elections, the New York lawmaker has been advocating for the wealthiest Americans to pay more in taxes.

Ya watching other clips from this episode, the girl doesn't do a good job handling Tim's issues with Twitter. He just has too many examples to back up what he's saying.
And ya Tim is 100% correct and ya all she has to say is, "our headquarters is located in a very progressive area, the majority of our employees have a progressive ideology, this company tends to follows those ideologies and has a bias leaning towards that direction."
It's totally fine to have a private company have their own rules and biases. Just stop acting like there is no bias.
Ugh Levi. Back on ignore. I just cant deal.
I guess another key part to this twitter/Facebook stuff is the govt aspect. They do serve as e-police, and cooperate with govt to police society.
So, that’s extra weird and very scary. Also complicates how twitter can openly talk about stuff.
*like Europe jailing people for posts
*congress interrogating Mark fn zuckerburg for 2 days about spicy dank memes such as this...

Levi: Mark Twain is talking about YOU.
Put him on ignore late last night. Everyone do it and we will stomp out fascism in our neighborhood.
I’m a friggin Democrat and I’m about ready to do it too.
A great way to ascertain whether or not a tweet or headline is worth reading is to look for anything in all caps. That’s the telltale sign of sensationalism.
