I dont know how I feel about paying potential higher taxes to make sure the criminals in my state have good care. I mean I dont want them suffering, but again, they are convicted criminals.

That was part of the breaking point that led to privatization of many prisons. The prisons weren't getting safer or more secure, but they kept demanding more money. One of the obvious ploys they used was instead of hiring the supposed guard staff, the existing staff would just work (at least on paper) insane overtime hours - generating less oversight for even more money.

It's pathological for sure. The president wakes up at 2 am, spending an hour before he tweets, thinking - How can I deceive America even more? What whopper of a lie can I get away with today?

It's amazing how Trump traveled back in time to build these prisons and set them up for prison labor during Obama, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan and previous president's terms.

Trump really is a time traveler.

Sort of similar to how he traveled back in time to get approval for border fencing during previous president's terms so that he could pretend he's building his wall now?

He tells so many lies that there is not enough time in the day for him to spend an hour thinking about what lie he's going to tell.

Trump averaged 15 lies a day in 2018, triple his 2017 average

Keep in mind that 15 lies per day is the average number of lies that he tells publicly. I would have to assume that he communicates far more privately than publicly so he's likely telling many dozens of lies per day total.

Translation for adults: in 2017 Trump said many things I disagree with. In 2018, he's been saying things I disagree with even more often.

The Democrats truly are Dwight from the Office.

No.

Lies are lies. It has nothing to do with disagreement.

Lord Ski, I rest my case.

Pretty good Scrotie, pretty good lol

On that subject, Ski, and because I like pointing out fake news when I see it, I should mention that AOC tweet again.

First off, AOC didn't actually say the world will end in 12 years. What she said was

"

part of it that is generational is that millennials and people, in Gen Z, and all these folks that come after us are looking up and we're like

Meaning: the context of who is "like," meaning speaking, is apparently Gen Xers, as they're the generation before millennials. I don't know how AOC gets off calling herself Gen X, but whatever.

"

“the world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change,” and your biggest issue, your biggest issue is how are going to pay for it?

So what she's saying is: this is something people in my generation are saying, and we find the response lacking to the point of absurdity.

Now for appropriate comparison, I am I the same generation as AOC, and if I said "my generation is a bunch of useful idiots for communism," you wouldn't interpret that as saying I am a useful idiot for communism. So that thing about AOC saying the world will end in 12 years is a rightwing media hoax. She said "people I stand with have said the world is going to end in 12 years," which is slightly but critically different.

It's funny, though, because I actually didn't notice the hoax until after her tweet calling it "dry humor" and accusing the GOP of being Dwight from The Office. I actually watched her deliver the "12 years" statement in a video, and I understood her. So her tweet struck me as pure hypocrisy — it was Dems who acted like Dwight from the Office, trying to find unintended combinations of words to disagree with whenever Trump opened his mouth. That was them, not us.

But I was wrong. GOP types had been hoaxed by their media and COMPLETELY responded to her tweet like Dwights. She depicted conservatives in an unflattering light for her audience, and then conservatives walked right on into the trap, providing evidence for that claim to her audience. AOC pwned the fuck out of y'all. Or should I say "us?" Might be too confusing, considering how y'all had trouble parsing "we."

But funny as that was, AOC Derangement Syndrome is still a lot less severe than Trump Derangement Syndrome. There's still a lot more, um, Dwightism against Trump than against Democrats. But it isn't a strictly partisan thing.

Also, as an important note, AOC can actually predict how conservatives will react and mock their reaction before it happens. That's thinking one move ahead. A true rarity among the far left — she can actually play 4D chess. Scary.

Tbh I don't even know what to think about AOC.

In many ways she has parallels to Trump. No real political experience, surprised to some extent she won her seat, clueless how Washington actually works, effective social media presence while saying dumb stuff on said social media, master of hyperbole, and no one really knows If we should really take them seriously. Is it a show? Are they really that dumb? Or is it more sinister than that?

All in all I think we should be more worried about that Asteriod in 2029 that will "fly close" but miss us.

That announcement along with the New York impact scenario, was a little on the nose for my liking. We may not make it to the 12 years climate change ambiguous deadline lol.
