  • I also think he could have closed Guantanamo.

    Apparently you don’t remember how that went either.

    And I even think he could have bailed out the people that lost their houses and not the people that owned the houses.

    Oh, sure, just pass an executive order for it, right?

    I still think he should have nationalized the banks that failed and renamed them to “Bank A” and “Bank B.”

    Jesus Christ man.

    Crazy huh.

    In desire, no; in perceptions of what the president has the power to do, yes.



  • California and New York have GDP’s above most other countries in the world.

    But Cali and New York do not reap the tax revenue of a country with the GDP of their size; they can only reap part of it, both because Federal taxes remove a portion of that taxable income, and because states are necessarily more limited in their options for taxation than national governments.

    It’s possible, don’t get me wrong, but significantly more difficult.

    Tell me why I shouldn’t blame the democrats for:

    Doing Obama care half assed, when something like 80% people wanted a public option.

    Bruh, do you not remember how Obamacare was passed?





  • It’s so crazy to blink past tanking indexes in Tokyo, Frankfurt, and Dubai while pumping a fist and announcing “Fuck yeah! We got Russia!”

    When the US suffers along with the rest of the world: “YES! Take THAT Amerikkkan Empire!”

    When Russia suffers along with the rest of the world: “W-we shouldn’t celebrate… t-think of everyone else who’s being hurt…”

    Curious, the difference in reactions to the exact same fucking crisis.






  • Really, SIT? I’d say that Fear Of The Dark (EDIT: I spoke too quickly, add Piece Of Mind to that) is the only Maiden album that even comes close to Bruce’s solo work. Which, to be fair, I’d say Fear Of The Dark could give any solo album except A Tyranny Of Souls a run for its money. But I’d say that even Accident Of Birth, the weakest of the solo albums, equals most Maiden albums in quality.

    I tend to prefer vocal work in music more generally, though, so there’s a definite bias there.
