War Room Lounge v54: I was there for Kimura-Gracie, solid crowd

[Jack V Savage]

Congress is responsible for the economy 95% of the time.

Not even. Except in very unusual circumstances (like the aftermath of the GFC, when interest rates hit 0 and unemployment was still high/inflation was still low), the Fed has far more impact than Congress or the president. And of course, the private sector has a big role. The public just thinks that if things are going well (again, measured by the recent trajectory), the president must be doing OK, but on an individual level, no one really thinks that the president is responsible for the economy--it's just something partisan blockheads say when it's convenient and then correctly deny when it no longer is.

On the bad job topic, I did fast food through high school but during the summer I doubled up and did landscaping. That work is a nightmare. Constantly under the sun and killing your back. Made the fast food job feel like I wasn’t even working.

@Lead If I call a white supremacist who said it is ok to rape your wife a rapist, will I get dubs?

 

[Trotsky]

Aside from the corruption, dishonesty, inconsistency, and objectively bad policy, "Send her back" might be a new low for this presidency.

Has anyone heard this Omar married her brother thing? Jesus, I know it is you cannot be racist against muslims, but I do not have the word for that kind of bigotry.

I think it's generally agreed that the worst work that one can possibly do is roofing in the summer.

Yeah, it's split between people who heard it and accepted it without care and those who know it's bullshit but repeat it because they're scumbags.

You've clearly never had to blow insulation into a boiling attic during the summer

If your attic is boiling, then you have a really strange and unfortunately placed pipe leak and your house is fucked.

I don't know what you hens are clucking about, but this topic, Young Republicans, crossed my mind while I was dropping off the kids at the pool this morning.

This current generation of young Republicans - ones who grew up with Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan openly engaging in bad faith politics and lying out of both sides of their mouths and came of age with Donald Trump completely normalizing openly lying and engaging in shameless corruption, yet who stuck with the party - what demon spawn are they going to be when they are in a place to be elected to government in a couple decades?

They'll all be little Paul Ryans if we're lucky, or Stephen Millers if we're unlucky imo.

These troll incursions are always weak sauce.

Trolling is allowed here now, which is why every day looks like a troll incursion.

Worst jobs I’ve had:

Busboy (too young to legally work, but it was my friend’s family Thai restaurant. Lots of fun actually because of coworkers but the job itself sucks)
House painter
Debt collector

So far today I have seen a guy use the phrase "bow down to the anglo", another defend the 14 words and claim it is not a white supremecist saying, and another guy call all muslims goat fuckers. And that is just the last few hours, all different posters.

Oh, and the ever popular "black people cannot rule themselves" trope

I've been mostly lucky and got all the shit jobs out of the way before I was a grown-up, but my worst was very bad, hand-washing industrial equipment filters, from small beer keg size to big beer keg size.

They had to be spotless and machine pre-washing them wasn't as much of a help as you'd expect. They had to be sprayed clean and the sprayer would rip very tiny holes in the filter (ruining them) if you messed up the angle or strength of the water, so there was a lot of pressure to do it just right. I lasted 6 or 8 weeks.

Soliciting for trade magazine subscriptions and assembling knockoff super-soakers in an unheated warehouse were bad jobs too, but temporary gigs.

Oh look who it is: the guy who may or may not watch kiddie porn on the regular.

Hello Mr Vice President. How has your welching proceeded since our last correspondence? @senri

In your capacity as a senior officeholder of the waiguoren fan club, I do expect more effort out of you than in the above post. For example, you could have made reference to my promiscuous mother, as in your previous missives.

I must say, if this level of sloppiness continues, I will be forced to promote the increasingly exuberant @Sycho Sid to replace you. Mr Sid has been positively effusive in his recent enthusiasm for me, although I have noted a decided lack of welching out of him. Of course, this is nothing that cannot be remedied via a few intimate sessions with the club's resident tippler, @Limbo Pete.


@Trotsky @Fawlty
Carry on with your boundless faith in government prosecutors to take down dark-skinned males, gentleman. This will make you popular among the fan club's members. Unfortunately, Fawlty, we have a strict policy against anal sex in our fan club.

This is fucking pathetic. Go stumble upon some worryingly young waifu on the dark web or whatever it is you do when you're not being a retard in here.

And tell your mother to stop texting me.
