Thursday Open Thread

Posted on January 31, 2019 by rikyrah

Hope all you mid-westerners are keeping warm and safe from the artic blast.

Did some video searching yesterday, while home from work. Dig in if you dare!

And I’ll leave you with this classic interview.

      And still the treasonous perpetrators remain …sitting pretty while being treated with effusive reverence and deference …and as if completely legit and deserving..

      And lest we forget, a treasonous buffoon (and his desperate, compromised, financially and morally bankrupt cohort and kkklan), has the nuclear codes – and complete access to America’s top secrets and most sensitive intelligence..

      May God help us..

        I’ve been sharing with my fam for so long about this insidiously mainstreamed soulless, malicious, entitled, condescending, snot-nosed, know-it-all, Alt-Right a-hole, Noah Rothman – part of that Tucker Carlson bow-tie wearing, ‘preppy’ racist ilk …Also part of this mix, the likes of that forever gaslighting, smarmy, tub of lard, John Podhoretz, malicious, racist weasel Jonah Goldberg etc. (Smerconish is of a lighter ‘Philly’ variety ..or at least his wannabe slick b*tt tries to pretend to be – while Joe Scarborough is their Jim Crow country bumpkin cousin who’s trying his darnedest to fit in/assimilate, ‘belong’ with his cool coastal preppy Alt-Right cousins)

        They also happen to share a particularly troublesome strain of Zionist, Neocon, white supremacist ‘ideology’.. pushed through their Commentary magazine – which now seems to have a permanent ‘relationship’ with MSNBC’s Morning Joe 3 hour show… And for some time now, has had a permanent running musical chair type presence of either Rothman or Podhoretz …

    So Noah Rothman’s point is that social justice efforts fail to convince folks like him, so they must be – therefore – wrong.

    Maybe, and I am just spitballing here, Mr. Rothman’s resistance to hearing anything that threatens his worldview is the problem? #morningjoe #MSNBC

    AOC proposes a 70% top marginal tax rate (only applied to income over $10 million).

    In 1965, the US applied a 70% top rate to income over $1.35 million (in today’s dollars).

    In 1981 the 70% top rate applied to income over $475,000 (in today’s dollars).

    I am inside-, but I just checked the commuter rail site to see how bad it was.There are three train stations that carry people into downtown. While two stations have delays, they completely shut down one station- no trains running. Damn…all those commuters out of luck.😒
