Terrorists!!!!

Just Take it All.

After decades of forcing through tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, again and again Republicans are going all in promoting the bullshit that there is a deficit crisis.
Here is how it works:

1) Cut taxes for the rich and corporations (corporate stock is mostly owned by the top 1%); big deficits result.
2) Claim a deficit emergency and use their domination of corporate-owned media to whip the public into a panic, creating the appearance of demand for corporate-approved "solutions." Manipulate the appearance of consensus.
3) With taxes and military “off the table” push through cuts in the things government does for We, the People.

Repeat as often as needed to create a plutocracy.

Today's "debt crisis" is the culmination of the long-term "starve the beast" strategy from an organized corporate-conservative movement. By cutting taxes for the wealthy they have starved the government, created massive debt (guess where the interest payments go).

Ain't Capitalism grand?

Rudely Speaking

The Rude Pundit

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's eyes have the glazed over look of a man who just jacked off to a Facebook album of your niece's fifth birthday party. Actually, that's not accurate because that assumes that Walker would try to hide his proclivities. Indeed, Walker seems more like the kind of guy who'd walk into that party with a Koch Industries dildo in his ass and tell everyone to watch while he yanked it to the musical chairs songs. God help the little girl who is in the last chair. For what else do you say about a governor whose official website has a press release titled "Walker Calls Democrat Legislators Back Into State." You got that? Not "Democratic," but the politicized, insulting "Democrat" as adjective. It's like getting a note from your boss on company stationery that calls you a "cocksucker."

Gaaawwwd, read the whole thing.

Stupidity at it's Finest

Apparently recovering from a meth/crack binge with aging hookers, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie actually said:

"[T]he unions are trying to break the middle class in New Jersey."

So unfuckingbelievable that I'll leave the commenting to you giuze.

Seriously!!!

It's Not all About Unions

Let's put this shit into proper perspective:

If the earnings of those thirteen top earning hedge-fund managers were taxed as ordinary income, the revenues generated would pay the salaries and benefits of 300,000 teachers. Who is more valuable to our society – thirteen hedge-fund managers or 300,000 teachers? Let’s make the question even simpler. Who is more valuable: One hedge fund manager or one teacher?

A hedge fund manager has worth?

Impeach the Bastard!!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) wants to see his home state of Nevada end legal prostitution, which he believes may be an impediment to economic development:
"Nevada needs to be known as the first place for innovation and investment -- not as the last place where prostitution is still legal."
We'll see how that goes.

Ratigan: "We Spent Four Times More On Clinton's Blowjob Than We Did Investigating The Financial Crisis"

Why Doesn't He Just Threaten to Hold His Breath?

What a surprise! It seems that one of the more popular ways for Rushthuglicans to accomplish what they want is by taking hostages:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Mubarak Walker warns that state employees could start receiving layoff notices as early as next week if a bill eliminating collective bargaining rights isn't passed soon. Walker said Tuesday in a statement to The Associated Press that the layoffs wouldn't take effect immediately. He didn't say which workers would be targeted.

The right wingers keep saying that the reason they had to give all those tax cuts to big corporations and the rich (which broke the budget) was because it would stimulate the economy and create jobs. Now he's willing to eliminate jobs just to get his way.
Let us know how THAT works out, Hosni.

Serfin' USA

The massive popular Marxist insurrection uprising in Wisconsin seems to be spreading to Ohio and Michigan.

Michigan union leaders and social justice activists will join with colleagues in Wisconsin and Ohio on Tuesday as the AFL-CIO plans street protests in Lansing against Republican Gov. Rick Snyder's attempt to balance the state budget on the backs of public employees.

Wisconsinstan, Michiganistan, and Ohiostan...what do they all have in common? Voting for a Muslim president. Besides everybody knows that it's an American citizens' God given RIGHT to be completely at the mercy of a corporation! Anything less is fucking COMMUNISM and we can't be having that shit.
Teabag me, already.

Snort!

Why I voted Rushthuglibot via Driftglass

I voted Republican because I think the Confederacy had it just about right.

I voted Republican because I know that I can trust unregulated

I voted Republican because, damn it, we don't need our food inspected, or our streets paved, or clean water, or fire departments.

I voted Republican because I believe that government should police and regulate women's vaginae. Unlike, say, mountaintop mining companies or the entire pharmaceutical industry.

I voted Republican because I only give a shit about deficits...or the constitution...or illegal wars...when there is someone in the White House with a (D) after their name.

I voted Republican because I believe blowjobs are impeachable offenses, but torture, secret prisons and illegal wars are just good, clean fun!


I voted Republican because I believe that somehow, someday, I will join the ranks of the wealthiest 1/10th of 1% of the population that Republicans actually care about.

I voted Republican because its easier than thinking for myself.

Your turn.

Does anybody get this?

Let's give tax breaks to rich ass corporatists and then claim we're in a financial crisis and need deep spending cuts, except for military spending and bailouts for banksters.
To fall for this bullshit charade is pretty much like ignoring reality.Thanks, Teabaggers, you have the right idea, just pay attention to Wisconsin and Ohio and quit being tools.
Together, WE can do this.

Chomsky: Wis. may be ‘start’ of US revolt

Just a brief comment for discussion: The way MSM framed this whole debate has back-fired. They basically are calling the union workers lazy, greedy parasites. Really? Police officers and firefighters? Garbage collectors and state park workers? Teachers?
The corporate media indirectly is saying the hard working people should give up pensions, retirement plans, social security, give all that up just so the elite can skim that money. The very elite who caused the crash.
Good luck with that, asswipes.
It's time.
