Destroying Communism by invoking statist solutions like ordering corporations what to invest in and who should be running them.

Hmmmm.....

With the defunding or underfunding of most of the departments actually involved in determining whether there is an emergency or not, what's the point? Under Trump, there won't be emergencies to alert. It's all smooth sailing from here on out.

Come on, we need a joke of some sort. For the funeral.

At least that's how the troll scores it. Around 20 comments with the BS Subject is the closest the troll has ever come to winning.

Please don't propagate sock puppet Subjects.

Anyway:

Ma Nature is strong. We humans are rather like the stupid butterflies whose little wings sometimes accidentally trigger tornadoes or hurricanes.

Give the comment a Funny mod because crying doesn't help?

I'm having real troubled understanding how this particular dictator cult continues to function. Now if it was a dick-tator cult, then that might make a bit of linguistic humor sense...

Organized religion tends to be problematic, but these modern dictator cults are going too far when the dictators are not only crazy but crazy with nuclear bombs.

The joke I was looking for was a link to a deep fake porn video featuring this judge.

Oh wait. Make that an election campaign-related deep fake video featuring this judge. With a side order of kiddie porn?

The First Amendment needs a page-one rewrite. We are stupid animals. We act and speak without thinking. Many ways of fast thinking that are stupid, and now we have the technology to "flood the zone" with BS and basically eliminate any slow thinking (based on true stuff) that works better.

And there she goes. The story is now officially dead by Slashdot time.

Up until the Newt Gingrich's rise to power, the Libertarians were, fairly or unfairly, deemed Conservative's useful idiots.

The Republicans know full well what a destructive force he is, and they know to one extent or another he's going to do them damage. But the core desire of the Libertarian wing of the party is the decimation of the Federal Government, so they'll accept a few body blows in service of the cause.

Lithium aspartate, for example

The least-harm principle. There's essentially universal agreement that low (dietary-range) levels of lithium are not harmful, while the research as a whole is strongly suggestive of a benefit (but has not yet met the standards of, for example. an EPA regulatory standard for lithium in drinking water). Lithium, at the doses necessary, costs basically nothing, takes seconds to take, and is orders of magnitude away from the levels where potential toxicity symptoms can arise. To me, that's an easy call. Also, Alzheimer's runs in my family, so there's an extra factor weighing on the scale.

No issues with aspartate. It dissociates fully upon dissolution. L-aspartate is a building block to proteins. D-aspartate is also naturally found and used in the body.

They have core beliefs. Those beliefs are orthogonal to what we would deem to be normative politics.

Or being one of the companies with so much cash that, as of yet, Trump doesn't have sufficient levers of state in his hand to bring to bear.

The difference between statism and regulatory capture approaches 0 as you increase authoritarianism. The difference between capitalist oligarchy and party apparatchik is a distinction without a difference. They just spout the same sermon with different adjectives.
