Yes. Keep those brown people out of here.
 
Irrelevant.

I’m not talking about r’s.

I’m talking about here. A child dies in US custody, and we talk wall st.

Sad and disappointing. Even if expected from some “holier than thou” posters.

This president is having more of an impact than people want.

For his 40% he's not having enough impact. Brown people still exist.

40% of the country would say its their kids' fault for coming.

I am glad that people are realizing percentages of the drops (mind you, it's still really bad) instead of just raw numbers.

What the **** are you talking about? Literally no one here or really anyone I know misunderstands how numbers work.

You must not know very many people outside of the mathematical or science fields in your real life. Just yesterday I had to explain to someone how increasing from 100 to 125 was a 25% increase and not a 20% increase. This person has a BA rather than a BS degree, which shouldn't surprise. There are some people who are simply not good at math.

"The Bubble" in action.

I've talked to a number of people (mostly conservatives) who believe that what's happening is strictly a panic herd mentality in the sell off. Funny thing...is that those people didn't question the validity of Dow 26,000 up from Dow 18,000 a year and a half earlier.

So in their minds, the crazy run up was totally understandable/justified when Trump didn't touch the economy - and the crazy sell off is unjustified herd panic after Trump messed with it.

It's the same mentality that causes Congress to return 90+% of its incumbents every two years, despite both chambers collectively experiencing approval ratings lower than the Catholic Church. My Congresshuman isn't the problem when things go to sh*t.

He would never lower himself to talk to a measly Civil Servant. Trust me I have been in a room with the man if you dont reek of money he doesnt even dare look in your direction.

Aaron Sorkin has always had a fantastic way of putting words to paper and finding the right voices to speak those words.

Attorney General* Whitaker lied on his resume and on government documents claiming to be an Academic All American

The best people.

There are a lot of people who are freak out about, say a 1000 pt drop in a 20,000 pt market (just using basic numbers here as an example), but they don't freak out if you tell them the market only dropped 5%. They just see the "big number" and that's all they understand.

Not quite 6 years old, but not bad. NSFW for language.

Next time, warn us before you send us to YouTube accounts that will proceed to pollute our Suggestions feeds with titles like "Tucker Carlson OWNS Lib College Snowflake Who Argues that T3h SOCIALISM Works!!1!!1!" for the next week, OK? I expect that from Flaggy, which is why I no longer click his links to far-right verbal diarrhea. Thanks in advance.

Otherwise, yeah, the show/character makes its/his point. America, as it stands, gets a Gentleman's B. However, my idea of fixing it, and your idea of fixing it, and Brent's idea of fixing it, and trixie's idea of fixing it are all relatively different. Flaggy, he just wants to watch the world burn. As for Scooby, he complains so much and the glass is always so empty for him, I'm convinced he doesn't want anything fixed, just so he can keep complaining about it. :D

Sorkin's character there is basically the ethos of a Trump voter. I don't actually have solutions, I just want to rant and rave about the Founders and the Constitution, and unjustifiably act like a dick to everyone who I think is screwing me and America over (aka, everyone who doesn't agree with me).

So apparently some of the theories about him not actually being in the White House were true.

You encapsulated pretty well why I hate that clip and hate seeing that clip.
