And what they don't understand is that if they could actually prove that Joe or Hunter broke the law...Dems would be fine with them being punished for it... But they can't ever prove it.
So far it's just a lot of hot air and speculation and whataboutism...

Is this the level of proof needed in your world? I think Dave Chappelle is singing your tune.

Elsewhere in cyberspace, 74 million views really must've put a dent into the RINO circus' ratings on Fox tonight ...

Are all right wing comics this... ham fisted? In addition to being painfully obvious, they always make sure to caption it too. Is it that the people that find this funny are so stupid that they need the joke literally spoon fed to them?

They're all LCD. They have to be or the target audience wouldn't get the "joke". I prefer cartoonists who make me think.

There are very few genuinely funny conservatives. Self-deprecation is a common trait among many comics, but the average mouth-breather on the right doesn't have the capacity for introspection.

Still don't know how capitalism "Works" or doesn't "work". Sad.

Capitalism is the art of convincing the suburban white collar male that he's short and/or is dick is small, so he needs a $70,000 Tesla, BMW, or F-150 Platinum to puff up his manliness.

Speaking of, I wonder how many of these Teslas and F-150s we'll see repo'd and sold for debt in the coming months.

That's consumerism.

Capitalism is having rich people own the place you work so they can squeeze you like a sponge to extract every scintilla of value from you, regardless of the effect on your health and happiness, and then fire you the second your expected value drops below a minimum wage new hire.

In exchange, the products you buy cost 1 penny less.
 
What I find remarkable is how "capital" managed to convince the working class (from the working poor through upper middle class) that the problems they face aren't caused by the wealthy (you know, the people that set salaries and roughly determine costs), but by the poor, who have no ability to set policy and often don't use enough resources to have any meaningful impact.

The problems we face are solved by looking up, but instead we look down. It's brilliant. Evil, truly evil. But brilliant.

There was a video on YouTube with three guys with piles of crackers. The rich guy distracts the middle class guy to blame poor guy, while he steals his crackers. It was brilliant but I have lost it.

Well the WGA is doing a good job of making sure everyone knows who is to blame for their issues. One good thing about social media is that the truth is easier to find. Doesn't mean people care more though...

I think for a lot of people it’s easier to understand culture war issues than it is economic ones.
 
You talking just white people? Because if I’m not white, focusing on culture issues makes it easy for me to vote Democrat every single time.

The simple fact that there apparently IS a culture war does make it easy, as one side wants to make it a real war as opposed to accepting that we are all, equally, American. And if you want to have a culture war, you are very much not American.

See, they’re well red, not well read. A single little letter makes all the difference.
