    Curious why Kelly brought her into the Situation Room for a simple firing in the first place. Why not his office? Did he know of her habit of recording and thought she would not in the Sit Room? She called his bluff if so.

    It’s good to have learned that Jews should have just not been in the wrong spot at the wrong time and all that holocausting wasn’t because of any kind of hatred.

    President Good Brain.

    Quote:
    Several times in the first year of his administration, President Donald Trump wanted to call Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the middle of the afternoon. But there was a problem. Midafternoon in Washington is the middle of the night in Tokyo — when Abe would be fast asleep.

    Trump’s aides had to explain the issue, which one diplomatic source said came up on “a constant basis,” but it wasn’t easy.

    “He wasn’t great with recognizing that the leader of a country might be 80 or 85 years old and isn’t going to be awake or in the right place at 10:30 or 11 p.m. their time,” said a former Trump NSC official. “When he wants to call someone, he wants to call someone. He’s more impulsive that way. He doesn’t think about what time it is or who it is,” added a person close to Trump.

    Awkward

    Quote:
    Yet another federal judge on Monday issued an opinion upholding Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s authority — this one, for the first time, coming from a judge appointed by President Donald Trump, who has dubbed Mueller’s probe a “witch hunt.”

    U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich denied the request by a Russian firm, accused of funding the Russian social media troll effort, to throw out Mueller’s case against it.

    Her opinion said that the Supreme Court and D.C. Appeals Court had made clear that that the acting attorney general had the authority to appoint a special counsel.

    Here's the poll itself: https://news.gallup.com/poll/240770/...&g_medium=copy

    It isn't even the highest favorability overall that socialism has received (it was higher in 2012). Second, it wasn't an either/or question, asking which a respondent prefers to the other.

    Trying to use this poll to equate a majority of Dems as socialists is ignorant of how to read a poll.

    As the Gallup follow-up article notes: https://news.gallup.com/poll/240725/...apitalism.aspx

    Quote:
    Bottom Line

    A majority of Democrats have viewed socialism positively each time Gallup has measured the concept since 2010, and -- despite the increased visibility given to the concept this year -- those views have not changed substantively
    Quote:
    The talk about the Democratic Party moving more toward socialist policies in its platforms in this year's midterm elections was muted with the failure of several socialist candidates to capture their party's nomination in recent primary voting. And, although a majority -- even if not an overwhelming one -- of Democrats nationwide react positively to the word "socialism," the strong antipathy toward socialism among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents suggests a political campaign favorable to socialism would not play well in a general election.

    The fact that the % of democrats who view socialism positively hasn’t changed much since 2016 (not 2012 like you said) isn’t that relevant. The fact that almost 60% view it favorably and now a significant % view it favorably compared to those same figures for capitalism is relevant because the former seems high (to me anyways) and the latter is a change.

    Just find it funny that above the fray, calling out whataboutism baboon instantly deflects to polls about the GOP when someone mentions democrats positive inclinations toward socialism and their growing antipathy towards capitalism.

    This is what happens when the right votes in the single most inept human being to ever be President.

    As in physics, it's basic human nature. Every action has an opposite and equal reaction.

    Putting someone this dumb in charge is going to have a similar and opposite reaction. Hopefully we don't go full dumb with our nominee...

    Putting aside the fact that people color in their own meaning of these terms if not presented with a definition:

    Quote:
    The question wording does not define "socialism" or "capitalism" but simply asks respondents whether their opinion of each is positive or negative.
    Many 'conservatives' are big fans of socialist US policies like Social Security, Medicare, public schools, public emergency services, public defense, roads and infrastructure. Stop the presses!

    Maybe if capitalism (a similarly imprecise broad brush term as socialism) were working to improve the economic situations of as many everyday people as it does for the ultra-wealthy in this country the term wouldn't be falling in favor.

    I was referring to the overall (all responses). As you can see in the graph included in the gallup article:

    I'm sorry, but if I had to respond to everything Shotty posted in an "above the fray" way; I wouldn't be able to have nearly as much fun here as I do

    Again, my intention wasn't to deflect as much as just show how nonsensical it is to broadly paint over a poll like this one (or the ones I posted). Maybe I did that poorly, I ain't perfect

    I don't think anyone (of sane mind) would disagree. Especially on the first part of that sentence.

    The question going forward is seeking the most optimal system to ensure proper distribution of gains so that the US can maintain its position at the top in many economic categories. The current trajectory indicates we probably have to make a change. We don't have true capitalism, we don't have terribly much socialism. We have a good deal of cronyism. The current blend is putting us behind or setting us up for failure.

    I don't have the know-how to do the type of analysis needed (and maybe there isn't enough hard data and only trial by error can determine what is best), but it isn't shocking to see Americans look elsewhere for answers. That doesn't mean the left suddenly wants to be 1930's Germany socialist though.

    They sucked even when Tom briefly came back. That band died with their hiatus following their Untitled album.

    That run from Dude Ranch, Enema, TOYPAJ, and Untitled is a vastly underrated studio run though. Few bands ever put out 4 consecutive big hitters like that

    I agree. As do the intermingled socialistic elements of our society. They live side by side in harmony mostly. All that's being debated in America right now is tilting the scale towards a few more socialistic policies since the current set-up is leaving many feeling very squeezed. The sky is not falling all you Chicken Littles.

    lol yeah. I saw them during that come back and it was just Mark making fun of Tom and his "space stuff" but they were still fun. With Skiba it just felt fake...wouldn't go again

    Maybe if capitalism (a similarly imprecise broad brush term as socialism) were working to improve the economic situations of as many everyday people as it does for the ultra-wealthy in this country the term wouldn't be falling in favor.
    nailed it.

    In the end, we're a mixed capitalist economy...which is significantly different from pure capitalism.
