Yeah, that’s him all over!
Aussie Greens MP uses barbie lighter on a river to show that fracking is bad. Damn thing is still cuyahogaing, they cannot seem to put it out.
She’s right, but it’s “whitesplaining”, so it’s wrong.
At least he’s consistent. I don’t think Cruz likes rich people any better. He certainly doesn’t like other politicians.
That’s an unbiased, even-handed sort of approach. Sorta. Kinda. Loves Jesus, hates people. I can see that.
From what I can tell, Cruz is unbiased in his hatred of people: he even hates himself.
That’s certainly one way to prove your point. “Policing in this town is terrible - why, I was able to rob three banks on the way over here this morning!”
Loving the use of “cuyahogaing” as a verb, BTW.
Ok, here’s my Stupid Liberal Idea of the Day. A bit of dark whimsy, not one I would actually endorse, but you know, just sharpening the guillotines. 
Like the old Hebrew Jubilee of forgiveness every 49 years, let’s have a 40-year sacrifice to Capitalism.
Every 40 years, we will randomly but publicly execute 10% of the Forbes 400 Richest Americans. Their assets will be seized, liquidated and distributed among the poorest 40% of the population, with no more than 5% allowed to go to administration and legal fees.
At the same time, we will likewise seize not more than 40% of the 40 largest university endowments, and distribute that money between the poorest 40% of public schools in the form of endowment funds. Again, not more than 5% allowed to go to administration and legal fees.
40-40-40
Forty of the 400 richest, 40 funds, 40% benefit, every 40 years.
Since 40 years is about two katuns, can we take them down to Belize and [del]sacrifice[/del] execute them upon a Mayan altar? The old-fashioned way?
Chimera’s idea would have a fascinating consequence: toward year 39 of the cycle, the richest of the rich would struggle not to be the richest of the rich any more. There would be a spree of charitable giving, as they sought not to be in the topmost 40. It would, on F-Day, be very difficult to identify the 40 richest; there might well be a million-person tie for the richest.
The protesters in California. Blocking traffic and trying to get in the hotel to stop Trump from speaking.
- Protest all you want, you have no right to stop another from speaking.
- Your antics piss off possible supporters.
- You play into and prove correct the Right’s rhetoric.
Get back on the sidewalks, scream and wave your signs all you want, respect the rights you expect others to respect toward you.
Once again, I’d like to point out that well this thread talks about what relatively powerless protesters do, the person they are protesting has come up with so many stupid ideas, he outgrew the other thread.

I agree. Here’s the CNN article. This is uncalled for.
Not so much an “idea” as “politicians acting like kindergartners”: Senator Harry Reid and Rep Alan Grayson have a bit of a tiff.
I’ve no love for either but holy cow, the way this went down was spectacularly immature.
Presumably Grayson was tired of Reid calling him “Baby”.
Senate Minority Leader right there, folks.
Both are problematic people for different reasons, but neither is really stupid. Grayson is a hothead and Reid is just 100% pure dick, so it’s not surprising that they’d have this kind of tiff.
The Democrats did good recruiting Pat Murphy though. That’s a future Presidential prospect right there. That was definitely a case of a smart liberal idea.
Or Francis.
The stupid part is the where, when and how of it.
Perhaps, but it’s totally predictable. Grayson was going to throw a fit and Reid has never been one to hide his disdain for those he has no respect for. Can’t blame people for being who they are. I think the stupid part is Grayon’s supporters, who tried to portray him as some kind of progressive hero when he’s really just the liberal version of Donald Trump.
We totally can, you know.
